Spin asymmetry A_1^d and the spin-dependent structure function g_1^d of the deuteron at low values of x and Q^2
We present a precise measurement of the deuteron longitudinal spin asymmetry
A_1^d and of the deuteron spin-dependent structure function g_1^d at Q^2 < 1
GeV^2 and 4*10^-5 < x < 2.5*10^-2 based on the data collected by the COMPASS
experiment at CERN during the years 2002 and 2003. The statistical precision is
tenfold better than that of the previous measurement in this region. The
measured A_1^d and g_1^d are found to be consistent with zero in the whole
range of x.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figure
Gluon polarization in the nucleon from quasi-real photoproduction of high-pT hadron pairs
We present a determination of the gluon polarization Delta G/G in the
nucleon, based on the helicity asymmetry of quasi-real photoproduction events,
Q^2<1(GeV/c)^2, with a pair of large transverse-momentum hadrons in the final
state. The data were obtained by the COMPASS experiment at CERN using a 160 GeV
polarized muon beam scattered on a polarized 6-LiD target. The helicity
asymmetry for the selected events is = 0.002 +- 0.019(stat.) +-
0.003(syst.). From this value, we obtain in a leading-order QCD analysis Delta
G/G=0.024 +- 0.089(stat.) +- 0.057(syst.) at x_g = 0.095 and mu^2 =~ 3
(GeV}/c)^2.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
The COMPASS Experiment at CERN
The COMPASS experiment makes use of the CERN SPS high-intensitymuon and
hadron beams for the investigation of the nucleon spin structure and the
spectroscopy of hadrons. One or more outgoing particles are detected in
coincidence with the incoming muon or hadron. A large polarized target inside a
superconducting solenoid is used for the measurements with the muon beam.
Outgoing particles are detected by a two-stage, large angle and large momentum
range spectrometer. The setup is built using several types of tracking
detectors, according to the expected incident rate, required space resolution
and the solid angle to be covered. Particle identification is achieved using a
RICH counter and both hadron and electromagnetic calorimeters. The setup has
been successfully operated from 2002 onwards using a muon beam. Data with a
hadron beam were also collected in 2004. This article describes the main
features and performances of the spectrometer in 2004; a short summary of the
2006 upgrade is also given.Comment: 84 papes, 74 figure
Induced magnetic anisotropy features in FeCrSiBNbCu nanocrystalline alloy: Role of stress distribution proven by direct X-ray measurements
Measurement of the Spin Structure of the Deuteron in the DIS Region
We present a new measurement of the longitudinal spin asymmetry A_1^d and the
spin-dependent structure function g_1^d of the deuteron in the range 1 GeV^2 <
Q^2 < 100 GeV^2 and 0.004< x <0.7. The data were obtained by the COMPASS
experiment at CERN using a 160 GeV polarised muon beam and a large polarised
6-LiD target. The results are in agreement with those from previous experiments
and improve considerably the statistical accuracy in the region 0.004 < x <
0.03.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, subm. to PLB, revised: author list, Fig. 4,

Search for the Phi(1860) Pentaquark at COMPASS
Narrow Xi-pi+- and Xi-bar+pi+- resonances produced by quasi-real photons have
been searched for by the COMPASS experiment at CERN. The study was stimulated
by the recent observation of an exotic baryonic state decaying into Xi-pi-, at
a mass of 1862 MeV, interpreted as a pentaquark. While the ordinary hyperon
states Xi(1530)^0 and Xi-bar(1530)^0 are clearly seen, no exotic baryon is
observed in the data taken in 2002 and 2003.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
Determination of Damping Properties of an Elongated Plate with an Integral Damping Coating on the Base of Studying Complex Eigenfrequencies
© 2020, Allerton Press, Inc. We describe the structure of a perspective integral damping coating consisting (with respect to the thickness) of two layers of a viscoelastic material with a thin reinforcing layer in-between. We propose a four-layer finite element model with fourteen degrees of freedom for a plate with a mentioned damping coating. This model allows us to take into account the effect of transversal compression of damping layers under high-frequency vibrations of the plate. For determining some lower complex modes and frequencies of free vibrations of the damped plate, we solve a generalized complex eigenvalue problem using the method of iterations in a subspace
COMPLEX EIGENFREQUENCIES AND DAMPING PROPERTIES OF AN ELONGATED PLATE WITH AN INTEGRAL DAMPING COATING
© 2020, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Abstract: This paper considers the classical methods of surface damping of bending vibrations of thin-walled structures and a promising integral version of a damping coating consisting of two layers of a material with pronounced viscoelastic properties separated by a thin reinforcing layer of a high modulus material. A finite element with 14 degrees of freedom for modeling an elongated plate with the specified damping coating has been developed with consideration of the transverse compression of damping layers under high-frequency vibrations of the plate. The generalized problem of complex eigenvalues in the lower part of the spectrum of complex modes and frequencies of free vibrations of a damped plate is solved by the subspace iteration method taking into account the frequency dependence of the dynamic elastic moduli of the material. The damping properties of the plate are determined from the imaginary parts of the complex eigenfrequencies and the relative energy dissipation at resonance
