Two-Dimensional Self-Assembly in Diblock Copolymers

Submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett.Diblock copolymers confined to a two-dimensional surface may produce uniform features of macromolecular dimensions (10 â 100 nm). We present a mathematical model for nanoscale pattern formation in such polymers which captures the dynamic evolution of a solution of poly(styrene)- b-poly(ethylene oxide), PS-b-PEO, in solvent at an air-water interface. The model has no fitting parameters and incorporates the effects of surface tension gradients, entanglement or vitrification, and diffusion. The resultant morphologies are quantitatively compared with experimental data.NS

ATHENA detector proposal — a totally hermetic electron nucleus apparatus proposed for IP6 at the Electron-Ion Collider

ATHENA has been designed as a general purpose detector capable of delivering the full scientific scope of the Electron-Ion Collider. Careful technology choices provide fine tracking and momentum resolution, high performance electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry, hadron identification over a wide kinematic range, and near-complete hermeticity. This article describes the detector design and its expected performance in the most relevant physics channels. It includes an evaluation of detector technology choices, the technical challenges to realizing the detector and the R&D required to meet those challenges
