Modelling and record technologies of address fiber Bragg structures based on gratings with two symmetrical pi-phase shifts

Address fiber Bragg structures (AFBS) make it possible to effectively solve the problems of interrogation and multiplexing of sensors in multi-sensor networks with microwave photonic processing of information. Based on a complex method of transmission matrices and the coupling of directional modes, a mathematical model was constructed to determine the spectral profile of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with two discrete symmetric phase π shifts and parameters of 2π-FBG AFBS based on them. Based on the study of the mathematical model, the possibility of selecting the necessary parameters of 2π-FBG AFBS is shown, which allow forming its spectral profile in such a way that the specified structure can be used as a sensitive element of the sensor and provides the necessary linear displacement in the optical range and preserves the required frequency separation between discrete symmetric phase shifts location in the radio frequency range. The analysis of the formation and recording methods for 2π-FBG AFBS was carried out. To implement given structures, the technology, using of an ultraviolet argon laser, the classic phase masks with sequential recording of several arrays with precise movement of the fiber were chosen

Modelling and record technologies of address fiber Bragg structures based on two identical ultra narrow gratings with different central wavelengthes

Address fiber Bragg structures (AFBS) make it possible to effectively solve the problem of sensors interrogation and multiplexing in multi-sensor networks with microwave photonic processing of information. Based on the method of inverse Fourier transform, a mathematical model of the optical fiber refractive index profile was constructed to form 2-FBG AFBS with two FBG with identical spectral responses at separated wavelengths. As the initial parameters for the construction of the mathematical model, the desired spectral profile of 2-FBG AFBS was specified, including the reflection coefficient and the width of the transmission band of its two identical ultra-narrow-band gratings and the separation between them. On the basis of the study of the mathematical model, the possibility of selecting the necessary values of the refractive index and the laws of its modulation is shown, allowing the spectral profile of 2-FBG AFBS to be formed so that they can be used as a sensitive element, transforming information from optical range to radiofrequency one. The analysis of the formation and recording methods for 2-FBG AFBS was carried out. To implement given structures, the technology, using of an ultraviolet argon laser, the classic phase masks with sequential recording of several arrays with precise movement and strain of the fiber were chosen

Effects of Concentration Titanium on Threshold Character of Deuterium Desorption Temperature Range from Mg-based Composites

The plasma evaporation-sputtering method was applied to make composite materials of the Mg-Ti system. The ion-implanted deuterium desorption temperature variations as a function of the component concentration were studied. It has been established that, by introducing titanium into magnesium, the deuterium desorption temperature can be appreciably decreased (to 400-450 K) in comparison with the case of deuterium desorption from magnesium ( 800 K). A step-like shape of the curve of deuterium desorption temperature evidences on the presence of two different structure states of the Mg-Ti system depending on the ratio of components. The deuterium temperature decrease can be caused by filamentary inclusions of insoluble component (titanium) atoms formed in the process of composite making and annealing, providing the deuterium diffusion from the sample at a lower temperature (channels for deuterium diffusion through the surface barrier). The deuterium desorption data obtained on the example of Mg-Ti, Mg-V and Mg-Zr composites provide support for further research into hydrogen storage materials containing low-soluble chemical elements in the alloy component.

High pTp_{T} non-photonic electron production in pp+pp collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 200 GeV

We present the measurement of non-photonic electron production at high transverse momentum ($p_T >$ 2.5 GeV/$c$) in $p$ + $p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV using data recorded during 2005 and 2008 by the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The measured cross-sections from the two runs are consistent with each other despite a large difference in photonic background levels due to different detector configurations. We compare the measured non-photonic electron cross-sections with previously published RHIC data and pQCD calculations. Using the relative contributions of B and D mesons to non-photonic electrons, we determine the integrated cross sections of electrons ($\frac{e^++e^-}{2}$) at 3 GeV/$c < p_T <~$10 GeV/$c$ from bottom and charm meson decays to be ${d\sigma_{(B\to e)+(B\to D \to e)} \over dy_e}|_{y_e=0}$ = 4.0$\pm0.5$({\rm stat.})$\pm1.1$({\rm syst.}) nb and ${d\sigma_{D\to e} \over dy_e}|_{y_e=0}$ = 6.2$\pm0.7$({\rm stat.})$\pm1.5$({\rm syst.}) nb, respectively.Comment: 17 pages, 17 figure

Evolution of the differential transverse momentum correlation function with centrality in Au+Au collisions at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV

We present first measurements of the evolution of the differential transverse momentum correlation function, {\it C}, with collision centrality in Au+Au interactions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV. {\it C} exhibits a strong dependence on collision centrality that is qualitatively similar to that of number correlations previously reported. We use the observed longitudinal broadening of the near-side peak of {\it C} with increasing centrality to estimate the ratio of the shear viscosity to entropy density, $\eta/s$, of the matter formed in central Au+Au interactions. We obtain an upper limit estimate of $\eta/s$ that suggests that the produced medium has a small viscosity per unit entropy.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, STAR paper published in Phys. Lett.

Single Spin Asymmetry ANA_N in Polarized Proton-Proton Elastic Scattering at s=200\sqrt{s}=200 GeV

We report a high precision measurement of the transverse single spin asymmetry $A_N$ at the center of mass energy $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV in elastic proton-proton scattering by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The $A_N$ was measured in the four-momentum transfer squared $t$ range $0.003 \leqslant |t| \leqslant 0.035$ \GeVcSq, the region of a significant interference between the electromagnetic and hadronic scattering amplitudes. The measured values of $A_N$ and its $t$-dependence are consistent with a vanishing hadronic spin-flip amplitude, thus providing strong constraints on the ratio of the single spin-flip to the non-flip amplitudes. Since the hadronic amplitude is dominated by the Pomeron amplitude at this $\sqrt{s}$, we conclude that this measurement addresses the question about the presence of a hadronic spin flip due to the Pomeron exchange in polarized proton-proton elastic scattering.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure

In addition to classical problems of this field, actual questions of epigenetic regulation are discussed. The authors selected for discussion what seem to be the most interesting concepts and hypotheses. Mathematical approaches are described in a simplified language to attract attention to the most important directions of this field

Measurement of event-shape observables in Z→ℓ+ℓ− events in pp collisions at √ s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

Event-shape observables measured using charged particles in inclusive $Z$-boson events are presented, using the electron and muon decay modes of the $Z$ bosons. The measurements are based on an integrated luminosity of $1.1 {\rm fb}^{-1}$ of proton--proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV. Charged-particle distributions, excluding the lepton--antilepton pair from the $Z$-boson decay, are measured in different ranges of transverse momentum of the $Z$ boson. Distributions include multiplicity, scalar sum of transverse momenta, beam thrust, transverse thrust, spherocity, and $\mathcal{F}$-parameter, which are in particular sensitive to properties of the underlying event at small values of the $Z$-boson transverse momentum. The Sherpa event generator shows larger deviations from the measured observables than Pythia8 and Herwig7. Typically, all three Monte Carlo generators provide predictions that are in better agreement with the data at high $Z$-boson transverse momenta than at low $Z$-boson transverse momenta and for the observables that are less sensitive to the number of charged particles in the event.Comment: 36 pages plus author list + cover page (54 pages total), 14 figures, 4 tables, submitted to EPJC, All figures including auxiliary figures are available at http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/STDM-2014-0

Measurement Of Charge Multiplicity Asymmetry Correlations In High-energy Nucleus-nucleus Collisions At Snn =200 Gev

A study is reported of the same- and opposite-sign charge-dependent azimuthal correlations with respect to the event plane in Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV. The charge multiplicity asymmetries between the up/down and left/right hemispheres relative to the event plane are utilized. The contributions from statistical fluctuations and detector effects were subtracted from the (co-)variance of the observed charge multiplicity asymmetries. In the mid- to most-central collisions, the same- (opposite-) sign pairs are preferentially emitted in back-to-back (aligned on the same-side) directions. The charge separation across the event plane, measured by the difference, Δ, between the like- and unlike-sign up/down-left/right correlations, is largest near the event plane. The difference is found to be proportional to the event-by-event final-state particle ellipticity (via the observed second-order harmonic v2obs), where Δ=[1.3±1.4(stat)-1.0+4.0(syst)]×10- 5+[3.2±0.2(stat)-0.3+0.4(syst)]×10-3v2obs for 20-40% Au+Au collisions. The implications for the proposed chiral magnetic effect are discussed. © 2014 American Physical Society.894NRF-2012004024; National Research FoundationArsene, I., (2005) Nucl. Phys.
