Precision Mass Measurements of Short-lived Nuclides at the Heavy-ion Storage Ring in Lanzhou

Recent commissioning of the Cooler Storage Ring at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou enabled us to conduct high-precision mass measurements at the Institute of Modern Physics in Lanzhou (IMP). In the past few years, mass measurements were performed using the CSRe-based isochronous mass spectrometry employing the fragmentation of the energetic beams of 58Ni, 78Kr, 86Kr, and 112Sn projectiles. Masses of short-lived nuclides on both sides of the stability valley were addressed. Relative mass precision of down to 10−6 ~ 10−7 is routinely achieved. The mass values were used as an input for dedicated nuclear structure and astrophysics studies, providing for instance new insights into the rp-process of nucleosynthesis in X-ray bursts. In this contribution, we briefly review the so far conducted experiments and the main achieved results, as well as outline the plans for future experiments.     

Impact of counter-rotating-wave term on quantum heat transfer and phonon statistics in nonequilibrium qubit–phonon hybrid system

Counter-rotating-wave terms(CRWTs)are traditionally viewed to be crucial in open small quantum systems with strong system–bath dissipation.Here by exemplifying in a nonequilibrium qubit–phonon hybrid model,we show that CRWTs can play the significant role in quantum heat transfer even with weak system–bath dissipation.By using extended coherent phonon states,we obtain the quantum master equation with heat exchange rates contributed by rotating-waveterms(RWTs)and CRWTs,respectively.We find that including only RWTs,the steady state heat current and current fluctuations will be significantly suppressed at large temperature bias,whereas they are strongly enhanced by considering CRWTs in addition.Furthermore,for the phonon statistics,the average phonon number and two-phonon correlation are nearly insensitive to strong qubit–phonon hybridization with only RWTs,whereas they will be dramatically cooled down via the cooperative transitions based on CRWTs in addition.Therefore,CRWTs in quantum heat transfer system should be treated carefully.     

Properties of ground state and anomalous quantum fluctuations in one-dimensional polaron-soliton systems—the effects of electron-two-phonon interaction and non-adiabatic quantum correlations

Based on the Holstein model Hamiltonian of one-dimensional molecular crystals, by making use of the expansion approach of the correlated squeezed-coherent states of phonon instead of the two-phonon coherent state expansion scheme, the properties of the ground state and the anomalous quantum fluctuations are investigated in a strongly coupled electron-phonon system with special consideration of the electron-two-phonon interaction. The effective renormalization (αi) of the displacement of the squeezed phonons with the effect of the squeezed-coherent states of phonon and both the electron-displaced phonon and the polaron-squeezed phonon correlations have been combined to obtain the anomalous quantum fluctuations for the corrections of the coherent state. Due to these non-adiabatic correlations, the effective displacement parameter αi is larger than the ordinary parameter α (0) i . In comparison with the electron-one-phonon interaction (g) corrected as αig, we have found the electron-two-phonon interaction (g1) corrected as αi2 g1 is enhanced significantly. For this reason, the ground state energy (E(2) 0 ) contributed by the electron-two-phonon interaction is more negative than the single-phonon case (E(1) 0 ) and the soliton solution is more stable. At the same time, the effects of the electron-two-phonon interaction greatly increase the polaron energy and the quantum fluctuations. Furthermore, in a deeper level, we have considered the effect of the polaron-squeezed phonon correlation (f-correlation). Since this correlation parameter f > 1, this effect will strengthen the electron-one and two-phonon interactions by fαig and f2αi2 g1, respectively. The final results show that the ground state energy and the polaron energy will appear more negative further and the quantum fluctuations will gain further improvement.     

Investigation on performance of all optical buffer with large dynamical delay time based on cascaded double loop optical buffers

Optical buffers are critical for optical signal processing in future optical packet-switched networks. In this paper, a theoretical study as well as an experimental demonstration on a new optical buffer with large dynamical delay time is carried out based on cascaded double loop optical buffers (DLOBs). It is found that pulse distortion can be restrained by a negative optical control mode when the optical packet is in the loop. Noise analysis indicates that it is feasible to realise a large variable delay range by cascaded DLOBs. These conclusions are validated by the experiment system with 4-stage cascaded DLOBs. Both the theoretical simulations and the experimental results indicate that a large delay range of 1-9999 times the basic delay unit and a fine granularity of 25 ns can be achieved by the cascaded DLOBs. The performance of the cascaded DLOBs is suitable for the all optical networks.     

Generalized unscented Kalman filtering based radial basis function neural network for the prediction of ground radioactivity time series with missing data

On the assumption that random interruptions in the observation process are modeled by a sequence of independent Bernoulli random variables, we firstly generalize two kinds of nonlinear filtering methods with random interruption failures in the observation based on the extended Kalman filtering (EKF) and the unscented Kalman filtering (UKF), which were shortened as GEKF and GUKF in this paper, respectively. Then the nonlinear filtering model is established by using the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) prototypes and the network weights as state equation and the output of RBFNN to present the observation equation. Finally, we take the filtering problem under missing observed data as a special case of nonlinear filtering with random intermittent failures by setting each missing data to be zero without needing to pre-estimate the missing data, and use the GEKF-based RBFNN and the GUKF-based RBFNN to predict the ground radioactivity time series with missing data. Experimental results demonstrate that the prediction results of GUKF-based RBFNN accord well with the real ground radioactivity time series while the prediction results of GEKF-based RBFNN are divergent.

毛细现象公式的导出

液体表面分子间的吸引力、液体表面的分子有一种使其面积缩成最小的力,或称一种抵抗表面积扩张的力,此力称“表面张力”．液体表面是指液体与空气或其他液体相接触的自由面．若不指明,即可认为相对于空气而言．表面张力的大小与接触面的物质有密切关系．此外,表面张力还与温度有关,温度越高,表面张力越小．表面张力的方向总是与液面相切,与分界线相垂直．若在液面作一长为L的直线,将液面分成两部分,这两部分之间的相互牵引力为F,即表面张力F=σL．其中σ为液体表面张力系数．单位为N/m．由于表面张力的作用,液滴表面有收缩到最小的趋势,而使液滴成近似球形的状态．     

Lump,lumpoff and predictable rogue wave solutions to a dimensionally reduced Hirota bilinear equation

We study a simplified(3+1)-dimensional model equation and construct a lump solution for the special case of z=y using the Hirota bilinear method.Then,a more general form of lump solution is constructed,which contains more arbitrary autocephalous parameters.In addition,a lumpoff solution is also derived based on the general lump solutions and a stripe soliton.Furthermore,we figure out instanton/rogue wave solutions via introducing two stripe solitons.Finally,one can better illustrate these propagation phenomena of these solutions by analyzing images.     

Arbitrary full-state hybrid projective synchronization for chaotic discrete-time systems via a scalar signal

In this paper we present a new projective synchronization scheme,where two chaotic(hyperchaotic) discretetime systems synchronize for any arbitrary scaling matrix.Specifically,each drive system state synchronizes with a linear combination of response system states.The proposed observer-based approach presents some useful features:i) it enables exact synchronization to be achieved in finite time(i.e.,dead-beat synchronization);ii) it exploits a scalar synchronizing signal;iii) it can be applied to a wide class of discrete-time chaotic(hyperchaotic) systems;iv) it includes,as a particular case,most of the synchronization types defined so far.An example is reported,which shows in detail that exact synchronization is effectively achieved in finite time,using a scalar synchronizing signal only,for any arbitrary scaling matrix.     

Model-independent Veltman condition,naturalness and the little hierarchy problem

We adopt a bottom-up Effective Field Theory(EFT)approach to derive a model-independent Veltman condition to cancel out the quadratic divergences in the Higgs mass.We show using the equivalence theorem that all the deviations in the Higgs couplings to the W and Z from the SM predictions should vanish.We argue based on tree-level unitarity that any new physics that naturally cancels out the quadratic divergences should be ≤19 TeV.We show that the level of fine-tuning required is unless the O(0:1%-1%) UV sector has a symmetry that forces the satisfaction of the model-independent Veltman condition,in which case all fine-tuning is eliminated.We also conjecture that,if no new physics that couples to the Higgs is observed up to~19 TeV,or if the Higgs couplings to the SM particles conform to the SM predictions,then the Higgs either does not couple to any UV sector or is fine-tuned.

电导率各向异性金属薄板感应式磁声图像的仿真

为了给金属薄板感应式磁声(MAT-MI)成像算法的研究提供数据源,提出一种电导率各向异性金属薄板表面MAT-MI图像的数值仿真方法。建立含缺陷的电导率各向异性金属薄板仿真模型,并将其置于静磁场中。将通入交变电流的折线线圈置于金属薄板上方,对金属薄板在静磁场和交变磁场共同作用下产生的感应涡流以及声源(即洛伦兹力)进行数值仿真,得到金属薄板表面波位移分布的灰度图像。仿真实验结果表明,根据表面波位移在缺陷处迅速衰减的特性,可从图像中准确地识别并定位金属薄板表面的缺陷。忽略金属材料的电导率各向异性会降低成像质量,进而导致对缺陷的误判。通过提高表面波位移信号的信噪比可改善成像质量。减小提高距离或增大激励电流频率,可提高系统对微小缺陷和不规则缺陷检测的分辨力。

The clonal selection algorithm stemmed from the natural immune system is employed to learn antibodies. Experimental results on textile image inspection are presented to illustrate the merit and feasibility of the proposed method.     

Propagation of acoustic waves in the woodpile sonic crystal with a defect

Acoustic wave propagation in a woodpile sonic crystal with a defect is studied theoretically and experimentally. The woodpile sonic crystal is composed of polymethyl methacrylate square rods which orthogonally stacked together, and it is embedded in air background. Defects are created by varying the width and positions of the middle rods in the periodic structure. Defect bands and transmission spectra are calculated by using the finite element method with the periodic boundary condition and the Bloch–Floquet theorem. Frequencies of defect bands are strongly dependent on the width and positions of the middle rods in the periodic structure. The experimental transmission spectra of the woodpile sonic crystals with a defect are also presented and compared with the numerical results. The defect mode properties of the woodpile sonic crystal with a defect can be applied to design novel acoustic devices for filtering sound and trapping sound in defects.     

Vibro-modulation and Guided wave techniques for contact defect detection in plate

A nonlinear acoustic technique for detection of contact defects in plates was developed associating guided waves with vibro-modulation techniques.The low frequency vibration varies the interface area within the contact defect;then the amplitude and phase of high frequency guided waves reflected from the contact defect will be modulated.Due to the exiting of contact defects,there was obvious low frequency component in the time-frequency distribution of modulated guided wave series.Furthermore the nonlinear responses at frequency of vibration were extracted out and used for defect imaging.It was shown that the nonlinear guided wave imaging method based on vibration modulation can effectively characterize and locate the nonlinear contact defects.
