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 \(R_{\mu ^ - e^ - }< 1.7 10^{ - 4} \) .     

Neutral strange particle exclusive production in charged current high-energy antineutrino interactions

The cross section of the quasi-elastic reactions \(\bar v_\mu p \to \mu ^ + \Lambda (\Sigma ^0 )\) in the energy range 5–100 GeV is determined from Fermilab 15′ bubble chamber antineutrino data. TheQ ² analysis of quasi-elastic Λ events yieldsM _A=1.0±0.3 GeV/c² for the axial mass value. With zero µΛ K ⁰ events observed, the 90% confidence level upper limit \(\sigma (\bar v_\mu p \to \mu ^ + \Lambda {\rm K}^0 )< 2.0 \cdot 10^{ - 40} cm^2 \) is obtained. At the same time, we found that the cross section of reaction \(\bar v_\mu p \to \mu ^ + \Lambda {\rm K}^0 + m\pi ^0 \) is equal to \(\left( {3.9\begin{array}{*{20}c} { + 1.6} \\ { - 1.3} \\ \end{array} } \right) \cdot 10^{ - 40} cm^2 \) .     

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.     

The factors that determine the temperature of fusion of Cu and Ni thin films on inert surfaces

A method for calculating the temperature of fusion of thin films depending on their thickness was suggested. It was shown for the example of copper and nickel films that the main factors that determined a substantial decrease in the temperature of fusion of thin films compared with massive materials were the different heats of fusion of thin films, the temperature dependence of the heat of fusion, and the tendency of thin-film systems toward decreasing the absolute surface energy at the expense of decreasing the specific surface energy and surface area. The dependences of the temperature of fusion on the thickness of copper and nickel films were calculated. Fusion and dispersion processes were studied as depending on nickel film thickness on the surfaces of Al₂O₃ and SiO₂. The calculation results obtained for copper and nickel were in close agreement with experimental data.     

Tracer study of complete oxidation complexes in the oxidative dehydrogenation of butylene

A tracer technique using divinyl-¹⁴C was used to determine the butylene and divinyl contents in the surface complexes of complete oxidation during the oxidative dehydrogenation of butylenes over Bi–Mo, Fe–Sb and Fe₂O₃ catalysts. The rate of decomposition of the surface complexes was found to be independent of their relative butylene and divinyl content.

The <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis> dependence of <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Superscript>0</Superscript> and Λ Neutrinoproduction on nuclei

The A dependence of the production of K ⁰ and Λ is investigated for the first time in neutrino-nuclear reactions using the data obtained with the SKAT bubble chamber. An exponential parametrization (∼A ^β) of the particle yields results in = 0.20 ± 0.05 for V ⁰ particles (K ⁰ and Λ), while for π ⁻ mesons the A dependence is much weaker ( = 0.068 ± 0.007). A nuclear enhancement of the ratio K ⁰/π ⁻ is found; this ratio increases from 0.055 ± 0.013 for vN interactions up to 0.070 ± 0.011 at A ≈ 21 and 0.099 ± 0.011 at A ≈ 45. It is observed that the multiplicity rise of V ⁰ occurs predominantly in the backward hemisphere of the hadronic system. It is shown that the A dependence of the Λ⁰ and π ⁻ yields can be reproduced in the framework of a model incorporating the secondary intranuclear interactions of pions originating from the primary vN interactions. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Neutral strange particle production in charged current νA-interactions in the energy range 3≦E ν≦30 GeV

For charged current neutrino nucleus interactions at energies below 30 GeV, resulting from an experiment with the freon filled bubble chamber SKAT,K ⁰ and Λ production is investigated. An estimation of the total strange and charm production cross section is made.K ⁰ and Λ production rates are given in dependence on different inclusive variables. The production properties forK ⁰′s and Λ′s are discussed in terms of the Quark-Parton-Model. Comparisons with other ν-experiments at higher energies are performed.

Kinetics of the melting-dispersion process in copper thin films

The kinetics of a melting-dispersion process in copper thin films is investigated at different thicknesses of the films. It is shown that the film initially melts in local regions and then the melting front propagates over the sample. Melting of copper thin films of the same thickness can occur within different time periods depending on the temperature (from almost instantaneous melting at higher temperatures to melting proceeding over the course of a few hours at lower temperatures). The dependence of the activation energy for the melting-dispersion process on the film thickness is determined and explained in terms of hydrodynamics. The mechanism of the melting-dispersion process is considered.
