New omega vortex identification method

A new vortex identification criterion called W-method is proposed based on the ideas that vorticity overtakes deformation in vortex.The comparison with other vortex identification methods like Q-criterion and λ_2-method is conducted and the advantages of the new method can be summarized as follows:(1) the method is able to capture vortex well and very easy to perform;(2) the physical meaning of W is clear while the interpretations of iso-surface values of Q and λ_2 chosen to visualize vortices are obscure;(3)being different from Q and λ_2 iso-surface visualization which requires wildly various thresholds to capture the vortex structure properly, W is pretty universal and does not need much adjustment in different cases and the iso-surfaces of W=0.52 can always capture the vortices properly in all the cases at different time steps, which we investigated;(4) both strong and weak vortices can be captured well simultaneously while improper Q and λ_2 threshold may lead to strong vortex capture while weak vortices are lost or weak vortices are captured but strong vortices are smeared;(5) W=0.52 is a quantity to approximately define the vortex boundary. Note that, to calculate W, the length and velocity must be used in the non-dimensional form. From our direct numerical simulation, it is found that the vorticity direction is very different from the vortex rotation direction in general 3-D vortical flow,the Helmholtz velocity decomposition is reviewed and vorticity is proposed to be further decomposed to vortical vorticity and non-vortical vorticity.     

Observation of in-medium modifications of the omega meson

The photoproduction of omega mesons on nuclei has been investigated using the Crystal Barrel/TAPS experiment at the ELSA tagged photon facility in Bonn. The aim is to study possible in-medium modifications of the omega meson via the reaction gamma + A --> omega + X --> pi(0)gamma + X('). Results obtained for Nb are compared to a reference measurement on a LH2 target. While for recoiling, long-lived mesons (pi(0), eta, and eta;(')), which decay outside of the nucleus, a difference in the line shape for the two data samples is not observed, we find a significant enhancement towards lower masses for omega mesons produced on the Nb target. For momenta less than 500 MeV/c an in-medium omega meson mass of M(medium) = [722(+4)(-4)(stat)+35-5(syst)] MeV/c(2) has been deduced at an estimated average nuclear density of 0.6rho(0).     

Hohlraum-driven ignitionlike double-shell implosions on the omega laser facility

High-convergence ignitionlike double-shell implosion experiments have been performed on the Omega laser facility [T. R. Boehly, Opt. Commun. 133, 495 (1997)] using cylindrical gold hohlraums with 40 drive beams. Repeatable, dominant primary (2.45 MeV) neutron production from the mix-susceptible compressional phase of a double-shell implosion, using fall-line design optimization and exacting fabrication standards, is experimentally inferred from time-resolved core x-ray imaging. Effective control of fuel-pusher mix during final compression is essential for achieving noncryogenic ignition with double-shell targets on the National Ignition Facility [Paisner, Laser Focus World 30, 75 (1994)].     

\sigma-\omega model and compressible bag model

Compressible bag model is formulated on the basis of lagrangian field theory. A specific application is done in conjunction with - model. The results are similar to Chin-Walecka model and almost reproduce our previous results. The effective nucleon mass does not become so small owing to the compressibility, in contrast to Chin-Walecka model.

Observation of rho/omega meson modification in nuclear matter

We measured the invariant mass spectra of electron-positron pairs in the target rapidity region of 12-GeV p+A reactions. We have observed a significant difference in the mass spectra below the omega meson between p+C and p+Cu interactions. This difference indicates that the spectral shape of mesons is modified at normal nuclear-matter density.     

Coherent phase control in ionization of magnesium by a bichromatic laser field of frequencies \(\mathsf\omega \) and 2 \(\mathsf\omega \)

We have investigated the coherent phase control on the 3p² autoionizing state (AIS) resonantly coupled with the ground state for Mg through a two- and a four-photon transition simultaneously, using a bichromatic linearly polarized laser field. The frequency is chosen such that the lasers are tunable around resonance with the transition , which implies eV and eV. We are interested in the modification of autoionizing (AI) line shape through the relative phase and laser intensities. A strong phase dependence on the total ionization yield and ionization rate is found. We also performed a time-dependent calculation which takes into consideration all the resonant states of the process.Received: 5 November 2003, Published online: 9 March 2004PACS: 32.80.Qk Coherent control of atomic interactions with photons - 32.80.Rm Multiphoton ionization and excitation to highly excited states (e.g., Rydberg states) - 32.80.Dz AutoionizationG.
