  • Disoriented Chiral Condensate: Theory and Experiment
    DISORIENTED CHIRAL CONDENSATE: THEORY AND EXPERIMENT a b, B. Mohanty and J. Serreau ∗ aVariable Energy Cyclotron Center, 1/AF, Bidhan Nagar Kolkata - 700064, India bAstro-Particule et Cosmologie, 11, place Marcelin Berthelot, F-75231 Paris Cedex 05, France and Laboratoire de Physique Th´eorique, Bˆatiment 210, Universit´eParis-Sud 11, 91405 Orsay Cedex, France 1 Abstract It is thought that a region of pseudo-vacuum, where the chiral order parameter is misaligned from its vacuum orientation in isospin space, might occasionally form in high energy hadronic or nuclear collisions. The possible detection of such disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) would provide useful information about the chiral structure of the QCD vacuum and/or the chiral phase transition of strong interactions at high temperature. We review the theoretical developments concerning the possible DCC formation in high-energy collisions as well as the various experimental searches that have been performed so far. We discuss future prospects for upcoming DCC searches, e.g. in high-energy heavy-ion collision experiments at RHIC and LHC.

    Development of a Liquid Xenon Time Projection Chamber for the XENON Dark Matter Search Kaixuan Ni Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2006 c 2006 Kaixuan Ni All rights reserved Development of a Liquid Xenon Time Projection Chamber for the XENON Dark Matter Search Kaixuan Ni Advisor: Professor Elena Aprile Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2006 c 2006 Kaixuan Ni All rights reserved ABSTRACT Development of a Liquid Xenon Time Projection Chamber for the XENON Dark Matter Search Kaixuan Ni This thesis describes the research conducted for the XENON dark matter direct detection experiment. The tiny energy and small cross-section, from the interaction of dark matter particle on the target, requires a low threshold and sufficient background rejection capability of the detector. The XENON experiment uses dual phase technology to detect scintillation and ionization simultaneously from an event in liquid xenon (LXe). The distinct ratio, be- tween scintillation and ionization, for nuclear recoil and electron recoil events provides excellent background rejection potential. The XENON detector is designed to have 3D position sensitivity down to mm scale, which provides additional event information for background rejection. Started in 2002, the XENON project made steady progress in the R&D phase during the past few years. Those include developing sensitive photon detectors in LXe, improving the energy resolution and LXe purity for detect- ing very low energy events.

Reference Data 139 Outline －1－ / Outline of two projects Fundamental Principles Underlying the Hierarchy of Matter: A Comprehensive Experimental Study / • Outline of the Project This five-year project lead by Dr. R. Kato is the collaborative effort of eight laboratories, in which we treat the hierarchy of matter from hadrons to biomolecules with three underlying and interconnected key concepts: interaction, excitation, and heterogeneity. The project consists of experimental research conducted using cutting-edge technologies, including lasers, signal processing and data acquisition, and particle beams at RIKEN RI Beam Factory (RIBF) and RIKEN Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). • Physical and chemical views of matter lead to major discoveries Although this project is based on the physics and chemistry of non-living systems, we constantly keep all types of matter, including living matter, in our mind. The importance of analyzing matter from physical and chemical points of view was demonstrated in the case of DNA. The Watson-Crick model of DNA was developed based on the X-ray diffraction, which is a physical measurement. The key feature of this model is the hydrogen bonding that occurs between DNA base pairs. Watson and Crick learned about hydrogen bonding in the renowned book “The Nature of the Chemical Bond,” written by their competitor, L.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. In this talk I discuss aspects of hadron physics, which soon are expected to shed new light on the fundamental QCD phenomena. In the analysis of hadron reactions and their propertieds I emphasize similarities to the nuclear many body problem. 1. Introduction The vast majority of nuclear phenomena can be understood using protons and neutrons as elementary constituents and the nonrelativistic interactions among them. On the other hand, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), which is the underlying theory of nuclear forces, describes the relativistic quarks and gluons as the fundamental degrees of freedom.

  • Physique Nucléaire Et De L'instrumentation Associée Introduction
    FR0108546 # DEA-DAPNIA-RA-1997-98 A il. ..33/04 -DSM Département d'Astrophysique, de physique des Particules, de physique Nucléaire et de l'Instrumentation Associée Introduction Motivés par la curiosité pour les connaissances fondamentales et soutenus par des investissements impor- tants, les chercheurs du vingtième siècle ont fait des découvertes scientifiques considérables, sources de retombées économiques fructueuses. Une recherche ambitieuse doit se poursuivre. Organisé pour déve- lopper les grands programmes pour le nucléaire et par le nucléaire, le CEA est bien armé pour concevoir et mettre au point les instruments destinés à explorer, en coopération avec les autres organismes de recherche, les confins de l'infiniment petit et ceux de l'infinimenf grand. La recherche fondamentale évolue et par essence ne doit pas avoir de frontières. Le Département d'astrophysique, de physique des particules, de physique nucléaire et de l'instrumentation associée (Dapnia) a été créé pour abolir les cloisons entre la physique nucléaire, la physique des particules et l'as- trophysique, tout en resserrant les liens entre physiciens, ingénieurs et techniciens au sein de la Direction des sciences de la matière (DSM). Le Dapnia est unique par sa pluridisciplinarité. Ce regroupement a permis de lancer des expériences se situant aux frontières de ces disciplines tout en favorisant de nou- velles orientations et les choix vers les programmes les plus prometteurs. Tout en bénéficiant de l'expertise d'autres départements du CEA, la recherche au Dapnia se fait princi- palement au sein de collaborations nationales et internationales. Les équipes du Dapnia, de I'IN2P3 (Institut national de physique nucléaire et de physique des particules) et de l'Insu (Institut national des sciences de l'Univers) se retrouvent dans de nombreuses grandes collaborations internationales, chacun apportant ses compétences spécifiques afin de renforcer l'impact de nos contributions.

  • Using a Two-Phase Xenon Time Projection Chamber for Improved Background Rejection in Searches for Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay
    Using a two-phase xenon time projection chamber for improved background rejection in searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay by Callan Jessiman A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Physics Department of Physics Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario January 2020 c 2020 Callan⃝ Jessiman Abstract The nature of the neutrino masses is an important open question in particle physics; neutrinos were conceived and implemented into the Standard Model as massless, and their masses, now known to be nonzero, represent an area of new physics. Essential to the investigation of this area are mechanisms by which one might measure these masses, including the hypothetical neutrinoless double-beta decay, which has a lifetime related to the neutrino masses. Experiments searching for this rare decay, such as EXO, are impacted heavily by sources of background radiation. Here, a prototype two-phase time projection chamber is described, having superior temporal resolution to the existing EXO architecture. A machine- learning analysis of data from this prototype is used for pulse-shape discrimination, which has the potential to significantly increase EXO's sensitivity; the preliminary efforts described here are able to reduce backgrounds by 94%, while rejecting only 21% of the signal. ii Acknowledgements First, and foremost, I express my gratitude towards my supervisor, David Sinclair, and my colleague Braeden Veenstra. The entire project was of David's devising, as was the leadership that saw it through. Meanwhile, getting the thing to actually work, and extracting results from it, was Braeden's task as much as it was mine.

    SLAC-409 UC-414 (E/I) STRANGE MESON SPECTROSCOPY IN Km AND K$ AT 11 GeV/c AND CHERENKOV RING IMAGING AT SLD * Youngjoon Kwon Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Stanford University Stanford, CA 94309 January 1993 Prepared for the Department of Energy uncer contract number DE-AC03-76SF005 15 Printed in the United States of America. Available from the National Technical Information Service, U.S. Department of Commerce, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161. * Ph.D. thesis ii Abstract This thesis consists of two independent parts; development of Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector (GRID) system and analysis of high-statistics data of strange meson reactions from the LASS spectrometer. Part I: The CIUD system is devoted to charged particle identification in the SLAC Large Detector (SLD) to study e+e- collisions at ,/Z = mzo. By measuring the angles of emission of the Cherenkov photons inside liquid and gaseous radiators, r/K/p separation will be achieved up to N 30 GeV/c. The signals from CRID are read in three coordinates, one of which is measured by charge-division technique. To obtain a N 1% spatial resolution in the charge- division, low-noise CRID preamplifier prototypes were developed and tested re- sulting in < 1000 electrons noise for an average photoelectron signal with 2 x lo5 gain. To help ensure the long-term stability of CRID operation at high efficiency, a comprehensive monitoring and control system was developed. This system contin- uously monitors and/or controls various operating quantities such as temperatures, pressures, and flows, mixing and purity of the various fluids.

The spherical torus (ST) confinement concept is projected to operate at high toroidal beta and at a high fraction of the non-inductive bootstrap current as required for an efficient reactor system. The use of a conventional solenoid in a ST-based fusion nuclear facility is generally believed to not be a possibility. Solenoid-free plasma start-up is therefore an area of extensive worldwide research activity.

  • Výroční Zpráva FZÚ Za Rok 2012
    Výroční zpráva o činnosti a hospodaření za rok 2012 FZÚ AV ČR, V. V. I. VÝROČNÍ ZPRÁVA 2012 ýzkum ve Fyzikálním ústavu AV ČR, v. v. i., se i v roce 2012 soustředil na dlouhodobě Vúspěšná témata s tím, že akcenty se měnily podle aktuálních výsledků a trendů. Tak například desetiletí trvající příprava experimentů na světovém urychlovači LHC v evropském středisku fyziky elementárních částic CERN dospěla úspěšně ke svému cíli a tyto experimenty nyní přinášejí řadu nových zajímavých výsledků. Velkou publicitu získal objev nové částice, která je patrně dlouho hledaným Higgsovým bosonem. Díky novým údajům o interakcích částic na LHC dochází ke zpřesňování výsledků také v oblasti astročásticové fyziky. V oblasti spintroniky se výzkum posouvá od zkoumání samotného spinově závislého Hallova jevu k demonstraci funkčnosti prvních modelových spintronických součástek. V případě funkčních materiálů vývoj vede k vytváření materiálů „šitých na míru“ podle nejrůznějších potřeb. Dochází k zajímavým objevům i na poli základního výzkumu – tady lze jmenovat pozorování ferromagnetického chování rozhraní dvou nemagnetických látek s nerovnováhou náboje. V oblasti fyziky pevných látek se zřetelně vyděluje trend, který se věnuje interdisciplinárním problémům a přesahu fyziky do oblastí biologie a medicíny. Úspěch ve všech těchto směrech je podmíněn přístupem k moderním metodám analýzy a charakterizace vzorků a jejich efektivním využitím. Rok 2012 byl také rokem volebním – uběhlo pět let od přechodu ústavu na právní formu veřejné výzkumné instituce a skončilo tak funkční období první rady ústavu i ředitele. V nově zvolené radě ústavu zasedlo šest nově zvolených interních členů z celkem devíti. Naopak z pěti externích členů je nový pouze jeden. V následné volbě ředitele mně kolegové dali svoji důvěru a doporučili mě předsedovi AV ČR do této funkce i na druhé funkční období.
