Study of absorption and re-emission processes in a ternary liquid scintillation system

Liquid scintillators are widely used as the neutrino target in neutrino experiments.The absorption and emission of different components of a ternary liquid scintillator （Linear Alkyl Benzene （LAB） as the solvent,2,5-diphenyloxazole （PPO） as the fluor and p-bis-（o-methylstyryl）-benzene （bis-MSB） as wavelength shifter） are studied.It is shown that the absorption of this liquid scintillator is dominant by LAB and PPO at wavelengths less than 349 nm,and the absorption by bis-MSB becomes prevalent at the wavelength larger than 349 nm.The fluorescence quantum yields,which are the key parameters to model the absorption and re-emission processes in large liquid scintillation detectors,are measured.

Optimal policies for inventory systems with discretionary sales, random yield and lost sales

We determine replenishment and sales decisions jointly for an inventory system with random demand, lost sales and random yield. Demands in consecutive periods are independent random variables and their distributions are known. We incorporate discretionary sales, when inventory may be set aside to satisfy future demand even if some present demand may be lost. Our objective is to minimize the total discounted cost over the problem horizon by choosing an optimal replenishment and discretionary sales policy. We obtain the structure of the optimal replenishment and discretionary sales policy and show that the optimal policy for finite horizon problem converges to that of the infinite horizon problem. Moreover, we compare the optimal policy under random yield with that under certain yield, and show that the optimal order quantity （sales quantity） under random yield is more （less） than that under certain yield.     

Radiophotosynthesis of some 14C-labelled Amino Acids using the Unicellular Green Alga Scenedesmus acutus

Radiophotosynthesis has been carried out using the unicellular green algea Scenedesmus acutus grown, as a substrate for preparing some carbon-14 labelled amino acids. Gaseous ¹⁴CO₂, in an air tight photosynthesis chamber or NaH¹⁴CO₃ solution, in an ordinary photosynthesis chamber, were used as radioactive carbon sources. The yields, radiochemical yields and specific activities of the formed radioactive products are reported in both cases. The results obtained clearly showed the advantages of using the NaH¹⁴CO₃ method. In that case the process was by far less tedious. Moreover, the chemical and radiochemical yields of the formed amino acids were relatively much more higher than the values obtained on using ¹⁴CO₂ in the tight photosynthesis chamber.     

Indpeendent Yields of Iodine and Tellurium Isotopes in Fission of 232 Thorium with 30.5 MeV Alpha Particles

Iodine and tellurium isotopes produced in the fission of ²³²Th with 30.5 MeV alpha particles were separated using a method of sublimation in an air stream and the independent yields of ¹³⁰I, ¹³¹I, ^132m,gI, ¹³³I ¹³⁴I, ^134m,gTe, ^133mTe and ¹³⁴Te (cumulative) were determined by means of high resolution Ge(Li) γ-ray spectrometry. A Gaussian fit to the experimental data was used to obtain the width parameter σ_z and the most probable charge Z_p of the nuclear charge distribution in the isobaric chains 130 – 131. The most probable masses for fission fragments with Z = 52 and Z = 53 were also deduced from the measured fission yields.

薄膜量热计是进行Z箍缩辐射总能量测量的主要手段之一,准确可信的总能量参数对Z箍缩研究具有重要意义。对薄膜量热计装置进行技术改进,采用脉冲恒流源代替脉冲恒压源驱动镍薄膜量热计,撤除了回路中的串接电阻,可直接测量薄膜探测器的电阻变化,从而有效提高了辐射总能量测量的精度,拓宽了该设备的适用范围,使其可对目前强光一号加速器Z箍缩实验中所有典型负载进行测量。改进后平面型铝丝阵负载实验中总能量测量的相对不确定度由49.0%降低为19.6%。与闪烁探测系统功率测量结果积分值进行了对比,二者比值在0.87~1.04之间。     

超二代像增强器多碱阴极光电发射特性研究

通过测量超二代像增强器多碱阴极的光谱反射率和透射率,根据能量守恒定律计算得到了多碱阴极的光谱吸收率.结果表明,只有当光子的能量大于1.333 eV以后,多碱阴极的吸收率才开始快速增大.这说明多碱阴极的光谱吸收存在一个1.333 eV的长波吸收限,入射光的光子能量如果小于该吸收限,多碱阴极将不吸收.在多碱阴极的表面电子亲合势进一步降低的情况下,多碱阴极光电发射的长波理论阈值由长波吸收限所决定.多碱阴极在吸收光子之后的电子跃迁过程中,跃迁电子的能量增加小于所吸收入射光子的能量,即存在一个"能量损失".光子的能量越高,所激发的跃迁电子所处的能级越高,能量损失越大.同时光子的能量越高,跃迁电子所处的能级越高,电子跃迁的几率越低.多碱阴极的量子效率由吸收率、跃迁几率和跃迁能级、扩散过程中的能量损失等因素共同决定,因此多碱阴极的量子效率存在长波阈的同时也存在短波阈.多碱阴极的量子效率在2.11 eV达到最大值之后,随着光子能量的增加而单调减小,在3.6 eV时,量子效率减小到零.多碱阴极在3.6 eV时的吸收系数仍然很高,但由于电子跃迁的几率低,同时电子扩散过程中的能量损失大,导致尽管多碱阴极对短波具有较高的吸收系数,但量子效率仍然较低.因此对多碱阴极所吸收的光子能量中,转换成为光电导、晶格热振动等其他非光电发射形式能量的比例而言,短波较长波高,对光电发射的贡献率而言,短波较长波低.     

Bonds and Options in Exponentially Affine Bond Models

Abstract

In this article we apply the Flesaker–Hughston approach to invert the yield curve and to price various options by letting the randomness in the economy be driven by a process closely related to the short rate, called the abstract short rate. This process is a pure deterministic translation of the short rate itself, and we use the deterministic shift to calibrate the models to the initial yield curve. We show that we can solve for the shift needed in closed form by transforming the problem to a new probability measure. Furthermore, when the abstract short rate follows a Cox–Ingersoll–Ross (CIR) process we compute bond option and swaption prices in closed form. We also propose a short-rate specification under the risk-neutral measure that allows the yield curve to be inverted and is consistent with the CIR dynamics for the abstract short rate, thus giving rise to closed form bond option and swaption prices.
