A 480 ms isomeric 29/2−-state of the(p_{1/2}^{ - 2} )_{0^ + } f_{5/2}^{ - 1} (i_{13/2}^{ - 2} )_{12^ + } configuration in203Pb

A new, 480 ms, 29/2^? isomeric level has been found in²⁰³Pb at an excitation energy of 2950.1 keV by bombarding²⁰⁴Hg with α-particles in the energy range 45–55 MeV using the Stockholm 225-cm cyclotron. This 29/2^? state is suggested to be mainly due to the configuration (p ₁ ^2/?2 f ₅ ^2/?1 i ₁₃ ^2/?2 )₁₂. The 29/2^? state decays predominantly by a 153.4 keV M2 transition to a 23/2^? level and by a 1027.5 keV M4 transition to a 21/2⁺ level, followed by two E2 transitions of energies 258.6 keV and 838.7 keV, respectively, to the previously known 13/2⁺, 6.4 s isomeric level. The decay scheme of the 29/2^? isomeric state is based on experimental information obtained from total and delayedγ-ray intensities,γγ-coincidences, excitation functions, lifetime and delayed conversion electron measurements. The presence of the 29/2^? level confirms an essential and expected feature of the shell model for five neutron holes added to the²⁰⁸Pb-core.     

Neutron Pairing Correlations in an {\alpha}–{n}–{n} Three-Cluster Model of the {^{6}}He Nucleus

An \({\alpha}\)–n–n three-cluster model of the \({^6}\)He nucleus is studied by solving the Faddeev equations, where the cluster potential between \({\alpha}\) and n takes into account the Pauli exclusion correction, using the Fish-Bone Optical Model (Schmid in Z Phys A 297:105, 1980). The resulting binding energy of the ground state (\({0^+}\)) is 0.831 MeV and the resonance energy of the first excited state (\({2^+}\)), 0.60–i0.012 MeV, is extracted from the three-cluster break-up threshold. These theoretical values are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data: 0.973 MeV and 0.824–i0.056 MeV, respectively. In order to investigate the structure of these states, we calculate the angle density matrix for the \({\angle n_1 \alpha n_2}\) angle in the triangle formed by the three clusters. The angle density matrix of the ground state has two peaks and the configuration of \({0^+}\) wave function corresponding to the peaks constitutes a mixture of an acute-angled triangle structure and an obtuse-angled one. This finding is consistent with the former result from a variational approach (Hagino and Sagawa in Phys Rev C 72:044321, 2005). On the other hand, in the case of \({2^+}\) state only a single peak is obtained.     

Role of the Λ(1600) in the ${K}^{-}p \rightarrow {\rm{\Lambda }}{\pi }^{0}{\pi }^{0}$ reaction

Role of the Λ(1600) is studied in the ${K}^{-}p\to {\rm{\Lambda }}{\pi }^{0}{\pi }^{0}$ reaction by using the effective Lagrangian approach near the threshold. We perform a calculation for the total and differential cross sections by considering the contributions from the Λ(1600) and Λ(1670) intermediate resonances decaying into ${\pi }^{0}{{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* 0}(1385)$ with ${{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* 0}(1385)$ decaying into ${\pi }^{0}{\rm{\Lambda }}$. Additionally, the non-resonance process from u-channel nucleon pole is also taken into account. With our model parameters, the current experimental data on the total cross sections of the ${K}^{-}p\to {\rm{\Lambda }}{\pi }^{0}{\pi }^{0}$ reaction can be well reproduced. It is shown that we really need the contribution from the Λ(1600) with spin-parity ${J}^{P}=1/{2}^{+}$, and that these measurements can be used to determine some of the properties of the Λ(1600) resonance. Furthermore, we also plot the π⁰Λ invariant mass distributions which could be tested by the future experimental measurements.

Untersuchung des ZerfallsBi^{212} (ThC)\xrightarrow{\beta }Po^{212} (ThC')\xrightarrow{\alpha }Pb^{208} (ThD) durch (γ, α)-Koinzidenzen

Theγ-spektrum of Po²¹² (ThC′) has been measured by (γ, α)-coincidences with a fast-slow coincidence apparatus. The results are in excellent agreement with the conversion lines found by theLatyshev group. The absoluteγ-intensities have also been determined in order to get spins and parities of the levels by calculating the absolute conversion coefficients. Theβ-intensity leading to the exited states of Po²¹²(ThC′) is estimated to be about one third of that measured byBurde andRozner by (β, α)-coincidences. Threeγ-lines measured byChinaglia andDemichelis by (γ, α)-coincidences do not agree with our results. The 2⁺ assignment of the first exited state is now well established, but for the other levels in the decay scheme there is still some uncertainty concerning spin and level assignment.

Improving anti-reflectivity and laser damage threshold of \hbox {SiO}_{2}/\hbox {ZrO}_{2} thin films by laser shock peening at 1064 nm

In this study, anti-reflection (AR) \(\hbox {SiO}_{2}/ \hbox {ZrO}_{2}\) thin films with 3-layers were designed and fabricated by the essential Macleod software and physical vapor deposition, respectively. In order to improve the optical and physical properties of the prepared samples, laser shock peening (LSP) technique was applied. For this purpose, an Argon Fluoride Excimer laser \((\lambda =193 \,\text {nm})\) with 110 and 240 mJ energies and 1 Hz frequency at different pulses was used. The effect of LSP method in improving transmissions and laser damage thresholds of the prepared samples was proved by using UV–Vis–IR spectroscopy in the wavelength range of 400–1200 nm and international standard ISO11254 at 1064 nm. In addition, scanning electron microscopy was used to check the effect of applying LSP.

用PVTX装置研究二元混合物的汽液平衡——由{PvTX}推算{TPxy}

混合工质的TPvX数据和汽液平衡(TPxy)数据是两类重要的热力学基础数据。前者主要用PVTX装置测定,后者则用汽液平衡釜结合色谱分析得到,但一般限于中、低压范围.倘用PVTX装置来研究混合工质的汽液平衡,由于其测量方便,精度高以及温度压力范围广,有其独特优点.常用的定容线斜率分析法和直接观察法,只能产生泡点(TPx)或露点(TPy)数据,而x、y不可兼得,要得全面的汽液平衡关系,实验量太大,因而此法受到限制.本文提出探讨的一种方法,由PVTX装置测定的两相区实验数据PvTX(X为混合物总组成)直接推算汽液平衡的TPxy数据,可以弥补前述方法的缺陷,直接提供高温高压汽液平衡数据,并把PvTX和TPxy两类数据统一起来研究.     

Semi-Classical Twists for {\mathfrak{sl}}_{3} and {\mathfrak{sl}}_{4} Boundary r-Matrices of Cremmer–Gervais Type

We obtain explicit formulas for the semi-classical twists deforming the coalgebraic structure of $U({\mathfrak{sl}}_{3})$ and $U({\mathfrak{sl}}_{4})$ . In rank 2 and 3 the corresponding universal R-matrices quantize the boundary r-matrices of Cremmer–Gervais type defining Lie Frobenius structures on the maximal parabolic subalgebras in ${\mathfrak{sl}}_{n}$ .     

Why is \mathcal{CPT} Fundamental?

Lüders and Pauli proved the theorem based on Lagrangian quantum field theory almost half a century ago. Jost gave a more general proof based on “axiomatic” field theory nearly as long ago. The axiomatic point of view has two advantages over the Lagrangian one. First, the axiomatic point of view makes clear why is fundamental—because it is intimately related to Lorentz invariance. Secondly, the axiomatic proof gives a simple way to calculate the transform of any relativistic field without calculating , and separately and then multiplying them. The purpose of this pedagogical paper is to “deaxiomatize” the theorem by explaining it in a few simple steps. We use theorems of distribution theory and of several complex variables without proof to make the exposition elementary.     

Renormalisation of Φ4-Theory on Non-Commutative $$\mathbb{R}^{4}$$ to All Orders

We present the main ideas and techniques of the proof that the duality-covariant four-dimensional non-commutative ⁴-model is renormalisable to all orders. This includes the reformulation as a dynamical matrix model, the solution of the free theory by orthogonal polynomials as well as the renormalisation byflow equations involving power-counting theorems for ribbon graphs drawn on Riemann surfaces     

Superconductivity in the doped “pseudo-ladder” compound CaCu$_\mathsf{2}$O$_\mathsf{3}$

An effective anisotropic t-J model for the pseudo-ladder compound CaCu₂O₃ is proposed based on recent experimental studies and band structure calculations. Superconducting pairing mediated by the exchange interaction in the model is investigated as a function of doping away from the antiferromagnetic insulating state. It is shown that strong anisotropy in the electronic spectrum suppresses superconducting temperature in comparison with conventional copper-oxide superconductors with square lattices.     

The Decrease of the ESEEM Frequency of $${\text{P}}_{700}^{ + } {\text{A}}_{1}^{ - }$$ Ion-Radical Pair in Photosystem I Embedded in Trehalose Glassy Matrix at Room Temperature can be Explained by Acceleration of Spin–Lattice Relaxation

The main observation in this work is a decrease in the modulation frequency of the primary electron spin-echo decay (ESEEM) of the \({\text{P}}_{ 7 0 0}^{ + }\) cofactor in the reaction center of Photosystem I (PS I) from cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 embedded in dry trehalose matrix as the temperature rises from 150 K to room temperature. From the previous studies of the EPR spectrum shape of this system, it is known that, in dry trehalose matrix at room temperature, the distance between \({\text{P}}_{ 7 0 0}^{ + }\) and \({\text{A}}_{ 1}^{ - }\) spins does not increase compared to the distance measured in glycerol–water solution at cryogenic temperature. From the present ESEEM study, we conclude that the decrease of modulation frequency with rising temperature in trehalose matrix can be fully attributed to the influence of accelerated spin–lattice relaxation of \({\text{A}}_{ 1}^{ - }\). Our calculations show that this requires a decrease in the spin–lattice relaxation time from 3 to 1 μs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a shift in the ESEEM frequency due to the dipole–dipole interaction between the spins is observed that is caused by spin–lattice relaxation. Based on the above-mentioned results, we formulate a model of the protective effect of trehalose matrix on the electron transfer in the reaction center of PS I that is based on different hydrogen-bond networks between trehalose, local water, and protein.
