Accurate measurement of pressure differences and the effect of baffle on pressure distribution in vacuum chamber during dynamic gas flow

The need to know the pressure in relatively large vacuum chambers arises at different measurements (calibration of vacuum gauges, outgassing measurements, etc.) and investigating the ways to minimize these pressure differences are of equal importance in such industrial as well as research applications. The experimental determination of the pressure differences between various gauge positions in a chamber of cylindrical shape and the effect of a baffle on pressure distribution are described in the paper. The pressure in the chamber was generated dynamically in the pressure range 0.1–133 Pa through adjustable gas flow into the chamber. Five identical capacitance diaphragm gauges (CDGs) were used in which one CDG remained fixed at the central position of the chamber while the other four (in two pairs) were mutually interchanged. The differences on the order of several percent between positions at different levels were calculated and the effect of the baffle was investigated which are specific for this chamber.     

Infrared saturation and phases of gauge theories with BRST symmetry

We investigate the infrared limit of the quantum equation of motion of the gauge boson propagator in various gauges and models with a BRST symmetry. We find that the saturation of this equation at low momenta distinguishes between the Coulomb, Higgs and confining phase of the gauge theory. The Coulomb phase is characterized by a massless gauge boson. Physical states contribute to the saturation of the transverse equation of motion of the gauge boson at low momenta in the Higgs phase, while the saturation is entirely due to unphysical degrees of freedom in the confining phase. This corollary to the Kugo–Ojima confinement criterion in linear covariant gauges also is sufficient for confinement in general covariant gauges with BRST and anti-BRST symmetry, maximal Abelian gauges with an equivariant BRST symmetry, non-covariant Coulomb gauge and in the Gribov–Zwanziger theory.     

Gauge transformations and quantum mechanics II. Physical interpretation of classical gauge transformations

New gauges are introduced. The potentials, vector and scalar, in these gauges are obtained in closed forms by the Green's function method. These closed form solutions are explicity expressed only in terms of the charge and current densities. The physical interpretation is on how potentials propagate from the charge and current densities. The Coulomb gauge and the Lorentz gauge are special cases of a new gauge defined in this paper. It is called the complete α-Lorentz gauge. The scalar potential propagates at speed αc from the charge density for any positive α. When α is one, the usual solutions for the Lorentz gauge are recovered. When α is not one, our results show that, in order to satisfy the requirement that electromagnetic fields be gauge invariant and in order to conform to Maxwell's interpretation that electromagnetic fields propagate at speed c from the charge and current densities (we only consider the vacuum), the vector potential must contain two mathematically and physically independent gradient components. Furthermore, one such component must propagate at speed αc while the other must at speed c from charge and current densities. Our discussions on the Coulomb gauge are based on the results obtained by letting α go to (positive) infinity. Guided by Maxwell's interpretation, we introduce a new decomposition of the vector potential in the Lorentz gauge into a longitudinal and a transverse component. For an arbitrary charge and current distribution, it is shown that the transverse component will generate all the fields only in the radiation zone. However, for a point charged particle, the transverse component only generates the “free fields”everywhere in the instantaneous rest frame of the charged particle.     

Adiabatic pumping in the mixed-valence and Kondo regimes

We investigate adiabatic pumping through a quantum dot with a single level in the mixed-valence and Kondo regimes using the slave boson mean field approximation. The pumped current is driven by a gauge potential due to time-dependent tunneling barriers as well as by the modulation of the Friedel phase. The sign of the former contribution depends on the strength of the Coulomb interaction. Under finite magnetic fields, the separation of the spin and charge currents peculiar to the Kondo effect occurs.     

Gauge invariance properties of transition amplitudes in gauge theories. I

The functional approach developed earlier for scattering theory in quantum field theory makes it possible to make an explicit and complete study of the gauge invariance properties oftransition amplitudes (not just of the gauge transformations of Green's functions) in covariant and noncovariant gauges. This paper is devoted to the Abelian gauge theory of quantum electrodynamics. Using the powerful technique of functional differentiation and starting from the Coulomb gauge, the gauge invariance property of transition amplitudes,up to gauge-dependent scaling factors, isexplicitly established in arbitrary gauges. The key ingredients in the analysis are the derived exact expression for the vacuum-to-vacuum transition amplitude, introducing in the process arbitrary gauges, and the idea of stimulated emissions by external sources studied earlier.     

Reduced Hamiltonian for intersecting shells

The gauge usually adopted for extracting the reduced Hamiltonian of a thin spherical shell of matter in general relativity, becomes singular when dealing with two or more intersecting shells. We introduce here a more general class of gauges which is apt for dealing with intersecting shells. As an application we give the Hamiltonian treatment of two intersecting shells, both massive and massless. Such a formulation is applied to the computation of the semiclassical tunneling probability of two shells. The probability for the emission of two shells is simply the product of the separate probabilities thus showing no correlation in the emission probabilities in this model.     

Constructing non-perturbative gauges using correlation functions

Gauge fixing in the non-perturbative domain of non-Abelian gauge theories is obstructed by the Gribov-Singer ambiguity. To compare results from different methods it is necessary to resolve this ambiguity explicitly. Such a resolution is proposed using conditions on correlation functions for a family of non-perturbative Landau gauges. As a consequence, the various results available for correlation functions could possibly correspond to different non-perturbative Landau gauges, discriminated by an additional non-perturbative gauge parameter. The proposal, the necessary assumptions, and evidence from lattice gauge theory calculations, are presented in detail.     

Extreme-ultraviolet spectral purity and magnetic ion debris mitigation by use of low-density tin targets

We investigate the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) emission from targets that contain tin as an impurity and the advantages of using these targets for ion debris mitigation by use of a magnetic field. The EUV spectral features were characterized by a transmission grating spectrograph. The in-band EUV emission energy was measured with a calorimeter of absolute calibration. The ion flux coming from the plume was measured with a Faraday cup. Our studies indicate that 0.5% Sn density is necessary to obtain a conversion efficiency very close to that of full-density Sn. The use of Sn-doped low-Z targets provides a narrower unresolved transition array and facilitates better control of energetic ions in the presence of a moderate magnetic field of 0.64 T.     

Propagation of self-gravitating density waves in the deDonder gauge: the physical importance of gauge solutions and the problem of initial conditions

The propagation of perturbations on a spatially flat Robertson-Walker background is studied within linear perturbation theory in deDonder gauge and for comparison in synchronous gauge. The metric perturbations should be determined uniquely by the density/pressure perturbations, therefore only two initial conditions, namely for the density contrast and its time derivative, should be needed. Since the number of fundamental solutions for the density perturbations is higher than 2 in both gauges (6 resp. 3) an additional reduction of possible initial conditions, resp. a physically motivated exclusion of solutions, is needed. It is shown that the common treatment of excluding the so-called gauge solutions (solutions which can be gauged to zero in an already chosen gauge) leads to unphysical results. If gauge solutions are excluded the density perturbation solutions are the same in both gauges. But the correct Newtonian limit — which is present in deDonder gauge but not in synchronous gauge — is bound to the differences in the two gauges for large spatial scales of perturbations. Furthermore, compressional wave solutions should vanish for infinite spatial scales of perturbations (isotropy), but this is guaranteed in deDonder gauge by gauge solutions again. Gauge solutions should therefore not be taken as unphysical.

Optical strain gauge vs. traditional strain gauges for concrete elasticity modulus determination

In the field of Civil Engineering, the evaluation of concrete elasticity modulus relies heavily on traditional strain gauges like electric resistance strain gauge, demec mechanical strain and compressometer. These strain gauges work pretty well but the sample surface preparation and the strain gauge adhesion are tedious and time-consuming. On the other hand, convenient non-destructive testing methods like rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity have the disadvantage of large data scattering and low reliability. In this paper, we aim to develop a handy, reliable and cost-effective method for concrete property evaluation based on an optical technique called automatic digital image correlation (ADIC), which acts as an optical strain gauge. By incorporating an automatic searching approach, the proposed ADIC greatly expands the convergence range of normal digital image correlation (DIC) algorithms and is able to automatically determine concrete strain in real time without human interaction. After the optical strain gauge is set up, the axial concrete strain as well as the stress-strain curve is plotted in real time when the concrete sample under testing is loaded. The concrete elasticity modulus is then determined from the curve. A series of experiments have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed optical strain gauge. Comparisons are also carried out between the proposed optical strain gauge and traditional strain gauges such as electronic strain gauge, compressometer and demec mechanical strain gauge, which further confirm the accuracy, convenience and reliability of the proposed technique.     

Beam induced vacuum measurement error in BEPC II

When the beam in BEPCII storage ring aborts suddenly, the measured pressure of cold cathode gauges and ion pumps will drop suddenly and decrease to the base pressure gradually. This shows that there is a beam induced positive error in the pressure measurement during beam operation. The error is the difference between measured and real pressures. Right after the beam aborts, the error will disappear immediately and the measured pressure will then be equal to real pressure. For one gauge, we can fit a non-linear pressure-time curve with its measured pressure data 20 seconds after a sudden beam abortion. From this negative exponential decay pumping-down curve, real pressure at the time when the beam starts aborting is extrapolated. With the data of several sudden beam abortions we have got the errors of that gauge in different beam currents and found that the error is directly proportional to the beam current, as expected. And a linear data-fitting gives the proportion coefficient of the equation, which we derived to evaluate the real pressure all the time when the beam with varied currents is on.     

Impulsive cylindrical gravitational wave: one possible radiative form emitted from cosmic strings and corresponding electromagnetic response

In a previous work, we presented a new method to account for the Gribov ambiguities in non-Abelian gauge theories. The method consists on the introduction of an extra constraint which directly eliminates the infinitesimal Gribov copies without the usual geometric approach. Such strategy allows one to treat gauges with non-hermitian Faddeev–Popov operator. In this work, we apply this method to a gauge which interpolates among the Landau and maximal Abelian gauges. The result is a local and power counting renormalizable action, free of infinitesimal Gribov copies. Moreover, the interpolating tree-level gluon propagator is derived.     

Gauge Transformation and Constraint Induced Operator Ordering for Charged Rigid Planar Rotator in Uniform Magnetic Field

When the motion of a particle is constrained, excess terms exist using hermitian form of Cartesian momentum pi （i=1, 2,3） in usual kinetic energy （1/2/μ）∑ pi^2 , and the correct kinetic energy turns out to be （1/2μ） ∑1/ fipi f ipi, where fi are dummy factors in classical mechanics and nontrivial in quantum mechanics. In this paper the explicit form of the dummy functions fi is given for a charged rigid planar rotator in the uniform magnetic field with different gauge chosen. Under different gauges, we have different sets of dummy factors. It means that these factors do not have direct observable effect.     

Ion and electron emission characteristics at potential barrier modulation

Amplifying discharge instabilities in the emission channel of a plasma electron emitter

We consider the amplification of oscillations of the plasma parameters in the emission channel of an electron source with a plasma emitter. The relationship between the modulation level of the emission current and the oscillations of the concentration and potential of the emitting plasma is determined. The amplification of the discharge instabilities is seen to be a function of the ratio of the size of the boundary layer in the channel to the channel radius. The amplification factor is calculated as a function of the emission current and the accelerating voltage. The change in the plasma parameters at the emission boundary for a plasma shift in the channel is taken into account.Tomsk Academy of Control Systems and Electronics.

Simulation of electron behavior in PIG ion source for 9 MeV cyclotron

In this paper, we focus on a PIG source for producing intense H-ions inside a 9 MeV cyclotron. The properties of the PIG ion source were simulated for a variety of electric field distributions and magnetic field strengths using a CST particle studio. After analyzing the secondary electron emission (SEE) as a function of both magnetic and electric field strengths, we found that for the modeled PIG geometry, a magnetic field strength of 0.2 T provided the best results in terms of the number of secondary electrons. Furthermore, at 0.2 T, the number of secondary electrons proved to be greatest regardless of the cathode potential. Also, the modified PIG ion source with quartz insulation tubes was tested in a KIRAMS-13 cyclotron by varying the gas flow rate and arc current, respectively. The capacity of the designed ion source was also demonstrated by producing plasma inside the constructed 9 MeV cyclotron. As a result, the ion source is verified as being capable of producing an intense H^- beam and high ion beam current for the desired 9 MeV cyclotron. The simulation results provide experimental constraints for optimizing the strength of the plasma and final ion beam current at a target inside a cyclotron.
