Simplified TeV leptophilic dark matter in light of DAMPE data
Using a simplified framework, we attempt to explain the recent DAMPE cosmic
flux excess by leptophilic Dirac fermion dark matter (LDM). The
scalar () and vector () mediator fields connecting LDM and
Standard Model particles are discussed. Under constraints of DM relic density,
gamma-rays, cosmic-rays and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), we find that the
couplings , , and can
produce the right bump in flux for a DM mass around 1.5 TeV with a
natural thermal annihilation cross-section today. Among them, coupling is tightly constrained by
PandaX-II data (although LDM-nucleus scattering appears at one-loop level) and
the surviving samples appear in the resonant region, . We also study the related collider signatures, such as dilepton
production , and muon anomaly. Finally,
we present a possible realization for such leptophilic dark matter.Comment: discussions added, version accepted by JHE
Probing GeV-scale MSSM neutralino dark matter in collider and direct detection experiments
Given the recent constraints from the dark matter (DM) direct detections, we
examine a light GeV-scale (2-30 GeV) neutralino DM in the alignment limit of
the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). In this limit without
decoupling, the heavy CP-even scalar plays the role of the Standard Model
(SM) Higgs boson while the other scalar can be rather light so that the DM
can annihilate through the resonance or into a pair of to achieve the
observed relic density. With the current collider and cosmological constraints,
we find that such a light neutralino DM above 6 GeV can be excluded by the
XENON-1T (2017) limits while the survivied parameter space below 6 GeV can be
fully covered by the future germanium-based light dark matter detections (such
as CDEX), by the Higgs coupling precison measurements or by the production
process at an electron-positron collider (Higgs factory).Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures. Discussions and references added, version

3-Methoxy-4-[3-(2-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propoxy]benzaldehyde
In the title molecule, C15H17N3O5, the dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazole rings is 3.69 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.614 (1) Å
A Calculation Method of X-Ray Emitted Intensity in Multi-Layer Films by Monte Carlo Simulation
A calculation method of X-ray emitted intensity in multi-layer films is proposed in this paper. The method is based on the work developed by us: (1) a simplified physical model of electron scattering and Monte Carlo evaluations in a single medium and in multi-layer media and (2) the theories and the formulae for excitation, absorption and fluorescence of characteristic X-rays. The intensity ratio of X-rays for the known thickness films, Au/Cu/Si and Cr/Ni/Si, were calculated at 20, 25 and 30 keV. Calculated results are compared with experimental values of electron microprobe analysis for the multi-layer film specimens, and the correspondence is excellent. The work lays foundations for X-ray quantitative microanalysis of multi-layer specimens
An Analytical Method of Determining Thickness of Multi-Layer Films with Electron Microprobe
In the previous work we have developed a series of theoretical corrections for calculating the emitted X-ray intensity in multi-layer films. By the use of these theories, along with careful experimental operation of the electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and Monte Carlo iteration calculation, the thickness of each layer in multi-layer films can be determined.
To test the reliability of this method, the multi-layer film specimens Au/Cu/Si, Cu/Au/Si and Ag/Cr/Si of known thicknesses were analyzed at 20, 25, 30 and 35 keV. The percentage relative errors between the thicknesses determined using the correction procedures and those measured using nuclear backscattering are less than 10%, the average value of the errors is 4.6%.
The method may be extended to the calculations of determining element concentrations for the multi-layer specimens of known thicknesses
2-Amino-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-7,7-dimethyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile hemihydrate
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C18H17ClN2O2·0.5H2O, contains two organic molecules and one solvent water molecule. In each organic molecule, the cyclohexene ring adopts an envelope conformation with the C atom connecting the two methyl groups on the flap; the 4H-pyran ring is nearly planar [maximum deviation = 0.113 (3) Å in one molecule and 0.089 (3) Å in the other molecule] and is approximately perpendicular to the chlorophenyl ring [dihedral angle = 86.43 (15)° in one molecule and 89.73 (15)° in the other molecule]. Intermolecular N—H⋯N, N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal
A Calculation Method for Quantitative X-Ray Microanalysis for Microparticle Specimens by Monte Carlo Simulation
A calculation method for quantitative X-ray microanalysis (QXMA) for microparticle specimens of a compound with various shapes is proposed in this paper. On the basis of a simplified physical model, the scattering of electrons in particles is calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. We have derived a series of evaluation formulae of the absorption and fluorescence of characteristic X-rays for the particles with regular shapes. With the use of these theories, along with an iteration calculation, compositions of microparticle specimens can be obtained from the measured X-ray intensity ratios. In order to examine the reliability of the method, a large number of electron probe experiments and analysis calculations were carried out for the microparticle specimens of a variety of geometric shapes, dimensions and compositions. Agreement of calculated concentrations using our method with known compositions of the analyzed particle specimens is fairly good. In practical work, calculation formulae for particle specimens with irregular shapes can be replaced by those of particles with approximate regular shapes
