Residual velocity distributions in complete and incomplete fusion reactions

Theoretical simulation of residual velocity distributions at various mass windows for complete and incomplete fusion reactions have been done for the system⁴⁰Ar+²⁴Mg at the incident energies of 1100, 800 and 600 MeV. The comparison of the residual velocity distributions enables us to have a qualitative understanding about the relative contributions of the complete and incomplete fusion processes in intermediate energy heavy ion reaction.     

Lifetime measurements for some levels in Be-like Cl XIV and S XIII

Lifetime measurements have been carried out for some low lying (n = 2) levels in the four-electron ions Cl XIV and S XIII using the beam-foil technique. Accurate oscillator strengths for the 2 s2 ¹ S - 2 s 2 p ¹ P o transition have been determined by the inclusion of prominent cascades in the analysis. Lifetimes of the levels of the 2 p2 ³ P j multiplet have also been measured for both ions. The results are compared with theoretical predictions and earlier measurements.

Utility of a global set of potential parameters from the orbit radii measurements of valence nucleons

On the basis of a unique set of one body potentials and a good interpolation formula we have calculated orbit radii of valence nucleons of different nuclei near the closed shells ranging from calcium to bismuth and have found good agreement with the experimental results, thus demanding its use as a global one.     

Permion spectrum in a confined SU(n) quark model

An explicit form of a colour-singlet Fermion field is constructed from the operator solution of SU(n) Thirring model where the quark-fields are known to be confined in LSZ sense. In simple cases of massless quarks these ferions are free with zero mass and can be expressed as the antisymmetric composites of constituent quark fields. This simple exercise suggests an alternative to conventional two-dimensional QCD which seems to confine all Fermion including baryons by Schwinger mechanism.     

Sensitized schiff's reagent as an acid-base indicator

The sensitized Schiff's reagent has been used as an indicator in the neutralization of strong acids by means of strong or weak bases. (1) Since the acid to alkali transition is much sharper than the reverse process, the titration is best done by adding alkali to the acid. (2) The results are compared with those of titrations using methyl orange as indicator. (3) The end-point is very sharp with sensitized Schiff's reagent, the transition taking place from a dull red colour to an abrupt rise in intensity. (4) Acids which are comparable in strengths or weaker than H₂SO₃ cannot be titrated with this reagent as indicator.     

Effects of cascade capture of non-equilibrium carriers on the faraday rotation in covalent semiconductors

Faraday rotation characteristics due to non-equilibrium electrons in a covalent semiconductor are obtained under the condition when the cascade capture of the carriers is effective. It is shown that the results obtained here are useful for estimating some capture parameters.     

Finite quantum field theory and neutrinodynamics

In quantum neutrinodynamics (photon-neutrino weak coupling) all the renormalization constants vanish and therefore the field equations cannot be expressed in terms of unrenormalized field quantities. This helps us to formulate quantum neutrinodynamics as a convergent quantum field theory. It is also pointed out that from the viewpoint of the unified model of weak and electromagnetic interaction as developed on the basis of the photon-neutrino weak coupling by Bandyopadhyay, quantum electrodynamics also manifests itself as a convergent field theory.
