Neutron star structure and the neutron radius of 208Pb.

We study relationships between the neutron-rich skin of a heavy nucleus and the properties of neutron-star crusts. Relativistic effective field theories with a thicker neutron skin in 208Pb have a larger electron fraction and a lower liquid-to-solid transition density for neutron-rich matter. These properties are determined by the density dependence of the symmetry energy which we vary by adding nonlinear couplings between isoscalar and isovector mesons. An accurate measurement of the neutron radius in 208Pb-via parity violating electron scattering-may have important implications for the structure of the crust of neutron stars.     

Space-time evolution of the hadronic source in peripheral to central Pb+Pb collisions

Two-particle correlations of negative pions as a function of charged particle multiplicity are studied in Pb+Pb collisions at GeV per nucleon using the NA44 experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron(SPS). We find that the source size parameters increase with the charged particle multiplicity. However the slope of the source size parameters plotted as a function of charged multiplicity is slightly larger at high multiplicity than at low multiplicity. The value of is independent of charged multiplicity. For Pb+Pb collisions, is larger than and for all multiplicity intervals, whereas these three radius parameters were approximately equal in S+Nucleus collisions. The ratios () and () for Pb+Pb data show almost no dependence on charged multiplicity. The duration of pion emission is constant at 3.81.1 fm/c as a function of the charged multiplicity in Pb+Pb collisions. Effective volume (V) is also calculated as V=, assuming a cylindrically shaped source. We found, within the limited statistics, the effective volume rapidly increases at high multiplicity.

Measurement of the neutron radius of 208Pb through parity violation in electron scattering

We report the first measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry A(PV) in the elastic scattering of polarized electrons from 208Pb. A(PV) is sensitive to the radius of the neutron distribution (R(n)). The result A(PV)=0.656±0.060(stat)±0.014(syst) ppm corresponds to a difference between the radii of the neutron and proton distributions R(n)-R(p)=0.33(-0.18)(+0.16) fm and provides the first electroweak observation of the neutron skin which is expected in a heavy, neutron-rich nucleus.

Neutron radii in nuclei and the neutron equation of state

The root-mean-square radius for neutrons in nuclei is investigated in the Skyrme Hartree-Fock model. The main source of theoretical variation comes from the exchange part of the density-dependent interaction which can be related to a basic property of the neutron equation of state. A precise measurement of the neutron radius in 208Pb would place an important new constraint on the equation of state for neutron matter. The Friedman-Pandharipande neutron equation of state would lead to a very precise value of 0.16+/-0.02 fm for the difference between the neutron and the proton root-mean-square radius in 208Pb.     

Event-by-event fluctuations of the Kaon-to-Pion ratio in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon

We present the first measurement of fluctuations from event to event in the production of strange particles in collisions of heavy nuclei. The ratio of charged kaons to charged pions is determined for individual central Pb+Pb collisions. After accounting for the fluctuations due to detector resolution and finite number statistics we derive an upper limit on genuine nonstatistical fluctuations, which could be related to a first- or second-order QCD phase transition. Such fluctuations are shown to be very small.     

Observation of curious spiral-like features on spray pyrolysed Pb doped Hg-based HTSC films

The surface morphology of spray pyrolysed Hg(Pb)Ba₂Ca₂Cu₃O_8+δ films is investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). By imaging the as-grown surfaces of the films, we have directly observed spiral-shaped growth terraces that emanate from screw dislocations. The high density of screw dislocations (∼10⁶ cm⁻²) observed by SEM micrographs of the films is expected to nucleate during the initial stages of growth due to the bi-phasic nature of the material, providing a continual supply of ledge incorporation sites for the depositing species. A possible mechanism, for the generation of these screw dislocations in terms of incoherent coalescence of growth fronts formed from Hg(Pb):1223 and Hg(Pb):1234 nuclei, is described.

The PbPb collision

The reaction ²⁰⁸Pb on ²⁰⁸Pb was studied at bombarding energies of 7.0 and 7.57 MeV/u. One-particle inclusive measurements using a large-area position-sensitive ionisation chamber delivered the kinetic energy, charge and scattering angle of the reaction products. A precise calibration of the stopping power for very heavy ions in the detector gas was performed. The measured Wilczynski diagrams show, for increasing loss of kinetic energy, an increase of the mean scattering angle. It is attributed to the dominance of the repulsive Coulomb forces with respect to the attractive nuclear forces. The element distribution for the ²⁰⁸Pb on ²³⁸U reaction at 7.5 MeV/u was also measured and compared to the PbPb and UU reactions. Fission probabilities are derived as a function of charge and total kinetic energy loss. The most striking result is seen in the σ_z² versus TKEL correlation: the average rate of energy loss per nucleon exchange is abnormally large. It is shown that this behaviour is associated with the double magic closed shell character of the colliding nuclei. Nuclear structure information is extracted through a simple parametrisation.

Central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c studied by \pi^-\pi^- interferometry

Two-particle correlations have been measured for identified from central 158 A GeV Pb+Pb collisions and fitted radii of about 7 fm in all dimensions have been obtained. A multi-dimensional study of the radii as a function of is presented, including a full correction for the resolution effects of the apparatus. The cross term of the standard fit in the Longitudinally CoMoving System (LCMS) and the parameter of the generalised Yano-Koonin fit are compatible with 0, suggesting that the source undergoes a boost invariant expansion. The shapes of the correlation functions in and have been analyzed in detail. They are not Gaussian but better represented by exponentials. As a consequence, fitting Gaussians to these correlation functions may produce different radii depending on the acceptance of the experimental setup used for the measurement.

Event-by-event fluctuations of average transverse momentum in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon

We present first data on event-by-event fluctuations in the average transverse momentum of charged particles produced in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. This measurement provides previously unavailable information allowing sensitive tests of microscopic and thermodynamic collision models and to search for fluctuations expected to occur in the vicinity of the predicted QCD phase transition. We find that the observed variance of the event-by-event average transverse momentum is consistent with independent particle production modified by the known two-particle correlations due to quantum statistics and final state interactions and folded with the resolution of the NA49 apparatus. For two specific models of non-statistical fluctuations in transverse momentum limits are derived in terms of fluctuation amplitude. We show that a significant part of the parameter space for a model of isospin fluctuations predicted as a consequence of chiral symmetry restoration in a non-equilibrium scenario is excluded by our measurement.     

Datierung von Ostseesedimenten mit 210Pb

The paper reports on the results of²¹⁰Pb measurement in sediment cores from the Baltic Sea. The models used for the interpretation are derived and discussed. In general, the sedimentation parameters calculated with different models are consistent. However, parameters of cores independently taken on same stations partly show clearly differing values. The reasons of this observation has to be analysed by further studies.

An essential problem considered in this paper is the dating of disturbed sediments. The use of such cores for the reconstruction of the input history of chemical indicators requires a deconvolution of data. The response function necessary for this procedure can be derived from ²¹⁰Pb measurements. The results of such a reconstruction considerably differ from those obtained by conventional dating models. The analysis of the measuring uncertainty of the indicator (e.g. lead) in the deconvolution procedure unveals the limits of the method and prevents it from overinterpretation.

Infrared light-emitting diodes based on colloidal Pb Se/Pb S core/shell nanocrystals

Colloidal Pb Se nanocrystals(NCs) have gained considerable attention due to their efficient carrier multiplication and emissions across near-infrared and short-wavelength infrared spectral ranges. However, the fast degradation of colloidal Pb Se NCs in ambient conditions hampers their widespread applications in infrared optoelectronics. It is well-known that the inorganic thick-shell over core improves the stability of NCs. Here, we present the synthesis of Pb Se/Pb S core/shell NCs showing wide spectral tunability, in which the molar ratio of lead(Pb) and sulfur(S) precursors, and the concentration of sulfur and Pb Se NCs in solvent have a significant effect on the efficient Pb S shell growth. The infrared light-emitting diodes(IR-LEDs) fabricated with the Pb Se/Pb S core/shell NCs exhibit an external quantum efficiency(EQE) of 1.3 % at 1280 nm. The ligand exchange to optimize the distance between NCs and chloride treatment are important processes for achieving high performance on Pb Se/Pb S NC-LEDs. Our results provide evidence for the promising potential of Pb Se/Pb S NCs over the wide range of infrared optoelectronic applications.
