From collisions to clusters: first steps of sulphuric acid nanocluster formation dynamics

The clustering of sulphuric acid with base molecules is one of the main pathways of new-particle formation in the Earth's atmosphere. First step in the clustering process is likely the formation of a (sulphuric acid)₁(base)₁(water)_n cluster. Here, we present results from direct first-principles molecular dynamics collision simulations of (sulphuric acid)₁(water)_{0, 1} + (dimethylamine) → (sulphuric acid)₁(dimethylamine)₁(water)_{0, 1} cluster formation processes. The simulations indicate that the sticking factor in the collisions is unity: the interaction between the molecules is strong enough to overcome the possible initial non-optimal collision orientations. No post-collisional cluster break up is observed. The reasons for the efficient clustering are (i) the proton transfer reaction which takes place in each of the collision simulations and (ii) the subsequent competition over the proton control. As a consequence, the clusters show very dynamic ion pair structure, which differs from both the static structure optimisation calculations and the equilibrium first-principles molecular dynamics simulations. In some of the simulation runs, water mediates the proton transfer by acting as a proton bridge. In general, water is able to notably stabilise the formed clusters by allocating a fraction of the released clustering energy.

Comparative study of the forward and backward methods for calculating jet properties in pp collisions at s~(1/2)=7 TeV

We propose a forward method based on PYTHIA6.4 to study the jet properties in ultra-relativistic pp collisions.In the forward method,the partonic initial states are first generated with PYTHIA6.4 and then hadronized in the Lund string fragmentation model,and finally the hadronic jets are constructed from the created hadrons.Jet properties calculated with the forward method for pp collisions at √s=7 TeV are comparable to those calculated with the usual anti-kt algorithm(backward method)in PYTHIA6.4.The comparison between the backward and forward methods may contribute to the understanding of the partonic origin of jets in the backward method.

Initial conditions and global event properties from color glass condensate

Perturbative unitarization from non-linear effects is thought to deplete the gluon density for transverse momenta below the saturation scale. Such effects also modify the distribution of gluons produced in heavy-ion collisions in transverse impact parameter space. I discuss some of the consequences for the initial conditions for hydrodynamic models of heavy-ion collisions and for hard “tomographic” probes. Also, I stress the importance of realistic modelling of the fluctuations of the valence sources for the small-x fields in the impact parameter plane. Such models can now be combined with solutions of running–coupling Balitsky–Kovchegov evolution to obtain controlled predictions for initial conditions at the LHC.     

Diffractive and nondiffractive components of the multiplicity distribution in pp collisions

Topological cross sections for diffractive and nondiffractive components in pp collisions are deduced on the basis of a dynamical model proposed earlier to explain the multiplicity distribution of charged particles. The model has an important prediction for the angular and momentum distributions of charged particles in diffractive events.     

Molecular modelling investigations on the possibility of phenanthrene dimers to be the primary nuclei of soot

Pyrene dimerisation was successfully used to model the beginning of soot nucleation in some simulation models. However, the quantum mechanics (QM) calculations proved that the binding energy of a PAH dimer with three six-member rings was similar to that of a pyrene dimer. Meanwhile, the high concentration of phenanthrene at flame conditions indicated high probability of collisions among them. The small difference of the binding energy and high concentration indicated that PAHs structurally smaller than pyrene also could be involved in soot inception. Hence, binary collisions of phenanthrene were simulated to find out whether phenanthrene dimers can serve as soot primary nuclei or not by using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD). Three temperatures, six collision orientations and 155 initial translational velocities (ITVs) were considered. The results indicated that the number of dimers with lifetime over 10 ps which can serve as soot nuclei decreased from 52 at 1000 K to 17 at 1600 K, and further to 6 at 2400 K, which means that low temperature was more favourable for phenanthrene to form soot nuclei. Meanwhile, no soot nuclei were formed at the high velocity region (HVR), compared to 43 and 9 at low and middle velocity regions (LVR and MVR), respectively, when temperature was 1000 K. Also, no soot nuclei were formed at HVR when the temperature was raised to 1600 K and 2400 K. This indicated that HVR was unfavourable for phenanthrene to form soot nuclei. The results computationally further illustrated that small PAHs such as phenanthrene could serve as soot primary nuclei, since they have similar mole fractions in some flames. This may be useful for future soot simulation models.     

Molecular collisions: From near-cold to ultra-cold

In the past two decades, the revolutionary technologies of creating cold and ultracold molecules have provided cutting-edge experiments for studying the fundamental phenomena of collision physics. To a large degree, the recent explosion of interest in the molecular collisions has been sparked by dramatic progress of experimental capabilities and theoretical methods, which permit molecular collisions to be explored deep in the quantum mechanical limit. Tremendous experimental advances in the field have already been achieved, and the authors, from an experimental perspective, provide a review of these studies for exploring the nature of molecular collisions occurring at temperatures ranging from the Kelvin to the nanoKelvin regime, as well as for applications of producing ultracold molecules.     

Fragment production in 16O+80Br reaction within dynamical microscopic theory

We analyze the formation of fragments in O—Br reaction at different incident energies between E/A=50 MeV and 200 MeV. This study is carried out within the quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) model coupled with recently advanced simulated annealing clusterization algorithm (SACA). For comparison, we also use the conventional minimum spanning tree (MST) method. Our detailed study shows that the SACA can detect the final stable fragment configuration as early as 60 fin/c which is marked by a dip in the heaviest fragment. On the other hand, the MST method needs several hundred fm/c to identify the final stable distribution. A comparison of the charge distribution with experimental data shows that the SACA is able to reproduce the data very nicely whereas (as reported earlier) the MST method fails to break the spectator matter into intermediate mass fragments. Furthermore, our results with SACA method indicate the onset of multi-fragmentation around 75 MeV/A which is again in good agreement with experimental findings.     

Molecular dynamics study of biomembrane/local anesthetics interactions

It is still controversial how local anesthetics (LAs) act upon the nervous system and how the membrane contributes to this process, since probably the most important active site of the LAs is located in the sodium channels, a trans-membrane protein. An important role of the bio-membrane would be the stabilization and orientation of local anesthetics molecules, reducing their translational and rotational degrees of freedom, which could reinforce the mechanisms which interrupt the nervous impulse. This study aims to perform a computational analysis of the LAs behaviour in the membrane, and the effect of the water/membrane interface on their stabilization and orientation. Analysis by molecular dynamics (MD) showed that the charged form of these drugs are oriented at the interface, while the neutral form can easily cross the interface, entering the membrane, in agreement with the most recent experimental results in the literature. In contrast, it is here suggested that benzocaine (BZC), which exists only in its uncharged form in physiological media, behaves like the charged anesthetics, remaining stabilized and oriented at the interface. This could explain the similar anesthetic effect of BZC and the charged forms of tetracaine (TTC) and lidocaine (LDC).     

Expanding color flux tubes and instabilities

We present an analytic study of the physics of the glasma which is a strong classical gluon field created at early stage of high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Our analysis is based on the picture that the glasma just after the collision is made of color electric and magnetic flux tubes extending in the longitudinal direction with their diameters of the order of 1/Q_s (Q_s is the saturation scale of the colliding nuclei). We find that both the electric and magnetic flux tubes expand outwards and the field strength inside the flux tube decays rapidly in time. Next we investigate whether there exist instabilities against small rapidity-dependent perturbations for a fixed color configuration. We find that the magnetic background field exhibits an instability induced by the fluctuations in the lowest Landau level, and it grows exponentially in the time scale of 1/Q_s. For the electric background field we find no apparent instability while the possible relation to the Schwinger mechanism for particle pair creations is suggested.     

Helium production from 84Kr-- and 197Au--emulsion interactions at high energies

The properties of the relativistic helium fragments produced in interactions of 84 Kr at 1.8 A GeV and 197 Au at 10.7 A GeV in emulsion are investigated. The experimental results are compared with those obtained from various projectiles with emulsion collisions at different energies. It is found that the multiplicity distribution of helium projectile fragments (HPFs) is well described by the Koba-Nielsen-Olesen (KNO) scaling presentation. The second Mueller moment f 2 of the HPF multiplicity distribution is independent of the projectile energy for the same projectile, but it is dependent on the projectile mass number. The value of f 2 increases with the increase of projectile mass number A p . The negative value of f 2 , when A p < 69, means that the emission of HPFs is anticorrelated, but positive value of f 2 , when A p > 69, refers to that the emission of HPFs is correlated. The non-zero f 2 moment in this experiment implies the strong correlation existing between the HPFs.
