Quasielastic nucleon and hyperon production by neutrinos and antineutrinos with energies below 30 GeV

The cross sections of neutrino and antineutrino quasielastic reactions \(vn \to \mu ^ - p,\bar vp \to \mu ^ + n,\bar vp \to \mu ^ + \Lambda\) were studied in the neutrino energy range between 3 and 30 GeV. In comparison withV-A theory axial mass parameters ofM _A =(1.06±0.05±0.14) GeV/c² from neutrino andM _A =(0.71±0.10±0.20) GeV/c² from antineutrino data were found. The total cross-section for the hyperon production process can be described byM _A =1.0 GeV/c².     

Final results on μe-pair production in neutrino interactions in the SKAT freon bubble chamber experiment

We present the final results from the search for μe pairs produced in neutrino interactions using the freon filled bubble chamber SKAT. The rate of μ^? e ⁺ pairs to charged current events above the charm threshold is \(R_{\mu ^ - e^ + } = (4.8 \pm 1.1)10^{ - 3} \) . Assuming charm particle production to be the origin of the positron we calculate \(R_{\Lambda _c^ + } = (6.2 \pm 3.1)10^{ - 2} \) andR _D =(2.8±0.9)10^?2. We observe no considerable μ^? e ^? pair production above the background. In the regionE _v >3 GeV,p _μ,e >1.0 GeV/c andp _μ>p _e we find with a 90% confidence level the limit \(R_{\mu ^ - e^ - }< 1.7 10^{ - 4} \) .     

Electron emission from Al,Pt, Ag,and Au surfaces under the action of resonant photons with λ=2537 and 1850 Å

An original variant of an electronic device is described, which can be used for gamma-process selection under ionized gas conditions. The device is based on a Hanley and Schaffernicht electron gun. Selection of photons and metastable atoms is performed by a quartz tube located in axial symmetry with the primary electron gun. The desired signal is measured from the flow of secondary electrons emitted from Al, Pt, Ag, and Au surfaces under the action of resonant photons radiated from the levels Hg(6³P₁) and Hg(6¹P₁). For =2537 Å the following values were obtained for _ph 9.1, 3.8, 1.1, 0.25. Analogous values of _ph for =1850 Å were equal to 45.5, 10.8, 6.5, 3.2. The _ph values are in units of 10^–4.Translated from Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 68–74, December, 1987.     

Diffractive production of charmed strange mesons by neutrinos and antineutrinos

The diffractive production of charmed strangeD _s ^* and possiblyD _s mesons by neutrinos and antineutrinos on nucleons in hydrogen, deuterium and neon targets is observed. The slope parameter of thet distribution is 3.3±0.8 (GeV)^?2. The production rate per charged current neutrino interaction with an isoscalar target times the D _s ⁺ →φτ⁺ branching fraction is (1.03±0.27)×10^?4.     

Properties of multiplicity distributions in νA and\bar v A intersections atE_{\begin{array}{*{20}c} {( - )} \\ v \\ \end{array} }< 30GeV

We present data on the multiplicity structure of inclusive charged hadron production in charged current neutrino and antineutrino freon interactions in the energy range 3–30 GeV resulting from an experiment with the bubble chamber SKAT. Average multiplicities, dispersions and correlation coefficients are investigated. Furthermore, KNO-scaling is studied and average net charges are calculated in different kinematical regions. Our data are compared with results from \(\begin{array}{*{20}c} {( - )} \\ v \\ \end{array} \) -interactions on an isoscalar target of “free” nucleons to study the influence of nuclear effects.     

Reaction of substituted spiro[1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-2,3′-(1′-pyrazolines)] with chlorinating reagents

In reaction of 4′-arylspiro[1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-2,3′-(1′-pyrazolin)]-1-ones with N-chlorosuccinimide formed spirocyclic substituted 3-chloro-1-pyrazolines that lost nitrogen at heating transforming into spirocyclic chlorocyclopropanes. The reaction of the same pyrazolines with chlorine led to the formation of spirocyclic gem-dichlorocyclopropanes.     

Two-Laser Thermal Lens Spectrometry with Signal Back-Synchronization

A two-laser dual-beam thermal lens spectrometer based on continuous-wave lasers, which implements the mode with signal back-synchronization, is developed with the aim to develop instrumentation for thermal lens spectrometry. This mode offers a potentially higher sensitivity of measurements in comparison with the lock-in mode of thermal lens measurements and variation of conditions depending on the measurement medium (solvent, or dispersed system, or solids). The wider possibilities of the back-synchronization mode in thermal lens spectrometry both for solving problems of chemical analysis and in some related fields are shown.
