On neutron number dependence of B(E1;0+ --> 1-) reduced transition probability
A neutron number dependence of the E1 0+ --> 1- reduced transition
probability in spherical even--even nuclei is analysed within the Q--phonon
approach in the fermionic space to describe the structure of collective states.
Microscopic calculations of the E1 0+ --> 1- transition matrix elements are
carried out for the Xe isotopes based on the RPA for the ground state wave
function. A satisfactory description of the experimental data is obtained.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
Relativistic Jets and Long-Duration Gamma-ray Bursts from the Birth of Magnetars
We present time-dependent axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the
interaction of a relativistic magnetized wind produced by a proto-magnetar with
a surrounding stellar envelope, in the first seconds after core
collapse. We inject a super-magnetosonic wind with ergs
s into a cavity created by an outgoing supernova shock. A strong
toroidal magnetic field builds up in the bubble of plasma and magnetic field
that is at first inertially confined by the progenitor star. This drives a jet
out along the polar axis of the star, even though the star and the magnetar
wind are each spherically symmetric. The jet has the properties needed to
produce a long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB). At s after core bounce,
the jet has escaped the host star and the Lorentz factor of the material in the
jet at large radii cm is similar to that in the magnetar wind
near the source. Most of the spindown power of the central magnetar escapes via
the relativistic jet. There are fluctuations in the Lorentz factor and energy
flux in the jet on second timescale. These may contribute to
variability in GRB emission (e.g., via internal shocks).Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, accepted in MNRAS letter, presented at the

Algorithm based comparison between the integral method and harmonic analysis of the timing jitter of diode-based and solid-state pulsed laser sources
AbstractA comparison between two methods of timing jitter calculation is presented. The integral method utilizes spectral area of the single side-band (SSB) phase noise spectrum to calculate root mean square (rms) timing jitter. In contrast the harmonic analysis exploits the uppermost noise power in high harmonics to retrieve timing fluctuation. The results obtained show that a consistent timing jitter of 1.2ps is found by the integral method and harmonic analysis in gain-switched laser diodes with an external cavity scheme. A comparison of the two approaches in noise measurement of a diode-pumped Yb:KY(WO4)2 passively mode-locked laser is also shown in which both techniques give 2ps rms timing jitter
