Empirical correction of crosstalk in a low-background germanium γ–γ analysis system

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is currently developing a custom software suite capable of automating many of the tasks required to accurately analyze coincident signals within gamma spectrometer arrays. During the course of this work, significant crosstalk was identified in the energy determination for spectra collected with a new low-background intrinsic germanium (HPGe) array at PNNL. The HPGe array is designed for high detection efficiency, ultra-low-background performance, and sensitive γ–γ coincidence detection. The first half of the array, a single cryostat containing seven HPGe crystals, was recently installed into a new shallow underground laboratory facility. This update will present a brief review of the germanium array, describe the observed crosstalk, and present a straight-forward empirical correction that significantly reduces the impact of this crosstalk on the spectroscopic performance of the system.     

Explicit Density Approximations for Local Volatility Models Using Heat Kernel Expansions

Heat kernel perturbation theory is a tool for constructing explicit approximation formulas for the solutions of linear parabolic equations. We review the crux of this perturbative formalism and then apply it to differential equations which govern the transition densities of several local volatility processes. In particular, we compute all the heat kernel coefficients for the CEV and quadratic local volatility models; in the later case, we are able to use these to construct an exact explicit formula for the processes’ transition density. We then derive low order approximation formulas for the cubic local volatility model, an affine-affine short rate model, and a generalized mean reverting CEV model. We finally demonstrate that the approximation formulas are accurate in certain model parameter regimes via comparison to Monte Carlo simulations.     

甘肃岷县不同生长年限当归药材的红外光谱分析

采用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)及其二阶导数谱对不同生长年限当归药材进行分析研究.结果表明,不同生长年限当归药材的红外图谱较为相似,仅从一维谱图上无法反映出不同生长年限当归药材的红外特征谱明显的异同,但通过二阶导数图谱中1771、1747、1712、1559、1514、1466、766、711cm-1和668cm-1处的峰型差异可发现不同生长年限当归药材之间的一些成分存在较明显的差异.由于生长时间不同,导致它们的化学成分存在差异,所以体现了各自的红外特征谱,其中第三年当归药材与第一年和第二年当归药材间差异较大.     

General Formulations of Finite-field Method Classified by Symmetry for Molecular Linear and Nonlinear Polarizabilities

1 INTRODUCTIONWith the invention of lasers[1] and the observation of second-harmonic generation in quartz[2], nonlinear optics(NLO), as a cornerstone of photonics, has been booming since 1960's. And intense interest has been aroused to search materials exhibiting appropriate nonlinear optical properties suitable for the construction of practical optical devices for the important techniques such as frequency converting, signal processing and optical computing[3～6].

高能核碰撞中带电多重数快度与能量和中心度的关系

用强子–弦级联模型JPCIAE及相应的Monte Carlo事例产生器研究相对论性核–核碰撞中带电粒子多重数的赝快度密度对能量和中心度的依赖关系.无需另调任何模型参数的条件下,此模型可以同时较好地描述相对论性pp实验数据及PHOBOS和PHENIX实验组的Au+Au实验数据.本文指出:因〈N_part〉并非严格定义的物理量,致使实验上和理论上确定〈N_part〉有一定任意性,从而使得每参加者核子对的带电粒子赝快度密度随着〈N_part〉的增加可能逐渐增大,也可能逐渐减小,因此用它来区分粒子产生机制是欠妥的.     

A comparative investigation of the fatty acid compositions of the seeds of a number of lines of a genetic collection of Gossypium hirsutum

A comparative analysis has been made of the amounts of lipids and their fatty-acid compositions in the seeds of the lines of agenetic collection of cotton plants of the speciesGossypium hirsutum and their hybrids and the variety Tashkent-1. The results obtained on the fatty-acid compositions of some hybrids make it possible to recommend the use of individual lines of cotton plants as donors for improving the food-value indices of cottonseed oil.Institute of Chemsitry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.
