Letters from the Front and Memoires in a Museum Exhibition as the Means of Commemoration and Formation of Historical Memory

The article researches the process of historical memory formation and the role of museum spaces in it. The authors consider the use of letters from the front as the means of commemoration. The issues of commemoration and re-commemoration, museum reflection and its influence on historical memory are studied. Special attention is paid to museumification of front letters and memoires of war workers. The authors consider the new possibilities of using them in museum displays using multimedia technologies, emphasizing the higher accessibility of the letters’ content in multimedia. The research novelty consists in the cross-disciplinary view of a historical source through the prism of museum space. The authors show the properties and possibilities of narrative sources which are now available due to modern technologies. The unpublished ego-documents (private letters and memoires) from museum funds were studied and described. The research topicality is due to identification of the influence of written museum exhibits on the formation and socialization of historical memory. It is proved that the personal materials in a museum display using modern technical opportunities enhance the informative effect, stimulating commemoration and facilitating the formation of historical memory.

Transverse magnetic routing of light emission in hybrid plasmonic-semiconductor nanostructures: towards operation at room temperature

We study experimentally and theoretically the temperature dependence of transverse magnetic routing of light emission from hybrid plasmonic-semiconductor quantum well structures where the exciton emission from the quantum well is routed into surface plasmon polaritons propagating along a nearby semiconductor-metal interface. In II-VI and III-V direct-band semiconductors the magnitude of routing is governed by the circular polarization of exciton optical transitions, that is induced by a magnetic field. For structures comprising a (Cd,Mn)Te/(Cd,Mg)Te diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum well we observe a strong directionality of the emission up to 15% at low temperature of 20K and magnetic field of 485mT due to giant Zeeman splitting of holes mediated via the strong exchange interaction with Mn2+ ions. For increasing temperatures towards room temperature the magnetic susceptibility decreases and the directionality strongly drops to 4% at about 65 K. We also propose an alternative design based on a nonmagnetic (In,Ga)As/(In,Al)As quantum well structure, suitable for higher temperatures. According to our calculations, such structure can demonstrate emission directionality up to 5% for temperatures below 200 K and moderate magnetic fields of 1 T

Los autores consideran el uso de letras del frente como medio de conmemoración. Se estudian los temas de la conmemoración y re-conmemoración, la reflexión museística y su influencia en la memoria histórica. Se presta especial atención a la museificación de las portadas y memorias de los trabajadores de guerra. Los autores consideran las nuevas posibilidades de utilizarlas en exposiciones de museos utilizando tecnologías multimedia, haciendo hincapié en la mayor accesibilidad del contenido de las cartas en multimedia. La novedad de la investigación consiste en la mirada transversal de una fuente histórica a través del prisma del espacio museístico. Los autores muestran las propiedades y posibilidades de las fuentes narrativas que ahora están disponibles gracias a las tecnologías modernas. Se estudiaron y describieron los documentos ego inéditos (cartas privadas y memorias) de los fondos del museo. La actualidad de la investigación se debe a la identificación de la influencia de las exhibiciones escritas en los museos en la formación y socialización de la memoria histórica. Está comprobado que los materiales personales en una exhibición de museo que utilizan las oportunidades técnicas modernas mejoran el efecto informativo, estimulan la conmemoración y facilitan la formación de la memoria histórica. El artículo emplea la experiencia del trabajo de fondos, exposiciones y excursiones del Museo de la historia del desarrollo del ferrocarril de Gorky

Measurements of the Total and Differential Higgs Boson Production Cross Sections Combining the H??????? and H???ZZ*???4??? Decay Channels at s\sqrt{s}=8??????TeV with the ATLAS Detector

Measurements of the total and differential cross sections of Higgs boson production are performed using 20.3~fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Cross sections are obtained from measured $H \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$ and $H \rightarrow ZZ ^{*}\rightarrow 4\ell$ event yields, which are combined accounting for detector efficiencies, fiducial acceptances and branching fractions. Differential cross sections are reported as a function of Higgs boson transverse momentum, Higgs boson rapidity, number of jets in the event, and transverse momentum of the leading jet. The total production cross section is determined to be $\sigma_{pp \to H} = 33.0 \pm 5.3 \, ({\rm stat}) \pm 1.6 \, ({\rm sys}) \mathrm{pb}$. The measurements are compared to state-of-the-art predictions.Measurements of the total and differential cross sections of Higgs boson production are performed using 20.3  fb-1 of pp collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of s=8  TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector.
