Resonance structure in the {\gamma}{\gamma} and systems in dC interactions
Along with and {\eta} mesons, a resonance structure in the invariant
mass spectrum of two photons at M{\gamma}{\gamma} = 360 \pm 7 \pm 9 MeV is
observed in the reaction d + C \rightarrow {\gamma} + {\gamma} + X at momentum
2.75 GeV/c per nucleon. Estimates of its width and production cross section are
{\Gamma} = 64 \pm 18 MeV and = 98 \pm 24 {\mu}b,
respectively. The collected statistics amount to 2339 \pm 340 events of 1.5
\cdot 10^6 triggered interactions of a total number ~ 10^12 of dC-interactions.
The results on observation of the resonance in the invariant mass spectra of
two mesons are presented: the data obtained in the d + C \rightarrow
{\gamma} + {\gamma} reaction is confirmed by the d + C \rightarrow +
reaction: = 359.2 \pm 1.9 MeV, {\Gamma} = 48.9 \pm 4.9
MeV; the ratio of Br(R\rightarrow{\gamma}{\gamma}) /
Br(R\rightarrow) = (1.8 {\div} 3.7)\cdot10^-3.Comment: 10 pages, 11 figure
Baikal-GVD: status and prospects
Baikal-GVD is a next generation, kilometer-scale neutrino telescope under
construction in Lake Baikal. It is designed to detect astrophysical neutrino
fluxes at energies from a few TeV up to 100 PeV. GVD is formed by multi-megaton
subarrays (clusters). The array construction started in 2015 by deployment of a
reduced-size demonstration cluster named "Dubna". The first cluster in its
baseline configuration was deployed in 2016, the second in 2017 and the third
in 2018. The full scale GVD will be an array of ~10000 light sensors with an
instrumented volume of about 2 cubic km. The first phase (GVD-1) is planned to
be completed by 2020-2021. It will comprise 8 clusters with 2304 light sensors
in total. We describe the design of Baikal-GVD and present selected results
obtained in 2015-2017.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures. Conference proceedings for QUARKS201
Digital receivers for low-frequency radio telescopes UTR-2, URAN, GURT
This paper describes digital radio astronomical receivers used for decameter
and meter wavelength observations. This paper describes digital radio
astronomical receivers used for decameter and meter wavelength observations.
Since 1998, digital receivers performing on-the-fly dynamic spectrum
calculations or waveform data recording without data loss have been used at the
UTR-2 radio telescope, the URAN VLBI system, and the GURT new generation radio
telescope. Here we detail these receivers developed for operation in the strong
interference environment that prevails in the decameter wavelength range. Data
collected with these receivers allowed us to discover numerous radio
astronomical objects and phenomena at low frequencies, a summary of which is
also presented.Comment: 24 pages, 15 figure
