Some features of solar wind protons, α particles and heavy ions behaviour: The Prognoz 7 and Prognoz 8 experimental results

The paper describes the results of investigations of the solar wind ions, carried out on board the high apogee Prognoz 7 and Prognoz 8 Earth's satellites with the aid of an SKS instrument (USSR) and a Monitor instrument (USSR-SSR). Behaviour of proton and that of components on the front of Earth's bow and interplanetary shock waves were compared by means of the energoanalysis and energy-mass analysis techniques. In several long-term periods of observation the solar wind heavy ions — oxygen, silicon and iron were determined. It enabled us to estimate the solar corona chemical composition and electron temperature.Presented at the 5th General Assembly IAGA/IAMAP August 5–17, 1985, Prague, Czechoslovakia.     

Temperature dependence of development of slip bands and of strain hardening in AgCl crystals

The dependence of the flow stress and the slip band density on the plastic strain has been measured at 201 K, 293 K and 363 K. The growth of deformation concentrated in an average slip band has been stated. The types of obstacles acting against the rise and development of a slip band and the temperature dependence of the strain hardening in AgCl crystals are discussed. An equation stating the dependence of the flow stress on the slip band density is presented. The hardening in AgCl crystals is classified as the stage III — hardening.     

Hahn-Jordan decomposition for gleason measures

The possibility of the Hahn-Jordan decomposition forn-finite signed measures, wheren is a cardinal, defined on a quantum logic of all closed subspaces of a Hilbert space whose dimension is a nonmeasurable cardinal 2, is investigated.     

Dynamical systems with relaxation time

We define mathematically a class of dynamical systems that exhibit relaxation corresponding to that observed in physical systems, and then show that this class is identical with the class ofK-mixing dynamical systems.     

160Tb nuclear orientation in yttrium single crystal

First experimental results of¹⁶⁰Tb nuclear orientation in yttrium single crystal matrix are described. The influence of external magnetic field in combination with the crystal field interaction is discussed.     

Path integrals on half-line

In the framework of path integrals we present a solution to the Schrödinger equation for a free particle confined to the half-linex > 0. A solution in question corresponds to the boundary condition (/x) (0,t)= (0,t) where is a real constant.     

Restoration of multiplicity scaling in high energy proton-proton and antiproton-proton collisions

The energy dependent parameter characterizing the leading particle effect allows to restore the scaling in proton-proton and antiproton-proton multiplicity distributions from Serpukhov until highest available CERN \(S \bar ppS\) collider energies. The identification of theoretical second dispersions with the experimental ones represents one of the basic ingredients in the quantum statistical bosonic approach applied in the present contribution. The KNO scaling at the ISR energies as well as the Worblewski relation for the second dispersions at the \(S \bar ppS\) collider energies arise quite naturally; similar phenomena might appear at higher energies too. Some predictions for 2 and 10 TeV cms energies are specified.     

Simple functional-differential equations for the bound-state wave-function components

We present a new method of a direct derivation of differential equations for the wave-function components of identical-pariticles systems. The method generates in a simple manner all the possible variants of these equations. In some cases they are the differential equations of Faddeev of Yakubovskii. It is shown that the case of the bound states allows to formulate very simple equations for the components which are equivalent to the Schrödinger equation for the complete wave function. The components with a minimal antisymmetry are defined and the corresponding equations are derived.     

Do solid surface potential barriers retard convoy peak electrons?

Using a coaxial cylindric electron spectrometer and an electrostatic ion energy analyzer in tandem, a direct measurement of the difference of the energy of convoy peak electron and the electron equivalent ion energy of protons emerging from the downstream surface of C, Au and Al foils is performed in the proton energy range from 60 to 250 keV. This measurement is made possible using the accepted evidence that for a gas target these energies are equal. It is found that also for the beam foil convoy peak electrons, within an experimental average uncertainty of about ±0.1 eV, there is no difference between these energies. If one accepts that the origin of convoy electrons is from inside the solid, the conclusion is that no retardation by the solid surface potential barrier, which is of the order of a few eV, is observed. This is attributed to the strong electron-ion Coulomb interaction which almost completely overshadows the force exerted on the electron by the field of the surface barrier.
