SppC based energy frontier lepton-proton colliders: luminosity and physics
In this study, main parameters of Super proton-proton Collider (SppC) based
lepton-proton colliders are estimated. For electron beam parameters, highest
energy International Linear Collider (ILC) and Plasma Wake Field
Accelerator-Linear Collider (PWFA-LC) options are taken into account. For muon
beams, 1.5 TeV and 3 TeV center of mass energy Muon Collider parameters are
used. In addition, ultimate p collider which assumes construction of
additional 50 TeV muon ring in the SppC tunnel is considered as well. It is
shown that can be achieved with
moderate upgrade of the SppC proton beam parameters. Physics search potential
of proposed lepton-proton colliders is illustrated by considering small Bjorken
x region as an example of SM physics and resonant production of color octet
leptons as an example of BSM physics.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, 8 table
Determination of natural radioactivity levels in soil and travertine of the region of Tokat and Sivas, Turkey
WOS: 000429070100015In this study, the environmental radioactivity measurements for Tokat and Sivas provinces in the northeast of Turkey were performed. Using gamma ray spectrometry, the activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in soil and travertine samples (Th-232, Ra-226, and K-40) were determined. The annual effective dose equivalent, the absorbed doses rate in air, the radium equivalent, and the external hazard index were obtained from these activities. The activity concentrations vary from 9.09 to 17.04 Bq kg(-1) for Th-232, from 36.53 to 76.95 Bq kg(-1) for Ra-226, and from 216.56 to 576.59 Bq kg(-1) for K-40 in soil samples. The activity concentrations in travertines vary from 15.99 to 21.01 Bq kg(-1) for Th-232, from 19.89 to 67.71 Bq kg(-1) for Ra-226, and from 179.89 to 314.43 Bq kg(-1) for K-40. The average dose rate in air for soil and travertine samples was 43.41 and 41.05 nGy h(-1) respectively. The obtained results are presented and compared with other studies, and the results of this study are lower than the international recommended value (55 nGy h(-1)) given by UNSCEAR (2000). The results show that the region has a background radiation level within the natural limits.Gaziosmanpasa University Scientific Research Projects Department (BAP)Gaziosmanpasa University [24/2013]This work is supported by Gaziosmanpasa University Scientific Research Projects Department (BAP) under project no. 24/2013
Compton Scattering from the Deuteron and Extracted Neutron Polarizabilities
Differential cross sections for Compton scattering from the deuteron were
measured at MAX-lab for incident photon energies of 55 MeV and 66 MeV at
nominal laboratory angles of , , and . Tagged
photons were scattered from liquid deuterium and detected in three NaI
spectrometers. By comparing the data with theoretical calculations in the
framework of a one-boson-exchange potential model, the sum and difference of
the isospin-averaged nucleon polarizabilities, and (in units of fm),
have been determined. By combining the latter with the global-averaged value
for and using the predictions of the Baldin sum rule for
the sum of the nucleon polarizabilities, we have obtained values for the
neutron electric and magnetic polarizabilities of (total) (model) and (total) (model), respectively.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, revtex. The text is substantially revised. The
cross sections are slightly different due to improvements in the analysi
