Study of the reactione + e −→K + K − in the energy range1350 \leqq \sqrt s \leqq 2400 MeV

Thee ⁺ e ^?→K ⁺ K ^? cross section has been measured from about 750 events in the energy interval \(1350 \leqq \sqrt s \leqq 2400 MeV\) with the DM2 detector at DCI. TheK ^± form factor |F _F ^±| cannot be explained by the ρ, ω, ? and ρ′(1600). An additional resonant amplitude at 1650 MeV has to be added as suggested by a previous experiment.     

Polyamides from Aromatic BisaminesChloral Derivatives and Terephthaloyl Chloride by Interfacial Polycondensation

Investigations on a new class of polyamides obtained by interfacial polycondensation from amine-chloral derivatives, e.g., 2,2-bis(p-aminophenyl)-1,1,1-trichloromethane or 2,2-bis(p-aminophenyl)-1, 1-dichloroethylene and terephthaloyl chloride, have been carried out. It was found that the interfacial process proceeds in the most advantageous way in acidic medium at 0°C using equivalent volume amounts and equimolar concentrations of methylene chloride and water phases in the presence of a stoichiometric quantity of triethylamine as the hydrogen acceptor.     

Synthesis of Novel Series of 6‐Chloro‐1,1‐dioxo‐1,4,2‐benzodithiazine Derivatives with Potential Biological Activity

A series of 6′‐chloro‐1′,1′‐dioxo‐2′H‐spiro[benzo[d][1,3,7]oxadiazocine‐4,3′‐(1,4,2‐benzodithiazine)]‐2,6(1H,5H)‐dione derivatives 2a , 2b and 3a , 3b have been synthesized starting from 3‐aminobenzodithiazines 1a , 1b and isatoic anhydride. Subsequent reactions of 2a with 3‐chlorophenyl isocyanate gave condensation products 4 and 5 . Compound 2a was also converted into 3‐(2‐aminobenzamido)‐6‐chloro‐7‐methyl‐1,1‐dioxo‐1,4,2‐benzodithiazine derivatives 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 . The mechanisms of the reactions are discussed.     

Radiative decay ofJ/ψ into γ π+ π−

The radiative decayJ/ψ → γ π⁺ π^? has been studied using the 8.6 millionJ/ψ produced in the DM2 experiment at the DCIe ⁺e^? storage rings at Orsay. The π⁺ π^? mass spectrum shows a cleanf ₂ (1270) signal, and the possible presence of two other states at thef ₂ (1720) andf ₄ (2030) masses. For thef ₂ (1270), the branching ratio BR(J/ψ →γf)xBR(f→π⁺ π^?) is measured to be (7.50±0.30±1.12)×10^?4, and the spin analysis prefers theJ=2 assignment, with helicity parametersx=0.83±0.06 andy=0.01±0.06. The existence of higher mass states is discussed.     

Laser frequency stabilization by magnetically assisted rotation spectroscopy

We present a method of Doppler-free laser frequency stabilization based on magnetically assisted rotation spectroscopy (MARS) which combines the Doppler-free velocity-selective optical pumping (VSOP) and magnetic rotation spectroscopy. The stabilization is demonstrated for the atomic rubidium transitions at 780 nm. The proposed method is largely independent of stray magnetic fields and does not require any modulation of the laser frequency. Moreover, the discussed method allows one to choose between locking the laser exactly to the line center, or with a magnetically-controlled shift to an arbitrary frequency detuned by up to several natural linewidths. This feature is useful in many situations, e.g. for laser cooling experiments. In addition to presenting the principle of the method, its theoretical background and peculiarities inherent to the repopulation VSOP are discussed.     

Concept of epitaxial silicon structures for edge illuminated solar cells

A new concept of edge illuminated solar cells (EISC) based on silicon epitaxial technique has been proposed. In this kind of photovoltaic (PV) devices, sun-light illuminates directly a p-n junction through the edge of the structure which is perpendicular to junction surface. The main motivation of the presented work is preparation of a working model of an edge-illuminated silicon epitaxial solar cell sufficient to cooperation with a luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) consisted of a polymer foil doped with a luminescent material. The technological processes affecting the cell I–V characteristic and PV parameters are considered.     

Non-planar smoulder propagation governed by diffusion

The steady propagation of a thin smouldering front in a half-spacehas been considered. A suitable coordinate transformation hasallowed the region near the leading edge of the front to beexamined for both a maintained planar surface and with surfacecollapse due to material shrinkage. The change in the oxidizerconcentration for a small increment in the propagation speedfor large time and surface collapse has been determined. Theinfluence of two types of nonlinear diffusion on the shape ofthe smouldering front has been found; other cases can be dealtwith in a similar manner.
