Decomposition Staging of

The decomposition of β-metastable phase in (α+β)-titanium alloys during continuous heating needs a detailed investigation in the range of relatively small temperatures. The staging of β-solid solution decay was studied on the solution treated and water quenched VT16 (Ti-3Al-5Mo-5V) used for fasteners production. The thermal exo-effects of β-phase decomposition were examined using DSK. Corresponding effects in the in situ X-Ray diffraction patterns and storage modulus temperature dependence in the DMA curves are discussed. A three stage layout of β-decay is reported during continuous heating of VT16 with (α+β)-structure after quenching.     Keywords: metastable phase, phase transformation, in situ XRD, storage modulus, decay, quenching, continuous heating, dynamic mechanical analysi

Influence of Cold Rolling Temperature Rise on the Young‘s Modulus of Commercial Fe-3%Si Steel

Dynamic mechanical analysis was performed on the sheets of commercial grainoriented steel Fe-3%Si in annealed and cold-rolled conditions. The Young‘s modulus was measured according to the 3-point bending scheme in the temperature range of 20…550 ∘C. The difference between the values of the elastic properties in the rolling direction and transverse directions were explained with the peculiarities of the structural and textural states. Two extreme points in the Young‘s modulus temperature dependence are explained with the oxidation process, which occurs during heating of the samples. The obtained data can be employed to refine the simulation of the stress-strain state in cold rolling of commercial Fe-3%Si by the finite element method.     Keywords: Grain-oriented steel, cold rolling, storage modulus, dynamic mechanical analysis, anisotropy, crystallographic textur

Observation of KS0K_S^0 semileptonic decays with CMD-2 detector

The decay $K_S^0 \to \pi e \nu$ has been observed by the CMD-2 detector at the e^+e^- collider VEPP-2M at Novosibirsk. Of 6 million produced $K_L^0K_S^0$ pairs, $75 \pm 13$ events of the $K_S^0 \to \pi e \nu$ decay were selected. The corresponding branching ratio is $B(K_S^0 \to \pi e \nu)=(7.2 \pm 1.4)\times10^{-4}$. This result is consistent with the evaluation of $B(K_S^0 \to \pi e \nu)$ from the $K_L^0$ semileptonic rate and $K_S^0$ lifetime assuming $\Delta S=\Delta Q$ .Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, LaTex2e.

About 11 200 e^+e^- -> omega -> pi^+pi^-pi^0 events selected in the center of mass energy range from 760 to 810 MeV were used for the measurement of the \omega meson parameters.

The process e+e- to pi+ pi- pi+ pi- pi0 has been studied in the center of mass energy range 1280 -- 1380 MeV using 3.0 1/pb of data collected with the CMD-2 detector in Novosibirsk. Analysis shows that the cross section of the five pion production is dominated by the contributions of the eta pi+pi- and omega pi+pi- intermediate states.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure.

Measurement of the Ds lifetime

We report precise measurement of the Ds meson lifetime. The data were taken by the SELEX experiment (E781) spectrometer using 600 GeV/c Sigma-, pi- and p beams. The measurement has been done using 918 reconstructed Ds. The lifetime of the Ds is measured to be 472.5 +- 17.2 +- 6.6 fs, using K*(892)0K+- and phi pi+- decay modes. The lifetime ratio of Ds to D0 is 1.145+-0.049.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures submitted to Phys. Lett.
