Simulation of the Neutral Particle Converter of the ARIES-L Device

AbstractThis paper presents the concept of Lunar regolith surface layer composition analysis using solar wind bombardment and registration of the sputtered and knocked out atoms converted into ions with solid-state converters and subsequent registration of ions by high-aperture electrostatic analyzer. Monte Carlo binary collision approximation code is used to calculate angular and energy distributions of scattered and sputtered atoms. Literature data are used for evaluation of charged fractions of scattered and sputtered components and SIMION code is used for calculation of charged particles trajectories in electrostatic deflector. The total sensitivity of the proposed scheme is evaluated

Measurement of tensor analyzing powers in deuteron photodisintegration

New accurate measurement of tensor analyzing powers T20, T21 and T22 in deuteron photodisintegration has been performed. Wide-aperture non-magnetic detectors allowed to cover broad kinematic ranges in a single setup: photon energy = 25 to 600 MeV, proton emission angle in CM = 24 to 48 deg. and 70 to 102 deg. New data provide a significant improvement of a few existing measurements. The angular dependency of the tensor asymmetries in deuteron photodisintegration is extracted for the first time.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
