A Broadband UHF Tag Antenna For Near-Field and Far-Field RFID Communications
The paper deals with the design of passive broadband tag antenna for Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) band. The antenna is intended for both near and far fields Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications. The meander dipole tag antenna geometry modification is designed for frequency bandwidth increasing. The measured bandwidth of the proposed broadband Tag antenna is more than 140 MHz (820–960 MHz), which can cover the entire UHF RFID band. A comparison between chip impedance of datasheet and the measured chip impedance has been used in our simulations. The proposed progressive meandered antenna structure, with an overall size of 77 mm × 14 mm × 0.787 mm, produces strong and uniform magnetic field distribution in the near-field zone. The antenna impedance is matched to common UHF chips in market simply by tuning its capacitive and inductive values since a perfect matching is required in the antenna design in order to enhance the near and the far field communications. Measurements confirm that the designed antenna exhibits good performance of Tag identification for both near-field and far-field UHF RFID applications
Inclusive Breakup Theory of Three-Body Halos
We present a recently developed theory for the inclusive breakup of
three-fragment projectiles within a four-body spectator model
\cite{CarPLB2017}, for the treatment of the elastic and inclusive non-elastic
break up reactions involving weakly bound three-cluster nuclei in
/ collisions. The four-body theory is an extension of the
three-body approaches developed in the 80's by Ichimura, Autern and Vincent
(IAV) \cite{IAV1985}, Udagawa and Tamura (UT) \cite{UT1981} and Hussein and
McVoy (HM) \cite{HM1985}. We expect that experimentalists shall be encouraged
to search for more information about the system in the elastic
breakup cross section and that also further developments and extensions of the
surrogate method will be pursued, based on the inclusive non-elastic breakup
part of the spectrum.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, Contribution to the Proceedings of Fusion17:

Irreversibility and the arrow of time in a quenched quantum system
Irreversibility is one of the most intriguing concepts in physics. While
microscopic physical laws are perfectly reversible, macroscopic average
behavior has a preferred direction of time. According to the second law of
thermodynamics, this arrow of time is associated with a positive mean entropy
production. Using a nuclear magnetic resonance setup, we measure the
nonequilibrium entropy produced in an isolated spin-1/2 system following fast
quenches of an external magnetic field and experimentally demonstrate that it
is equal to the entropic distance, expressed by the Kullback-Leibler
divergence, between a microscopic process and its time-reverse. Our result
addresses the concept of irreversibility from a microscopic quantum standpoint.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures, RevTeX4-1; Accepted for publication Phys. Rev.
