    Simulation results for future measurements of electromagnetic proton form factors at \PANDA (FAIR) within the PandaRoot software framework are reported. The statistical precision with which the proton form factors can be determined is estimated. The signal channel pˉpe+e\bar p p \to e^+ e^- is studied on the basis of two different but consistent procedures. The suppression of the main background channel, i.e.\textit{i.e.} pˉpπ+π\bar p p \to \pi^+ \pi^-, is studied. Furthermore, the background versus signal efficiency, statistical and systematical uncertainties on the extracted proton form factors are evaluated using two different procedures. The results are consistent with those of a previous simulation study using an older, simplified framework. However, a slightly better precision is achieved in the PandaRoot study in a large range of momentum transfer, assuming the nominal beam conditions and detector performance

    Study of doubly strange systems using stored antiprotons

    Bound nuclear systems with two units of strangeness are still poorly known despite their importance for many strong interaction phenomena. Stored antiprotons beams in the GeV range represent an unparalleled factory for various hyperon-antihyperon pairs. Their outstanding large production probability in antiproton collisions will open the floodgates for a series of new studies of systems which contain two or even more units of strangeness at the P‾ANDA experiment at FAIR. For the first time, high resolution γ-spectroscopy of doubly strange ΛΛ-hypernuclei will be performed, thus complementing measurements of ground state decays of ΛΛ-hypernuclei at J-PARC or possible decays of particle unstable hypernuclei in heavy ion reactions. High resolution spectroscopy of multistrange Ξ−-atoms will be feasible and even the production of Ω−-atoms will be within reach. The latter might open the door to the |S|=3 world in strangeness nuclear physics, by the study of the hadronic Ω−-nucleus interaction. For the first time it will be possible to study the behavior of Ξ‾+ in nuclear systems under well controlled conditions

    PANDA Phase One - PANDA collaboration

    The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany, provides unique possibilities for a new generation of hadron-, nuclear- and atomic physics experiments. The future antiProton ANnihilations at DArmstadt (PANDA or P¯ANDA) experiment at FAIR will offer a broad physics programme, covering different aspects of the strong interaction. Understanding the latter in the non-perturbative regime remains one of the greatest challenges in contemporary physics. The antiproton–nucleon interaction studied with PANDA provides crucial tests in this area. Furthermore, the high-intensity, low-energy domain of PANDA allows for searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, e.g. through high precision symmetry tests. This paper takes into account a staged approach for the detector setup and for the delivered luminosity from the accelerator. The available detector setup at the time of the delivery of the first antiproton beams in the HESR storage ring is referred to as the Phase One setup. The physics programme that is achievable during Phase One is outlined in this paper

    Bioelectrorheological model of the cell. 3. Viscoelastic shear deformation of the membrane.

    Get PDF
    An analytical electromechanical model of a spherical cell exposed to an alternating electric field was used to calculate shear stress generated in the cellular membrane. Shape deformation of Neurospora crassa (slime) spheroplasts was measured. Statistical analysis permitted empirical evaluation of creep of the cellular membrane within the range of infinitesimal stress. Final results were discussed in terms of various rheological models

    Kaszel jest jednym z najbardziej uciążliwych i jednocześnie najbardziej powszechnych objawów w przebiegu przewlekłych chorób układu oddechowego. Dotychczasowe tradycyjne metody badań częstości i natężenia kaszlu polegają na obserwacji chorego, rejestracji audio-wideo, a następnie na zliczaniu występujących incydentów. Międzynarodowe organizacje zajmujące się chorobami układu oddechowego (European Respiratory Society, American College of Chest Physicians) zalecają stosowanie skomputeryzowanych i zautomatyzowanych metod pomiarowych, pozwalających na ambulatoryjną, obiektywną ocenę kaszlu u chorych. Zjawisko kaszlu wywołuje drgania klatki piersiowej chorego z jednoczesną emisją charakterystycznych zaburzeń akustycznych. Rejestracja i analiza powyższych sygnałów wibroakustycznych umożliwia zarówno monitorowanie częstości kaszlu, jak i ocenę jego natężenia zatem metoda ta będzie przydatna do oceny skuteczności procesu leczenia chorych. W artykule przedstawiono metodę badań oraz wyniki pilotażowych pomiarów, przeprowadzonych przy współpracy Centrum Techniki Morskiej (CTM) z Akademią Medyczną w Gdańsku oraz Collegium Medicum Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika w Bydgoszczy. Rejestrowano sygnały wibroakustyczne generowane podczas kaszlu u pacjentów z chorobą obturacyjną układu oddechowego i rakiem płuc. Do badań zastosowano system analizatora typu PULSE produkcji Bruel & Kjaer. Wykonano jednoczesną rejestrację sygnałów akustycznych i drgań, a następnie sygnały te poddano analizie.Cough is one of the most bothersome and frequent symptoms of chronic pulmonary diseases. Traditional examination methods rely on patient observation, audio-video registration and incidents counting. European Respiratory Society and American College of Chest Physicians recommend using computer based and automated measuring methods, which allow objective evaluation of patients cough. Cough phenomenon produces chest vibrations with simultaneous characteristic acoustic disturbances. Registration and analysis of those vibroacoustic signals enable cough frequency and intensity monitoring, which means that this method will be useful for evaluation of the therapy effectiveness. This paper presents the method and pilot study results that were obtained by R&D Marine Technology Centre in cooperation with the Medical University of Gdańsk and Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz. Cough vibroacoustic signals of patients with chronic pulmonary diseases and lun| cancer were recorded. Bruel & Kjaer Pulse analyzer has beer used during the examination. Registration and analysis of the acoustic and vibration has been performed
