Transfer Ionization of Isocharge Sequence Ion and Ar Collisions

The study of multi-electron process has been a very active area of atomic physics research. The simultaneous electron emission and electron transfer is one of the most interesting two-electron processes in the study Of ionatom collisions, In last decade much experimental and theoretical attention has been devoted to the process, named transfer ionization (TI). This process is normally considered as the successive process of the single electron capture and the ionization of the second or more target electrons. The studies of transfer ionization are motivated by the understanding of the role of the electron correlation in ion-atom collisions which is of great interest in basic atomic physics and may provide important information for the applications both in astrophysics and fusion plasmas researches. Different authors have investigated the transfer ionization process by measuring the angular distribution of the emitted electrons. Up to now, the systematic study of the transfer ionization and the dependences of these processes on the collision parameters for the low energy ion-atom collisions are still rarely reported in the literatures.     

Inversion of an Atomic Wave Packet in a Circularly Polarized Electromagnetic Wave

We study behavior of an atomic wave packet in a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave,and particularly calculate the atomic inversion of the wave packet.A general method of calculation is presented.The results are interesting.For example,if the wave packet is very narrow or /and the interaction is very strong,no matter the atom is initially in its ground state or excited state,the atomic inversion approaches zero as time approaches infinity.If the atom is initially in its ground state and excited state with the probability 1/2 respectively,and if the momentum density is an even function,then the atomic inversion equals zero at any time.     

Transverse mass distributions of protons produced in heavy-ion collisions at high energies

The transverse mass distributions of protons produced in Au-Au collisions at 8 A GeV and Pb-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV are calculated by using the Monte Carlo method in the framework of the multisource ideal gas model.It is found that our calculated results are in agreement with the experimental data in nucleusnucleus collisions at high energies.     

X-ray Emission Induced by Interaction of Highly Charged Ions with Solid Surface

The X-rays with energy from 1 keV to 60 keV in the interaction of highly charged ions (HCI) with a variety of solid surfaces were investigated at the research platform for atomic physics with the electron cyclone resonance (ECR) ion resource at IMP. We altered the projectile kinetic energy from 150 keV to about 400 keV. The X-ray excited by the projectile with the surface is shown in Fig.l, and a threshold of the projectile kinetic energy for this excitation is observed. Combining the colliding theory of classic electrodynamics with the concept of quantized orbits, we crudely give this threshold energy Tm as follows,     

Microwave Atomic Clock in the Optical Lattice with Specific Frequency

A scheme for a microwave atomic clock is proposed for Cs or Rb atoms trapped in a blue detuned optical lattice. The ac Stark shift of the clock transition due to a trapping laser is calculated. We analyze it at some specific laser wavelength. Compared with the case of the fountain clock, the cavity related shifts, the collision shift and the Doppler effect are eliminated or suppressed dramatically in an atomic lattice clock. By analyzing various sources of clock uncertainty, a microwave atomic lattice clock with a high accuracy and small volume is feasible.     

Electromagnetically—induced transparency in a multi—V—type system in cesium atomic vapour

Electromagnetically-induced transparency is observed in a three-level multi-V-type system in cesium vapour at room temperature.The absorption property is measured and the hyperfine structures of atomic states can be datermined.The results of the experiment agree with the theoretical analysis.     

Effects of the Centre－of－Mass Motion on the Population Trapping of Ultracold Atoms

We investigate the effects of the atomic centre-of-mass motion on atomic population trapping in a two-modemicromaser injected with ultracold A-type three-level atoms. We find that in the mazer regime (the case in whichthe atomic kinetic energy is much smaller than the atom-field interaction energy), the interplay between reflectionand transmission of the ultracold atom leads to the destruction of the atomic population trapping.     

Medium Density and Parton Energy Loss in Gold-Gold Collisions from the Recombination Model

The pion production at mid-rapidity in gold-gold collisions at √s = 200 GeV is investigated by the parton recombination model. The density of the hot medium produced in the collisions and the hard parton energy loss effect are obtained by fitting the experimental data. Both of them are found to have power-law dependence on the number of binary collisions. The implication of such dependence on the nuclear modification factor is discussed.     

Simultaneous negative permittivity and permeability in a coherent atomic vapour

A new quantum optical mechanism to realize simultaneously negative electric permittivity and magnetic permeability is suggested. In order to obtain a negative permeability, we choose a proper atomic configuration that can dramatically enhance the contribution of the magnetic-dipole allowed transition via the atomic phase coherence. It is shown that the atomic system chosen with proper optical parameters can give rise to striking electromagnetic responses (leading to a negative refractive index) and that the atomic vapour becomes a left-handed medium in an optical frequency band. Differing from the previous schemes of artificial composite metamaterials (based on classical electromagnetic theory) to achieve the left-handed materials, which consist of anisotropic millimetre-scale composite structure units, the left-handed atomic vapour presented here is isotropic and homogeneous at the atomic-scale level. Such an advantage may be valuable in realizing the superlens (and hence perfect image) with left-handed atomic vapour.     

Pseudorapidity distribution of multiplicity in Au Au collisions at (S_(NN))~(1/2)=200 GeV

Using the Glauber model,we discuss the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions in heavy-ion collisions.Based on the latter,after considering the effect of energy loss of the nucleons in multiple colli- sions,we derive the pseudorapidity distribution of the multiplicity as a function of the impact parameter in nucleus-nucleus collisions.Using this,we analyze the experimental measurements carried out by the BRAHMS Collaboration in Au Au collisions at Pseudorapidity distribution of multiplicity in Au Au collisions at (S_(NN))~(1/2)=200 GeV)=200 GeV.The results are in good agreement with the experi- mental observations.     

Constituent quark number scaling from strange hadron spectra in pp collisions at ■=13 TeV

We show that the p_T spectra of Ω~- and φ at midrapidity in the inelastic events in pp collisions at ■=13 TeV exhibit a constituent quark number scaling property,which is a clear signal of quark combination mechanism at hadronization.We use a quark combination model with equal velocity combination approximation to systematically study the production of identified hadrons in pp collisions at ■=13 TeV.The midrapidity spectra for protons,∧,Ξ~-,Ω~-,φ and K~* in the inelastic events are simultaneously fitted by the model.The multiplicity dependence of the yields of these hadrons are also well understood.The strong p_T dependence of the p/φ ratio is well explained by the model,which further suggests that the production of two hadrons with similar masses is determined by their quark content at hadronization.The p_T spectra of strange hadrons at midrapidity in different multiplicity classes in pp collisions at ■=13 TeV are predicted for further tests of the model.The midrapidity p_T spectra of soft (p_T 2 GeV/c)strange quarks and up/down quarks at hadronization in pp collisions at ■=13 TeV are extracted.     

Fidelity of light storage in warm atomic gases at different storage time

The fidelity of light with arbitrary polarizations stored in a warm STRb atomic vapor at different storage time is studied. The exponential decay of regeneration efficiency with the storage time is observed and a detectable signal at 300-us storage time is still existed. The storage fidelity at different storage time is well maintained in our experiment.     

Pseudorapidity distribution of multiplicity in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200GeV

Using the Glauber model, we discuss the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions in heavy-ion collisions. Based on the latter, after considering the effect of energy loss of the nucleons in multiple collisions, we derive the pseudorapidity distribution of the multiplicity as a function of the impact parameter in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Using this, we analyze the experimental measurements carried out by the BRAHMS Collaboration in Au+Au collisions at √s_NN=200GeV. The results are in good agreement with the experimental observations.     

Multiplicity fluctuation and correlation of mesons and baryons in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the LHC

We study the multiplicity fluctuation and correlation of identified mesons and baryons formed at hadronization by the quark combination mechanism in the context of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Based on the statistical method of free quark combination, we derive the two-hadron multiplicity correlations, including meson-meson and meson-baryon correlations, and take the effects of quark number fluctuation at hadronization into account by a Taylor expansion method. After including the decay contributions, we calculate the dynamical fluctuation observable ν_(dyn) for Kπ, pπ and Kp pairs and discuss what underlying physics can be obtained by comparing with data from Pb-Pb collisions at sNN~(1/2)=2.76 Te V and simulations from the HIJING and AMPT event generators.     

Photoproduction of J/ψ in non-single-diffractive p+p collisions

Significant enhancements of J/ψ production at very low transverse momenta were recently observed by the ALICE and STAR collaborations in peripheral hadronic A+A collisions. The anomalous excess points to coherent photon-nucleus interactions in violent hadronic heavy-ion collisions, which were conventionally studied only in ultra-peripheral collisions. Assuming that the coherent photoproduction is the underlying mechanism responsible for the excess observed in peripheral A+A collisions, its contribution in p+p collisions with nuclear overlap, i.e. nonsingle-diffractive collisions, is of particular interest. In this paper, we perform a calculation of exclusive J/ψ photoproduction in non-single-diffractive p+p collisions at the RHIC and LHC energies based on the pQCD motivated parametrization using the world-wide experimental data, which could be further employed to improve the precision of the phenomenological calculations for photoproduction in A+A collisions. The differential rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of J/ψ from photoproduction are presented. In comparison with the J/ψ production from hadronic interactions, we find that the contribution of photoproduction is negligible.     

Central nucleus-nucleus collisions at relativistic energies with a new method based on Random Matrix Theory

Using the method based on Random Matrix Theory （RMT）, the results for the nearest-neighbor distributions obtained from the experimental data on ^12C-C collisions at 4.2 AGeV/c have been discussed and compared with the simulated data on ^12C-C collisions at 4.2 AGeV/c produced with the aid of the Dubna Cascade Model. The results show that the correlation of secondary particles decreases with an increasing number of charged particles Nch. These observed changes in the nearest-neighbor distributions of charged particles could be associated with the centrality variation of the collisions.     

Production of recoil ions He^i＋ accompanied by single electron loss of 0.2-7 MeV C^q＋ and 0.25-5 MeV O^q＋ （q = 1- 4） ions

Target ionization accompanied with projectile electron loss is investigated for 0.2-7 MeV C^q＋ （q = 1 - 4） with He and 0.25-5 MeV O^q＋ （q = 1 - 4） with He collisions. For projectile single-electron loss channel, the He double-to-single ionization ratio R is nearly independent of projectile charge state but dependent on the nuclear charge of projectile Zp. The results are analysed with atomic structure qualitatively. So far there have not existed the experimental data comparable with our results, to our knowledge. The ratio R is interpreted in terms of the two-step mechanism. This analysis agrees well with similar experiments in the literature.     

Associated production of a neutral top-Higgs with a heavy-quark pair in the γγ collisions at ILC

We have studied the associated production processes of a neutral top-Higgs in the topcolor assisted technicolor model with a pair of heavy quarks in γγ collisions at the International Linear Collider （ILC）. We find that the cross section for ttht in γγ collisions is at the level of a few fb with the c.m. energy √s=1000 GeV, which is consistent with the results of the cross section of ttH in the standard model and the cross section of tth in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. It should be clear that hundreds of to thousands of ht per year can be produced at the ILC. This process of γγ→ttht is really interesting in testing the standard model and searching the signs of technicolor.
