Analytical considerations of flow boiling heat transfer in metal-foam filled tubes
Flow boiling in metal-foam filled tube was analytically investigated based on a modified microstructure model, an original boiling heat transfer model and fin analysis for metal foams. Microstructure model of metal foams was established, by which fiber diameter and surface area density were precisely predicted. The heat transfer model for flow boiling in metal foams was based on annular pattern, in which two phase fluid was composed by vapor region in the center of the tube and liquid region near the wall. However, it was assumed that nucleate boiling performed only in the liquid region. Fin analysis and heat transfer network for metal foams were integrated to obtain the convective heat transfer coefficient at interface. The analytical solution was verified by its good agreement with experimental data. The parametric study on heat transfer coefficient and boiling mechanism was also carried out.Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio
Possible tetraquark states in the invariant mass distribution
In this article, we assume that there exist hidden charmed tetraquark states
with the spin-parity , and calculate their masses with the QCD sum
rules. The numerical result indicates that the masses of the vector hidden
charmed tetraquark states are about or
, which are inconsistent with the experimental
data on the invariant mass distribution.
The hidden charmed mesons , or may be scalar hidden charmed
tetraquark states, hadro-charmonium resonances or molecular states.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure
Effect of the momentum dependence of nuclear symmetry potential on the transverse and elliptic flows
In the framework of the isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck
transport model, effect of the momentum dependence of nuclear symmetry
potential on nuclear transverse and elliptic flows in the neutron-rich reaction
Sn+Sn at a beam energy of 400 MeV/nucleon is studied. We find
that the momentum dependence of nuclear symmetry potential affects the rapidity
distribution of the free neutron to proton ratio, the neutron and the proton
transverse flows as a function of rapidity. The momentum dependence of nuclear
symmetry potential affects the neutron-proton differential transverse flow more
evidently than the difference of neutron and proton transverse flows as well as
the difference of proton and neutron elliptic flows. It is thus better to probe
the symmetry energy by using the difference of neutron and proton flows since
the momentum dependence of nuclear symmetry potential is still an open
question. And it is better to probe the momentum dependence of nuclear symmetry
potential by using the neutron-proton differential transverse flow and the
rapidity distribution of the free neutron to proton ratio.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, to be published by EPJ
Search for the Rare Decays J/Psi --> Ds- e+ nu_e, J/Psi --> D- e+ nu_e, and J/Psi --> D0bar e+ e-
We report on a search for the decays J/Psi --> Ds- e+ nu_e + c.c., J/Psi -->
D- e+ nu_e + c.c., and J/Psi --> D0bar e+ e- + c.c. in a sample of 5.8 * 10^7

above background is observed, and 90% confidence level upper limits on the
branching fractions are set: B(J/Psi --> Ds- e+ nu_e + c.c.)<4.8*10^-5, B(J/Psi

The ARGO-YBJ Experiment Progresses and Future Extension
Gamma ray source detection above 30TeV is an encouraging approach for finding
galactic cosmic ray origins. All sky survey for gamma ray sources using wide
field of view detector is essential for population accumulation for various
types of sources above 100GeV. To target the goals, the ARGO-YBJ experiment has
been established. Significant progresses have been made in the experiment. A
large air shower detector array in an area of 1km2 is proposed to boost the
sensitivity. Hybrid detection with multi-techniques will allow a good
discrimination between different types of primary particles, including photons
and protons, thus enable an energy spectrum measurement for individual specie.
Fluorescence light detector array will extend the spectrum measurement above
100PeV where the second knee is located. An energy scale determined by balloon
experiments at 10TeV will be propagated to ultra high energy cosmic ray
experiments
Partial wave analysis of J/\psi \to \gamma \phi \phi
Using events collected in the BESII detector, the
radiative decay is
studied. The invariant mass distribution exhibits a near-threshold
enhancement that peaks around 2.24 GeV/.
A partial wave analysis shows that the structure is dominated by a
state () with a mass of
GeV/ and a width of GeV/. The

Measurements of the observed cross sections for exclusive light hadron production in e^+e^- annihilation at \sqrt{s}= 3.773 and 3.650 GeV
By analyzing the data sets of 17.3 pb taken at GeV
and 6.5 pb taken at GeV with the BESII detector at the
BEPC collider, we have measured the observed cross sections for 12 exclusive
light hadron final states produced in annihilation at the two energy
points. We have also set the upper limits on the observed cross sections and
the branching fractions for decay to these final states at 90%
