基于散射实验极化靶的2.5T/1.3K的动态核极化(DNP)系统的开发

动态核极化法(Dynamic Nuclear Polarization, DNP)是利用热平衡下的电子在磁场中的高自旋极化率转移到原子核自旋的技术,从而极大的提高原子核自旋极化率。多种动态极化靶材料已广泛的用于自旋物理散射实验。本文介绍一种简单实用,共同开发的日本山形大学DNP系统,包括超导磁场,氦4蒸发恒冷器,微波系统以及NMR核磁共振检测系统,测得中子靶材料氘带丁醇(D-butanol)中氘核的极化率在2.5T/1.3K达到+6.5%。     

Improvements for ground-based remote sensing of atmospheric aerosol properties by additional polarimetric measurements

We discuss the improvements in the aerosol properties characterization resulting from the additional multi-wavelength polarization measurements measured by a new CIMEL polarized sun/sky-photometer, CE318-DP. In order to process direct-sun, sky and polarization measurements in a wide spectral range (340–1640 nm), we developed new calibration methods and strategies, e.g. using the Langley plot method to calibrate both direct-sun irradiance and sky radiance, as well as combining laboratory facilities with a vicarious method to calibrate the polarized sky measurements. For studying the impact of new polarimetric measurements on the retrievals of aerosol properties, we have processed an extensive record of field measurements using an updated Dubovik and King retrieval algorithm [Dubovik O, Sinyuk A, Lapyonok T, Holben BN, Mishchenko MI, et al. Application of spheroid models to account for aerosol particle nonsphericity in remote sensing of desert dust. J Geophys Res 2006;111:D11208.]. A preliminary analysis shows that adding polarization in the inversion can reduce possible errors (notably for about 30% of our field cases) in the fine mode size distribution, real part of refractive index and particle shape parameter retrievals, especially for small particles.     

Search for exotics in γD↦φnp reactions near threshold<Superscript>⋆</Superscript>

We discuss coherent and incoherent φ -meson photoproduction off the deuteron at low energy and small momentum transfer with the aim to check whether the recent experimental data need for their interpretation an inclusion of exotic channels. Our analysis of the differential cross-section and spin-density matrix elements shows that new data on the γD → φX reaction at E _γ ∼ 2 GeV may be understood on the basis of conventional dynamics.     

Measurement of the electric form factor of the neutron at Q2 = 0.3-0.8 (GeV/ c) 2 ⋆

The electric form factor of the neutron, G_E,n, has been measured at the Mainz Microtron by recoil polarimetry in the quasielastic D(¯e, e¯n)p reaction. Three data points have been extracted at squared four-momentum transfers Q ² = 0.3, 0.6 and 0.8 (GeV/c)². Corrections for nuclear binding effects have been applied.This revised version was published online in March 2005. In the previous version, the email address of one author was inadvertently assigned to multiple authors.     

Nucleon electromagnetic form factors and polarization observables in space-like and time-like regions

We perform a global analysis of the experimental data of the electromagnetic nucleon form factors, in space-like and time-like regions. We give the expressions of the observables in annihilation processes, such as p + ¯↦ℓ⁺ + ℓ^-, ℓ = e or μ, in terms of form factors. We discuss some of the phenomenological models proposed in the literature for the space-like region, and consider their analytical continuation to the time-like region. After determining the parameters through a fit on the available data, we give predictions for the observables which will be experimentally accessible with large statistics, polarized annihilation reactions     

Excitation functions of the analyzing power in elastic proton-proton scattering from 0.45 to 2.5 GeV

Excitation functions A_N(p_lab,_c.m.) of the analyzing power in elastic proton-proton scattering have been measured in an internal target experiment at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY with an unpolarized proton beam and a polarized atomic hydrogen target. Data were taken continuously during the acceleration and deceleration for proton kinetic energies T_lab (momenta p_lab) between 0.45 and 2.5 GeV (1.0 and 3.3 GeV/c) and scattering angles 30 ^° _c.m. 90^°. The results provide excitation functions and angular distributions of high precision and internal consistency. The data can be used as calibration standard between 0.45 and 2.5 GeV. They have significant impact on phase shift solutions, in particular on the spin triplet phase shifts between 1.0 and 1.8 GeV.     

Scattering of electromagnetic waves by static wormholes

Scattering of electromagnetic waves by static and traversable wormholes is discussed. Based on the fact that these spacetimes have no horizon, and regarding their non-trivial topology, we have developed the perturbation theory of scattering and the Born approximation for obtaining the differential scattering cross section. Some of the zeros of the scattering pattern at long wavelengths are determined which can be used for estimating the radius of the throat. The known result that in scattering by static spacetimes the linear polarization remains unchanged is verified here.
