Laser acceleration of ion beams
We consider methods of charged particle acceleration by means of
high-intensity lasers. As an application we discuss a laser booster for heavy
ion beams provided, e.g. by the Dubna nuclotron. Simple estimates show that a
cascade of crossed laser beams would be necessary to provide additional
acceleration to gold ions of the order of GeV/nucleon.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, Talk at the Helmholtz International Summer School

Mobilization of genetic resources of Hyssopus Officinalis L. for selection for seed productivity and essential oil content
We studied 52 varieties and breeding samples from the collection of medicinal hyssop in the Botanical Garden of Belgorod State University (2017-2020). Of these, 16 varieties of domestic selection included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements approved for use in the Russian Federation, as well as 33 breeding samples obtained by selection from wild cenopopulations of the Volokonovsky district of the Belgorod region and 3 breeding samples obtained by selection from local selection varieties ‘Volokonovsky’ (2 samples) and ‘Lazar’ (1 sample
BBGKY kinetic approach for an e-e+gamma plasma created from the vacuum in a strong laser-generated electric field: The one-photon annihilation channel
In the present work a closed system of kinetic equations is obtained from the
truncation of the BBGKY hierarchy for the description of the vacuum creation of
an electron - positron plasma and secondary photons due to a strong laser
field. This truncation is performed in the Markovian approximation for the
one-photon annihilation channel which is accessible due to the presence of the
strong external field. Estimates of the photon production rate are obtained for
different domains of laser field parameters (frequency nu and field strength
E). A huge quantity of optical photons of the quasiclassical laser field is
necessary to satisfy the conservation laws of energy and momentum of the
constituents (e-, e+, gamma) in this channel. Since the number of these optical
photons corresponds to the order of perturbation theory, a vanishingly small
photon production rate results for the optical region and strongly subcritical
fields E << E_c. In the gamma-ray region nu <~ m the required number of laser
photons is small and the production rate of photons from the one-photon
annihilation process becomes accessible to observations for subcritical fields
E <~ E_c. In the infrared region the photon distribution has a 1/k spectrum
typical for flicker noise.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure, one reference with referring text added and one

Self - Consistent Description of e+e-gamma Plasma Created from the Vacuum in a Strong Electric Laser Field
In the present work a closed system of kinetic equations is obtained for the
description of the vacuum creation of an electron - positron plasma and
secondary photons due to a strong laser field. An estimate for the photon
energy distribution is obtained. In the Markovian approximation the photon
distribution has a 1/k spectrum (flicker noise).Comment: 6 pages, contribution to Proceedings of the International Bogolyubov

Inertial mechanism: dynamical mass as a source of particle creation
A kinetic theory of vacuum particle creation under the action of an inertial
mechanism is constructed within a nonpertrubative dynamical approach. At the
semi-phenomenological level, the inertial mechanism corresponds to quantum
field theory with a time-dependent mass. At the microscopic level, such a
dependence may be caused by different reasons: The non-stationary Higgs
mechanism, the influence of a mean field or condensate, the presence of the
conformal multiplier in the scalar-tensor gravitation theory etc. In what
follows, a kinetic theory in the collisionless approximation is developed for
scalar, spinor and massive vector fields in the framework of the oscillator
representation, which is an effective tool for transition to the quasiparticle
description and for derivation of non-Markovian kinetic equations. Properties
of these equations and relevant observables (particle number and energy
densities, pressure) are studied. The developed theory is applied here to
describe the vacuum matter creation in conformal cosmological models and
discuss the problem of the observed number density of photons in the cosmic
microwave background radiation. As other example, the self-consistent evolution
of scalar fields with non-monotonic self-interaction potentials (the
W-potential and Witten - Di Vecchia - Veneziano model) is considered. In
particular, conditions for appearance of tachyonic modes and a problem of the
relevant definition of a vacuum state are considered.Comment: 51 pages, 18 figures, submitted to PEPAN (JINR, Dubna); v2: added

Environmental Improvement Of Opencast Mining
Existing classifications of waste dumps in the quarries are given and their phenomenological nature is clarified. The need to identify the essence of the term "dump" is shown as well as the idea of "dump" as an artificial formation with everted and mixed rocks distanced from the quarry. Essential classification of man-made rock formations in quarries is developed. Characteristic of variations of man-made waste formations in quarries is developed. To reduce harmful effects of open-pit mining, dumps should be substituted with strat-lays - man-made structures relevant to natural stratification of litho-substances. Construction of strat-lays would improve ecological and technological culture of open cast mining
