Symmetries and Interaction coefficients of Kelvin waves
We considered symmetry restriction on the interaction coefficients of Kelvin
waves and demonstrated that linear in small wave vector asymptotic is not
forbidden, as one can expect by naive reasoning.Comment: 4 pages, submitted to J. of Low Temp. Phy
Comment on "Symmetries and Interaction Coefficients of Kelvin waves" [arXiv:1005.4575] by Lebedev and L'vov
We comment on the claim by Lebedev and L'vov [arXiv:1005.4575] that the
symmetry with respect to a tilt of a quantized vortex line does not yet
prohibit coupling between Kelvin waves and the large-scale slope of the line.
Ironically, the counterexample of an effective scattering vertex in the local
induction approximation (LIA) attempted by Lebedev and L'vov invalidates their
logic all by itself being a notoriously known example of how symmetries impose
stringent constraints on kelvon kinetics---not only the coupling in question
but the kinetics in general are absent within LIA. We further explain that the
mistake arises from confusing symmetry properties of a specific mathematical
representation in terms of the canonical vortex position field w(z) = x(z) +
iy(z), which explicitly breaks the tilt symmetry due to an arbitrary choice of
the z-axis, with those of the real physical system recovered in final
expressions.Comment: comment on arXiv:1005.4575, version accepted in JLTP with minimal

Identification of Kelvin waves: numerical challenges
Kelvin waves are expected to play an essential role in the energy dissipation
for quantized vortices. However, the identification of these helical
distortions is not straightforward, especially in case of vortex tangle. Here
we review several numerical methods that have been used to identify Kelvin
waves within the vortex filament model. We test their validity using several
examples and estimate whether these methods are accurate enough to verify the
correct Kelvin spectrum. We also illustrate how the correlation dimension is
related to different Kelvin spectra and remind that the 3D energy spectrum E(k)
takes the form 1/k in the high-k region, even in the presence of Kelvin waves.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. The final publication is available at

Creation of the precision magnetic spectrometer SCAN-3
The new JINR project [1] is aimed at studies of highly excited nuclear matter created in nuclei by a high-energy deuteron beam. The matter is studied through observation of its particular decay products - pairs of energetic particles with a wide opening angle, close to 180°. The new precision hybrid magnetic spectrometer SCAN-3 is to be built for detecting charged (π±, K±, p) and neutral (n) particles produced at the JINR Nuclotron internal target in dA collisions. One of the main and complex tasks is a study of low-energy ηA interaction and a search for η-bound states (η-mesic nuclei). Basic elements of the spectrometer and its characteristics are discussed in the article
