    Comprehensive analysis on photon-electron Lorentz-violation parameter plane

    Full text link
    Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory~(LHAASO) opens the window of ultra-high-energy~(UHE) photon detection, broadens the path of testing basic physical concept such as Lorentz symmetry, and brings possibility of potential high-energy physical phenomenon research such as photon decay and electron decay. Currently, the UHE photons from LHAASO observation set strict constraints on photon and electron Lorentz symmetry violation~(LV) effects. To obtain a global impression of the photon-electron LV parameter plane, we make a detailed analysis for photon decay and electron decay. Our discussion gives the corresponding decay thresholds and energy-momentum distributions in different LV parameter configurations. We get corresponding constraints on photon LV parameter, electron LV parameter and the photon-electron LV parameter plane from LHAASO observation. For the space allowed for LV effect, that is beyond relativity, we also provide corresponding boundaries from LHAASO observation.Comment: 10 pages,3 figures, version for publicatio

    Joint photon-electron Lorentz violation parameter plane from LHAASO data

    Full text link
    The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory~(LHAASO) is one of the most sensitive gamma-ray detector arrays, whose ultrahigh-energy~(UHE) work bands not only help to study the origin and acceleration mechanism of UHE cosmic rays, but also provide the opportunity to test fundamental physics concepts such as Lorentz symmetry. LHAASO directly observes the 1.42 PeV1.42~\mathrm{PeV} highest-energy photon. By adopting the synchrotion self-Compton model, LHAASO also suggests that the 1.12 PeV1.12~\mathrm{PeV} high-energy photon from Crab Nebula corresponds to a 2.3 PeV2.3~\mathrm{PeV} high-energy electron. We study the 1.42 PeV1.42~\mathrm{PeV} photon decay and the 2.3 PeV2.3~\mathrm{PeV} electron decay to perform a joint analysis on photon and electron two-dimensional Lorentz violation~(LV) parameter plane. Our analysis is systematic and comprehensive, and we naturally get the strictest constraints from merely considering photon LV effect in photon decay and electron LV effect in electron decay. Our result also permits the parameter space for new physics beyond relativity.Comment: 8 latex pages, 3 figures, final version for journal publicatio

    N′-(Butan-2-yl­idene)furan-2-carbohydrazide

    The title Schiff base compound, C9H12N2O2, was obtained from a condensation reaction of butan-2-one and furan-2-carbohydrazide. The furan ring and the hydrazide fragment are roughly planar, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.069 (2)Å, but the butanyl­idene group is twisted slightly with respect to this plane by a dihedral angle of 5.2 (3)°. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link pairs of inversion-related mol­ecules, forming dimers of R 2 2(8) graph-set motif

    Distribution Function in Center of Dark Matter Halo

    Full text link
    N-body simulations of dark matter halos show that the density profiles of halos behave as ρ(r)rα(r)\rho(r)\propto r^{-\alpha(r)}, where the density logarithmic slope α11.5\alpha \simeq 1\sim1.5 in the center and α34\alpha \simeq 3\sim 4 in the outer parts of halos. However, some observations are not in agreement with simulations in the very central region of halos. The simulations also show that velocity dispersion anisotropy parameter β0\beta\approx 0 in the inner part of the halo and the so called "pseudo phase-space density" ρ/σ3\rho/\sigma^3 behaves as a power-law in radius rr. With these results in mind, we study the distribution function and the pseudo phase-space density ρ/σ3\rho/\sigma^3 of the center of dark matter halos and find that they are closely-related.Comment: 8 pages, accepted by Int.

    CP Test in J/Psi -> gamma phi phi Decay

    Full text link
    We propose to test CP symmetry in the decay \jp\to \gamma \phi\phi, for which large data sample exists at BESII, and a data sample of 101010^{10} J/ψJ/\psi's will be collected with BESIII and CLEO-C program. We suggest some CP asymmetries in this decay mode for CP test. Assuming that CP violation is introduced by the electric- and chromo-dipole moment of charm quark, these CP asymmetries can be predicted by using valence quark models. Our work shows a possible way to get information about the electric- and chromo-dipole moment of charm quark, which is little known. Our results show that with the current data sample of J/ψJ/\psi, electric- and chromo-dipole moment can be probed at order of 1014ecm10^{-14}e cm. In the near future with a 101010^{10} data sample, these moments can be probed at order of 1016ecm10^{-16}e cm.Comment: Misprints corrected. To appear in Phys. Lett.

    Cloning and selection of reference genes for gene expression studies in Ananas comosus

    Full length mRNA sequences of Ac-β-actin and Ac-gapdh, and partial mRNA sequences of Ac-18SrRNA and Ac-ubiquitin were cloned from pineapple in this study. The four genes were tested as housekeeping genes in three experimental sets. GeNorm and NormFinder analysis revealed that β-actin was the most appropriate reference gene for qPCR analysis of callus under induction conditions and in different tissue types, meanwhile, 18SrRNA was the most stable reference gene during organ development. Gapdh was the most unstable gene in all tested experimental sets. Transcript level analysis result of AcSERK1 in stressed callus normalized by β-actin and 18SrRNA further confirmed that reference genes selected in this study were suitable for transcript level analysis of pineapple. The expression pattern of AcSERK1 during somatic embryogenesis normalized by β-actin coincided with the cytological features of calluses during somatic embryogenesis. These results will enable more accurate and reliable normalization of qPCR results for transcription analysis in pineapple.
