Measurement of the geomagnetic field in the ionosphere using radar methods
A new method for measuring the geomagnetic field in the ionosphere by the integrated use of vertical sounding radar (ionosonde) and incoherent scatter radar, its capabilities and features of the technical implementation, as well as the first results of an experimental test are considered.Розглянуто новий спосіб вимірювання геомагнітного поля в іоносфері шляхом інтегрального використання радару вертикального зондування (іонозонду) і радару некогерентного розсіяння, його можливості й особливості технічної реалізації, а також перші результати експериментального випробування
The application of plasma-electrolysis boronizing of parts
© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. The article deals with methods of increasing the working capacity of parts due to the improvement of structural condition of the surface. There were analyzed the characteristic features of the borating method and plasma-electrolysis processing, the necessity for joint use of these methods. On the basis of the review the author suggests the application of plasma-electrolysis boronizing of parts. By increasing the working capacity of parts due to the improvement of structural condition of the surface by means of borating method and plasma-electrolysis processing, it is possible to use more rational application of alloyed materials for manufacturing various parts that have high physical and mechanical, operational characteristics, which is certainly actual for modern machinery production
Revisiting the 'LSND anomaly' II: critique of the data analysis
This paper, together with a preceding paper, questions the so-called 'LSND
anomaly': a 3.8 sigma excess of antielectronneutrino interactions over standard
backgrounds, observed by the LSND Collaboration in a beam dump experiment with
800 MeV protons. That excess has been interpreted as evidence for the
antimuonneutrino to antielectronneutrino oscillation in the \Deltam2 range from
0.2 eV2 to 2 eV2. Such a \Deltam2 range is incompatible with the widely
accepted model of oscillations between three light neutrino species and would
require the existence of at least one light 'sterile' neutrino. In a preceding
paper, it was concluded that the estimates of standard backgrounds must be
significantly increased. In this paper, the LSND Collaboration's estimate of
the number of antielectronneutrino interactions followed by neutron capture,
and of its error, is questioned. The overall conclusion is that the
significance of the 'LSND anomaly' is not larger than 2.3 sigma.Comment: 30 pages, 16 figures, 6 table
Cross-sections of large-angle hadron production in proton- and pion-nucleus interactions VII: tin nuclei and beam momenta from \pm3 GeV/c to \pm15 GeV/c
We report on double-differential inclusive cross-sections of the production
of secondary protons, charged pions, and deuterons, in the interactions with a
5% nuclear interaction length thick stationary tin target, of proton and pion
beams with momentum from \pm3 GeV/c to \pm15 GeV/c. Results are given for
secondary particles with production angles between 20 and 125 degrees.
Cross-sections on tin nuclei are compared with cross-sections on beryllium,
carbon, copper, tantalum and lead nuclei.Comment: 68 pages, 13 figure

The stressed state of a titanile shell operating in a medium with hydrogen
Improving reliability in the operation of equipment operating in a water-containing environment is associated with solving the problem of hydrogen embrittlement of metals. In the absence of a rigorous physical theory, it becomes necessary to predict the carrying capacity of various structures based on the available experimental data showing a decrease in the mechanical properties of materials in contact with hydrogen. In this paper, a solution is given to a physically nonlinear problem of determining stresses in a titanium shell. When integrating resolving equations, the method of SK Godunov's discrete orthogonalization is applied. Due to the fact that hydrogen most noticeably reduces the plastic properties of metals, the construction has revealed a dangerous point with a maximum intensity value of tangential stresses. The regularities of changes in the intensity of shear deformations at the dangerous point of the shell during an emergency pressure increase in the apparatus have been found. It is shown that an emergency pressure increase in the shell may lead to the appearance of plastic deformation zones, and the effect of hydrogen is manifested in the reduction of the breaking load. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd
