Gluon saturation and the Froissart bound: a simple approach
At very high energies we expect that the hadronic cross sections satisfy the
Froissart bound, which is a well-established property of the strong
interactions. In this energy regime we also expect the formation of the Color
Glass Condensate, characterized by gluon saturation and a typical momentum
scale: the saturation scale . In this paper we show that if a saturation
window exists between the nonperturbative and perturbative regimes of Quantum
Chromodynamics (QCD), the total cross sections satisfy the Froissart bound.
Furthermore, we show that our approach allows us to describe the high energy
experimental data on total cross sections.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. Includes additional figures, discussion and

Studying microstructure and phase composition of a new complex calcium containing alloy
In the given article there are presented the results of studying the microstructure and phase structure of a complex alloy of alumosilicon with calcium. It is established that in the studied CAMS alloy active elements are present at a type of difficult intermetallid that positively influences quality of both ordinary, and qualitative brands of steel
Fracture toughness in some hetero-modulus composite carbides: carbon inclusions and voids. Advances in Applied Ceramics
Fracture toughness of ceramics in some cases can be significantly improved by the inclusion of low-modulus phase and even voids. Structure and mechanical characteristics of dense ceramic composites synthesised by reactive hot pressing of TiC-B4C powder mixtures at 1800 - 1950°С under 30MPa during 16 minutes are investigated. X-Ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM and EDX) have shown that during hot pressing solid phase chemical interaction 2TiС + B4C = 2TiВ2 + 3С has occurred resulting in TiB2-TiC-C, TiB2-C or TiB2-B4C-C hetero-modulus composite formation with approximately 1μm carbon precipitates. The volume of such precipitated carbon can reach 35 vol. %. The fracture toughness depends on the precipitate size and amount of graphite precipitation and has a distinct maximum K1C = 10MPa∙m1/2 at nearly 7 vol. % . Such fracture toughness behaviour is explained by the proposed model of crack propagation and the model-based assessment of hetero-modulus ceramic fracture toughness. It is shown that voids and low modulus carbon inclusions blunt the cracks and can increase ceramic toughness. The later has been demonstrated in the another carbon containing ceramic Cr2AlC, so named MAX phase material, when thin film fracture resistance increases as the ceramic was deposited to be porous
Design and Status of the Dipole Spectrometer Magnet for the ALICE Experiment
Proposal of abstract for MT16, Tallahesse, Florida, 26th September to 2nd October 1999.A large Dipole Magnet is required for the Muon Arm Spectrometer of the ALICE experiment at the LHC.The absence of strong requirements on the symmetry and homogeneity of the magnetic field has lead to a design dominated by economic and feasibility considerations.In March 1997 the decision was taken to build a resistive dipole magnet for the muon spectrometer of the ALICE experiment. Since then, design work has been pursued in JINR/Russia and at CERN. While a common concept has been adopted for the construction of the steel core, two different proposals have been made for the manufacturing technology of the excitation coils. In both cases, however, the conductor material will be Aluminium.The general concept of the dipole magnet is based on a window frame return yoke, fabricated from low carbon steel sheets. The flat vertical poles follow the defined acceptance angle of 9 degrees. The excitation coils are of saddle type. The coils are wound from large hollow Aluminium profiles. They are cooled by pressurized demineralised water. The coil ends are located to both sides of the magnet yoke and determine the overall length of the magnet. The main flux direction in the gap is horizontal and perpendicular to the LHC beam axis.Both coil concepts and the underlying manufacturing technology are compared and the present status of the development of the magnet is described
Very high quality factor measured in annealed fused silica
We present the results of quality factor measurements for rod samples made of
fused silica. To decrease the dissipation we annealed our samples. The highest
quality factor that we observed was for a mode at
384 Hz. This is the highest published value of in fused silica measured to
date.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
A twist in chiral interaction between biological helices
Using an exact solution for the pair interaction potential, we show that
long, rigid, chiral molecules with helical surface charge patterns have a
preferential interaxial angle ~((RH)^1/2)/L, where L is the length of the
molecules, R is the closest distance between their axes, and H is the helical
pitch. Estimates based on this formula suggest a solution for the puzzle of
small interaxial angles in a-helix bundles and in cholesteric phases of DNA.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, PDF file onl

A proposal to study small angle p -p scattering at very high energies
We propose to measure small angle p-p scattering by using a thin foil and a hydrogen jet target to intercept a small fraction of the beam without interference with the acceleration process. The measurements are based on the detection of the slow recoil proton and will yield the energy dependence of (a) the slope of the p-p nuclear diffraction peak, (b) the real part of the nuclear scattering amplitude, (c) the diffractive excitation of isobars. The proposed technique is energy independent and will provide data over the entire energy region from 25 GeV to the highest energy achieved by NAL. Total accelerated beam intensities of 10{sup 11} to 10{sup 12} protons/pulse are quite adequate. The equipment is presently under development and could be fully operational by June 1971
