Finite temperature Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis formalism of Φ6 theory

The finite temperature effective potential for a scalar field with Φ⁶ interaction is calculated by extending the CJT formalism for composite operators. It is found that unrenormalized terms appear in the effective potential due to the presence of an unrenormalized mass term. Nonzero turning points are obtained both for positive and negativeλ. High temperature expansion is performed and the results are analysed numerically. Graphical analysis indicates symmetry restoration whenT→0.     

Bayesian inference on isospin splitting of nucleon effective mass from giant resonances in ~(208)Pb

From a Bayesian analysis of the electric dipole polarizability,the constrained energy of isovector giant dipole resonance,the peak energy of isocalar giant quadrupole resonance,and the constrained energy of isocalar giant monopole resonance in ~(208)Pb,we extract the iso scalar and isovector effective masses in nuclear matter at saturation density p_0 as m_(s,0)~*/m=0.87_(-0.04)~(+0.04) and m_(v,0)~*/m=0.78_(-0.05)~(+0.06),respectively,at 90% confidence level.The constraints obtained on m_(s,0)~* and m_(v,0)~* lead to a positive iso spin splitting of nucleon effective mass in asymmetric nuclear matter of iso spin asymmetry δ at p_0 as m_(n-p)~*/m=(0.20_(-0.14)~(+0.15))δ.In addition,the symmetry energy at the subsaturation density p~*=0.05 fm~(-3) is determined to be E_(sym)(p~*)=16.7±1.3 MeV at 90% confidence level.     

White and some colored marbles as alternative radiation shielding materials for applications

ABSTRACT

In this paper, the radiation shielding parameters such as linear attenuation coefficients (LAC, µ), mass attenuation coefficients (MAC, µ/ρ), effective atomic numbers (Z_eff), effective electron densities (N_eff), half value of layers (HVL), mean free paths (MFP) and buildup factors (exposure (EBF) and energy absorption (EABF)) were investigated for cream (M1), pink (M2), white (M3), maroon (M4) and green (M5) marbles. Attenuation coefficients were measured in the energy region 31.18–661.66 keV photon energies. The values of Z_eff and N_eff were then calculated using these coefficients with logarithmic interpolation method, and HVLs and MFPs were calculated using the values of LAC of marble samples at the same photon energies. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical values obtained from WinXCom program, and good agreements were observed between the experimental and theoretical results. HVLs and MFPs of all marble samples were compared with those of some concretes, glasses and commercial radiation shielding glasses (SCHOTT Co.). The studied marbles were better radiation shielding materials than standard shielding concretes due to lower HVL and MFP values lower than the ordinary concrete. Finally, EBFs and EABFs of the marbles were calculated in the energy region 0.015–1?MeV up to penetration depths of 40 mfps by Geometric Progression method (G-P), and the results were discussed in terms of photon energies and chemical compositions of the marbles.

柱状装药预制破片缩比战斗部爆炸冲击波和破片的作用时序

针对柱状装药的周向预制破片战斗部,结合无量纲分析方法和爆炸驱动理论,确定了影响破片和冲击波相遇位置的关键参数,给出了由缩比战斗部推广预测原型战斗部爆炸产生的破片冲击波作用时序的方法。采用ANSYS/LS-DYNA有限元软件进行数值模拟,对比验证了理论分析和数值试验结果,分析了战斗部缩比比例对冲击波和破片作用时序的影响。结果表明:缩比模型与原型战斗部爆炸产生的破片和冲击波的相遇位置之比和相遇时间之比主要取决于两模型的质量比,在不考虑破片速度衰减时,两模型中载荷相遇位置之比和相遇时间之比等于其质量比的0.33次方。受破片速度衰减影响,该方法仅适用于质量缩比不小于0.2的模型。     

Effective electromagnetic and chiral parameters of chiral composite material

The effective parameters of chiral composite are studied using a simple model, that is, randomly oriented non-interacting wire helices embedded in a nonchiral host medium. It is found that both the effective permittivity and permeability are independent on the handedness of the chiral objects while the effective chirality admittance is dependent. It is also found that when the ratio of the radius of the chiral helix to its pitch is about 0.23, maximum chirality admittance is achieved. The effective parameters of equichiral sample are also discussed.     

On Schreier graphs of gyrogroup actions

The notion of a group action can be extended to the case of gyrogroups. In this article, we examine a digraph and graph associated with a gyrogroup action on a finite nonempty set, called a Schreier digraph and graph. We show that algebraic properties of gyrogroups and gyrogroup actions such as being gyrocommutative, being transitive, and being fixed-point-free are reflected in their Schreier digraphs and graphs. We also prove graph-theoretic versions of the three fundamental theorems involving actions: the Cauchy–Frobenius lemma (also known as the Burnside lemma), the orbit-stabilizer theorem, and the orbit decomposition theorem. Finally, we make a connection between gyrogroup actions and actions of symmetric groups by evaluation via Schreier digraphs and graphs.     

Optical shuttering action in nematic phase of SMHBLC: observation of a ribbon-like texture

In this study, complexes belonging to supramolecular hydrogen-bonded liquid crystal homologous series are synthesized and characterized. Hydrogen bond is formed between p-n-alkyloxy benzoic acids (nBAO, where n?=?5–11) and chlorobenzoic acid (ClBAO), respectively. The isolated homologues are characterized by various techniques such as polarizing optical microscopic (POM) studies, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy. Based on the POM and DSC studies, the phase diagram has been constructed and discussed. A new smectic ordering, labeled as smectic R, has been characterized, which exhibits a ribbon-like texture. This phase is observed in the complexes pertaining to the higher homologous series. Tilt angle in this phase has been experimentally deduced and the results are fitted to the power law which concurs with the mean-field theory predicted value. Optical shuttering action in the homologue has been detected in the nematic phase and the results are also discussed.     

Natural radionuclide concentrations in soils around Baoji coal-fired power plant,China

Radionuclides are released together with fly ash from the coal-fired power plant and thus add to the natural radiation. Fifty soil samples were collected around the Baoji coal-fired power plant from 25 locations and the natural radionuclide concentrations were determined by a gamma ray spectrometric system. The results show that the activity concentrations in soil samples range from 12.54 to 40.18 Bq kg^?1, 38.02 to 72.55 Bq kg^?1 and 498.02 to 1126.98 Bq kg^?1 for ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K with the mean values of 27.35, 52.66 and 764.72 Bq kg^?1, respectively. In order to evaluate the radiological hazard of the natural radioactivity, the radium equivalent activity (Ra_eq), the absorbed dose rate (D) and the annual effective dose rate have been calculated and compared with the internationally approved values. The radium equivalent activity in all the soil samples is lower than the safe limit set in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development report (370 Bq kg^?1). The average value of the calculated dose rates is higher than the global average value 55 nGy h^?1, and the calculated annual effective dose rate is significantly lower than the average annual external effective dose rate (460 μSv y^?1) of the normal background radiation.
