First Evidence for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay

Double beta decay is indispensable to solve the question of the neutrino mass matrix together with oscillation experiments. Recent analysis of the most sensitive experiment since nine years—the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW experiment in Gran-Sasso—yields a first indication for the neutrinoless decay mode. This result is the first evidence for lepton number violation and proves the neutrino to be a Majorana particle. We give the present status of the analysis in this report. It excludes several of the neutrino mass scenarios allowed from present neutrino oscillation experiments—only degenerate scenarios and those with inverse mass hierarchy survive. This result allows neutrinos to still play an important role as dark matter in the Universe. To improve the accuracy of the present result, considerably enlarged experiments are required, such as GENIUS. A GENIUS Test Facility has been funded and will come into operation by early 2003.     

Some analytical aspects in field theories with dynamical mass generation

The consequence of dynamical mass generation on the singularity structure of propagators is discussed. First the phenomena of dynamical mass generation is discussed in the framework of Euclidean gap equations, then a possible Minkowski solution is looked for. The examples are reviewed and studied for several models: Yukawa, QED, QCD and Wess-Zumino. It is argued that the absence of propagator pole goes hand in hand with the nontrivial solution for mass function. The consequences are discussed.

A new description for dispersion

Chang and Slattery (1986) introduced a simplified model for dispersion that contains only two empirical parameters, both of which can be determined in one-dimensional experiments. The traditional model for dispersion (Nikolaevskii, 1959; Scheidegger, 1961; de Josselin de Jong and Bossen, 1961; Bear, 1961a; Peaceman, 1966; Bear, 1972) has three empirical parameters, two of which can be measured in one-dimensional experiments while the third, the transverse dispersivity, must be measured in experiments in which a two-dimensional concentration profile develops. For the common one-dimensional experiment in which the signs of the concentration gradient and of the velocity field are different, the simplified model and the traditional model give identical results. For a one-dimensional experiment in which the signs of the concentration gradient and of the velocity field are at least sometimes the same and for two- and three-dimensional flows, the simplified model of Chang and Slattery (1986) gives results that can differ from those predicted using the traditional model.Only the experimental data of Bear (1961b) and of Yule and Gardner (1978) are sufficiently complete to permit a comparison of the two models. Considering the quality of the experimental data, we can not distinguish between the predicted profiles based upon the simplified model and those based upon the traditional model.     

Propagation of mesons in asymmetric nuclear matter in a density-dependent coupling model

We study the propagation of the light mesons σ,ω,ρ, and a₀(980) in dense hadronic matter in an extended derivative scalar coupling model. Within the scheme proposed it is possible to unambiguously define effective density-dependent couplings at the Lagrangian level. We first apply the model to study asymmetric nuclear matter with fixed isospin asymmetry, and then we pay particular attention to hypermatter in β-equilibrium. The equation of state and the potential contribution to the symmetry coefficient arising from the mean-field approximation are investigated.

The Investigation of Bulk and Surface Polariton Modes in Ga1?xNxAs by Using Infrared Magneto Spectroscopy

We present and discuss infrared magnetoplasma reflectivity and surface polariton modes in Ga_1–xN_xAs. It assumed that the sample is characterized by a magnetoplasma dielectric tensor. Surface polariton dispersion for two component magnetoplasma was calculated from reflectivity spectra data. We detect transverse optic phonon of GaN sublattice in 470 cm^-1. The origin of sharp feature in p-polarization reflectivity about 300 cm^–1 as well as LO phonon frequency of GaAs sublattice is due to Brewster mode. An interesting feature of surface modes in Voigt geometry is nonreciprocalicity, which means that the frequency changes when the direction of propagation is reversed. Also, the infrared magnetoplasma reflectivity of GaNAs should be providing determination of the electrons and heavy holes effective mass and carrier's concentration.     

Individual and center-of-mass resonances in the motional spectrum of an electron cloud in a Penning trap

We have examined experimentally the motional spectrum of an electron cloud confined in a Penning trap. When the axial oscillation is excited by a radio frequency field the resonance exhibits a double structure. Both components depend differently on the number of trapped electrons and have different shape and width. We conclude that one of them corresponds to the excitation of the individual electrons while the other is the center-of-mass mode of the cloud. The threshold behaviour of the center-of-mass resonance suggests that it is a parametric instability of a Mathieu type equation of motion.

A modified electron bombardment type ion source for the study of solids

A modified electron bombardment type ion source suitable for use with mass spectrometer is described. Ion formation occurs throughout a relatively large volume in the ionisation box, since no magnetic field is used to collimate the ionising electrons. A sensitivity of 2 × 10⁻⁵ amp/torr is obtained for an ion extraction energy of 2 keV and 200 mass resolution. Trajectory tracing has been used to study the operation of the ion source. Capability of the ion source to analyse solid samples in microgram quantity was tested by studying evaporation of BaO from tungsten.     

When null energy condition meets ADM mass

We give a conjecture on the lower bound of the ADM mass M by using the null energy condition. The conjecture includes a Penrose-like inequality $3M\geqslant \kappa { \mathcal A }/(4\pi )+\sqrt{{ \mathcal A }/4\pi }$ and the Penrose inequality $2M\geqslant \sqrt{{ \mathcal A }/4\pi }$ with ${ \mathcal A }$ the event horizon area and κ the surface gravity. Both the conjecture in the static spherically symmetric case and the Penrose inequality for a dynamical spacetime with spherical symmetry are proved by imposing the null energy condition. We then generalize the conjecture to a general dynamical spacetime. Our results raise a new challenge for the famous unsettled question in general relativity: in what general case can the null energy condition replace other energy conditions to ensure the Penrose inequality?
