Collective and fractal properties of pion jets in the four-velocity space at intermediate energies
Experimental results are presented for study of collective and fractal
properties of soft pion jets in the space of relative four-dimensional
velocities. Significant decreasing is obtained for mean square of second
particle distances from jet axis for pion-proton interactions at initial
energies GeV in comparison with hadron-nuclear collisions at close
energies. The decreasing results in power dependence of distance variable on
collision energy for range GeV. The observation allows us to
estimate the low boundary of manifestation of color degree of freedom in pion
jet production. Cluster dimension values were deduced for pion jets in various
reactions. Fractional values of this dimension indicate on the manifestation of
fractal-like properties by pion jets. Changing of mean kinetic energy of jet
particles and fractal dimension with initial energy increasing is consistent
with suggestion for presence of color degrees of freedom in pion jet production
at intermediate energies.Comment: The conference "Physics of fundamental interactions". ITEP, Moscow,

On QCD -evolution of Deuteron Structure Function for
The deep-inelastic deuteron structure function (SF) in the
covariant approach in light-cone variables is considered. The and
-dependences of SF are calculated. The QCD analysis of generated data both
for non-cumulative ranges was performed. It was
shown that -evolution of SF is valid for ranges and
for the same value of QCD scale parameter . It was
found the -dependence of SF for the ranges is essentially different.Comment: LaTeX, 10 pages, 2 Postscript figure
Enabling comparison of UrQMD with Geant4 hadronic models
Geant4 has an abundant set of physics models that handle the diverse
interaction of particles with matter across a wide energy range. However, there
are also many well established reaction codes currently used in the same fields
where Geant4 is applied. One such code is the Ultra-relativistic Quantum
Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model. In order to take advantage of the UrQMD code,
we create a tool to enable comparisons among UrQMD and Geant4 hadronic models.
This tool allows a user to process the output file of UrQMD through Geant4
toolkit, while at the same time, can choose among different Geant4 hadronic
model generators. As an example, the UrQMD model is compared with the HARP-CDP
experimental data and with the Binary and FRITIOF generators, in the framework
of Geant4. It is shown that the UrQMD model can better reproduce charged pion
production for p+Cu and Pb interactions at 3, 8 and 15 GeV/c, and is a good
candidate for Geant4 hadronic models.Comment: 17 pages, 5 Figure
The system of human resource development in energy saving in the Ural region
A system of education in the field of energy saving has been developed, built and successfully used for a number of years in the Ural region. In the Ural Federal University (UrFU) the "Energy Saving" Department and Regional Learning and Teaching Centre were created in 1999. At the present time more than 2000 senior students of ten institutes and of a number of UrFU territorial branches listen to lectures and study energy saving and energy efficiency issues at the practical studies yearly at the "Energy Saving" Department. In teaching the above mentioned disciplines a problematic-topical approach is used. It promotes forming a high level of concern and motivation among students to study and master the bases of theoretical and practical activity, enabling them to get the most actual and reliable information. Employees of the department have prepared and published a considerable volume of courseware and scientific-andtechnological literature on the problems of energy saving and raising efficiency of energy usage, forming an academic system, which includes different levels and types of knowledge, methods of educating. Masters' preparing has been started together with the department "Atomic power stations and renewable energy sources" with the deepened studying energy saving and energy efficiency issues. Taking this experience into account, an education standard of UrFU "Energy saving and energy efficiency raising in industry and budget sphere". Thus, a complex approach for creating and constantly improving the system of energy saving specialists' preparation has been realized and is being developed in the territory of the Ural region. © 2014 WIT Press.International Journal of Safety and Security Engineering;International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning;WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environmen

Jet Energy Density in Hadron-Hadron Collisions at High Energies
The average particle multiplicity density dN/deta is the dynamical quantity
which reflects some regularities of particle production in low-pT range. The
quantity is an important ingredient of z-scaling. Experimental results on
charged particle density are available for pp, pA and AA collisions while
experimental properties of the jet density are still an open question. The goal
of this work is to find the variable which will reflect the main features of
the jet production in low transverse energy range and play the role of the
scale factor for the scaling function psi(z) and variable z in data
z-presentation. The appropriate candidate is the variable we called "scaled jet
energy density". Scaled jet energy density is the probability to have a jet
with defined ET in defined xT and pseudorapidity regions. The PYTHIA6.2 Monte
Carlo generator is used for calculation of scaled jet energy density in
proton-proton collisions over a high energy range (sqrt s = 200-14000 GeV) and
at eta = 0. The properties of the new variable are discussed and sensitivity to
"physical scenarios" applied in the standard Monte Carlo generator is noted.
The results of scaled jet energy density at LHC energies are presented and
compared with predictions based on z-scaling.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX, 8 figures, Presented at the XVII International

Energy Storage in a Hamiltonian System in Partial Contact with a Heat Bath
To understand the mechanism allowing for the long-term storage of excess
energy in proteins, we study a Hamiltonian system consisting of several coupled
pendula in partial contact with a heat bath. It is found that energy storage is
possible when the motion of each pendulum switches between oscillatory
(vibrational) and rotational (phase-slip) modes. The storage time increases
almost exponentially to the square root of the injected energy. The relevance
of our mechanism to protein motors is discussed.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, to appear in J.Phys.Soc.Jp
Subthreshold and near-threshold kaon and antikaon production in proton-nucleus reactions
The differential production cross sections of K^+ and K^- mesons have been
measured at the ITEP proton synchrotron in p+Be, p+Cu collisions under lab
angle of 10.5^0, respectively, at 1.7 and 2.25, 2.4 GeV beam energies. A
detailed comparison of these data with the results of calculations within an
appropriate folding model for incoherent primary proton-nucleon, secondary
pion-nucleon kaon and antikaon production processes and processes associated
with the creation of antikaons via the decay of intermediate phi mesons is
given. We show that the strangeness exchange process YN->NNK^- gives a small
contribution to the antikaon yield in the kinematics of the performed
experiment. We argue that in the case when antikaon production processes are
dominated by the channels with KK^- in the final state, the cross sections of
the corresponding reactions are weakly influenced by the in-medium kaon and
antikaon mean fields.Comment: 24 pages. accepted for publication at J.Phys.
