Simultaneous analysis of elastic scattering and transfer/breakup channels for the 6He+208Pb reaction at energies near the Coulomb barrier
The elastic and alpha-production channels for the 6He+208Pb reaction are
investigated at energies around the Coulomb barrier (E_{lab}=14, 16, 18, 22,
and 27 MeV). The effect of the two-neutron transfer channels on the elastic
scattering has been studied within the Coupled-Reaction-Channels (CRC) method.
We find that the explicit inclusion of these channels allows a simultaneous
description of the elastic data and the inclusive alpha cross sections at
backward angles. Three-body Continuum-Discretized Coupled-Channels (CDCC)
calculations are found to reproduce the elastic data, but not the
transfer/breakup data. The trivially-equivalent local polarization potential
(TELP) derived from the CRC and CDCC calculations are found to explain the
features found in previous phenomenological optical model calculations for this
system.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures (replaced with updated version
A constitutive model for analyzing martensite formation in austenitic steels deforming at high strain rates
This study presents a constitutive model for steels exhibiting SIMT, based on previous seminal works, and the corresponding methodology to estimate their parameters. The model includes temperature effects in the phase transformation kinetics, and in the softening of each solid phase through the use of a homogenization technique. The model was validated with experimental results of dynamic tensile tests on AISI 304 sheet steel specimens, and their predictions correlate well with the experimental evidence in terms of macroscopic stress–strain curves and martensite volume fraction formed at high strain rates. The work shows the value of considering temperature effects in the modeling of metastable austenitic steels submitted to impact conditions. Regarding most of the works reported in the literature on SIMT, modeling of the martensitic transformation at high strain rates is the distinctive feature of the present paper.The researchers of the University Carlos III of Madrid are indebted to the Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid (Project CCG10-UC3M/DPI-5596)) and to the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación de España (Project DPI/2008-06408) for the financial support received which allowed conducting part of this work. The authors express their thanks to Mr. Philippe and Mr. Tobisch from the company Zwick for the facilities provided to perform the tensile tests at high strain rates

Kinematics of the Outflow From The Young Star DG Tau B: Rotation in the vicinities of an optical jet
We present CO(2-1) line and 1300 m continuum observations made
with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) of the young star DG Tau B. We find, in the
continuum observations, emission arising from the circumstellar disk
surrounding DG Tau B. The CO(2-1) line observations, on the other hand,
revealed emission associated with the disk and the asymmetric outflow related
with this source. Velocity asymmetries about the flow axis are found over the
entire length of the flow. The amplitude of the velocity differences is of the
order of 1 -- 2 km s over distances of about 300 -- 400 AU. We interpret
them as a result of outflow rotation. The sense of the outflow and disk
rotation is the same. Infalling gas from a rotating molecular core cannot
explain the observed velocity gradient within the flow. Magneto-centrifugal
disk winds or photoevaporated disk winds can produce the observed rotational
speeds if they are ejected from a keplerian disk at radii of several tens of
AU. Nevertheless, these slow winds ejected from large radii are not very
massive, and cannot account for the observed linear momentum and angular
momentum rates of the molecular flow. Thus, the observed flow is probably
entrained material from the parent cloud. DG Tau B is a good laboratory to
model in detail the entrainment process and see if it can account for the
observed angular momentum.Comment: Accepted to Ap
