Study of the system in the mass range up to 1200 MeV
The reaction has been studied with GAMS-2000
spectrometer in the secondary 38 GeV/c -beam of the IHEP U-70
accelerator. Partial wave analysis of the reaction has been performed in the
mass range up to 1200 MeV. The -meson is seen as a sharp
peak in S-wave. The -dependence of production cross section has
been studied. Dominant production of the at a small transfer
momentum confirms the hypothesis of Achasov and Shestakov about significant
contribution of the exchange () in the mechanism
of meson production in -channel of the reaction.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, talk given at HADRON'9
Theoretical backgrounds of durability analysis by normalized equivalent stress functionals
Generalized durability diagrams and their properties are considered for a material under a multiaxial loading given by an arbitrary function of time. Material strength and durability under such loading are described in terms of durability, safety factor and normalized equivalent stress. Relations between these functionals are analysed. We discuss some material properties including time and load stability, self-degradation (ageing), and monotonic damaging. Phenomenological strength conditions are presented in terms of the normalized equivalent stress. It is shown that the damage based durability analysis is reduced to a particular case of such strength conditions. Examples of the reduction are presented for some known durability models. The approach is applicable to the strength and durability description at creep and impact loading and their combination
Search for invisible decays of sub-GeV dark photons in missing-energy events at the CERN SPS
We report on a direct search for sub-GeV dark photons (A') which might be
produced in the reaction e^- Z \to e^- Z A' via kinetic mixing with photons by
100 GeV electrons incident on an active target in the NA64 experiment at the
CERN SPS. The A's would decay invisibly into dark matter particles resulting in
events with large missing energy. No evidence for such decays was found with
2.75\cdot 10^{9} electrons on target. We set new limits on the \gamma-A' mixing
strength and exclude the invisible A' with a mass < 100 MeV as an explanation
of the muon g_\mu-2 anomaly.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures; Typos corrected, references adde
Dark Matter Search Perspectives with GAMMA-400
GAMMA-400 is a future high-energy gamma-ray telescope, designed to measure
the fluxes of gamma-rays and cosmic-ray electrons + positrons, which can be
produced by annihilation or decay of dark matter particles, and to survey the
celestial sphere in order to study point and extended sources of gamma-rays,
measure energy spectra of Galactic and extragalactic diffuse gamma-ray
emission, gamma-ray bursts, and gamma-ray emission from the Sun. GAMMA-400
covers the energy range from 100 MeV to ~3000 GeV. Its angular resolution is
~0.01 deg(Eg > 100 GeV), and the energy resolution ~1% (Eg > 10 GeV). GAMMA-400
is planned to be launched on the Russian space platform Navigator in 2019. The
GAMMA-400 perspectives in the search for dark matter in various scenarios are
presented in this paperComment: 4 pages, 4 figures, submitted to the Proceedings of the International
