EFFECTS OF STIFFNESS ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF STEADY FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTIONS OF AN AIRSHIP

飞艇作为临近空间高分辨率观测的重要平台,力学性能研究非常重要。飞艇的主体材料一般由柔性蒙皮构成,容易在气动作用下产生较大的变形,存在较强的流固耦合效应,是其力学性能研究的关键。该文采用松耦合方法形成了定常流固耦合计算方法,并且针对流场与结构的模型展开了详细的计算,和实验结果进行了验证。针对不同刚度构型飞艇模型的计算结果显示:硬式飞艇不需考虑流场和结构的耦合效应,半硬式和软式飞艇的耦合效应较明显。其中半硬式飞艇,耦合效应主要影响区域为柔性最大的橡胶部分,考虑耦合效应后,飞艇位移变形量增加约5%。软式飞艇,变形最为明显的是飞艇的尾部和头部,在来流作用下会出现明显的抬头位移,最大位移增量为225%。此外还采用量纲分析方法,得到了艇体变形与膜材料弹性模量、内压、来流的变化规律。当模型与实物满足几何相似、材料相似和动力学相似的条件下,变形将满足几何相似律

Prediction of Energy Resolution in the JUNO Experiment

International audienceThis paper presents the energy resolution study in the JUNO experiment, incorporating the latest knowledge acquired during the detector construction phase. The determination of neutrino mass ordering in JUNO requires an exceptional energy resolution better than 3% at 1 MeV. To achieve this ambitious goal, significant efforts have been undertaken in the design and production of the key components of the JUNO detector. Various factors affecting the detection of inverse beta decay signals have an impact on the energy resolution, extending beyond the statistical fluctuations of the detected number of photons, such as the properties of liquid scintillator, performance of photomultiplier tubes, and the energy reconstruction algorithm. To account for these effects, a full JUNO simulation and reconstruction approach is employed. This enables the modeling of all relevant effects and the evaluation of associated inputs to accurately estimate the energy resolution. The study reveals an energy resolution of 2.95% at 1 MeV. Furthermore, the study assesses the contribution of major effects to the overall energy resolution budget. This analysis serves as a reference for interpreting future measurements of energy resolution during JUNO data taking. Moreover, it provides a guideline in comprehending the energy resolution characteristics of liquid scintillator-based detectors

Measurement of integrated luminosity of data collected at 3.773 GeV by BESIII from 2021 to 2024

We present a measurement of the integrated luminosity e+e- of collision data collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider at a center-of-mass energy of Ecm = 3.773 GeV. The integrated luminosities of the datasets taken from December 2021 to June 2022, from November 2022 to June 2023, and from October 2023 to February 2024 were determined to be 4.995±0.019 fb-1, 8.157±0.031 fb-1, and 4.191±0.016 fb-1, respectively, by analyzing large angle Bhabha scattering events. The uncertainties are dominated by systematic effects, and the statistical uncertainties are negligible. Our results provide essential input for future analyses and precision measurements

Determination of the number of ψ(3686) events taken at BESIII

The number of ψ(3686) events collected by the BESIII detector during the 2021 run period is determined to be (2259.3±11.1)×106 by counting inclusive ψ(3686) hadronic events. The uncertainty is systematic and the statistical uncertainty is negligible. Meanwhile, the numbers of ψ(3686) events collected during the 2009 and 2012 run periods are updated to be (107.7±0.6)×106 and (345.4±2.6)×106, respectively. Both numbers are consistent with the previous measurements within one standard deviation. The total number of ψ(3686) events in the three data samples is (2712.4±14.3)×10^
