Deuteron-Proton Elastic Scattering at Intermediate Energies

The deuteron-proton elastic scattering has been studied in the multiple scattering expansion formalism. The essential attention has been given to such relativistic problem as a deuteron wave function in a moving frame and transformation of spin states due to Wigner rotation. Parameterization of the nucleon-nucleon $t$-matrix has been used to take the off-energy shell effects into account. The vector, $A_y,$ and tensor, $A_{yy}$, analyzing powers of the deuteron have been calculated at two deuteron kinetic energies: 395 MeV and 1200 MeV. The obtained results are compared with the experimental data

The article is devoted to the scientific and theoretical research of methodological approaches to determining the importance of macroregional socio-economic systems. A system of indicators is proposed for assessing the role of a macroregion in the national economy, reflecting its specificity as an integration territory and characterizing the level, degree and intensity of interaction between the actors of the macroregional economic and industrial comple

Chemiluminescence activity of neutrophil granulocytes under the influence of magnetic nanoparticles of ferrihydrite (<i>in vitro</i>)

The article presents the results of studying and evaluating the impact of magnetic nanoparticles of ferrihydrite on neutrophil granulocytes in human blood (in vitro) in order to determine their bio compatibility and eco toxicity. The subject soft here search were blood neutrophil granulocytes of 29 conditionally-healthy donors of blood, as well as magnetic nanoparticles of ferrihydrite (NP), the preparation dose in minimum concentration reached 25 mg, in maximum concentration it reached 50 mg per 106 cells/ml. We implemented the sol of magnetic NP, obtained by biogenic synthesis in International Scientific Centre for Studying Extreme States of an Organism. Functional activity of blood neutrophil granulocytes has been determined by luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. Magnetic NP were introduced into pilot samples straight before chemiluminescent analysis, and also after the incubation with in 30 minutes under 37 °С entigrade. As a result of thee stimation of the early response of neutrophil granulocytes to the influence of minimum concentration of magnetic NP in vitro we found statistically true decrease of the intensity (1.6 times), the area under the curve (2.1 times) in zymosan-induced chemiluminescent response, the activation index (2.3 times). When evaluating the late response of neutrophil granulocytes to the influence of maximum concentration of magnetic NP in vitro we have found statistically true lowering of the time of reaching the peak (10 times) of spontaneous chemiluminescence. More over we marked consider able lowering of maximum intensity 6 times and the reduction of the area under the curve of zymosan-induced chemiluminescence 5.6 times under the influence of magnetic NP under the lowering of activation index 3.7 times. The authors determined that magnetic NP were intensively decreasing the functional activity of neutrophil granulocytes. The intensity of the impact is higher under the preliminary incubation of the cells with magnetic NP. At the same time, short effect of magnetic NP to neutrophil granulocytes can be a modulating one and depends on the initial level of cell reactivity. We revealed that magnetic NP influence concerns only activated cells

Local Magnetohydrodynamic Characteristics of the Plasma Stream generated by MPC

This paper investigates the spatial distributions of electrical current which flows inside the plasma stream generated by a magnetoplasma compressor (MPC). Two different modes of MPC operation with different gas supply scenarios have been applied in the experiments presented here. The first is the operation mode with a pulse injection of xenon into the interelectrode space, and the second is the operation mode with residual helium in the chamber and local injection of xenon directly into the compression zone. The maximum value of the electric current observed outside the MPC channel is 15 ÷ 20% of the total discharge current. Electric current vortices were discovered in the plasma stream. The amplitude of the current in the vortices reaches 50% of the total discharge current. The maximum EUV radiation power was measured in the mode of MPC operation with local xenon injection. Power in the wave range 12.2 ÷ 15.8 nm achieves up to 16 ÷ 18 kW

Study of deuterium plasma interaction with a tungsten target within RPI-IBIS facility

The paper presents results of experimental research on the interaction of a pulsed plasma-ion stream with a tungsten (W) target. The pulsed deuterium plasma was produced within the RPI-IBIS (Multi-Rod Plasma Injector) facility at IPJ in Swierk. Measurements were carried out by means of optical spectroscopy and corpuscular diagnostic techniques. Structural changes in the irradiated targets were investigated with a SEM. Before experiments with the W-target there were determined operational conditions, when clean deuterium plasma streams can be generated. For that purpose a so-called “slow or PID (Plasma Ion Deposition) mode” of the RPI-IBIS operation was chosen. Particular attention was paid to the identification of spectral lines from WI and WII species. The obtained results, i.e. optical spectra and other characteristics have demonstrated applicability of the RPI-IBIS facility for research on the interaction of plasma streams with W-targets, e.g. those constituting some internal parts of fusion facilities.Представлено результати експериментальних досліджень по взаємодії імпульсного плазмово-іонного потоку з вольфрамовою мішенню. Імпульсні дейтерієві потоки плазми генерувались в СПІ-ІБІС (стержневий плазмовий інжектор), який знаходиться в ІЯП у Шверку. Виміри проводились за допомогою оптичної спектроскопії та корпускулярної діагностики. Структурні зміни облучаємої мішені досліджувались за допомогою SEM. Перед експериментами з вольфрамовою мішенню визначались робочі умови, коли генерувались чисті дейтерієві плазмові потоки. Був вибраний так званий режим “повільний або PID-моди” (плазмового іонного осадження). Частична увага приділялась ідентифікації спектральних ліній WI та WII. Отримані результати, оптичні спектри та інші характеристики, продемонстрували можливість застосовувати установку СПІ-ІБІС для досліджень взаємодії плазмових потоків з W-мішенню, які складають деякі внутрішні частини термоядерного реактору.Представлены результаты экспериментальных исследований по взаимодействию импульсного плазменно-ионного потока с вольфрамовой мишенью.

Differential Cross Section of DP-Elastic Scattering at Intermediate Energies

The deuteron-proton elastic scattering is studied in the multiple scattering expansion formalism. The contributions of the one-nucleon-exchange, single- and double scattering are taken into account. The Love and Franey parameterization of the nucleon-nucleon $t$-matrix is used, that gives an opportunity to include the off-energy-shell effects into calculations. Differential cross sections are considered at four energies, $T_d=390, 500, 880, 1200$ MeV. The obtained results are compared with the experimental data
