Development of airborne hemispheric spectrometer
A new concept of hyperspectral instrument is presented. Novel design of hyperspectral skydome allows retrieval of atmospheric constituents and properties from a snapshot of spectral solar radiation over entire sky, regardless of platform motion either on ground or aircraft. Design and description of subsystems of the instrument are given followed by preliminary tolerance analysis, whose results are to be added in the retrieval algorithm along with hardware specifications. Extended application of the hyperspectral skydome is being carried out filling in the gap in the imaging spectrometry
Nonlinearly Realized Extended Supergravity
We provide nonlinear realization of supergravity with an arbitrary number of
supersymmetries by means of coset construction. The number of gravitino degrees
of freedom counts the number of supersymmetries, which will be possibly probed
in future experiments. We also consider goldstino embedding in the construction
to discuss the relation to nonlinear realization with rigid supersymmetries.Comment: 19 page
Relation between Kitaev magnetism and structure in -RuCl
Raman scattering has been employed to investigate lattice and magnetic
excitations of the honeycomb Kitaev material -RuCl and its
Heisenberg counterpart CrCl. Our phonon Raman spectra give evidence for a
first-order structural transition from a monoclinic to a rhombohedral structure
for both compounds. Significantly, only -RuCl features a large
thermal hysteresis, consistent with the formation of a wide phase of
coexistence. In the related temperature interval of K, we observe a
hysteretic behavior of magnetic excitations as well. The stronger magnetic
response in the rhombohedral compared to the monoclinic phase evidences a
coupling between the crystallographic structure and low-energy magnetic
response. Our results demonstrate that the Kitaev magnetism concomitant with
fractionalized excitations is susceptible to small variations of bonding
geometry.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures, To appear in PR
CP violation at one loop in the polarization-independent chargino production in e+e- collisions
Recently Osland and Vereshagin noticed, based on sample calculations of some
box diagrams, that in unpolarised e+e- collisions CP-odd effects in the
non-diagonal chargino-pair production process are generated at one-loop. Here
we perform a full one-loop analysis of these effects and point out that in some
cases the neglected vertex and self-energy contributions may play a dominant
role. We also show that CP asymmetries in chargino production are sensitive not
only to the phase of mu parameter in the chargino sector but also to the phase
of stop trilinear coupling A_t.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figure
