The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is being upgraded with a novel four-layer silicon vertex
tracker. The detector will enhance the physics capabilities of PHENIX in the future phase of the heavy-ion and the polarized
proton-proton programs at RHIC. The silicon vertex tracker will allow the direct measurement of heavy quark production by
identifying displaced decay vertices, and will reconstruct jets with nearly full azimuthal coverage over |η| < 1.2. We are
developing a novel Silicon Pixel Detector for the inner two barrel layers of the silicon vertex tracker. In this paper, the
status of the development is reported.

The PHENIX detector at RHIC has been designed to study hadronic and leptonic signatures of the Quark Gluon Plasma in heavy
ion collisions and spin dependent structure functions in polarized proton collisions. The baseline detector measures muons
in two muon spectrometers located forward and backward of mid-rapidity, and measures hadrons, electrons, and photons in two
central spectrometer arms, each of which covers 90. in azimuth and 0.35 units of rapidity. Further progress requires extending
rapidity coverage for hadronic and electromagnetic signatures by upgrading the functionality of the PHENIX muon spectrometers
to include photon and jet measurement capabilities. Tungsten calorimeters with silicon pixel readout and fine transverse and
longitudinal segmentation are proposed to attain this goal. The use of such a design provides the highest density and finest
granularity possible in a calorimeter.

The forward spectrometer upgrade of the PHENIX detector aims to add capabilities at forward rapidities to: probe nucleon structure
through W production and promptphotons in polarized p + p, study nucleon structure in nuclei at high parton densities in p
+ A collisions through the measurement of γ and π0 in the forward region, greatly extend the acceptance for high p
T γ-jet measurements (jet tomography) in A + A, and increase our capabilities to measure the production quarkonium states by
giving sensitivity to the χ
c
through the J/ψ + γ channel.

New physics interactions can affect the strength and structure of the tbW vertex. We investigate the magnitudes and phases of “anomalous” contributions to this vertex in a two-Higgs doublet and the
minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, and in a top-color assisted technicolor (TC2) model. While the magnitudes
of the anomalous couplings remain below 1 percent in the first two models, TC2 interactions can reduce the left-chiral coupling
f
L by several percent. 相似文献

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is a fixed-target heavy-ion experiment planned at GSI's future international
Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). CBM will study strongly interacting matter at high baryon densities where
the QCD phase diagram is poorly known. The experiment applies a detector concept new to heavy-ion physics: All charged particles
as well as secondary vertices from heavy-flavor decays are exclusively reconstructed in a high-performance silicon tracking
system. It will be installed in a magnetic dipole field between the target and further detection systems for particle identification
and calorimetry. High track densities and high collision rates require the application of most advanced silicon detectors.
The technological challenges include high position resolution in thinnest possible pixel and microstrip sensors, combined
with extreme radiation hardness, fast self-triggered readout and ultra low-mass mechanical supports. The article outlines
the physics and detector concept of CBM and discusses the performance requirements of the silicon tracker and the beginning
R&D.

A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) is the only experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) dedicated to the study of
heavy ion collisions. The Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is the main tracking detector covering the pseudo rapidity range |η|
< 0.9. It is designed for a maximum multiplicity dN/dy = 8000. The aim of the laser system is to simulate ionizing tracks at predifined positions throughout the drift volume in
order to monitor the TPC response to a known source. In particular, the alignment of the read-out chambers will be performed,
and variations of the drift velocity due to drift field imperfections can be measured and used as calibration data in the
physics data analysis. In this paper we present the design of the pulsed UV laser and optical system, together with the control
and monitoring systems.

I summarize results recently obtained in collaboration with Amelino-Camelia, Bruno and Mandanici (preprint University of Rome
“La Sapienza”, August, 2005) that concern an analysis of the path of a massless particle in a q-de Sitter space-time and an approximation scheme suitable for the corresponding analysis in a quantum FRW Universe. On the
basis of some arguments in the quantum-gravity literature, the q deformation parameter is assumed to depend on both the Planck scale and the curvature, leading to results that are significantly
different from those of other studies of Planck-scale effects in cosmology, where the possibility of an interplay between
curvature and Planck scale was ignored.

The equilibrium distribution of a Lorentz gas (“electrons”) interacting with an inhomogenous thermostat (“atoms”) is examined
with consideration of 1) the concept of volumes available and forbidden for the gas particles and 2) the solution of the kinetic
equation. Analytical calculations for “electrons” and “atoms” repelling each other with the force ≈r−5 (where r is the distance between the particles) have shown that the coordinate- and velocity-dependent variables in the distribution
function cannot be separated. In particular, this leads to the dependence of the average kinetic energy per “electron” on
the coordinate: it is higher in the region with higher density of the “atoms”. It is assumed that the Gibbs distribution does
not describe the properties of the system under consideration, because in this case the interaction between the system and
thermostat cannot be considered small.

We contemplate the pair of the purely imaginary delta-function potentials on a finite interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
The two parameter model exhibits nicely the expected quantitative features of the unavoided level crossing and of a “phase-transition”
complexification of the energies. Combining analytic and numerical techniques we investigate strength- and position-dependence
of spectrum.

We study systematically the general properties of theB-extension of any integrable model and its properties as Hamiltonian structures etc. We clarify the origin of “exotic” changes
in such models. We show that in such models there exist at least two sets of non-local conserved charges and that the “exotic”
charges are part of this non-local charge hierarchy.

The extension of coordinate-velocity space with noncommutative algebra structure is proposed. For action of fractional mechanics
considered on such a space the respective Euler-Lagrange equations are derived via minimum action principle. It appears that
equations of motion in the noncommutative framework do not mix left and right derivatives thus being simple to solve at least
in the linear case. As an example, two models of oscillator with fractional derivatives are studied.

The PHENIX forward upgrade adds nosecone calorimeters and level-1 trigger (LVL-1) detectors to the muon forward spectrometers.
The muon detector will trigger on high pT muons from W decay and reject background. This will enable study of quark and anti-quark polarizations in the proton. The
upgrade will add momentum and timing information to the present muon trigger. Signals from 3 Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs)
will provide momentum and timing information for the LVL-1 trigger. Each RPC carries a plane with coarse structure to establish
a space point for timing and one with radial cathode strips for azimuthal resolution. Timing resolution of ≈ 2 ns rejects
beam-related backgrounds and tracking from RPCs minimizes muons from hadron decays. RPC information is sent by optical. bers
to LVL-1 trigger processors. A discussion of physics measurements possible, layout of the upgrade and details of RPC design
and tests are given below.

The phase transition “triangular lattice-vortex liquid” in layered high-T
c
superconductors in the presence of pinning centers is studied. A two-dimensional system of vortices simulating the superconducting
layers in a high-T
c
Shubnikov phase is calculated by the Monte Carlo method. It was found that in the presence of defects the melting of the
vortex lattice proceeds in two stages: First, the ideal triangular lattice transforms at low temperature (≃3 K)into islands
which are pinned to the pinning centers and rotate around them and then, at a higher temperature (≃8 K for T
c
584 K), the boundaries of the “islands” become smeared and the system transforms into a vortex liquid. As the pinning force
increases, the temperatures of both phase transitions shift: The temperature of the point “triangular lattice-rotating lattice”
decreases slightly (to ≃2 K)and the temperature of the phase transition “rotating lattice-vortex liquid” increases substantially
(≃70 K).

The Li-Kardar field theory approach is generalized to wetting smectic films and the “elastic” fluctuation-induced interaction
is obtained between the external flat bounding surface and distorted IA (isotropic liquid-smectic A) interface acting as an
“internal” (bulk) boundary of the wetting smectic film under the assumption that the IA interface is essentially “softer”
than the surface smectic layer. This field theory approach allows calculating the fluctuation-induced corrections in Hamiltonians
of the so-called “correlated” liquids confined by two surfaces, in the case where one of the bounding surfaces is “rough”
and with different types of surface smectic layer anchoring. We obtain that in practice, the account of thermal displacements
of the smectic layers in a wetting smectic film reduces to the addition of two contributions to the IA interface Hamiltonian.
The first, so-called local contribution describes the long-range thermal “elastic” repulsion of the fluctuating IA interface
from the flat bounding surface. The second, so-called nonlocal contribution is connected with the occurrence of an “elastic”
fluctuation-induced correction to the stiffness of the IA interface. An analytic expression for this correction is obtained. 相似文献

Large piezoelectric d33 coefficients around 600 pC/N are found in corona-charged non-uniform electrets consisting of elastically “soft” (microporous
polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE) and “stiff” (perfluorinated cyclobutene PFCB) polymer layers. The piezoelectric activity of
the two-layer fluoropolymer stack exceeds the d33 coefficient of the ferroelectric ceramic lead zirconate titanate (PZT) by more than a factor of two and that of the ferroelectric
polymer polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) by a factor of 20. Soft piezoelectric materials may become interesting for a large
number of sensor and transducer applications, in areas such as security systems, medical diagnostics, and nondestructive testing.

This paper discusses the thickness-roughness phase diagram of a three-layer system consisting of two ferromagnetic layers
separated by an antiferromagnetic interlayer. It is shown that the stability region of single-domain ferromagnetic layers
is determined by the ratio between the width of the atomic steps that appear at the interfaces of the layers during their
growth and the thicknesses of the layers, and also by the values of the interlayer and intralayer exchange interactions. A
basis is provided for the phenomenological “magnetic closeness” model proposed by Slonczewski, and an expression is obtained
for the constants of this model.

January and March 1938, just prior to his mysterious disappearance. We discuss, in particular, the recently discovered Moreno
Lecture Notes, in which all of Majorana’s lectures are recorded, six of which are not present in those that are preserved
in the Domus Galilaeana in Pisa, Italy.
