Time resolution of the bunch-shape detector with a thin-wire emission target

The time resolution of a new bunch-length detector based on the radio frequency (RF) scanning of the produced secondary electrons is calculated. A dedicated Monte-Carlo code by means of SIMION software is developed for accurate simulation of spread in the investigated secondary electrons transit times and image width. In calculation the initial energy distribution of electrons and the actual structure of accelerating and focusing electric fields were considered. It is shown that by using a thin-wire emission target a femtosecond time precision could be achieved using moderate applied voltages.     

Tetrachloroferrate (III) Salts of BDH-TTP [2,5-Bis(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene] and BDA-TTP [2,5-Bis(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene]: Crystal Structures and Physical Properties

Three FeCl₄ salts based on non-tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) donors, 2,5-bis(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene (BDH-TTP) and 2,5-bis(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene (BDA-TTP), have been prepared and characterized as κ-(BDH-TTP)₂FeCl₄, β-(BDA-TTP)₂FeCl₄, and (BDA-TTP)₃FeCl₄ · PhCl. The κ-(BDH-TTP)₂FeCl₄ salt, with a room-temperature conductivity (σ_rt) of 39 S cm⁻¹, is metallic down to 1.5 K, and its magnetic susceptibility obeys the Curie-Weiss law with a Curie constant (C) of 4.25 emu K mol⁻¹ and a Weiss constant (θ) of 0.041 K. β-(BDA-TTP)₂FeCl₄ exhibits metallic behavior (σ_rt=9.4 S cm⁻¹) with a sharp metal-to-insulator (MI) transition (T_MI=113 K) and antiferromagnetic ordering with the Néel temperature of near 8.5 K, whereas the solvated (BDA-TTP)₃FeCl₄ · PhCl salt is a semiconductor with a thermal activation energy of 0.11 eV (σ_rt=2.0× 10⁻² S cm⁻¹) and exhibits Curie-Weiss behavior (C=4.42 emu K mol⁻¹, θ=−0.35 K).

 在激光能量130 mJ（靶面），脉宽60 fs，波长800 nm，对比度1∶10^-6，激光与靶法线成45°夹角，P偏振，靶面激光峰值功率密度约为7.0×10¹⁷ W·cm^-2，无预脉冲的条件下，采用电子谱仪与经γ标准源标定的LiF热释光探测器（TLD）相配合，测量了飞秒激光-薄膜靶相互作用中产生的超热电子能谱。根据所测的能谱，推算出超热电子的产额和激光能量转化为超热电子能量的效率，在靶法线方向分别为1.19×10¹⁰/sr和4.55%/sr，在激光反射方向分别为1.83×10⁹/sr和0.76%/sr。结果显示，不同方向的超热电子产额和激光转化效率有所不同，原因在于激光-等离子体相互作用产生的超热电子构成各向异性的分布。

Comparison of shear banding in BMGs due to thermal-softening and free volume creation

This paper reports a comparative study of shear banding in BMGs resulting from thermal softening and free volume creation. Firstly, the effects of thermal softening and free volume creation on shear instability are discussed. It is known that thermal softening governs thermal shear banding, hence it is essentially energy related. However, compound free volume creation is the key factor to the other instability, though void-induced softening seems to be the counterpart of thermal softening. So, the driving force for shear instability owing to free volume creation is very different from the thermally assisted one. In particular, long wave perturbations are always unstable owing to compound free volume creation. Therefore, the shear instability resulting from coupled compound free volume creation and thermal softening may start more like that due to free volume creation. Also, the compound free volume creation implies a specific and intrinsic characteristic growth time of shear instability. Finally, the mature shear band width is governed by the corresponding diffusions (thermal or void diffusion) within the band. As a rough guide, the dimensionless numbers: Thermal softening related number B, Deborah number (denoting the relation of instability growth rate owing to compound free volume and loading time) and Lewis number (denoting the competition of different diffusions) show us their relative importance of thermal softening and free volume creation in shear banding. All these results are of particular significance in understanding the mechanism of shear banding in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs).

Fast helium production in interactions of 3.7 A GeV <Superscript>24</Superscript>Mg with emulsion nuclei

We have studied the properties of the relativistic helium fragments emitted from the projectile in the interactions of ²⁴Mg ions accelerated at an energy of 3.7 A GeV with emulsion nuclei. The total, partial nuclear cross-sections and production rates of helium fragmentation channels in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions and their dependence on the mass and energy of the incident projectile nucleus are investigated. The yields of multiple helium projectile fragments disrupted from the interactions of ²⁴Mg projectile nuclei with hydrogen H, light CNO and heavy AgBr groups of target emulsion nuclei are discussed and they indicate that the breakup mechanism of the projectile seems to be independent of the target mass. Limiting fragmentation behavior of fast-moving helium fragments is observed in both the projectile and target nuclei. The multiplicity distributions of helium projectile fragments emitted in the interactions of ²⁴Mg projectile nuclei with the different target nuclei of the emulsion are well described by the KNO scaling presentation. The mean multiplicities of the different charged secondary particles, normally defined shower, grey and black ( n_s, n_g and n_b) emitted in the interactions of 3.7 A GeV ²⁴Mg with the different groups of emulsion nuclei at different ranges of projectile fragments are decreasing when the number of He fragments stripped from projectile increases. These values of n_i ( i = s, g, b and h particles) in the events where the emission of fast helium fragments were accompanied by heavy fragments having Z 3 seem to be constant as the He multiplicity increases, and exhibit a behavior independent of the He multiplicity.     

Beta-decay of 71Co and 73Co

A decay spectroscopy study of the neutron-rich cobalt isotopes has been performed using fragmentation of a ⁸⁶Kr³⁶⁺ beam and the new LISE2000 spectrometer at GANIL. For ⁷¹Co and ⁷³Co, the -delayed radiation has been observed for the first time, and the half-lives were found to be 79(5) ms and 41(4) ms, respectively. Features of the decay are discussed qualitatively in terms of nuclear models.
