Sciences Research Institute The Open University ABSTRACT. Impact diamonds were found in several inipactites from the Ries crater. Geriiiaiiy including fallout and fallback (crater fill) suevites. a glass bomb, impact melt i-ock and shocked gneiss. These diamonds formed two distinct grain size populations: 50-300 pii apographitic. platy aggregates with surface ornamentation and etching that \vere observed using optical and scanning electron microscopy and 5-20 pm diaiiionds which displayed two different inorphologies identified using traiisinission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction. These 5-20 pm grains comprised apographitic. platy gi-nins with stacking faults, etching and graphite intergrowths together with elongate skeletal grains with prefemd orientations to the individual crystallites. Thermal annealing of stacking fa~ilisand surface features was also detected. Stepped combustion coiiibined with static mass spectrometry to give carbon isotopic analysis of iiidividunl diamonds. graphite and acid-residues indicate that the priinai-y carbon source is graphite. This graphite was found to be %depleted with i-cspcct to similar samples firom the Popigai impact crater.

    Confinement of Fermions in Tachyon Matter at Finite Temperature Adamu Issifu,1, ∗ Julio C.M. Rocha,1, y and Francisco A. Brito1, 2, z 1Departamento de F´ısica, Universidade Federal da Para´ıba, Caixa Postal 5008, 58051-970 Jo~aoPessoa, Para´ıba, Brazil 2Departamento de F´ısica, Universidade Federal de Campina Grande Caixa Postal 10071, 58429-900 Campina Grande, Para´ıba, Brazil We study a phenomenological model that mimics the characteristics of QCD theory at finite temperature. The model involves fermions coupled with a modified Abelian gauge field in a tachyon matter. It reproduces some important QCD features such as, confinement, deconfinement, chiral symmetry and quark-gluon-plasma (QGP) phase transitions. The study may shed light on both light and heavy quark potentials and their string tensions. Flux-tube and Cornell potentials are developed depending on the regime under consideration. Other confining properties such as scalar glueball mass, gluon mass, glueball-meson mixing states, gluon and chiral condensates are exploited as well. The study is focused on two possible regimes, the ultraviolet (UV) and the infrared (IR) regimes. I. INTRODUCTION Confinement of heavy quark states QQ¯ is an important subject in both theoretical and experimental study of high temperature QCD matter and quark-gluon-plasma phase (QGP) [1]. The production of heavy quarkonia such as the fundamental state ofcc ¯ in the Relativistic Heavy Iron Collider (RHIC) [2] and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) [3] provides basics for the study of QGP. Lattice QCD simulations of quarkonium at finite temperature indicates that J= may persists even at T = 1:5Tc [4] i.e.

MICP is a laboratory method. Under SUMMARY favourable conditions, NMR is also applicable in field surveys. Permeability estimation from spectral induced Induced Polarization (IP) has been proposed to be another polarization (SIP) measurements is based on a potential method providing access to the pore size fundamental premise that the characteristic relaxation distribution. Several authors observed relations between the τ time ( ) is related to the effective hydraulic radius ( reff ) pore size and different types of relaxation times (e.g. Scott and controlling fluid flow. The approach requires a reliable Barker, 2003; Binley et al., 2005; Kruschwitz et al. 2010). It is estimate of the diffusion coefficient of the ions in the difficult to explain all these observations by a uniform electrical double layer. Others have assumed a value for physical model. Instead of a pore size distribution, a so-called the diffusion coefficient, or postulated different values for characteristic pore size is assumed.

We calculate average radial Accepted 21 March 2017 profiles of free-air anomalies and Bouguer anomalies for peak-ring basins, protobasins, and the largest Available online 22 March 2017 complex craters. Complex craters and protobasins have free-air anomalies that are positively correlated with surface topography, unlike the prominent lunar mascons (positive free-air anomalies in areas of low elevation) associated with large basins.
