Cosmic string in the BTZ black hole background with time-dependent tension

In this Letter, we study the equation of circular loops with time-dependent tension in the BTZ black hole background. We obtain various cases where cosmic string loops finally collapse to form black holes. Also, we study effect of the BTZ black hole mass and angular momentum on the evolution of cosmic string loops. We find the critical values of initial radii as a limit for the cosmic string loops collapsing to form black holes.     

Study of the <Superscript>12</Superscript>C (<Superscript>8</Superscript>B, <Superscript>7</Superscript>Be)<Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis> knockout reaction at intermediate energies

The breakup reactions of ⁸B on a ¹²C target at 142, 285, 790, and 936MeV/nucleon have been studied. One-proton-removal cross sections, leading to the production of ⁷Be fragments in the ground and first excited states (at 0.429MeV), and the longitudinal momentum distributions of the ⁷Be fragments are obtained in the Eikonal approximation of the Glauber Model. The results of the calculations including the contribution of the ⁷Be to the ground and first excited states of ⁸B are compared with the available experimental data. One-proton-removal cross section for the ¹²C(⁸B, ⁷Be)X knockout reaction at 142, 285, 790, and 936 MeV/nucleon energy has been calculated. ⁸B and ⁷Be cross sections and momentum distribution are in a good agreement with available data.     

Nuclear data for the cyclotron production of 117Sb and 90Nb

This presented study is to make comparison of cross sections to produce 117Sb and 90Nb via different reactions with particle incident energy up to 70 MeV as a part of systematic studies on particle-induced activations on enriched Sn, Y2O3 and ZrO2 targets, theoretical calculation of production yield, calculation of required thickness of target and suggestion of optimum reaction to produce Antimony-117 and Niobium-90.
