Plasma diagnostics in the optical and X-ray regions on the plasma focus device PF-4 (installation Tyulpan)
The results of experiments received on the plasma focus (PF) device with energy stored equal 4 kJ are represented.
Photos of the current plasma sheath (CPS), pre-pinch, sphere-like plasma formations are produced with the help of the
electron-optical converter contained a gated micro-channel plate (MCP) and the CCD-camera imaging system in the
visible region. The redial velocity of the CPS is about 10⁷ cm/s. Neon plasma electron density measured with the help of
the interferograms in the visible region and the spectrums in the soft X-ray region equals 3·10¹⁸ cm⁻³. Electron temperature
equals about 200 eV. Discharge integral photos were obtained with the help of the soft X-ray pinhole camera. Pictures with
2 μs resolution of the plasma luminescence above PF anode region were made by CCD-camera

Laser shadow and interferometric investigation of the structure and dynamics of plasma in PF-3 facility
The work presents the laser investigation of a plasma focus discharge in neon. This investigation was done in connection with the recently discussed possibility of the use of such type of discharges for the creation of the soft X-ray source and its application for the compression of the solid targets (liners). Some features of a plasma focus discharge in 2.8 MJ Plasma Focus such as a complicated structure of current-plasma sheath (CPS), its relation to soft X-ray (SXR) pulse emitted from a pinching region were studied by developed laser diagnostics.У роботі представлене лазерне дослідження плазмово-фокусного розряду в неоні на установці ПФ-3.

High-statistics measurement of the pion form factor in the rho-meson energy range with the CMD-2 detector
We present a measurement of the pion form factor based on e+e- annihilation
data from the CMD-2 detector in the energy range 0.6<sqrt(s)<1.0 GeV with a
systematic uncertainty of 0.8%. A data sample is five times larger than that

Structure and Stresses in a System of Two Mechanical Twins in Titanium
In the work we have presented the results of experimental studies and mathematical modeling for the processes of the structure formation in a transition zone of wedge-type twins system in commercially pure titanium. The process of interaction of structure defects with twinning dislocations during the formation of a wedge-type twin was taken into consideration. It is shown that the interaction alters the stress maximum in vicinity of boundaries in the system two wedge-type twins
ϒ production in p–Pb collisions at √sNN=8.16 TeV
ϒ production in p–Pb interactions is studied at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon collision √sNN = 8.16 TeV with the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC. The measurement is performed reconstructing bottomonium resonances via their dimuon decay channel, in the centre-of-mass rapidity intervals 2.03 < ycms < 3.53 and −4.46 < ycms < −2.96, down to zero transverse momentum. In this work, results on the ϒ(1S) production cross section as a function of rapidity and transverse momentum are presented. The corresponding nuclear modification factor shows a suppression of the ϒ(1S) yields with respect to pp collisions, both at forward and backward rapidity. This suppression is stronger in the low transverse momentum region and shows no significant dependence on the centrality of the interactions. Furthermore, the ϒ(2S) nuclear modification factor is evaluated, suggesting a suppression similar to that of the ϒ(1S). A first measurement of the ϒ(3S) has also been performed. Finally, results are compared with previous ALICE measurements in p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV and with theoretical calculations.publishedVersio

(Anti-)deuteron production in pp collisions at 1as=13TeV
The study of (anti-)deuteron production in pp collisions has proven to be a powerful tool to investigate the formation mechanism of loosely bound states in high-energy hadronic collisions. In this paper the production of (anti-)deuterons is studied as a function of the charged particle multiplicity in inelastic pp collisions at s=13 TeV using the ALICE experiment. Thanks to the large number of accumulated minimum bias events, it has been possible to measure (anti-)deuteron production in pp collisions up to the same charged particle multiplicity (d Nch/ d \u3b7 3c 26) as measured in p\u2013Pb collisions at similar centre-of-mass energies. Within the uncertainties, the deuteron yield in pp collisions resembles the one in p\u2013Pb interactions, suggesting a common formation mechanism behind the production of light nuclei in hadronic interactions. In this context the measurements are compared with the expectations of coalescence and statistical hadronisation models (SHM)
Multiplicity dependence of inclusive J/psi production at midrapidity in pp collisions at root s=13 TeV
Measurements of the inclusive J/psi yield as a function of charged-particle pseudorapidity density dN(ch)/d eta in pp collisions at root s = 13 TeV with ALICE at the LHC are reported. The J/psi meson yield is measured at midrapidity (vertical bar y vertical bar <0.9) in the dielectron channel, for events selected based on the charged-particle multiplicity at midrapidity (vertical bar eta vertical bar <1) and at forward rapidity (-3.7 <eta <-1.7 and 2.8 <eta <5.1); both observables are normalized to their corresponding averages in minimum bias events. The increase of the normalized J/psi yield with normalized dN(ch)/d eta is significantly stronger than linear and dependent on the transverse momentum. The data are compared to theoretical predictions, which describe the observed trends well, albeit not always quantitatively. (C) 2020 European Organization for Nuclear Research.

J/psi production as a function of charged-particle pseudorapidity density in p-Pb collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV
We report measurements of the inclusive J/ψ yield and average transverse momentum as a function of charged-particle pseudorapidity density dNch/dη in p–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02TeV with ALICE at the LHC. The observables are normalised to their corresponding averages in non-single diffractive events. An increase of the normalised J/ψ yield with normalised dNch/dη, measured at mid-rapidity, is observed at mid-rapidity and backward rapidity. At forward rapidity, a saturation of the relative yield is observed for high charged-particle multiplicities. The normalised average transverse momentum at forward and backward rapidities increases with multiplicity at low multiplicities and saturates beyond moderate multiplicities. In addition, the forward-to-backward nuclear modification factor ratio is also reported, showing an increasing suppression of J/ψ production at forward rapidity with respect to backward rapidity for increasing charged-particle multiplicity
