On the excitation of krypton

The populations of the 1s, 2p, and 3p levels of krypton have been determined. The electrical parameters of the glow discharge have been measured by the two-probe method. The oscillator strengths of 13 spectral lines of krypton were determined in the visible and near-infrared portions of the spectrum. Some conclusions are drawn regarding the character of excitation of the 2p and 3p levels of krypton.In conclusion, the authors wish to thank Prof. A. N. Tekuchev for valuable comments on the present paper.     

Omega- and Omega+ production in central Pb + Pb collisions at 40 and 158A GeV

Results are presented on Omega production in central Pb+Pb collisions at 40 and 158A GeV beam energy. For the first time in heavy ion reactions, rapidity distributions and total yields were measured for the sum Omega(-) + Omega(+) at 40A GeV and for Omega(-) and Omega(+) separately at 158A GeV. The yields are strongly underpredicted by the string-hadronic UrQMD model but agree better with predictions from hadron gas models.     

Peripheral fragmentation of 8B nuclei in nuclear emulsion at an energy of 1.2 GeV per nucleon

The results obtained by studying the charge topology of fragments produced in the peripheral dissociation of relativistic ⁸B nuclei in emulsion are presented. Fifty-five events of the peripheral dissociation of a ⁸B nucleus in events where there was no production of target-nucleus fragments and mesons (“white stars”) were selected. A leading contribution of the ⁸B → ⁷Be + p mode, which has the lowest energy threshold, was revealed on the basis of these events. Information about the branching ratios for dissociation modes characterized by a higher multiplicity was obtained. The dissociation of the ⁷Be core in ⁸B bears resemblance to the dissociation of a free ⁷Be nucleus. The transverse-momentum distributions of fragments originating from the ⁸B → ⁷Be + p dissociation mode were obtained. For these distributions, a small mean value of 〈P*_T〉 = 52 ± 5 MeV/c in the c.m. frame suggests a low binding energy of the outer proton in the ⁸B nucleus. An indication of a strong azimuthal correlation of the fragments ⁷Be and p was found.     

火焰辐射及偶丝导热对热电偶测温影响的数值分析

本文利用层流同向扩散乙烯火焰的数值模拟结果,根据所得的火焰温度场、气体速度场、火焰辐射场,分析火焰辐射、热电偶偶丝导热对热电偶测温的影响.结果表明在火焰的低温区火焰辐射要大于节点向外辐射,节点得到的能量要高于节点损失的能量,因此在火焰的低温区节点温度要高于当地的气体温度;同时直径为100μm的热电偶存在较大的导热,对节点温度测量有较大的影响.     

Formation of vanadia-titania oxide catalysts

The formation of vanadia-titania catalysts was studied with a complex of physicochemical methods. The use of highly dispersed anatase with a defect structure results in the formation of coherent boundaries of coalescence of the V₂O₅ and TiO₂ crystallites with the ratio V : Ti =1 : 1 in a wide range of vanadium and titanium concentrations. The catalysts containing coherent boundaries are active and selective in Β-picoline oxidation to nicotinic acid.
