Luminescence of self-trapped excitons in calcium fluoride under pulsed electron irradiation

Time-resolved pulsed spectroscopy was used to measure the luminescence spectra of calcium fluoride. Characteristic features of the luminescence of self-trapped excitons are discussed. It is shown that various configurations of self-trapped excitons incorporating hole nuclei of a more complex structure, may be formed in CaF₂ crystals. Fiz. Tverd.

On the optimization of approximate integration by Monte Carlo methods

We solve the problem of optimization of monte Carlo methods for approximate integration over an arbitrary absolutely continuous measure. We propose a convenient model of Monte Carlo methods which uses the notion of transition probability.     

Migration of molecules in p-bromochlorobenzene with vacancies in its structure

Based on polarization measurements of the low-frequency Raman spectra of p-bromochlorobenzene and calculations of the frequency spectra of lattice vibrations by the Dean method it is shown that the structure may contain vacancies. Their presence affects the appearance of additional lines in the low-frequency spectrum, particularly in the vicinity of 70 cm⁻¹, and their positions depend weakly on the orientational disorder of the molecules with respect to the para substituents. The activation energies for diffusion in a randomly disordered p-bromochlorobenzene crystal with vacancies in the structure is calculated from atom-atom potentials. It is shown that the value of the activation energy varies along a selected direction and depends on the arrangement of the p-bromochlorobenzene molecules with respect to the para substituents, in contrast to the results for ordered p-dibromobenzene and p-dichlorobenzene.

Multicriteria Goal Games

In this paper, we deal with multicriteria matrix games. Different solution concepts have been proposed to cope with these games. Recently, the concept of Pareto-optimal security strategy which assures the property of security in the individual criteria against an opponent's deviation in strategy has been introduced. However, the idea of security behind this concept is based on expected values, so that this security might be violated by mixed strategies when replications are not allowed. To avoid this inconvenience, we propose in this paper a new concept of solution for these games: the G-goal security strategy, which includes as part of the solution the probability of obtaining prespecified values in the payoff functions. Thus, attitude toward risk together with payoff values are considered jointly in the solution analysis.     

Creation of entangled states of excitons in coupled quantum dots

We present two methods for the creation of two-particle entangled states of excitons in a coupled quantum dot system. The system contains two identical quantum dots that are coupled by an inter-dot hopping process. The manipulation of the system is succeeded by proper application of an external laser field.     

Working group report: Flavor physics and model building

This is the report of flavor physics and model building working group at WHEPP-9. While activites in flavor physics have been mainly focused on B-physics, those in model building have been primarily devoted to neutrino physics. We present summary of working group discussions carried out during the workshop in the above fields, and also briefly review the progress made in some projects subsequently.

Isobar separation at FRS-ESR – a development towards pure isomeric stored beams

One important goal of the ILIMA project at FAIR is the study of masses and decay properties of relativistic isomeric beams stored and cooled in the planned storage-ring complex. A new scheme is described, where a storage-cooler ring is used for high-resolution mass separation. Experimental results on the separation of the isobaric pair ¹⁴⁰Pr-¹⁴⁰Ce are presented. P. Beller, deceased.     

On-line nuclear orientation study of184Au

The¹⁸⁴Au→¹⁸⁴Pt decay, studied on-line with the UNISOR facility at HHIRF, is discussed. Gamma-ray and conversion-electron spectroscopy of¹⁸⁴Pt as well as on-line nuclear orientation measurements of¹⁸⁴Au were done. A new low-lying level scheme of¹⁸⁴Pt is proposed. Two coexisting bands with different deformations and their respective γ-vibrational bands are established. Internal conversion coefficients for interband transitions between states with the same spin are extracted from the spectroscopy measurements. The relative E0 contents of the transitions are determined by combining internal conversion coefficients with E2/M1 mixing ratios deduced from gamma-ray anisotropies measured from oriented nuclei.
