The high precision measurement of the 144Ce activity in the SOX experiment
2015
International audience; In order to perform a resolutive measurement to clarify the neutrino anomalies and to observe possible short distance neutrino oscillations, the SOX (Short distance neutrino Oscillations with BoreXino) experiment is under construction. In the first phase, a 100 kCi (144)Ce-(144)Pr antineutrino source will be placed under the Borexino detector at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), in center of Italy, and the rate measurement of the antineutrino events, observed by the very low radioactive background Borexino detector, will be compared with the high precision (< 1%) activity measurement performed by two calorimeters. The source will be embedded in a 19 mm …
Basics of doubly heavy tetraquarks
2018
We outline the most important results regarding the stability of doubly heavy tetraquarks $QQ\bar q\bar q$ with an adequate treatment of the four-body dynamics. We consider both color-mixing and spin-dependent effects. Our results are straightforwardly applied to the case of all-heavy tetraquarks $QQ\bar Q\bar Q$. We conclude that the stability is favored in the limit $M_Q/m_q \gg 1$ pointing to the stability of the $bb\bar u\bar d$ state and the instability of all-heavy tetraquarks.
The impact of the LHC nuclear program on nPDFs
2015
Volume: 612 The proton-lead and lead-lead runs at the LHC are providing an enormous amount of data sensitive to the nuclear modifications of the initial state. The measurements explore a region of phase space not probed by previous experiments opening a possibility to test and hopefully, also improve the current knowledge of nuclear parton densities. In this talk, we discuss to what extent the present quantitative results for the charge asymmetry in electroweak boson production show sensitivity to the nuclear parton distributions. Peer reviewed

Optical absorption and Raman spectroscopy of CuWO4
2010
Th e electronic absorption and Raman spectra of CuWO4 are studied as a function of pressure in the 0 - 20 GPa range. The below-gap absorption bands at 1.15, 1.38 and 1.56 eV correspond to Cu 2+ d-transitions split by the Jahn-Teller distortion of CuO6 (Req = 1.98 A; Rax = 2.39 A; Qθ = 0.47 A). Pressure induces a strong reduction of the JT distortion up to 10 GPa. Above this pressure we observe, by optical absorption and Raman spectroscopy, a first-order phase transition at 11 GPa with phase coexistence in the 10-12 GPa range, as it is confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The absorption spectra suggest that two different Cu 2+ sites are formed in the high pressure phase, each having rather diffe…
Kinetics of phase transitions in vitreous chalcogenide semiconductors AsxSe100m-x-yBiyas studied by the differential thermal analysis and exoelectron…
2011
Kinetics of glass transition (retrification) in chalcogenide semiconductors AsxSe100-x-yBy (x = 20 or 30, and y = 0 and 1) has been investigated by parallel differential thermal analysis (DTA) and exoelectron emission (EEE) measurements. EEE is a surface effect accompanying the structural transformations in the surface layer, whereas the DTA technique gives information about the transformations occurring in the volume of the sample. Temperature dependencies of the DTA signal and of the EEE intensity have been determined and the values of the activation energy for both the volume and the surface retrification have been determined by the Ozawa method for each of the four investigated material…
Raman scattering in nanosized nickel oxide NiO
2007
Magnetic ordering in nanosized (100 and 1500 nm) nickel oxide NiO powders, prepared by the plasma synthesis method, was studied using Raman scattering spectroscopy in a wide range of temperatures from 10 to 300 K. It was observed that the intensity of two- magnon band decreases rapidly for smaller crystallites size. This effect is attributed to a decrease of antiferromagnetic spin correlations and leads to the antiferromagnetic-to- paramagnetic phase transition .
Thermo-optical studies of NaNbO3thin films
2007
Thermo-optical studies of sodium niobate NaNbO3 (NN) thin films, deposited by the pulsed laser ablation technique on Si/SrRuO3 substrates, were performed by spectroscopic ellipsometry in the temperature range 300-550°C. Optical constants at the room temperature were measured in the spectral range 250-1000 nm. Substantial changes in the refractive index temperature behaviour (taken at λ = 300 nm) were found at temperatures 370, 445, 503, 520, and 532°C, where the first and the last temperatures are the phase transitions P → R and S → T1, respectively. Other temperatures (445, 503, and 520°C) are suggested as the points of some local structural changes in the NN film.
Up-conversion process in erbium doped lithium fluoride bulk crystal, lithium borate glass and glass ceramics
2007
In our research the up-conversion processes in Er doped bulk LiF crystal, lithium borate oxyfluoride glass and lithium borate oxyfluoride glass ceramics were studied: up- conversion and traditional photoluminescence spectra, the up-converted signal as a function of the laser power are presented. It was found that sharp luminescence bands in the visible part of the spectrum appear when the bulk crystal is subjected to IR irradiation at 980 nm by a laser diode. After the heat treatment of the glass submicron crystallites were detected by SEM technique. The presence of LiF crystalline phase in the oxyfluoride glass ceramics was proved by XRD method. The questions about the synthesis of the oxy…
Luminescence properties of AlN nanostructures revealed under UV light irradiation
2007
The luminescence properties of the AlN nanostructures – nanorods and nanotips -revealed under the UV irradiation are similar to those of the AlN ceramics. Presumably they are induced by the recombination processes in the oxygen-related centers. All the studied luminescence processes (photoluminescence, thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence) in the nanostructures occur mainly through the host lattice excitation. That may be explained by the smaller concentration of the defect centers and more perfect structure of the host lattice of the nanostructures compared to the ceramics. The small mutual differences revealed in the spectra and TL curves of the AlN nanotips and nanoro…
