Rotational analysis of the v 2 + v 6 ±1, v 5 ∓1 + v 6 ∓1 and v 5 ∓1 + v 6 ±1 interacting infrared bands of methyl bromide

The rotational analysis of the infrared absorption spectrum of CH₃ ⁷⁹Br and CH₃ ⁸¹Br between 2150 and 2510 cm^-1 was performed on a Fourier transform spectrum with a resolution of 0·007 cm^-1. The bands v ₂ + v ₆(E) and v ₅ + v ₆(A ₁ + A ₂ + E) occur in this region, giving rise to several perturbations as in the corresponding system of methyl chloride [3]. Forbidden transitions, observed in correspondence of the level crossing of the x-y Coriolis coupling between v ₂ + v ₆ and v ₅ + v ₆(E), enabled us to estimate the value of A″ - 225D″_K at 5·16186 cm^-1 for CH₃ ⁷⁹Br and 5·16173 cm^-1 for CH₃ ⁸¹Br. The parallel system of v ₅ + v ₆ exhibits a perpendicular structure, and an l-type resonance couples those levels of the parallel and perpendicular components of v ₅ + v ₆ involved in transitions from the K″ = 0 levels of the ground state. The ^QQ ₀ branches of the A ₂ component of v ₅ + v ₆, made active by this resonance, are observed for both isotopic species.     

Observation of the v′=8←v=0 vibrational overtone in cold trapped HD+

We report the observation of the hitherto undetected v′=8←v=0 vibrational overtone in trapped HD⁺ molecular ions, sympathetically cooled by laser-cooled Be⁺ ions. The overtone is excited using 782 nm laser radiation, after which HD⁺ ions in v=8 are photodissociated by the 313 nm laser used for Be⁺ cooling. The concomitant loss of HD⁺ is detected by the method of secular excitation (Roth et al. in Phys. Rev. A. 74:040501(R), 2006). We furthermore present details of the experimental setup, and we show that results from spectroscopy of v′=8←v=0 overtones in combination with accurate ab initio calculations may yield a new value for the proton–electron mass ratio with an accuracy of order 1 ppb.     

Search for the decay τ− → vτηπ−

We have searched for the decay τ⁻ → v_τηπ⁻ using data accumulated by the ARGUS detector at the e⁺e⁻ storage ring DORIS II at DESY. No η signal was found in the π⁺π⁻π⁰ subsystems of the decay τ⁻ →v_τπ⁻π⁻π⁺ π⁰. We obtain an upper limit for the branching ratio of the decay τ⁻ → v_τηπ⁻ of 1.3% at the 95% confidence level.     

Recent progress with the CO-overtone Δv=2 laser

We report the recent progress in the performance of the CO-overtone v=2 laser. We were able to increase both the number of lines and the output power by a significant amount. This laser is now a reliable source for spectroscopic applications in the spectral region from 2500–3800 cm^–1. The typical parameters of the laser plasma and a table with the observed laser transitions and their frequencies are given.     

New half life limits for theβ β 2v+0v decay of76Ge to the excited states of76Se from the Heidelberg-Moscow ββ experiment

Half life limits for theββ _2v+0v decay of⁷⁶Ge to excited states of⁷⁶Se are deduced from the background spectrum of a passive shielding of zone refined germanium (139.5 kg). A special low-activity HPGe-detector (102 ccm) was mounted inside this shielding to search for the transition photons emitted in the decay of the excited states. The resulting limits for the (0⁺→2 ₁ ⁺ and the (0⁺→0 ₁ ⁺ ) transition are 6.3·10²⁰ y (68%cl).     

Relative probabilities of spontaneous transitions in v″ progressions of the G1Σ g + , v′→B 1Σ u + , v″ bands of the H2 molecule

The probabilities of spontaneous transitions in v″ progressions of the G ¹Σ _g ⁺ →B ¹Σ _u ⁺ bands of the H₂ molecule (the 3D→2B electronic transition in notations of G.H. Dieke) are, for the first time, experimentally studied. The line strength ratios were measured for 78 G ¹Σ _g ⁺ , v′, J′→B ¹Σ _u ⁺ , v″, J″ electronic-vibrational-rotational spectral lines having a common upper level but belonging to different bands of v″ progressions (the vibrational branching coefficients). For this purpose, the intensities of lines of the P and R branches, emitted by a low-pressure plasma and corresponding to different values of the rotational (J′=0–11) and vibrational (v′=0–3 and v″=0–7) quantum numbers, were used. It was found that the changes in the vibrational branching coefficients with variation of v′ and v″ are significant (up to a factor of 20). For most bands studied, the dependences of the vibrational branching coefficients on the rotational quantum number J′ of an upper level are rather weak and do not exceed 30%. It was established that the difference between the experimental values of ratios of the vibronic transition probabilities (summed over J″) and the results of calculation in the adiabatic approximation strongly depends on v′, reaching a factor of 25 for a transition from the v′=2 level. At the same time, the discrepancy between the experimental data and the results of nonadiabatic ab initio calculations lies between 1.0 and 2.3.     

Isotope dependent predissociation in the C 1 Σ + , v =0 and v =1 states of CO

Rotationally resolved spectral lines in the C - X (1, 0) band of carbon monoxide are investigated under high resolution using a coherent vacuum ultraviolet laser source, continuously tunable near 107 nm. Transition frequencies are determined by calibrating against a reference standard of iodine lines, recorded with saturation spectroscopy in the visible range, yielding an absolute accuracy of 0.003 cm^-1 in the vacuum ultraviolet. Improved molecular constants for the excited state are derived and no effects of perturbation are found at the present level of accuracy. Line broadening measurements result in information on the excited state lifetime of the C ¹ Σ ⁺ , v = 1 state for five natural isotopomers of carbon monoxide: τ( ¹² C ¹⁷ O ) = 280 ps, τ( ¹² C ¹⁸ O ) = 210 ps, τ( ¹³ C ¹⁶ O ) = 295 ps, τ( ¹³ C ¹⁷ O ) = 160 ps, and τ( ¹³ C ¹⁸ O ) = 150 ps. Within the accuracy of the present measurements no effects of J-dependent lifetimes were observed, for neither of the isotopomers. In addition direct time domain measurements of the lifetime of the C ¹ Σ ⁺ , v = 0 and v = 1 states of the main isotopomer are performed in a pump-probe experiment using a picosecond VUV-laser, yielding τ( ¹² C ¹⁶ O ) = 1780 ps for v = 0 and τ( ¹² C ¹⁶ O ) = 625 ps for v = 1. For C ¹ Σ ⁺ , v = 0 in ¹²C¹⁶O and ¹³C¹⁶O the same lifetime is found; this lifetime matches experimental values of the oscillator strength and hence supports previous results showing pure radiative decay in this state; the error margins however do not exclude some low level of predissociation. The measurements indicate that the C ¹ Σ ⁺ , v = 0 state of the ¹³C¹⁸O isotopomer is predissociated with an estimated yield of 17% (i.e. above the level of predissociation for ¹²C¹⁶O.) From the combined data predissociation yields upon excitation of the C ¹ Σ ⁺ , v = 1 state are derived, lying in the range 0.84-0.91 for the five less abundant isotopomers; for the main ¹²C¹⁶O isotopomer a strongly deviating predissociation yield of 0.65 is deduced.

High-resolution spectroscopy of the v2 = 2 a ← v2 = 1 s band of 14NH3

Twenty-one transitions of the v₂ = 2 a ← v₂ = 1 s hot band of ¹⁴NH₃ have been observed by an infrared microwave sideband laser spectrometer with an absolute accuracy of 0.00002 cm⁻¹. One hundred and seventeen transitions of the band have been obtained by a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer at a resolution of 0.005 cm⁻¹. A weighted least-squares analysis of these data has been carried out to yield 17 molecular parameters for the v₂ = 2 a state. These parameters reproduce the experimental frequencies with a root mean square deviation of 0.000123 cm⁻¹. To calculate the frequencies to this accuracy it was necessary to take into account the Δ(K − l) = ±3 interaction between the v₂ = 2 a and v₄ = 1 a states.     

High-resolution spectroscopy of the v2 = 2 a ← v2 = 1 s band of 15NH3

Twenty-four transitions of the v₂ = 2 a ← v₂ = 1 s hot band of ¹⁵NH₃ have been observed by an infrared microwave sideband laser spectrometer. In addition, 149 transitions of the band have been obtained by a Fourier transform spectrometer at a resolution of 0.02 cm⁻¹. A weighted least-squares analysis has been carried out and the rms deviation of the fit is 0.00097 cm⁻¹. It was necessary to include the Δ(K − l) = ±3 interaction between the v₂ = 2 a and the v₄ = a states in the analysis.     

Millimeter-wave spectrum of the C4v molecule IOF5: l-type doubling of the kl = −1 transitions in the v11(E) = 1 state spectrum

Measurements of the rotational spectrum of the C_4v molecule IOF₅ are reported for the excited vibrational state v₁₁(E) = 1 for the transitions J13 ← 12, 14 ← 13, 16 ← 15, and 17 ← 16 (55–72 GHz) including the observation of the kl = −1 (q⁻), l-doubling effect. Detailed assignments of the E-state spectrum are presented based on the overlapping quadrupole structure. These data are analyzed together with earlier results for the excited vibrational state v₆(B₁) = 1 to give information concerning the ν₆(B₁)-ν₁₁(E) Coriolis interaction and the (Δl, Δk) = (2, 2) (q⁺) and (2, −2) (q⁻)l-resonance interactions. It is found that q₁₁⁻ = −2.57(10) MHz, |q₁₁⁺| = 0.094(20) MHz, Δ = ν₆ − ν₁₁ = 45.2(7) cm⁻, ζ_11,11^z = +0.18(1) and |ζ_6,11^y| = 0.73(4).

We have searched for the decay τ^-→Π^-ηv_τ using the MARK II detector at the PEP e⁺e^- storage ring. No evidence for the decay is found; the upper limit for the branching ratio is B(τ^-→Π^-ηv_τ)<1.0% at the 95% confidence level.     

Radiative leptonic decay B-c→τ-(v)τγ in the standard model and the two-Higgs-doublet model

We analyze the radiative leptonic Be decay B-→τ-(v)τγ in the Standard Model and the twoHiggs-doublet model using the non-relativistic constituent quark model.The results confirm that this channel is experimentally promising in view of the large number of Bc mesons which are expected to be produced at future hadron facilities.We also find that this decay is sensitive to the parameters of the two-Higgs-doublet model,and it can be tested in future experiments.     

An interpretation of the She-Lévêque model based on order statistics

We present an interpretation of the She-Lévêque model in fully developed turbulence based on order statistics. Turbulent behavior at large values of the Reynolds number is often studied through the scaling behavior of moments of the distribution of the velocity differences and of the energy dissipation. The present interpretation leads to a derivation of the scaling exponents ζ_p and τ_p of these moments, without any postulate about a universal relation over the fluctuation structures such as the one used by She and Lévêque. The interpretation is based on the fact that the hierarchy of fluctuation structures imposes statistical constraints, whereupon the order p itself is seen as a random variable. As proposed by She and Lévêque, the hierarchy of the structures is such that the structures of larger order affect locally lower order structures through an entrainment process. This phenomenon leads to the Fisher-Tippett law, one of three asymptotic distributions for the extreme value of a random sample as the size of the sample grows to infinity.     

An Investigation of Signal Kinematical Region to Study Standard Model Higgs Boson Properties in the H → WW* → ℓvℓv Decay Channel in the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at 13 TeV

A signal kinematical region is analyzed by the Higgs Boson Working Group (HWW) within the framework of a study of the Standard Model Higgs boson properties in the H → WW* → evεv decay channel in the ATLAS experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The analysis is based on the full statistics of proton-proton collision data during exposures in 2015–2016 at the center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. As compared to our previous analysis, the reconstruction software is updated and the simulation accuracy of backgrounds is improved. Events taken at low and high LHC luminosity are studied separately. In addition, the kinematics at the later stages of event selection is investigated in detail and systematic uncertainties are fully estimated. It is shown that the Monte Carlo modeling satisfactorily describes the experimental data at different selection stages. Kinematic distributions for hadron jets are studied also in the Z-boson control region, where the acquired data reach the order of ten million events. As compared to the previous investigation, the modeling accuracy of Z and background processes is noticeably improved, and events at low and high LHC luminosities are studied separately. Furthermore, all systematic uncertainties related to jets are estimated as well. As a whole, good agreement between experimental results and Monte Carlo simulation data is observed. No problems that would be caused by high luminosity are observed.

     

引力场中的g和v

类比是人类认识事物的一种基本思维方法。它既不同于从一般推导到个别的演绎法,又不同于从个别推导到一般的归纳法,它是属于从特殊到特殊,从个别到个别的推理,在物理教学中占有极其重要的地位。本文通过对静电力和引力的类比,引入描述引力场的育关物理量以及高斯定理。 比较库仑定律和万有引力定律的数学表达式,发现它们具有惊人的相似之处:它们都服从平方反比定律,库仑定律中的q和万有引力定律中的m相当,库仑定律中的1/4πε和万有引力定律中的G相当,但它们也有各自的特殊性:万有引力总是引力,库仑力却可以是引力,也可以是斥力;还有库仑力存在于两带电体之间,而万有引力存在于任何两物体之间,我们可以将有关静电场的知识结构、研究方法移植于引力场中,如用场强研究力的性质,用势的概念研究场能的变化,用力线形象地描绘场,用高斯定理简便地计算空间各点的场强等。 类似于静电场,任何物体在其周围的空间激发了一个“引力场”,并对处在其中的任何物体有力的作用,

Nondiagonal radiative (v i v jγ) interactions in an external field

Radiative v_j v_i and v_lv_j transitions of massive Dirac neutrinos are studied in the field of a linearly polarized wave and in a constant crossed field within the framework of an invariant procedure being developed for calculations in plane-wave-type fields. It is shown that with the upper bound used for the anomalous magnetic moment of the neutrinos, consideration of the external field may be decisive in the case of the v_j v_i (m_j>m_i) photodecay, with possible nontrivial consequences in the astrophysical aspect.Moscow State Open Pedagogical Institute.

Infrared spectrum of the Ar-CO complex: observation of the v co = 2 ← 0 band at 4260 cm −1

The spectrum of the weakly-bound van der Waals complex Ar-CO has been observed for the first time in the region of the CO vibrational overtone, using a long-path (180 m) low-temperature (64 K) absorption cell and a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The appearance of the spectrum was very similar to that studied previously in the v _co = 1 ← 0 region. However, it was very much weaker, so a detailed analysis was only possible for the relatively uncongested K = 1 ← 0 and 0 ← 1 subbands. The parameters determined here for these sub-bands should help to constrain the C-O bond length dependence of the Ar-CO intermolecular potential in future theoretical models.
