Simulation of Radiation Effects in SiO2/Si Structures

We describe space-time evolution of electric charge induced in dielectric layer of simulated metal-insulator-semiconductor structures due to irradiation with X-rays. The system of equations used as a basis of the simulation model is solved iteratively by efficient numerical method. The obtained simulation results correlate well with the respective data presented in other scientific publications

Optimization of use conditions for cathodic arc nickel coating doped with phosphorus

The results of tribological tests for a cathodic arc nickel coating doped with phosphorus are presented. The coating (thickness of 2 μm) is applied by a vacuum arc method from a nickel target with 6% phosphorus. The friction coefficient (Cfᵣ) was determined on the tribometer, the depth of wear h of the coating after tribological tests was determined by the contact profilometry method, and the specific volumetric wear (ω) was calculated. The obtained values of Cfᵣ, ω, and h were used to optimize the parameters of tribological tests (load and slip frequency).Представлено результати триботехнічних випробувань катодно-дугового нікелевого покриття, легованого фосфором.

Study of plasma potential, its fluctuations and turbulence rotation in the T-10 tokamak

Plasma potential, its oscillations and turbulence rotation were studied on T-10 in a wide range of ohmic and ECRH regimes. The potential has negative sign over the whole plasma cross section. Broadband turbulence tends to rotate with E×B drift velocity. Rotation and potential evolve together with plasma confinement. Frequency of potential oscillations in the range of geodesic acoustic modes does not change with radius that disagrees with theoretical predictions.Потенциал плазмы, его колебания и вращение исследовались на токамаке T-10 в широком диапазоне омических и ЭЦР-режимов. Потенциал – отрицательный по всему сечению плазмы. Вращение турбулентности соответствует вращению за счет (E×B)-дрейфа. Вращение и потенциал чувствительны к изменениям удержания. Частота колебаний потенциала в диапазоне геодезических акустических мод не меняется по радиусу, что не соответствует локальной теории ГАМ.Потенціал плазми, його коливання та обертання було досліджено на токамаці Т-10 у широкому діапазоні омічних та ЕЦР-режимів. Потенціал має негативну величину по всьому перетину плазми. Обертання турбуленції відповідає обертанню за рахунок (E×B)-дрейфу. Обертання і потенціал чутливі до зміни утримання. Частота коливань потенціалу у діапазоні геодезичних акустичних мод ні змінюється в залежності від радіусу, що не відповідає локальній теорії ГАМ

Integrable systems on the sphere associated with genus three algebraic curves

New variables of separation for few integrable systems on the two-dimensional sphere with higher order integrals of motion are considered in detail. We explicitly describe canonical transformations of initial physical variables to the variables of separation and vice versa, calculate the corresponding quadratures and discuss some possible integrable deformations of initial systems.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX with AMS font

Model-independent search for CP violation in D0→K−K+π−π+ and D0→π−π+π+π− decays

A search for CP violation in the phase-space structures of D0 and View the MathML source decays to the final states K−K+π−π+ and π−π+π+π− is presented. The search is carried out with a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 collected in 2011 by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. For the K−K+π−π+ final state, the four-body phase space is divided into 32 bins, each bin with approximately 1800 decays. The p-value under the hypothesis of no CP violation is 9.1%, and in no bin is a CP asymmetry greater than 6.5% observed. The phase space of the π−π+π+π− final state is partitioned into 128 bins, each bin with approximately 2500 decays. The p-value under the hypothesis of no CP violation is 41%, and in no bin is a CP asymmetry greater than 5.5% observed. All results are consistent with the hypothesis of no CP violation at the current sensitivity

Search for the lepton-flavor-violating decays Bs0→e±μ∓ and B0→e±μ∓

A search for the lepton-flavor-violating decays Bs0→e±μ∓ and B0→e±μ∓ is performed with a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0  fb-1 of pp collisions at √s=7  TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment. The observed number of Bs0→e±μ∓ and B0→e±μ∓ candidates is consistent with background expectations. Upper limits on the branching fractions of both decays are determined to be B(Bs0→e±μ∓)101  TeV/c2 and MLQ(B0→e±μ∓)>126  TeV/c2 at 95% C.L., and are a factor of 2 higher than the previous bounds

Absolute luminosity measurements with the LHCb detector at the LHC

Absolute luminosity measurements are of general interest for colliding-beam experiments at storage rings. These measurements are necessary to determine the absolute cross-sections of reaction processes and are valuable to quantify the performance of the accelerator. Using data taken in 2010, LHCb has applied two methods to determine the absolute scale of its luminosity measurements for proton-proton collisions at the LHC with a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. In addition to the classic "van der Meer scan" method a novel technique has been developed which makes use of direct imaging of the individual beams using beam-gas and beam-beam interactions. This beam imaging method is made possible by the high resolution of the LHCb vertex detector and the close proximity of the detector to the beams, and allows beam parameters such as positions, angles and widths to be determined. The results of the two methods have comparable precision and are in good agreement. Combining the two methods, an overall precision of 3.5% in the absolute luminosity determination is reached. The techniques used to transport the absolute luminosity calibration to the full 2010 data-taking period are presented.Comment: 48 pages, 19 figures.

Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions BR(B0 -> K*0 gamma)/BR(Bs0 -> phi gamma) and the direct CP asymmetry in B0 -> K*0 gamma

The ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0 -> K*0 gamma and Bs0 phi gamma has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb-1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s)=7 TeV. The value obtained is BR(B0 -> K*0 gamma)/BR(Bs0 -> phi gamma) = 1.23 +/- 0.06(stat.) +/- 0.04(syst.) +/- 0.10(fs/fd), where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for BR(B0 -> K*0 gamma), the branching fraction BR(Bs0 -> phi gamma) is measured to be (3.5 +/- 0.4) x 10^{-5}. The direct CP asymmetry in B0 -> K*0 gamma decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be A(CP)(B0 -> K*0 gamma) = (0.8 +/- 1.7(stat.) +/- 0.9(syst.))%. Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations.Comment: 21 pages, 3 figues, 4 table
