Composition of particles emitted at largep T and medium angles inpp,dd, andαα collisions at the CERN intersecting storage rings

The relative yields of kaons and protons compared with the yield of pions at highp _T and polar angles θ away from 90° (in the range from 10° to 45°) are presented forpp, dd, and αα interactions at a centre-of-mass energy \(\sqrt {s_{NN} } = 31\) GeV per nucleon-nucleon collision. The measured particle ratios depend on the atomic mass numberA of the beam particles and on θ. TheA dependence of the ratios becomes stronger for largerp _T and is more pronounced at smaller polar angles.     

Study of hadronic events inpp collisions at\sqrt s = 62GeV and comparison with hadronic events ine + e − collisions

We present an analysis of minimum bias events from proton-proton collisions at \(\sqrt s = 7GeV\) in the CERN ISR. We remove the effects of both the leading protons and compare theB=0 mesonic residue of the events to the hadronic events of similar energy produced ine ⁺ e ^? collisions. This comparison is presented in terms of the standard jet-type analyses involving quantities such as sphericity and aplanarity. We find significant differences between these data and the data frome ⁺ e ^? annihilations. The data of this experiment are consistent with the predictions of a longitudinal phase space model.     

Optimization model of recrystallization hot rolling of titanium-vanadium steels

An optimization model was built based on the data of a pilot-scale (4.5 MN load, 225 KW power capacity) rolling mill to minimize the austenite grain sizes of Ti–V steels, which prevail at the instant of completion of the static recrystallization during hot rolling. A computer program developed for this optimization model was run for the rolling schedule, which is designed according to the complete recrystallization case. An energy optimization model developed previously was applied to different rolling schedules. The grain size optimization results demonstrate the effectiveness of these modelling approaches in terms of final grain size, final plate thickness, measured and computed roll force and torque values for both the design of the thermomechanical schedules which produce plate with fine-grained microstructures, high strength, and notch toughness and the temperature-reduction schedules of conventional controlled rolling.     

A study of gluon scattering and gluon fragmentation in highp T interactions at the ISR

Gluon scattering processes are studied in hadronic highp _T events using data obtained with the Split Field Magnet detector (SFM) at the CERN ISR. The experimental set-up allowed the scanning of a wide range of parton energies and scattering angles. It is shown that for positive pions as trigger particles, the parton composition of the recoil jet is correlated with the polar angle and transverse momentum of the triggering pion. Over the kinematical region studied, the recoil jet originates predominantly from scatered gluons, with an increasing prevalence of the gluon component towards forward triggering angles. The variation of the momentum structure of the recoil jet with the trigger angle indicates that the fragmentation function of gluons is softer than that of quarks.
