Measurement of event-shape observables in Z→ℓ+ℓ− events in pp collisions at √ s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

Event-shape observables measured using charged particles in inclusive $Z$-boson events are presented, using the electron and muon decay modes of the $Z$ bosons. The measurements are based on an integrated luminosity of $1.1 {\rm fb}^{-1}$ of proton--proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV. Charged-particle distributions, excluding the lepton--antilepton pair from the $Z$-boson decay, are measured in different ranges of transverse momentum of the $Z$ boson. Distributions include multiplicity, scalar sum of transverse momenta, beam thrust, transverse thrust, spherocity, and $\mathcal{F}$-parameter, which are in particular sensitive to properties of the underlying event at small values of the $Z$-boson transverse momentum. The Sherpa event generator shows larger deviations from the measured observables than Pythia8 and Herwig7. Typically, all three Monte Carlo generators provide predictions that are in better agreement with the data at high $Z$-boson transverse momenta than at low $Z$-boson transverse momenta and for the observables that are less sensitive to the number of charged particles in the event.Comment: 36 pages plus author list + cover page (54 pages total), 14 figures, 4 tables, submitted to EPJC, All figures including auxiliary figures are available at http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/STDM-2014-0

Search for high-mass new phenomena in the dilepton final state using proton–proton collisions at View the MathML sources=13TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search is conducted for both resonant and non-resonant high-mass new phenomena in dielectron and dimuon final states. The search uses View the MathML source3.2fb−1 of proton–proton collision data, collected at View the MathML sources=13TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2015. The dilepton invariant mass is used as the discriminating variable. No significant deviation from the Standard Model prediction is observed; therefore limits are set on the signal model parameters of interest at 95% credibility level. Upper limits are set on the cross-section times branching ratio for resonances decaying to dileptons, and the limits are converted into lower limits on the resonance mass, ranging between 2.74 TeV and 3.36 TeV, depending on the model. Lower limits on the ℓℓqqℓℓqq contact interaction scale are set between 16.7 TeV and 25.2 TeV, also depending on the mode

Interaction of Portland cement hydration products with complex chemical additives containing fiberglass in moisture-proof cement compositions

Physicochemical studies of interaction of the hydration products of Portland cement with the complex chemical additives, which ensure the penetrating action of moisture-proof cement compositions with the borosilicate fiberglass, have been executed. It is established that the fiberglass tightly outgrows by such products of hydration as crystal hydrates and hydrosilicate gel, and durable electro-heterogeneous contacts are formed between them. It is established that one can not expect the destruction of the fiberglass in the alkaline medium of concrete block in view of the dense structure of the hydration products of. With the development of the moisture-proof cement compositions containing fiberglass it is recommended to give the preference to calcium salts, minimizing the content of sodium salts

Functional model for the synthesis of nanostructures of the given quality level

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to develop a functional model for the synthesis of nanostructures of the given quality level, which will allow to effectively control the process of nanopatterning on the surface of semiconductors with tunable properties. Design/methodology/approach: The paper uses the IDEF0 methodology, which focuses on the functional design of the system under study and describes all the necessary processes with an accuracy sufficient for an unambiguous modelling of the system's activity. Based on this methodology, we have developed a functional model for the synthesis of nanostructures of the given quality level and tested its effectiveness through practice. Findings: The paper introduces a functional model for the synthesis of nanostructures on the surface of the given quality level semiconductors and identifies the main factors affecting the quality of nanostructures as well as the mechanisms for controlling the formation of porous layers with tunable properties. Using the example of etching single-crystal indium phosphide electrochemically in a hydrochloric acid solution, we demonstrate that the application of the suggested model provides a means of forming nanostructures with tunable properties, assessing the quality level of the nanostructures obtained and bringing the parameters in line with the reference indicators at a qualitatively new level. Research limitations/implications: Functional modelling using the IDEF0 methodology is widely used when process control is required. In this study it has been applied to control the synthesis of nanostructures of the given quality level on the surface of semiconductors. However, these studies require continuation, namely, the establishment of correlations between the technological and resource factors of synthesis and the acquired properties of nanostructures. Practical implications: This study has a significant practical effect. Firstly, it shows that functional modelling can reduce the time required to form large batches of the given quality level nanostructures. This has made it possible to substantiate the choice of the initial semiconductor parameters and nanostructure synthesis modes in industrial production from the theoretical and empirical perspective. Secondly, the presented methodology can be applied to control the synthesis of other nanostructures with desired properties and to reduce the expenses required when resources are depleted and the cost of raw materials is high. Originality/value: This paper is the first to apply the IDEF0 methodology to control the given quality nanostructure synthesis. This paper will be of value to engineers who are engaged in the synthesis of nanostructures, to researchers and scientists as well as to students studying nanotechnology

Chemical evaluation of the quality of nanostructures synthesized on the surface of indium phosphide

Purpose: The article proposes a methodology for determining the chemical quality criterion of porous layers synthesized on the surface of semiconductors, based on taking into account the chemical parameters of the surface that can affect the properties of nanostructures. Design/methodology/approach: The chemical quality criterion was evaluated in terms of stoichiometry, stability of structures over time, uniformity of distribution over the surface, and the presence of an oxide phase. As an example, a calculation is demonstrated for the por-InP/InP structure synthesized on a mono-InP surface. The results of calculating the chemical quality criterion were evaluated using the Harrington scale to rank samples by quality level. Findings: A chemical criterion for the quality of porous layers synthesized on the surface of semiconductors has been developed. This criterion contains a set of indicators sufficient for a comprehensive assessment of the surface condition and is universal in nature. The studies carried out make it possible to reasonably approach the determination of the modes of electrochemical processing of semiconductors and open up new perspectives in the construction of a model of self-organization of a porous structure. Research limitations/implications: The chemical quality criterion does not allow evaluating the obtained nanostructures in terms of geometric parameters. Therefore, in the future, there is a need to develop a morphological quality criterion and determine a methodology for assessing a generalized quality criterion for nanostructures synthesized on the surface of semiconductors, which may include economic, environmental, technological indicators, and the like. Practical implications: Study results are expedient from a practical point of view, since they make it possible to reasonably approach the determination of the modes of electrochemical processing of semiconductors, synthesize nanostructures with predetermined properties, and create standard samples of nanomaterial composition. Originality/value: Methodology for assessing the quality of porous semiconductors by a chemical criterion has been applied for the first time in engineering science. The article will be useful to engineers, who are engaged in the synthesis of nanostructures, researchers and scientists, as well as specialists in nanometrology
