Einstein gravity on the codimension 2 brane?

We look at general brane worlds in six-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We find the general matching conditions for the brane world, which remarkably give precisely the four-dimensional Einstein equations for the brane, even when the extra dimensions are noncompact and have infinite volume. Relaxing regularity of the curvature in the vicinity of the brane, or having a thick brane, gives rise to an additional term containing information on the brane's embedding in the bulk. We comment on the relevance of these results to a possible solution of the cosmological constant problem.

It also presents the status of the power suppIy system in HL-2A experimental operation and foresees the power and energy requirements for new power supply system at HL-2M device.     

Fast Bolometer Arrays on the HL-2A Tokamak

Bolometers are considered to be a standard diagnostic for fusion experiments, mainly for measuring the total radiated power and spatial profiles of the local radiation power density. New design and the first result are presented from three AXUV arrays with high temporal resolution installed on the HL-2A tokamak. This high temporal resolution allows the study of transient radiative phenomena.     

Pellet Enhanced Performance on the HL-2A Tokamak

Enhanced confinement has been achieved by the centre fuelling of pellet injection on the HL-2A tokamak. The energy confinement time increases from 50ms to 140ms after the pellet injection. Experimental results show that the improvement of the confinement is related to the decrease of the electron heat transport. Several phenomena which may lead to the improved confinement have been observed in the experiments. After the pellet injection the hollow electron temperature profile and the peaked electron density profile can be sustained for about 200ms, but the improved confinement remains at about 500ms. Sawtooth features and MHD modes have been observed by soft x-ray array and the Mirnov probes. The weak （or reversed） magnetic shear is thought to be an important cause of the low electron heat transport.     

Monopoles on the Bryant–Salamon G2-manifolds

$G_2$-monopoles are solutions to gauge theoretical equations on noncompact $7$-manifolds of $G_2$ holonomy. We shall study this equation on the $3$ Bryant–Salamon manifolds. We construct examples of $G_2$-monopoles on two of these manifolds, namely the total space of the bundle of anti-self-dual two forms over the ${\mathbb{S}}^4$ and ${\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}}^2$. These are the first nontrivial examples of $G_2$-monopoles.Associated with each monopole there is a parameter $m\in {\mathbb{R}}^{+}$, known as the mass of the monopole. We prove that under a symmetry assumption, for each given $m\in {\mathbb{R}}^{+}$ there is a unique monopole with mass $m$. We also find explicit irreducible $G_2$-instantons on ${\Lambda }_{-}^2\left({\mathbb{S}}^4\right)$ and on ${\Lambda }_{-}^2\left({\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}}^2\right)$.The third Bryant–Salamon $G_2$-metric lives on the spinor bundle over the $3$-sphere. In this case we produce a vanishing theorem for monopoles.     

Control of LHCD on the HL-2A Tokamak

in order to study non-indutive plasma current production, the lower hybrid current drive（LHCD） experiment on the HL-2A tokamak is carried out. Simultaneously a microcomputer has been used to control the whole LHCD system. During the experiment this year, we can monitor and protect the LHCD system by use of the microcomputer control system, which will imediately switch off the microwave power to be launched into the tokamak if the plasma is disrupted. All this ensure that the microwave is injected into the equipment correctly.     

Study on the delamination of tungsten thin films on Sb2Te3

To investigate the reliability of electrode materials for chalcogenide random access memory （C-RAM） applications, the geometry and time evolution of the worm-like delamination patterns on a tungsten/Sb2Te3 bilayer system surface are observed by field emission scanning electronic microscope （FESEM） and optical microscopy. The tungsten film stress and interface toughness are estimated using a straight-side model. After confirming the instability of this system being due to large compressive stress stored in the tungsten film and relative poor interface adhesion, a preliminary solution as the inset of a TiN adhesion layer is presented to improve the system performances.     

Preliminary Design of the Data Processing Program on the HL-2A Tokamak

In this paper, by means of the two program tools, C Builder and Matlab, the preliminary design of the data processing for experiment on the HL-2A tokamak is described. The software of data processing includes two parts: common processing software and advanced processing software.     

Study of the Protection System for LHCD on the HL-2A Tokamak

LHCD experiment has been carried through in HL-1M tokamak since 1995, and the work is successful. This years the LHCD experiment would go ahead on the HL-2A tokamak that had been improved from HL-1M system.     

The Pellet Enhanced Performance on the HL-2A Tokamak

Improved confinement during the fuelling is one of the most important subjects for the tokamak research. Experiments have confirmed that anomalous transport is caused by turbulences driven by temperature and density gradient in plasma. Pellet injection is not only an important fuelling method, but also is an efficient tool for controlling the plasma pressure and current profile. The improved energy confinement has been observed in many tokamaks with center pellet injection since 1980＇s.     

The Analysis and Calculation on ECRH Anode Circuit on the HL-2A Tokamak

In the last year, ECRH system has been built in the HL-2A and the testing of gyrotron is also finished. In the project testing, one of the problems is current-peak occurring in the anode circuit of gyrotron. The current-peak is much larger than that of the value set in protection circuit. The frequent current-peak frequently occurring in the rising of anode-voltage often caused the protection circuit to mistaken trigger. The mistaken triggering often halted the normal gyrotron-testing. A set of equations of anode circuit are derived for analysis the phenomena of the current-peak. The calculation based on the deduced formula shows that value of the current-peak strongly depends on the inductance L, capacitance C and the ramp-time of anode voltage in the anode circuit. The conductance L and capacitance C are the characteristic inductance and capacitance of the cable that is used for anode HV power supply. The numerical calculation is exactly consistent with waveform of the current peak recorded by oscillograph, that means the derived formula are correct. In order to decrease the value of the current-peak, we should decrease capacitance C, and increase inductance L and ramp-time of anode voltage.     

Influence of the reagent vibration on the stereo-dynamics of the reactions D^- ＋ H2 and H^- ＋ D2

Employing the quasi-classical trajectory method and the potential energy surface of Panda and Sathyamurhy [Panda A N and Sathyamurthy N 2004 J.Chem.Phys.121 9343],the effect of the reagent vibration on vector correlation of the ion-molecule reactions D～-+H₂ and H～-+D₂ is studied at a collision energy of 35.7 kcal/mol.Four generalized polarization-dependent differential cross sections （2π/σ）（dσ 00 /dωt）,（2π/σ）（dσ 20 /dωt）,（2π/σ）（dσ 22+ /dωt）,and （2π/σ）（dσ 21 /dωt） are presented in the centre-of-mass reference frame,separately.At the same time,the effects on the product angular distributions P （θr）,P （φr） and P （θr,φr） of the title reactions are also analysed.The calculated results show that the scattering tendencies of the product HD,the alignment and the orientation of j sensitively depend on reagent molecule vibration.     

Multi-Channel FIR Laser Interferometer on the HL-2A Tokamak

In recent years, the high density plasma in the range of 10^19～ 10^20m^-3 have been operated in large or middle tokamak device in the world. A muhichannel far infrared interferometer for profile measurement of plasma density on HL-2A divertor tokamak is being developed, however the design of the interferometer will appear many new problem in face of experimental environment of the HL-2A divertor device, such as how to make both transmission and arrangement of optics of the interferometer, the effect of electromo- tive force on device and how about the vibration etc. According to the eight windows setting on the largest flange of the device we have to design a Michelson-type FIR laser interferometer with 8 probing channels and eight concave mirrors must be attached it to the inner wall of the vacuum vessel of the device. Therefore, there are many problems should be taken into account to resolve, for example, （ 1 ） the vibration-proof consider for muhichannel interferometer and HCN laser, （2） the stabilization and reliability of the mirror frame uum vessel, the mirrors, hanging on internal wall of vachow to prevent the sputtering to （3） the vacuum seal of the windows and the design of mobile seal for the shutter to avoid the sputter coating of plasma,

Elasticity of the B2 phase and the effect of the B1–B2 phase transition on the elasticity of MgO

A study of the high-pressure anisotropy of MgO was conducted using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximations. The pressure dependence of the elastic stiffness coefficients and the anisotropy parameters, in both B1 and B2 phases, shows that for high-hydrostatic compression the easiest deformation is the shear along (100) plane and the the material's response to deformation and to shearing strains is quite the same. According to the calculations of the velocities of propagation of elastic waves, we deduced that MgO develop an elastic anisotropy, especially, in the B1 phase. We present the B2 phase elastic properties which are not already studied under high pressure.     

New results on the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon g－2

Results on the lowest-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly are presented. They are based on the latest published experimental data used as input to the dispersion integral. Thus recent results on τ→υτππ^0 decays from Belle and on e^＋e^- annihilation to π^＋π^- from BABAR and KLOE are included. The new data, together with improved isospin-breaking corrections for τ decays, result into a much better consistency among the different results. A discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction and the direct g- 2 measurement is found at the level of 3σ.     

Study on the optical properties of PPV／TiO2 nanocomposites

The optical properties of poly(Phenylenevinylene)(PPV)/TiO2 nanocomposites,prepared via the sol-gel process,were investigated by UV-VIS,FT-IR,FL spectroscopy and TEM.TEM images indicated that the surfaces of TiO2 nanoparticles became rough,and finally formed the connected network as the TiO2 content increased.FT-IR spectra showed the titanium butoxide hydrolyzed to from Ti organic compound,which can result in the connected network of TiO2 nanoarticles.The conjugation of PPV polymer chains can be interrupted by the TiO2 network structure,as evdenced in UV-VIS spectra.The investigation of the PL spectra revealed that the emitted light of the PPV/TiO2 nanocoposites blue shifted wihout fine structure,and the PL intensity enhanced,when the TiO2 net work fromed.These phenomena suggested that the optical properties of the PPV/TiO2 nanocomposites were dependent on the interfacial structure between PPV and TiO2 nanoparticles.2001 Elsevier Science B.V.All rights reserved.
