Photoproduction of electron-positron pairs in bent single crystals
The process of photoproduction of electron-positron pairs in bent single
crystals is considered in this paper. In particular, it is shown that the
probability of the process for gamma-quanta with energies from 100 GeV on is
significantly higher than the one in an amorphous medium.
A possible scenario for the experimental validation of the process is
discussed and the positive features of the photoproduction in bent crystals
compared to straight ones are underlined from the point of view of possible
applications.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figure
The measurement results of carbon ion beam structure extracted by bent crystal from U-70 accelerator
The carbon ion +6C beam with energy 25 GeV/nucleon was extracted by bent crystal from the U-70 ring. The bent angle of silicon crystal was 85 mrad. About 2*105 particles for 109 circulated ions in the ring were observed in beam line 4a after bent crystal. Geometrical parameters, time structure and ion beam structure were measure
Применение корреляционного метода определения скорости потока теплоносителя при исследованиях гидродинамики турбулентных потоков в элементах ядерных реакторов
The method of correlation measurement of the coolant flow rate, widely used for operational diagnostics of nuclear power plants, can be extensively used in research practice. The aim of this work was to apply a correlation method based on the conductometric measurement system with wire-mesh sensors for measuring a coolant flow rate. Insignificant concentration of a salt solution (NaCl or Na2SO4 ) creates a gradient of the conductivity in the flow, which is used as a passive scalar measured by the system. Authors used turbulent pulsations at the interface of two concurrent flows with identical velocities in a square channel as a signal source for the correlation method. The paper presents the methodology of the tests, test facility description, signalto- noise ratio estimation, the results of digital signal processing and comparison of the measured velocities in the model with the flowrate‒averaged velocity determined by the use of flowmeters. The measured velocity values give acceptable agreement for the turbulent flow modes. It was shown that the measurement accuracy drops sharply for low-Reynolds flows. The obtained results were used for flowrate measurements in core-imitator channels of the nuclear reactor test model. The presented paper is an approbation of this approach for its application as part of an test model of a nuclear reactor in order to determine the each duct flow rates in the channels of the core simulator using wire mesh sensors
