124Sn target residues in the interaction of heavy ions at intermediate energies

Cross sections, recoil energy distributions for residues produced by¹⁴N,²⁰Ne,⁴⁰Ar on¹²⁴Sn targets have been measured in the 10–70 MeV/u intermediate energy range. As the projectile energy increases, processes as complete fusion-evaporation, incomplete fusion-evaporation and intranuclear cascade-evaporation participate progressively in the nuclear collisions. Peculiar residues corresponding to a gain of 4, 5 or even 6 protons for the¹²⁴Sn target have been observed in the 30–50 MeV energy range.     

Etude d'impulsions lumineuses breves par interferometrie a deux ondes

We have studied the evolution of the light transmitted through matter in which an optical breakdown is taking place. With a two-waves interferometer made a birefringent plate between polarizers we get informations about the time correlation function of the fields. With an interferometer made of two identical harmonic generating plates separated by a dispersion medium, we learn about the correlation function of the square of the fields. Both systems act as spectral filters with a notch cosine-shaped centered at the incident frequency. We have also observed a transient angular spreading of the beam not previously emphasized which brings a further complication in the picture.     

Single-ion approach to the susceptibility of an intermediate valence compound paramagnetic Imse

The magnetic properties of an intermediate valence compound are discussed within a single-ion framework. The effects of configuration mixing, crystalline electric fields, and external magnetic fields are included in the hamiltonian. The method incorporates in one single consistent approach both coherent (quantum) and incoherent (thermal) fluctuations. Numerical evaluation of the susceptibility and field dependent magnetization with parameters appropriate for TmSe yields results in good agreement with experiment.     

On the convergence of the Zassenhaus formula

The domain of convergence of the Zassenhaus formula in a Banach algebra is studied. This domain is shown to be strictly larger than the one which was already known.     

Mössbauer study of Brazilian soapstone

Steatite mineral rocks, soapstone, have been studied by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopic analysis (modal analysis), electron probe micro analysis and Mössbauer spectroscopy for characterization, mineral percentages and chemical composition. Mössbauer spectra show both, magnetic interactions corresponding to magnetite and doublets corresponding to talc. chlorite, dolomite and tremolite. The temperature dependence of the quadrupole splitting in dolomite has been explained in terms of crystal field interaction.     

Excited state properties of 5H-dibenzo(a,d) cycloheptene

A number of photophysical properties of 5H-dibenzo(a,d) cycloheptene have been measured including the emission and triplet-triplet absorption spectra. The quantum yields and decay parameters for the triplet state of this molecule as a function of temperature have also been measured. The results are discussed and compared to those of molecules.     

Curvature Conditions for Immersions of Submanifolds and Applications

Some curvature conditions about the geodesics emanating from a submanifold are obtained. These conditions are used to to study the topological and geometric properties of the ambient spaces which admit some minimal submanifolds.     

On Non-Continuous Dirichlet Processes

We introduce here some Itô calculus for non-continuous Dirichlet processes. Such calculus extends what was known for continuous Dirichlet processes or for semimartingales. In particular we prove that non-continuous Dirichlet processes are stable under C ¹ transformation.     

Quantum Fourier Transform-Based Arithmetic Logic Unit on a Quantum Processor

This study proposes and construct a primitive quantum arithmetic logic unit (qALU) based on the quantum Fourier transform (QFT). The qALU is capable of performing arithmetic ADD (addition) and logic NAND gate operations. It designs a scalable quantum circuit and presents the circuits for driving ADD and NAND operations on two-input and four-input quantum channels, respectively. By comparing the required number of quantum gates for serial and parallel architectures in executing arithmetic addition, it evaluates the performance. It also execute the proposed quantum Fourier transform-based qALU design on real quantum processor hardware provided by IBM. The results demonstrate that the proposed circuit can perform arithmetic and logic operations with a high success rate. Furthermore, it discusses in detail the potential implementations of the qALU circuit in the field of computer science, highlighting the possibility of constructing a soft-core processor on a quantum processing unit.     

A value on ′AN

We prove here the existence of a value (of norm 1) on the spaces N A and even A N, the closure in the variation distance of the linear space spanned by all games f, where is a non-atomic, non-negative finitely additive measure of mass 1 and f a real-valued function on [0,1] which satisfies a much weaker continuity at zero and one. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. 90A08, 90A07This research was in part supported by the Belgian Programme on Interuniversity Poles of Attraction, initiated by the Prime Ministers Science Policy Office.
