Vector meson rescattering effect in understanding the threshold enhancement observed in J/ψ→γp(p)

We propose one possible mechanism,i.e.,the vector meson(VV)rescattering effects,to interpret the near threshold narrow enhancement observed in J/ψ→γp(p).The estimate indicates that these effects can give sizeable contributions to this channel,and a destructive interference between different rescattering amplitudes is required to reproduce the line shape of the data.     

Percolation Thresholds in Ternary Polymer Melt Blends with Separate Dispersions of the Inner Phases: Mathematical Model

A mathematical model based on a straightforward geometrical background is developed which enables predictions of a transition of one dispersed phase to a cocontinuous one (i.e., the percolation threshold) on addition of another dispersed phase during melt mixing in ternary polymer blends. The present work concerns only ternary blends with two separate dispersions of the inner phases in which no encapsulation takes place. In addition, in order to simplify the model, one of the inner phases was represented by hard, nondeformable microspheres The expression developed describes well an experimental relationship between the percolation threshold, the concentration above which the former dispersed phase transforms to a continuous one, and concentrations of both inner phases. The results agree well with the experimental data obtained in a previous work.     

Thermal impact on spiking properties in Hodgkin-Huxley neuron with synaptic stimulus

The effect of environmental temperature on neuronal spiking behaviors is investigated by numerically simulating the temperature dependence of spiking threshold of the Hodgkin-Huxley neuron subject to synaptic stimulus. We find that the spiking threshold exhibits a global minimum in a specific temperature range where spike initiation needs weakest synaptic strength, which form the engineering perspective indicates the occurrence of optimal use of synaptic transmission in the nervous system. We further explore the biophysical origin of this phenomenon associated with ion channel gating kinetics and also discuss its possible biological relevance in information processing in neuronal systems.      

A study of time over threshold (TOT) technique for plastic scintillator counter

A new charge measurement method, time over threshold (TOT), has been used in some gas detectors lately. Here TOT is studied for TOF system, made of plastic scintillator counter, which can simplify the electronics of the system. The signal characteristics are measured and analyzed with a high quality oscilloscope, including noise, pedestal, signal amplitude, total charge, rise time and the correlation between them. The TOT and charge are related and can be fitted by some empirical formula. The charge measurement resolution by TOT is given and this will help the design of TOF electronics.     

Enhanced spontaneous emission factor for microcavity lasers

The microcavity and the influence of nonradiative recombination can control spontaneous emission. An analytic resolution of rate equation is studied for microcavity lasers. The relationship between output prop- erties and structural parameters of multi-quantum wells (MQWs) is obtained. One of the most important consequences of the incrcased spontaneous emission factor is the reduction of laser threshold. It is found that the characteristic curve of a "thresholdless" laser is strongly nonradiative depopulation-dependent. The light output is increased by the enhanced well number and the reduced width. In particular, there is an optimal well number corresponding to the lowest threshold current density for MQW structure in the microcavity lasers.

Using stochastic optimization to determine threshold values for the control of unreliable manufacturing systems

A manufacturing system with two tandem machines producing one part type is considered in this work. The machines are unreliable, each having two states, up and down. Both surplus controls and Kanban systems are considered. Algorithms for approximating the optimal threshold values are developed. First, perturbation analysis techniques are employed to obtain consistent gradient estimates based on a single simulation run. Then, iterative algorithms of the stochastic optimization type are constructed. It is shown that the algorithms converge to the optimal threshold values in an appropriate sense. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the performance of the algorithms.The research of these authors was supported in part by grants from URIF, MRCO, National Science Foundation, and Wayne State University. The authors would like to thank Dr. X. R. Cao, Digital Equipment Corporation, for the valuable initial discussion and Dr. X. Y. Zhou, University of Toronto, for his helpful comments.     

Computer simulation of low-energy displacement events in pure HCP metals

Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations of low-energy atomic recoils have been carried out for α-Ti (HCP) with a view to investigating the displacement threshold energy, E_d, in detail. These have been undertaken at 0 K and 100 K, using a many-body interatomic potential modified to reflect the dominant two-body interaction at short range. This is the first systematic study of atomic displacement events in the HCP structure using such a potential. The mechanisms of these threshold events have been investigated and the strong orientation dependence of the threshold energy has been interpreted in terms of the HCP crystal structure. Also, a correlation has been found between the magnitude of the threshold displacement energy and the maximum number of atoms temporarily displaced into interstitial positions during a cascade.

Trends in microdisk laser research and linear optical modelling

Research into microdisk lasers demonstrates new achievements both in the technology and in the associated physical effects and applications. Melting and rounding of the disk edge boosts the Q-factors due to improved surface smoothness. In-plane cavity shape is widely used as a design instrument. Optimal shaping of pumped area lowers the threshold power. Photonic molecules made of several microdisks as “photonic atoms” show lasing at several closely spaced frequencies. A microdisk with a single quantum dot as an active region is considered as the most promising system for realisation of a single photon emitter necessary for quantum computing. These new effects and devices can be simulated with accurate numerical techniques, developed recently for “warm-cavity” linear modelling, that are able to bring a new vision of the physics of lasing.
