Nuclear Radiation Detected Optical Pumping of neutron-deficient Hg isotopes
1976
The extension of the Nuclear Radiation Detected Optical Pumping method to mass-separated samples of isotopes far off stability is presented for a series of light Hg isotopes produced at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The isotope under investigation is transferred by an automatic transfer system into the optical pumping apparatus. Zeeman scanning of an isotopically pure Hg spectral lamp is used to reach energetic coincidence with the hyperfine structure components of the 6s 2 1 S 06s6p 3P1,λ=2,537 A resonance line of the investigated isotope and the Hg lamp. The orientation built up by optical pumping is monitored via the asymmetry or anisotropy of the nuclear radiation. Nuclear spins, magneti…
Out-of-plane emission of nuclear matter in Au+Au collisions between 100 and 800 AMeV
1997
We present new experimental results concerning the azimuthal distributions of proton-likes, light and intermediate mass fragments at midrapidity for Au(100-800 AMeV)+Au collisions measured with the FOPI phase-I detector at GSI in Darmstadt. The azimuthal distributions are investigated as a function of the collision centrality, the incident energy, the fragment charge and transverse momentum. The azimuthal anisotropy is maximum for impact parameters around 7 fm. Intermediate mass fragments present a stronger out-of-plane emission signal than light fragments and a saturation is reached for Z greater than or equal to 4. The azimuthal anisotropy increases with the fragment transverse momentum a…
Anisotropic elasto-optic effect in optical fibers under axial strain: a perturbative approach
2016
We present a perturbative approximation to calculate the relative shift of the WGM resonances in a conventional optical fibers when an axial strain is applied. We consider the anisotropic character of the elasto-optic effect.
Free energies, vacancy concentrations, and density distribution anisotropies in hard-sphere crystals: A combined density functional and simulation st…
2010
We perform a comparative study of the free energies and the density distributions in hard sphere crystals using Monte Carlo simulations and density functional theory (employing Fundamental Measure functionals). Using a recently introduced technique (Schilling and Schmid, J. Chem. Phys 131, 231102 (2009)) we obtain crystal free energies to a high precision. The free energies from Fundamental Measure theory are in good agreement with the simulation results and demonstrate the applicability of these functionals to the treatment of other problems involving crystallization. The agreement between FMT and simulations on the level of the free energies is also reflected in the density distributions …
Singlet-groundstate magnetism in TbP
1979
Elastic neutron scattering and magnetic susceptibility data are reported for temperatures around the Neel-point,TN=7.3 K, and for zero magnetic field. AboveTN, the temperature dependence of the magnetic central peak intensity can adequately be described within the RPA assuming isotropic exchange between nearest and next-nearest neighbours as the only parameters. This two-parameter model is quantitatively confirmed by the susceptibility data. AtTN, magnetic Bragg-intensities arise almost discontinuously (reaching 70% of the saturation within 0.1 K) accompanied by thermal hysteresis. For all temperatures belowTN the sublattice magnetic moment is explained by solutions of meanfield equations, …
Parallel implementation of the MAGPACK package for the analysis of high-nuclearity spin clusters
2010
Abstract Molecular clusters are formed by a finite number of exchange-coupled paramagnetic centers and they are model systems between molecules and extended solids. In order to simulate their properties and extrapolate to solids, the size of the systems to be treated should be as large as possible. In this context, the use of efficient parallel codes is essential. We present the parallel programs ParAni and ParIso , for anisotropic and isotropic models, that enable the calculation of large energy matrices in parallel and the subsequent computation of the relevant spectral information. The evaluation of the matrix elements is based on the serial package Magpack that uses the irreducible tens…
The Electric Field Gradient and the Quadrupole Interaction
1984
The Mossbauer effect has become a popular method in analytical chemistry. In contrast to other techniques such as x-ray spectroscopy, NMR, EPR, and MCD where highly sophisticated evaluation procedures are applied to obtain reliable information on the chemical compound, the Mossbauer effect is generally used on a low level concerning the evaluation of quadrupole split spectra. This procedure on a low level is favored by the structure of the spectra especially the simple doublet of the 3/2 → 1/2 nuclear transitions in paramagnetic and diamagnetic compounds. The separation of the two absorption lines, the quadrupole splitting ΔE Q and the center of the two lines, the isomer shift, are easily d…
Quadrupole Anisotropy in Dihadron Azimuthal Correlations in Centrald+AuCollisions atsNN=200 GeV
2013
The PHENIX collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reports measurements of azimuthal dihadron correlations near midrapidity in d + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. These measurements complement recent analyses by experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) involving central p + Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV, which have indicated strong anisotropic long-range correlations in angular distributions of hadron pairs. The origin of these anisotropies is currently unknown. Various competing explanations include parton saturation and hydrodynamic flow. We observe qualitatively similar, but larger, anisotropies in d + Au collisions at RHIC compared to those seen…
Observation of Direct-Photon Collective Flow inAu+AuCollisions atsNN=200 GeV
2012
The second Fourier component v(2) of the azimuthal anisotropy with respect to the reaction plane is measured for direct photons at midrapidity and transverse momentum (p(T)) of 1-12 GeV/c in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. Previous measurements of this quantity for hadrons with p(T) 6 GeV/c a reduced anisotropy is interpreted in terms of a path-length dependence for parton energy loss. In this measurement with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider we find that for p(T) > 4 GeV/c the anisotropy for direct photons is consistent with zero, which is as expected if the dominant source of direct photons is initial hard scattering. However, in the p(T) < 4 GeV/c re…
Triangular flow of thermal photons from an event-by-event hydrodynamic model for2.76ATeV Pb + Pb collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
2016
We calculate the triangular flow parameter $v_3$ of thermal photons from an event-by-event ideal hydrodynamic model for $0--40\%$ central collisions of Pb nuclei at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=2.76 TeV at LHC. $v_3$ determined with respect to the participant plane (PP) is found to be non-zero, positive and its $p_T$ dependence is qualitatively similar to the elliptic flow parameter $v_2$(PP) of thermal photons in the range $1 \le p_T \le 6$ GeV/$c$. In the range $p_T \, \le $ 3 GeV/$c$, $v_3$(PP) is found to be about $50--75\%$ of $v_2$(PP) and for $p_T \, >$ 3 GeV/$c$ the two anisotropy parameters become comparable. The local fluctuations in the initial density distribution as well as the initial glob…
