The contribution of the (t(τ)+N) component to the α-particle wave function from data on the reactions p(α,pp)t and p(α,pn)τ at incident α-particle momentum 5 GeV/c

The 2-meter liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber is exposed to a separated beam of α particles from the ITEP synchrotron. The momentum of the incident ⁴He nuclei, averaged over the fiducial volume of the chamber, is 5 GeV/c (the kinetic energy of initial protons in the nucleus rest frame is T _p =620 MeV). The spectral functions of decays α→tp and α→τn) are extracted in the 4π geometry (the latter is extracted for the first time) from the exclusive reactions αp→tpp and αp→τpn in the spectator momentum region 0<q<0.3 GeV/c. The pole dominance criteria are carefully checked. Extrapolation of the nuclear vertex function to the pole gives a lower bound on the nuclear vertex constant. Our experimental data are compared with the results of other studies and with theoretical calculations. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.

The X-ray diffraction crystal structure determination and electron impact fragmentations of the gaseous ions of 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1-methyltriazene-1-oxide and its 3-methyl derivative

The decomposition of the gaseous positive ions of the title compounds obtained by electron impact have been completely mapped. The X-ray structural determinations of these two substances established their identity definitively and allowed to reveal some interesting features of these molecules of pharmaceutical interest.     

Widths and optimal quadrature formulas for convolution classes

We compute Kolmogorov widths in the space L₁ for classes of periodic functions representable in the form of a kernel convolution that does not increase the number of sign changes with values in a given transposition invariant set of functions, and solve the optimization problem for quadrature formulas in these classes.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 43, No. 9, pp. 1135–1148, September, 1991.     

Two- and three-dimensional analysis of bose-einstein correlations inπ +/K+p interactions at 250 GeV/c

The NA22 data onπ ^? π ^? correlations are analyzed in terms of a number of two- and three-dimensional parametrizations (Gaussian space-time, Goldhaber, Bowler string-like, Bertsch hydrodynamical, Kopylov-Podgoretskii, etc.). Contrary to the results obtained for e⁺e^? andµp collisions, the Goldhaber parametrization, as well as string-like models, fail in describing the hadron-hadron data. Better fits are obtained in the framework of surface-emitting fireball-like models, both when including and excluding hydrodynamical expansion of nuclear matter. Our results indicate that pion radiation occurs at earlier stages of matter evolution than in nuclear collisions.     

Particular cases of resonant tunneling in multibarrier quantum structures

An investigation was made of the resonance conditions in systems of one-dimensional potential barriers of a general kind. The types of systems are identified and the conditions determined which are necessary for observing a broad resonance in which the first three derivatives of the energy transmission coefficient are equal to zero. The conditions are found for observing an isolated resonance with complete transparency on a background of resonances with incomplete transparency.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 49–53, August, 1993.     

Polymorphism of biperiodic stripe domain structures

Magnetic-field-induced polymorphism of biperiodic stripe domain structures of films with a positive anisotropy constant and easy axis parallel to the normal to the surface is studied. A symmetry classification of the observed types of domain structures is performed, and the phase diagram of the films in the (H _⊥, H _∥) plane, where H _⊥ and H _∥ are, respectively, the components of the magnetic field vector perpendicular and parallel to the normal to the surface, is determined.

Asymptotic behavior of neutron small-angle multiple scattering spectra

The asymptotic behavior of the spectra for large values of the scattering vector for the case of elastic multiple small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is investigated theoretically and experimentally. An expansion of the spectrum in terms of the reciprocal of the magnitude of the momentum transfer is obtained taking account of the influence of the instrumental line. It is shown that, to within some factor, the leading term of the expansion is identical to the differential single-scattering cross section averaged over a statistical ensemble of particles; several subsequent terms in the expansion are calculated and the range of applicability of the resulting expressions is determined. The asymptotic behavior of the multiple SANS spectrum is measured, using a two-crystal neutron spectrometer, for samples of an HTSC ceramic, the alloy Fe-Ni, and Al powder. The agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions is analyzed. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 114, 2194–2203 (December 1998)
