An improved evaluation of the neutron background in the PandaX-Ⅱ experiment

In dark matter direct detection experiments,neutron is a serious source of background,which can mimic the dark matter-nucleus scattering signals.In this paper,we present an improved evaluation of the neutron background in the PandaX-II dark matter experiment by a novel approach.Instead of fully relying on the Monte Carlo simulation,the overall neutron background is determined from the neutron-induced high energy signals in the data.In addition,the probability of producing a dark-matter-like background per neutron is evaluated with a complete Monte Carlo generator,where the correlated emission of neutron(s)andγ(s)in the(α,n)reactions and spontaneous fissions is taken into consideration.With this method,the neutron backgrounds in the Run 9(26-ton-day)and Run 10(28-ton-day)data sets of PandaX-II are estimated to be(0.66±0.24)and(0.47±0.25)events,respectively.     

关于辛算法稳定性的若干注记

我们讨论辛算法的线性稳定性和非线性稳定性，从动力系统和计算的角度论述了研究辛算法的这两类稳定性问题的重要性，分析总结了相关重要结果.我们给出了解析方法的明确定义，证明了稳定函数是亚纯函数的解析辛方法是绝对线性稳定的.绝对线性稳定的辛方法既有解析方法（如Runge-Kutta辛方法），也有非解析方法（如基于常数变易公式对线性部分进行指数积分而对非线性部分使用其它数值积分的方法）.我们特别回顾并讨论了R.I.McLachlan，S.K.Gray和S.Blanes，F.Casas，A.Murua等关于分裂算法的线性稳定性结果，如通过选取适当的稳定多项式函数构造具有最优线性稳定性的任意高阶分裂辛算法和高效共轭校正辛算法，这类经优化后的方法应用于诸如高振荡系统和波动方程等线性方程或者线性主导的弱非线性方程具有良好的数值稳定性.我们通过分析辛算法在保持椭圆平衡点的稳定性，能量面的指数长时间慢扩散和KAM不变环面的保持等三个方面阐述了辛算法的非线性稳定性，总结了相关已有结果.最后在向后误差分析基础上，基于一个自由度的非线性振子和同宿轨分析法讨论了辛算法的非线性稳定性，提出了一个新的非线性稳定性概念，目的是为辛算法提供一个实际可用的非线性稳定性判别法.     

运用三维离散元技术模拟落锤撞击下奥克托今颗粒的点火燃烧过程

炸药颗粒的点火燃烧过程一直是人们关注的热点问题。近年来，三维离散元技术在中尺度观测颗粒材料的动力学过程中拥有显著优势。炸药燃烧属于颗粒材料的反应动力学，运用三维离散元技术(DM3)可以有效地观测炸药燃烧传播的过程。以奥克托今(HMX)颗粒为例，本文成功模拟并观测到了HMX颗粒的燃烧反应程度，确定了颗粒开始燃烧反应的时间，以及燃烧反应传播的时间。同时，结合落锤冲击颗粒的三维图像以及其表观压强和放热功率，得到了HMX颗粒燃烧反应、燃烧传播的整个反应动力学过程，包括颗粒在冲击加载下碎化塑性变形的过程，颗粒燃烧反应放热的过程，落锤回弹颗粒喷射的过程等。同时，进一步说明了尖顶颗粒更利于颗粒点火，平顶颗粒有抑制颗粒点火的能力。     

Supercubooctahedron (Cs6Cl)2Cs5[Ga15Ge9Se48] Exhibiting Both Cation and Anion Exchange

A novel type of supertetrahedral connectivity is exhibited by the 72‐atom discrete supercubooctahedron in (Cs₆Cl)₂Cs₅[Ga₁₅Ge₉Se₄₈] ( 1 ), which undergoes both cation and anion exchange, as revealed by unambiguous single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data. Electronic‐structure studies helped to understand the Ge/Ga distribution.     

Positive ground state solutions for Schrödinger–Poisson system with critical nonlocal term in ℝ3

This paper is dedicated to studying the following Schrödinger–Poisson system $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-\mathrm{\Delta }u+V(x)u-K(x)\varphi |u{|}^{3}u=a(x)f(u),& x\in {ℝ}^3,\\ -\mathrm{\Delta }\varphi =K(x)|u{|}^5,& x\in {ℝ}^3.\end{array}\right.$$ Under some different assumptions on functions V(x), K(x), a(x) and f(u), by using the variational approach, we establish the existence of positive ground state solutions.     

The High Energy X-ray telescope (HE) onboard the Insight-HXMT astronomy satellite

The Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope(Insight-HXMT) is a broadband X-ray and γ-ray(1-3000 ke V) astronomy satellite. One of its three main telescopes is the High Energy X-ray telescope(HE). The main detector plane of HE comprises 18 Na I(Tl)/Cs I(Na) phoswich detectors, where Na I(Tl) is used as the primary detector to measure ~ 20-250 ke V photons incident from the field of view(FOV) defined by collimators, and Cs I(Na) is used as the active shielding detector to Na I(Tl) by pulse shape discrimination. Additionally, Cs I(Na) is used as an omnidirectional γ-ray monitor. The HE collimators have a diverse FOV,i.e. 1.1°×5.7°(15 units), 5.7°×5.7°(2 units), and blocked(1 unit). Therefore, the combined FOV of HE is approximately5.7°×5.7°. Each HE detector has a diameter of 190 mm resulting in a total geometrical area of approximately 5100 cm2, and the energy resolution is ~15% at 60 ke V. For each recorded X-ray event by HE, the timing accuracy is less than 10 μs and the deadtime is less than 10 μs. HE is used for observing spectra and temporal variability of X-ray sources in the 20-250 ke V band either by pointing observations for known sources or scanning observations to unveil new sources. Additionally, HE is used for monitoring the γ-ray burst in 0.2-3 Me V band. This paper not only presents the design and performance of HE instruments but also reports results of the on-ground calibration experiments.     

A low-temperature electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries

In this paper, the electrochemical performance of a new low-temperature electrolyte, 0.9 mol L^?1 lithium oxalyldifluoroborate (LiODFB)/LiBF₄ (5.365:1, by mass) mixed salts in the ethylene carbonate (EC)/dimethyl sulfite (DMS)/ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) mixed solvent (1:1:3, by volume, the same below), is studied to seek the promising candidate for advanced low-temperature lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The results show that LIBs using this new electrolyte can be operable well at temperature below ?20 °C. This is useful to expand the application range of LIBs, especially at specific low-temperature environments, such as military and aerospace applications.
