Feasibility study on contact stiffness acquisition by hammering tests and numerical back-analysis for parallel structural plane of rock mass

针对相对均匀的平行结构面,基于结构面的线性接触假设,提出了一种利用锤击试验及数值反演获得结构面接触刚度的方法。该方法实施时,在结构面两侧分别布设若干支振动传感器,在远处利用激震锤进行激震,通过结构面两侧垂直于结构面方向和平行于结构面方向振动传感器的起跳时间,计算出纵波和横波通过结构面的耗时,而后利用数值计算进行反分析,通过不断调整结构面的法向和切向接触刚度,实现与现场实测相同的耗时,从而获得该结构面的法向和切向接触刚度特性。对该测试方法的可行性进行了理论、数值方面的论证,结果表明纵波过缝耗时仅受法向接触刚度控制,横波过缝耗时仅受切向接触刚度控制,并存在一一对应的关系。而后,通过对花岗岩岩块的试验及数值分析,证明了通过锤击试验快速测试岩体结构面接触刚度的方法是可行的,且具有较好的稳定性

JUNO Sensitivity on Proton Decay p→νˉK+p\to \bar\nu K^+ Searches

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this paper, the potential on searching for proton decay in $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits to suppress the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ is 36.9% with a background level of 0.2 events after 10 years of data taking. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel

JUNO sensitivity on proton decay p → ν K + searches*

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this study, the potential of searching for proton decay in the $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated. The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits suppression of the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ is 36.9% ± 4.9% with a background level of $0.2\pm 0.05({\rm syst})\pm$$0.2({\rm stat})$ events after 10 years of data collection. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years of exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, which is competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel and complements the use of different detection technologies
