The 85$Rb(p,n)85Sr reaction and the modified proton optical potential
The cross sections of the astrophysically relevant 85$Rb(p,n)85Srg,m reaction
have been measured between Ec.m. = 2.16 and 3.96 MeV. The cross sections have
been derived by measuring the gamma radiation following the beta decay of the
reaction products. A comparison with the predictions of Hauser-Feshbach
calculations using the NON-SMOKER code confirms a recently derived modification
of the global optical proton potential.Comment: CGS XIII conferenc
Grain Dynamics in a Two-dimensional Granular Flow
We have used particle tracking methods to study the dynamics of individual
balls comprising a granular flow in a small-angle two-dimensional funnel. We
statistically analyze many ball trajectories to examine the mechanisms of shock
propagation. In particular, we study the creation of, and interactions between,
shock waves. We also investigate the role of granular temperature and draw
parallels to traffic flow dynamics.Comment: 17 pages, 24 figures. To appear in Phys.Rev.E. High res./color

Clustering, Order, and Collapse in a Driven Granular Monolayer
Steady state dynamics of clustering, long range order, and inelastic collapse
are experimentally observed in vertically shaken granular monolayers. At large
vibration amplitudes, particle correlations show only short range order like
equilibrium 2D hard sphere gases. Lowering the amplitude "cools" the system,
resulting in a dramatic increase in correlations leading either to clustering
or an ordered state. Further cooling forms a collapse: a condensate of
motionless balls co-existing with a less dense gas. Measured velocity
distributions are non-Gaussian, showing nearly exponential tails.Comment: 9 pages of text in Revtex, 5 figures; references added, minor
