Freeze-out volume in multifragmentation --Dynamical simulations

Stochastic mean-field simulations for multifragmenting sources at the same excitation energy per nucleon have been performed. The freeze-out volume, a concept which needs to be precisely defined in this dynamical approach, was shown to increase as a function of three parameters: freeze-out instant, fragment multiplicity and system size.     

Pre-equilibrium dipole strength in charge asymmetric peripheral heavy-ion reactions

We report on the results obtained from the study of the ³²S + ⁶⁴Ni and ³²S + ⁵⁸Ni peripheral reactions at incident energies E _lab = 288 MeV and E _lab = 320 MeV, respectively. High-energy γ-rays were detected in an array of 8 seven-pack BaF₂ clusters. Coincidence with complex fragments detected in 12 three-stage telescopes ensured the selection of peripheral reaction events. All of the relevant reaction parameters were kept constant with the exception of the different initial dipole moment caused by the different entrance channel charge asymmetry. While for quasi-elastic events no N/Z effect was observed in the differential γ-ray multiplicities of the two reactions, for deep-inelastic events a larger dipole γ-ray emission occurs during the more N/Z asymmetric reaction. A theoretical interpretation based on a collective Bremsstrahlung analysis of the reaction dynamics is presented.

New Component of the Moduli Space M(2;0,3) of Stable Vector Bundles on the Double Space P 3 of Index Two

We study the moduli scheme M(2;0,n) of rank-2 stable vector bundles with Chern classes c ₁=0, c ₂=n, on the Fano threefold X – the double space P ³ of index two. New component of this scheme is produced via the Serre construction using certain families of curves on X. In particular, we show that the Abel–Jacobi map :HJ(X) of any irreducible component H of the Hilbert scheme of X containing smooth elliptic quintics on X into the intermediate Jacobian J(X) of X factors by Stein through the quasi-finite (probably birational) map g:M of (an open part of) a component M of the scheme M(2;0,3) to a translate of the theta-divisor of J(X).

Kinetic energy release for the collision-induced dissociation of CO<Superscript>+</Superscript>

The kinetic energy release distributions (KERDs) of C⁺ and O⁺ fragments arising from 5 keV collision-induced dissociation (CID) of CO⁺ ions with helium have been measured. The KERDs of C⁺ and O⁺ exhibit different features corresponding to the states that participate in CID processes. We have identified groups of dissociative and predissociative states, and compare them with theoretical and experimental values.     

Electron-impact dissociation and transient properties of a stored LiH2 - beam

The fragmentation of LiH₂ ^- anions after electron impact was investigated at the heavy-ion storage ring TSR. The main reaction channel was found to be electron detachment followed by a breakup into LiH + H. In the first ms after production of the molecular ions in a cesium sputtering ion source, additional contributions were observed in the Li + H₂ and Li^- + H₂ channels, hinting at an initial population of a short-lived state of the anion. To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the observed behavior of the system, ab initio calculations of relevant potential energy surfaces were performed at selected geometries. The experimental findings are discussed in the light of these calculations.

Application of QM simulations and multivariate analysis in the study of alkene reactivity in the zeolite H‐ZSM5

Reported herein are the results of an investigation into the effect of the extended framework of the zeolite ZSM‐5 on the reaction energetics and structures of (a) the physisorbed complex formed between the zeolite and six alkenes, (b) the corresponding chemisorbed alkoxide intermediate and (c) the transition states (TS) connecting the two. For this, quantum mechanical (QM) simulations of ZSM‐5 in the presence and absence of the zeolite framework have been employed. A 46T density functional theory (DFT) cluster model and a 3T:46T DFT:UFF ONIOM model are used to represent the former scenario and a simple 3T DFT cluster model for the latter. The structural implications of neglecting the zeolite framework have been rigorously compared using the multivariate statistical method principal components analysis (PCA). This method allows one to assess the correlated nature of the changes in structure along the reaction coordinate, for multiple different alkenes, in a facile, reliable way.
