A Lower Bound on Longitudinal Structure Function at Small x from a Self-Similarity Based Model of Proton

Self-similarity based model of proton structure function at small x was reported in the literature sometime back. The phenomenological validity of the model is in the kinematical region 6.2 × 10-7 ≤ x ≤ 10-2 and 0.045 ≤ Q2 ≤ 120 GeV2. We use momentum sum rule to pin down the corresponding self-similarity-based gluon distribution function valid in the same kinematical region. The model is then used to compute bound on the longitudinal structure function FL（X, Q2） for A1tarelli-Martinelli equation in QCD and is compared with the recent HERA data.     

The Shift Operators in Ginocchio Model

In fermion space, the vectors (s⁺|0) and D⁺.D⁺|0) are not orthogonal. The analytic expressions of the wave functions in Ginocchio model are more complicated than those in IBM. Using the shift operator method we can easily construct the wave functions in Ginocchio model. The wave functions of the (0,0) irreducible representations of SO(5) for nucleon number N ≤ 10 are given.     

Systems Driven by Colored Poisson Noise: Unified Colored Noise Approximation

In this paper, unified colored noise approximation is extended to treat the systems driven by Poisson colored noise χ = ν(χ) + gε_cp(t). We arrive the evolution equation of the probability distribution pi(x, r) and the stationary probability distribution pt (χ, Υ). These equations are valid only if γ(χ,Υ) ≡ γ^-1/2[1 - ΥG(χ)/g(χ)] (G(χ) ≡ v'(χ)g(χ) - v(g)g'(χ)) is large enough (positive) and t >> Υ/γ(χ, Υ), but Υ is not restricted. As an application, we derive the nonlinear relaxation time (NLRT) for the processes driven by Poisson colored noise and evduate the NLRT for the approximative Ginzburg-Landon model under small Υ.

Multiple parton scattering in nuclei: twist-four nuclear matrix elements and off-forward parton distributions

Multiple parton scatterings inside a large nucleus generally involve higher-twist nuclear parton matrix elements. The gluon bremsstrahlung induced by multiple scattering depends not only on direct parton matrix elements but also on momentum-crossed ones, due to the Landau–Pomeranchuk–Migdal interference effect. We show that both types of twist-four nuclear parton matrix elements can be factorized approximately into the product of twist-two nucleon matrix elements in the limit of extremely large nuclei, A→∞, as assumed in previous studies. Due to the correlative nature of the twist-four matrix elements under consideration, it is actually the off-forward parton distributions that appear naturally in this decomposition, rather than the ordinary diagonal distributions probed in deeply-inelastic scattering. However, we argue that the difference between these two distribution classes is small in certain kinematic regimes. In these regions, the twist-four nuclear parton matrix elements are evaluated numerically and compared to the factorized form for different nuclear sizes within a schematic model of the two-nucleon correlation function. The nuclear size dependence is found to be A^4/3 in the limit of large A, as expected. We find that the factorization is reasonably good when the momentum fraction carried by the gluon field is moderate. The deviation can be more than a factor of 2, however, for small gluon momentum fractions, where the gluon distribution is very large.     

Comparisons Between Additional Parton Evolution and Q2-Rescaling Models Based on Recombination Effect

Comparisons between the additional parton evolution (APE) model and Q²-rescaling (QR) model based on the recombination effect are made by means of investigating deep-inelastic (DIS) structure functions F₂^A, nuclear Drell-Yan process and nuclear gluon distributions. While explaining experimentally measured F₂^A(x) structure functions, the difference in the recombination results of the two models mainly lies in their sensitivity to input parton distributions and Q²-dependence. In predicting the nuclear Drell-Yan ratio, the APE model gives more reasonable results in the small x region than those of the QR model. The two motlels offer similar predictions of the nuclear gluon ratio G_sn(x)/G_c(x) which are extracted from the inelastic J/ψ production process.     

Characteristics of a vacuum spark triggered by the transient hollowcathode discharge electron beam

The discharge characteristics of a vacuum spark triggered by the transient hollow cathode discharge (THCD) electron beam is investigated over a wide variety of discharge conditions. Two systems of the vacuum spark device have been considered-the first system powered by eight 2700-pF doorknob capacitors charged to a voltage of 40 kV (input energy of 17.6 J); while the second system employs a single 1.85-μF Maxwell capacitor discharged at a voltage of 20 kV (input energy of 370 J). The operating pressure of these systems has been varied over the range of 10 ^-2 to 10^-5 mbar in order to examine the effect of the operating pressure on the plasma formation of the vacuum spark discharge. The effectiveness of plasma heating has been found to be significantly enhanced in the two vacuum spark systems studied here. In particular, the plasma of the 17.6 J system has been observed to be heated to a condition hot enough to emit in the X-ray region when the operating pressure is reduced from 10^-2 to 10^-5 mbar. Similarly, in the case of the 370 J system, hot spot formation is also observed to occur only at a low operating pressure of 10^-4 mbar     

The Origin of the EMC Effect

In this paper, using the idea of nucleon swelling in nucleus, we discuss the Q²- and x-rescaling on the nucleon structure function for explaining the EMC effect, and find that the parton evolution produced by nucleon swelling in the nuclear medium may be the origin of the EMC effect.     

Experimental observation of high-voltage, low-current vacuum arcs

A poorly explored type of discharge has been investigated in high vacuum (10^-7 to 10^-6 torr), with a DC high voltage across 0.2- to 0.8-mm gaps. The discharge has been found to be quite different from other widely known types of vacuum and gas discharges by the combination of its voltage-current characteristics (hyperbola-type), source and carriers of current (mostly electrons), and spatial potential distribution (a considerable electric field across the gap and a steep potential fall near the cathode)     

高能电子辐射下聚四氟乙烯深层充电特性

介质深层充放电现象是诱发航天器异常故障的重要因素之一.分析了高能电子辐射下介质内部电荷沉积、能量沉积特性和电导特性,考虑了真空与介质界面电荷对电场分布的影响,建立了介质二维深层充电的物理模型,并基于有限元方法实现了数值计算.计算了高能电子辐射下聚四氟乙烯的深层充电特性.结果表明:真空环境下,介质的表面存在较弱的反向电场,随着介质深度增大,电场减小至零,随后逐渐增大,最大值出现在靠近接地附近,但在接地点,电场存在小幅降低.分析了不同辐射时间下(1 h,1 d,10 d和30 d),介质内部最大电位和最大电场的时空演变特性.随着辐射时间的增加,最大电位由-128V增加至-7.9×104V,最大电场由2.83×105V·m-1增加至1.76×108V·m-1.讨论了入射电子束流密度对最大电场的影响,典型空间电子环境(1×10-10A·m-2)下,电子辐照10 d时,介质内部最大电场为2.95×106V·m-1.而恶劣空间电子环境(2×10-8A·m-2)下,电子辐射42 h,介质内部最大电场即达到108V·m-1,超过材料击穿阈值(约为108V·m-1),极易发生放电现象.该物理模型和数值方法可以作为航天器复杂部件多维电场仿真的研究基础.     

Chargino-Pair Productions via Drell-Yan Process at the LHC

We present the analytical and numerical investigations of chargino-pair productions via Drell-Yan process a t proton-proton collider in the frame of minimal supersymmetric extension at tree level. For the χ_i⁺χ_j^-(i,j= 1,2) pair productions at the LHC, the cross section is in the order of 3～2.5 ×10^-3 pb. We find that the cross sections of all kinds of chargino-pair production processes are strongly related to the SUSY Lagrangian parameters M₂ and μ.     

Nuclear Effect Study Under K Factor's Nonconstancy

A consistent approach to estimating nuclear effect functions R_v^A(x₂) and R_s^A(x₂) based on numerical iteration technique is presented in the quark-parton model when taking into account the nonconstancy of quantum chromodynamics correction factor K. R_v^A(x₂) and R_s^A(x₂) correspond respectively to the valence quark distributions for one bound nucleon within the nucleus and to the sea quark ones. Related numerical analysis is given for nuclei ₆C¹², ₂₀Ca⁴⁰, and ₂₆Fe⁵⁶. As the basis, it adopts both experimental data of the high energy proton-nucleus Drell-Yan process and of the high energy lepton-nucleus deep inelastic scattering.     

Calculation of the Gluon Distribution Function Using Alternative Method for the Proton Structure Function

A calculation of the proton structure function F2(x,Q^2) is reported with an approximation method that relates the reduced cross section derivative and the F2(x, Q^2) scaling violation at low x by using quadratic form for the structure function. This quadratic form approximation method can be used to determine the structure function F2 (x, Q^2) from the HERA reduced cross section data taken at low x. This new approach can determine the structure functions F2(x,Q^2) with reasonable precision even for low x values which have not been investigated. We observe that the Q^2 dependence is quadratic over the full kinematic covered range. To test the validity of our new determined structure functions, we find the gluon distribution function in the leading order approximation with our new calculation for the structure functions and compare them with the QCD parton distribution functions.     

Al~(3+)/Mo~(6+)双离子取代ZrV_2O_7中Zr~(4+)/V~(5+)实现近零膨胀

Low specific contact resistivity to graphene achieved by AuGe/Ni/Au and annealing process

Low metal-graphene contact resistance is important in making high-performance graphene devices.In this work,we demonstrate a lower specific contact resistivity of Au_(0.88)Ge_(0.12)/Ni/Au-graphene contact compared with Ti/Au and Ti/Pt/Au contacts.The rapid thermal annealing process was optimized to improve AuGe/Ni/Au contact resistance.Results reveal that both pre- and post-annealing processes are effective for reducing the contact resistance.The specific contact resistivity decreases from 2.5 × 10~(-4) to 7.8 × 10~(-5) Ω·cm~2 by pre-annealing at 300 ℃ for one hour,and continues to decrease to9.5 × 10~(-7) H·cm~2 after post-annealing at 490 ℃ for 60 seconds.These approaches provide reliable means of lowering contact resistance.     

Nuclear effects in the F3 structure function for finite and asymptotic Q

We study nuclear effects in the structure function F₃ which describes the parity violating part of the charged-current neuitrino nucleon deep inelastic scattering. Starting from a covariant approach we derive a factorized expression for the nuclear structure function in terms of the nuclear spectral function and off-shell nucleon structure functions valid for arbitrary momentum transfer Q and in the limit of weak nuclear binding, i.e. when a nucleus can be treated as a non-relativistic system. We develop a systematic expansion of nuclear structure functions in terms of a Q⁻² series caused by nuclear effects (“nuclear twist” series). Basing ourselves on this expansion we calculate nuclear corrections to the Gross-Llewellyn-Smith sum rule as well as to higher moments of F₃. We show that corrections to the GLS sum rule due to nuclear effects cancel out in the Bjorken limit and calculate the corresponding Q⁻² correction. Special attention is paid to the discussion of the off-shell effects in the structure functions. A sizable impact of these effects both on the Q² and x dependence of nuclear structure functions is found.     

Nonstationary macroparticle charging in an arc plasma jet

The charging of liquid metal macroparticles in the rarified part of a vacuum arc plasma jet is studied. The sheath in the vicinity of the macroparticle is collisionless and the problem with different Debye length to macroparticle radius ratios is analyzed. Maxwellian velocity distribution functions with different temperatures for the electrons and ions in an arbitrary ratio are allowed in the model. By solving the equation for the electric field together with the equation for ion and electron flux, the charging time and the near electric field of the macroparticles were calculated. The kinetics of the macroparticle charging are controlled by the ion and electron flux to the macroparticle, which depend on the potential distribution in the sheath. The potential falls off slower than 1/r² in the case of the large Debye length to macroparticle radius ratio, and falls off more rapidly than 1/r² in the other case. The charge which accumulates on a macroparticle at distances of about 10 cm from a 100-Å cathode is about 10^-16 C and the charging time is about 10^-5 s. The influence of the plasma drift velocity on the macroparticle charging is small. The model presented here agrees well with an experimental study of macroparticle repulsion from biased substrates     

Stationary Probability and First-Passage Time of Biased Random Walk

In this paper, we consider the stationary probability and first-passage time of biased random walk on 1D chain, where at each step the walker moves to the left and right with probabilities p and q respectively (0≤p, q≤1, p+q=1). We derive exact analytical results for the stationary probability and first-passage time as a function of p and q for the first time. Our results suggest that the first-passage time shows a double power-law F~(N-1)^γ, where the exponent γ=2 for N<|p-q|^-1 and γ=1 for N>|p-q|^-1. Our study sheds useful insights into the biased random-walk process.     

Predictions for the 4 GeV TJNAF inclusive electron scattering experiment and for FSI effects in EMC ratios

We express nuclear structure functions F_i^A as generalized convolutions of the structure function of a nucleon and of a nucleus, composed of point-nucleons. In computations of the latter we include final state interactions and results for F₂^A are compared with a few directly measured data on C and Fe. The above-mentioned F_i^A are primarily used for predictions of the TJNAF 89-008 inclusive scattering experiment of 4 GeV electrons on various targets. Those targets cover a broad angular, and correspondingly wide x, ² range, where the nucleon-inelastic part dominates large sections of the covered kinematics. The same model has been applied to the study of hitherto neglected final state interaction effects in the nuclear component in EMC ratios in the region 0.25 x 0.85.
