The effect of tensor correlations on isovector operators

Very simple relations between renormalization factors and corrections to the GT-typeΒ-decay operator, isovector magnetic moment and coulomb energy differences between mirror nuclei due to tensor correlations are obtained.     

Photon statistics of laser light scattered by motile spermatozoa

The intensity of laser light scattered by swimming spermatozoa is experimentally determined to obey a gaussian distribution. This is due to the fact that the fluctuations of the electric susceptabilities of the sperm system accord with gaussian statistics. The result is obtained from the light intensity correlation data and the photoelectron counting distribution with a photoelectron counting technique. It also gives us the justification of the usual process in light intensity correlation spectroscopy of swimming spermatozoa when we get the susceptibility correlation function from the experimentally obtainable intensity correlation function.     

Laser ablation synthesis of monodispersed magnetic alloy nanoparticles

Monodispersed CoPt alloy nanoparticles were synthesized by a pulsed laser ablation (PLA) technique coupled with a low-pressure operating differential mobility analyzer (LP-DMA). The CoPt alloy nanoparticles were generated by laser ablating a solid Co–Pt target. In CoPt alloy nanoparticles synthesized from a target with a Co composition of 75 at%, the nanoparticle surfaces were covered by an oxide layer and exhibited a core-shell structure. In contrast, no shell was observed in particles generated from a target with a Co:Pt ratio of 50:50 at%. According to an EDX analysis, the compositions of the individual nanoparticles were almost the same as that of the target material. Finally, the magnetic hysteresis loops of the CoPt alloy nanoparticles exhibited ferromagnetism.     

T-violation neutron experiment and polarized3He

An experimental scheme of the spin detailed balance in polarized neutron transmission through a polarized nuclear target is discussed for the T-violation test. The value of the spin detailed balance is estimated by using the data of the scattering amplitudes. The nuclear polarizations of proton,³He and¹³⁹La are discussed for the T-violation experiment.     

Quarkonia at Finite T: An Approach Based On QCD Sum Rules and the Maximum Entropy Method

Quarkonium spectral functions at finite temperature are studied, making use of a recently developed method of analyzing QCD sum rules by the maximum entropy method. This approach enables us to directly obtain the spectral function from the sum rules, without having to introduce any specific assumption about its functional form. QCD sum rules for heavy quarkonia incorporate finite temperature effects in form of changing values of the various gluonic condensates that appear in the operator product expansion. These changes depend on the energy density and pressure at finite temperature, which we extract from quenched lattice QCD calculations. As a result, it is found that the charmonium ground states of both S-wave and P-wave channels dissolve into the continuum already at temperatures around or slightly above the critical temperature T _c , while the bottomonium states are less influenced by temperature effects, surviving up to about 2.5 T _c or higher for S-wave and about 2.0 T _c for P-wave states.     

Study of γ d → π + π − d Reaction in an Energy Region of 0.67 ≤ E γ ≤ 1.08 GeV

Double charged pion photoproductions from the deuteron have been studied at Research Center for Electron Photon Science (ELPH), Tohoku University. Tagged photon beams in an energy range of 0.67 ≤ E _γ ≤ 1.08 GeV were impinged on the liquid deuteron target. Produced charged particles were observed with the Neutral Kaon Spectrometer2 (NKS2). The γ d → π ⁺ π ^? d process was clearly separated among the three charged tracks. We obtained the photon energy dependence of the normalized yields of this process.     

Recoil-limited laser cooling of 87Sr atoms near the Fermi temperature

A dynamic magneto-optical trap, which relies on the rapid randomization of population in Zeeman substates, has been demonstrated for fermionic strontium atoms on the 1S0-3P1 intercombination transition. The obtained sample, 1x10(6) atoms at a temperature of 2 microK in the trap, was further Doppler cooled and polarized in a far-off resonant optical lattice to achieve 2 times the Fermi temperature.     

Experimental demonstration and stochastic modeling of autonomous formation of nanophotonic droplets

We have previously demonstrated a novel technique for autonomously forming a nanophotonic droplet, which is micro-scale spherical polymer structure that contains paired heterogeneous nanometric components. The sort-selectivity and alignment accuracy of the nanometric components in each nanophotonic droplet, and the related homogeneity of the optical function, are due to a characteristic pairing process based on a phonon-assisted photo-curing method. The proposed method requires irradiating a mixture of components with light to induce optical near-field interactions between each component, and subsequent processes based on these interactions. The pairing yield of components via the interactions is considered to mainly depend on the frequency of their encounters and the size-resonance effect between encountered components. In this paper, we model these two factors by individual stochastic procedures and construct a numerical model to describe the pairing process. Agreement between the results of numerical and experimental demonstrations shows the validity of our stochastic modeling.     

绿肥对华北潮土土壤可溶性有机物的影响

在华北潮土上种植不同绿肥,于绿肥翻压前原位采集其地上部及土壤样品,进行56d的绿肥翻压模拟试验。设毛叶苕子(Vicia villosa Roth.)、二月兰(Orychophragmus Violaceus L.)、黑麦(Secale cereale L.)三个绿肥处理和无绿肥对照处理,分析培养过程中土壤可溶性有机物(DOM)组分及其紫外-可见光谱参数的变化,以探究绿肥对土壤DOM的影响。种植和翻压绿肥增加土壤可溶性有机碳(DOC)、总有机酸碳(TOAs)和总碳水化合物碳(TCs)含量,三者的变化趋势一致,各处理均在培养第1 d上升至峰值后迅速下降。毛叶苕子提高DOC和TOAs的效果最好,最高比对照增加114.01%(培养第1d)和109.10%(培养第14 d)。黑麦提高TCs的效果最好,最高比对照增加323.18%(培养第42 d)。种植和翻压绿肥增加土壤可溶性有机氮(DON)含量,与DOC变化趋势不同,各处理在培养第1 d上升后迅速下降一段时间后又迅速上升。毛叶苕子提高DON的效果最好,最高比对照增加305.83%(培养第42d)。绿肥增加了SUVA₂₅₄,SUVA₂₆₀,SUVA₂₇₂,SUVA₂₈₀,SAUC_240-400,降低了A₂₅₀/A₃₆₅和A₂₄₀/A₄₂₀。紫外-可见光谱参数的主成分分析显示SUVA₂₅₄,SUVA₂₆₀,SUVA₂₇₂,SUVA₂₈₀间有很高正相关性,A₂₅₀/A₃₆₅和A₂₄₀/A₄₂₀间亦有很高正相关性,SAUC_240-400是这些参数中表征DOM性质的关键因子。综上结果表明,种植翻压绿肥增加了土壤DOM含量,提高了土壤DOM的芳香性、疏水性、腐殖化程度、平均分子量,增加了土壤DOM的稳定性。     

Phase rotation scheme of laser-produced ions for reduction of the energy spread

In order to widely spread out particle beams utilized in cancer therapy, laser-produced ions are developed as the injection beam for an ion synchrotron dedicated for cancer therapy. Such a laser ion source is expected to contribute largely to the realization of compactness of the size and low cost of the cancer therapy accelerator. The energy spectrum of the laser-produced ions, however, has no peak, but their intensities decrease exponentially according to the increase of the energy. For the purpose of modifying such a situation, we have proposed a scheme to rotate the beam in the longitudinal phase space with the use of the RF electric field, which is phase-adjusted with the pulse laser. We aim for a reduction of the energy spread of ± 5% selected by an energy analyzer and slits to ±1% by such phase rotation. For this purpose, a quarter wavelength resonator with two gaps with the same resonant frequency as the source laser has already been fabricated, together with its RF power source. The above phase rotation system and its recent experimental realization are presented.
