Harmonics of Daily Variations in Cosmic-Ray Intensity

The high/low amplitude anisotropic wave-train events (HAE/LAE) in cosmic-ray intensity have been investigated during the period 1991-94, using the neutron monitor data for different latitudes. In all, 16 HAE and 13 LAE cases have been studied. An inter-comparison of the first three harmonics during these events has been made so as to understand the basic reason causing the occurrence of these types of events. It has been observed that the phase of diurnal anisotropy shifts towards earlier hours for HAEs; similarly, it shifts towards earlier hour as compared to 18-Hr direction for LAEs. For semi-diurnal anisotropy phase remains statistically the same for both HAE as well as for LAE. Further in case of tri-diurnal anisotropy phase is evenly distributed for both types of events. The interplanetary magnetic field and solar-wind plasma parameters during these events are also investigated. It has been also observed that HAE/LAEs are weakly dependent on solar-wind velocity.     

The Use of Azimuthal Intensity Variations in Diffraction Patterns for Particle Shape Characterization

Forward light scattering is a well established technique for measuring particle size distributions. The light intensity fluctuations which can be observed in the diffraction plane of the instrument can be used to stabilize the inversion process [1]. Particle shape information is also present in these fluctuations. It is shown that an azimuthal-type of detector can be used to extract this information from the statistical correlations of the detector signals.

Output Intensity Variations of the Laser Used in a Prism Coupling System and Its Application

The output intensity variations of the laser used in a prism coupling system are observed and found to be induced by the external optical feedback, which comes from the reflection on the prism. The intensity variations are explained with laser theory. The trough in the intensity variation corresponds to the position of the prism when the output light beam propagates perpendicularly to the prism. Based on the trough a new method for rotating the prism and reading out the step numbers is proposed, by which the angle 0° in the system need not to be calibrated. It is proven by experiment that the new method would improve the accuracy of the refractive index up to ±0.00001 and thickness to ±1 nm.

Variations of Free Volume of the Air Abundant in the Water by the Millimeter Waves of Low Intensity

We have found that low power millimeter electromagnetic radiation causes an increase in the volume pertinent to the free air abundant in water. This change is caused by the transition of some part of the dissolved air into a bubble state under decreasing dissolubility of the gas due to its thermal heating by the waves. The increase in the free air may occur only under those conditions when there is no convection in the liquid, i.e. in the case of irradiating by means of low-intense waves.

Short-Time Decoherence of Solid-State Qubit at Optimal Operation Points

We investigate the short-time decoherence of a solid-state qubit under Ohmic noise at optimal operation points. The decoherence is analyzed by maximum norm of the deviation density operator. It is shown that at the temperature T = 3 mK, the loss of the fidelity due to decoherence is much smaller than the DiVincenzo low decoherence criterion, which means that the model may be an optimal candidate of qubit for quantum computation.

Study of Muons in Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic-Ray Air Showers with the Telescope Array Experiment

One of the uncertainties in the interpretation of ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray (UHECR) data comes from the high-energy hadronic interaction models used for air shower Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations. A long-standing problem of the so-called “muon excess”, the discrepancy of number of muons predicted by simulations and observed in the data, is believed to be caused by the incompleteness of modern hadronic interaction models, all of which are known to use the extrapolated values of the parameters of hadronic interactions, such as cross sections and multiplicities. The present work is dedicated to the study of muon densities in UHE extensive air showers from the Telescope Array experiment surface detector data. In the 7-year-data from the Telescope Array experiment, we find that the number of particles observed for signals with an expected muon purity of ∼65% at a lateral distance of 2000 m from the shower core is 1.72 ± 0.10(stat.) ± 0.37(syst.) times larger than the MC prediction value using the QGSJETII-03 model for the proton-induced showers. A similar effect is also seen in comparison with other hadronic models such as QGSJETII-04, which shows a 1.67 ± 0.10 ± 0.36 excess. We also studied the dependence of these excesses on lateral distances and found a slower decrease of the lateral distribution of muons in the data as compared to the MC, causing larger discrepancy at the larger lateral distances.     

Determination of Domain of Attraction by Short-Time Overlap Dynamics in Neural Networks

Since the overlap dynamics of spin-glass-like neural network is solely governed by such two parameters, the symmetry of the net's connections and the stabilities of the embedded patterns, we propose that the domain of attraction of a network could be determined by a short-time (at least the first two-step) dynamics, in which both parameters begin to be visible.The first step overlap dynamics Q calculated by probability theory and the second step overlap dynamics for pseudo-inverse-model is obtained by extended Krauth's theory. The calculated domain of attraction for this model is in good agreement with the results obtained by computer simulation.

Short-Time Dynamics of the Three-Dimensional Ising Model with Competing Interactions

The critical relaxation from the low-temperature ordered state of the three-dimensional Ising model with competing interactions on a simple cubic lattice has been studied for the first time using the short-time dynamics method. Competition between exchange interactions is due to the ferromagnetic interaction between the nearest neighbors and the antiferromagnetic interaction between the next nearest neighbors. Particles containing 262144 spins with periodic boundary conditions have been studied. Calculations have been performed by the standard Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm. The static critical exponents of the magnetization and correlation radius have been calculated. The dynamic critical exponent of the model under study has been calculated for the first time.     

The Origin of Structures in Generalized Gravity

In a class of generalized gravity theories with general couplings between the scalar field and the scalar curvature in the Lagrangian, we can describe the quantum generation and the classical evolution of both the scalar and tensor structures in a simple and unified manner. An accelerated expansion phase based on the generalized gravity in the early universe drives microscopic quantum fluctuations inside a causal domain to expand into macroscopic ripples in the spacetime metric on scales larger than the local horizon. Following their generation from quantum fluctuations, the ripples in the metric spend a long period outside the causal domain. During this phase their evolution is characterized by their conserved amplitudes. The evolution of these fluctuations may lead to the observed large scale structures of the universe and anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation.
