Coulomb and nuclear interactions in the dynamics of weakly-bound neutron-halo breakup on heavy target

Within our aim to clarify some aspects of the breakup dynamics of loosely-bound neutron-halo projectiles on a heavy target,we apply the continuum discretized coupled-channel formalism to investigate the beryllium¹¹Be breakup on a lead²⁰⁸Pb target atE_lab=140 MeV incident energy.By evidencing that the continuum–continuum couplings are much stronger in the nuclear breakup than in the Coulomb breakup,we conclude that the strength of these couplings in the total breakup is dominated by the nuclear contribution,with the diagonal monopole nuclear potential in the projectile–target center-of-mass having negligible effect on the total and nuclear breakup cross-sections.For this kind of reaction,we show that the condition for the total breakup to approach its dominant component in the absorption region is strongly dependent on the continuum–continuum couplings and the diagonal monopole nuclear potential.     

High speed integrated RF–VLC data communication system: Performance constraints and capacity considerations

In this research paper, we propose a two-hop integrated radio frequency–visible light communication (RF–VLC) system which may provide a better option to transceive between the hospitals and some laboratory to transfer patient’s information. In the proposed system model, the data (such as patient’s lab test reports) is transmitted towards the amplify and forward (AF) relay mounted on the top of the hospital building via the RF channel. Further, the AF relay amplifies and converts the received information into corresponding optical signal using light emitting diodes (LED) and supporting circuitry. This optical signal is then forwarded towards the destination device (equipped with VLC transceiver), via the VLC channel. To analyse the performance of the system, we first derive the closed form analytical expressions for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the end-to-end (e2e) signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the system by using the moment generating function (MGF) of the SNR of the individual RF and VLC channels. Further, we use these statistical expressions to obtain the outage probability, average bit error rate (BER) and the average capacity of the system. Moreover, the asymptotic performance of the proposed system is also analysed to study the system’s behaviour at high SNR regimes. Finally, we studied the impact of the variations in channel parameters on the proposed system model performance through numerically simulated plots.     

Decision-directed Kalman particle filter with application to the MIMO phase noise channel

Demodulation of data transmitted over time-varying channels with a free running hidden Markov state, like the phase noise channel or the fading channel, requires that the receiver tracks the hidden channel state. The tracking technique adopted in the paper is based on non-data-aided sequential importance sampling, also known as particle filtering.The paper proposes a new particle filtering framework for data communication receivers based on an importance distribution such that each individual particle becomes a decision-directed Kalman filter relying upon its local symbol-by-symbol hard decisions. In this framework, different particles are left free to take different sequences of decisions. This leaves to the receiver the possibility of exploring different sequences of transmitted modulation symbols. The weight of the particle will be high for those particles that took in the past the correct sequence of decisions, while will be low for those particles that took wrong decisions. In the resampling procedure, particles with high weight will survive, while particles with low weight will be terminated, leaving space to the birth of new particles resampled from the surviving ones.The crucial point in importance sampling is the choice of the importance distribution and the main novelty of the paper is the proposal of an importance distribution such that the particles of the particle filter become decision-directed Kalman filters. One important benefit brought by our proposed method is that, being non-data-aided, it does not need pilot symbols, thus allowing to preserve the transmission rate. A significant application example, presented and developed in the paper, is constituted by MIMO systems affected by phase noise, where the channel state vector consists of many parameters.     

The magnet design for the HLS storage ring upgrade project

In order to improve the performance of the Hefei Light Source (HLS), in particular to get higher brilliance synchrotron radiation and increase the number of straight section insertion devices, an upgrade project called HLSII will be launched soon. The storage ring lattice, which has a double bend achromatic structure with four periods, comprises eight dipoles, 32 quadrupoles and 32 combined function sextupoles. The design and analysis of the magnets are shown in this paper, along with the optimization of the multipurpose combined function magnet, which consists of three magnets: skew quadrupole, horizontal dipole and vertical dipole, with the main sextupole magnet. This type of magnet is the first one that has been designed and used in China. The mechanical design and fabrication procedures for the magnets are also presented.     

Effects of electromigration on copper atoms in carbon nanotube channels

The effects of electromigration on copper in carbon nanotube (CNT) channels are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The study shows that the potential energy of copper and the resistive forces on copper are dependent on the shape of the CNT junction, and the increase in bias voltages magnifies these effects. Bias voltages affect the density of copper in the downstream CNT. The velocity of copper in the downstream CNT is relatively lower than that in the upstream CNT when the biased voltage is high.

卫星搭载紫花苜蓿种子的拉曼光谱分析

为了了解卫星搭载对紫花苜蓿种子化学特性的影响,揭示空间诱变机理,文章利用傅里叶变换拉曼光谱法对卫星搭载当代的紫花苜蓿种子进行了研究。结果表明,与地面对照相比,飞行组在358和553 cm-1处的峰强增加,814,1 122,1 531,1 743 cm-1处的峰强降低,通过谱带归属发现,增强的358和553 cm-1分别与DNA和Ca2+有关,降低的4个峰与糖类、脂类有关。这说明经过卫星搭载后,苜蓿种子的DNA和Ca2+的量出现增加趋势,糖类与脂类的量出现降低趋势。其可能原因是(1)种子主动修复诱变产生的DNA损伤时,消耗部分贮存能量所致;(2)空间飞行过程中的超重导致种子细胞内的Ca2+ 浓度升高;(3)飞行因子导致种子提前萌发,DNA大量合成与复制,种子储藏的能量提前降解消耗。这一结果将对苜蓿空间诱变机理研究有重要参考价值。
