Probing Transverse Momentum Broadening via Dihadron and Hadron-jet Angular Correlations in Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions
Dijet, dihadron, hadron-jet angular correlations have been reckoned as
important probes of the transverse momentum broadening effects in relativistic
nuclear collisions. When a pair of high-energy jets created in hard collisions
traverse the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions, they become
de-correlated due to the vacuum soft gluon radiation associated with the
Sudakov logarithms and the medium-induced transverse momentum broadening. For
the first time, we employ the systematical resummation formalism and establish
a baseline calculation to describe the dihadron and hadron-jet angular
correlation data in and peripheral collisions where the medium effect
is negligible. We demonstrate that the medium-induced broadening and the so-called jet quenching parameter can be
extracted from the angular de-correlations observed in collisions. A
global analysis of dihadron and hadron-jet angular correlation data
renders the best fit for a
quark jet at RHIC top energy. Further experimental and theoretical efforts
along the direction of this work shall significantly advance the quantitative
understanding of transverse momentum broadening and help us acquire
unprecedented knowledge of jet quenching parameter in relativistic heavy-ion
collisions.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
1082 Free-breathing single-shot DENSE myocardial strain imaging using deformable registration
Free-breathing scans are often desirable in patients who find breath-holding difficult. We present a new approach for free-breathing myocardial strain imaging with displacement-encoding (DENSE) [1]. It acquires images with a single-shot sequence and removes respiratory motion using deformable registration
On the Development and Application of FOG
Gyroscope is a type of angular velocity measuring device, which can precisely determine the orientation of moving objects. It was first employed in navigation and later became an inertial navigation instrument widely used in modern aviation, aerospace, and national defense industries. As a vital representative of gyroscope, the fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG) has advantages in terms of compact structure, high precision, high sensitivity, and high environmental adaptability. FOG has been broadly utilized in many fields, and is also a key component of modern navigation instruments. In this paper, the history, classification, performance indicators, and application requirements of gyroscope are briefly summarized. The development history of FOG based on Sagnac effect is described in detail. The three generations of FOG are interferometric FOG, resonant FOG, and stimulated Brillouin scattering FOG. At the same time, this chapter summarizes the development and research situation of FOG in the United States, Japan, France, and other major developing countries, and compares the application of FOG in various international companies
Experimental and numerical studies on multi-spherical sliding friction isolation bearing
An innovative multi-spherical sliding friction isolation (MSFI) bearing has recently been developed. The novel isolator has efficient energy dissipation capacity and enough displacement capacity under strong earthquake excitations. The MSFI bearing is completely passive devices, yet shows smart stiffness and smart damping under external excitation. The principles of operation and force-displacement relationship of the novel isolator are presented in this paper. The sliding order of all sliding surfaces and force-displacement hysteretic relationship are verified through a displacement-control testing program, and numerical analysis of the MSFI bearing under low cyclic loading is carried out based on ABAQUS program. The results show the sliding order and force-displacement relationship of the MSFI bearing derived from theoretical analysis results and numerical simulation results are well agree with experimental data which the compression-shear testing of the MSFI bearing specimen with the identical curvature radii and friction coefficients. The adaptive behavior of MSFI bearing permits the isolation system to be separately optimized for multiple levels of seismic intensity and ground motions
Anomalous Thermal Transport of SrTiO Driven by Anharmonic Phonon Renormalization
SrTiO has been extensively investigated owing to its abundant degrees of
freedom for modulation. However, the microscopic mechanism of thermal transport
especially the relationship between phonon scattering and lattice distortion
during the phase transition are missing and unclear. Based on deep-potential
molecular dynamics and self-consistent \textit{ab initio} lattice dynamics, we
explore the lattice anharmonicity-induced tetragonal-to-cubic phase transition
and explain this anomalous behavior during the phase transition. Our results
indicate the significant role of the renormalization of third-order interatomic
force constants to second-order terms. Our work provides a robust framework for
evaluating the thermal transport properties during structural transformation,
benefitting the future design of promising thermal and phononic materials and
devices
Time-Delayed Magnetic Control and Narrowing of X-Ray frequency Spectra in Two-Target Nuclear Forward Scattering
Controlling and narrowing x-ray frequency spectra in magnetically perturbed
two-target nuclear forward scattering is theoretically studied. We show that
different hard-x-ray spectral redistributions can be achieved by single or
multiple switching of magnetic field in nuclear targets. Our scheme can
generate x-ray spectral lines with tenfold intensity enhancement and spectral
width narrower than four times the nuclear natural linewidth. The present
results pave the way towards a brighter and flexible x-ray source for precision
spectroscopy of nuclear resonances using modern synchrotron radiation.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
