Role of the parameters of external fields acting on a spin system in harmonic-generation processes

Crossed dc and ac magnetic fields are applied to a paramagnet in a continuous regime in an investigation of the induction signal at the doubled and tripled pump frequencies. The experimental object is powdered diphenyl picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), and the pump frequency used is 11 MHz. It is shown that harmonic generation and the orientational dependences of the harmonics arise due to nonlinear variations of the magnitude and the "rocking" angle of the vector sum of the external fields and the precession frequency of the spin magnetization. Anomalies are observed in the Bloch-Siegert effect. © 1997 American Institute of Physics

Characteristics of anomalously high multiplicity cosmic ray interactions

Six events with the number of secondaries ranging from 250 to several thousands were registered by an installation consisting of a thin graphite target, above and under which are placed photolayers followed by the usual lead X-ray film and emulsion chambers. Data concerning the number of secondaries and their angular distribution are given. The variance of the angular distribution is compared with data obtained at accelerator energies

Solar Activity Modeling: From Subgranular Dynamical Scales to the Solar Cycles

Dynamical effects of solar magnetoconvection span a wide range spatial and temporal scales that extends from the interior to the corona and from fast turbulent motions to the global-Sun magnetic activity. To study the solar activity on short temporal scales (from minutes to hours), we use 3D radiative MHD simulations that allow us to investigate complex turbulent interactions that drive various phenomena, such as plasma eruptions, spontaneous formation of magnetic structures, funnel-like structures and magnetic loops in the corona, and others. In particular, we focus on multi-scale processes of energy exchange across the different layers, which contribute to the corona heating and eruptive dynamics, as well as interlinks between different layers of the solar interior and atmosphere. For modeling the global-scale activity we use the data assimilation approach that has demonstrated great potential for building reliable long-term forecasts of solar activity. In particular, it has been shown that the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) method applied to the Parker-Kleeorin-Ruzmakin dynamo model is capable of predicting solar activity up to one sunspot cycle ahead in time, as well as estimating the properties of the next cycle a few years before it begins. In this presentation, using the available magnetogram data, we discuss development of the methodology and forecast quality criteria (including forecast uncertainties and sources of errors). We demonstrate the influence of observational limitation on the prediction accuracy. We present the EnKF predictions of the upcoming Solar Cycle 25 based on both the sunspot number series and observed magnetic fields, and discuss the uncertainties and potential of the data assimilation approach for modeling and forecasting the solar activity

The process of beneficiation of fine chrome sludges on concentration tables

Processing industrial products and technogenic waste is an urgent task in mining and metallurgical industry. In Kazakhstan, processing of chrome ores of the Kempirsay group of deposits creates more than 15 million tons of sludge tailings with a chromium oxide content of up to 30 wt. %. The best results of processing fine chrome raw materials are demonstrated by Turkish enterprises that use sludge separation by size classes and enrichment on concentration tables. The authors performed a research on Dubersay tailing dump chromium sludge enrichment (Kazakhstan) using similar technological approaches, which allowed to obtain concentrates containing 51 wt.% Chromium oxide and increase the yield of rich fine chromium concentrates by 14 % compared to the existing enrichment scheme
