First data with the ATLAS Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger
2008
The ATLAS Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger is one of the main elements of the first stage of event selection for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The input stage consists of a mixed analogue/digital component taking trigger sums from the ATLAS calorimeters. The trigger logic is performed in a digital, pipelined system with several stages of processing, largely based on FPGAs, which perform programmable algorithms in parallel with a fixed latency to process about 300 Gbyte/s of input data. The real-time output consists of counts of different types of physics objects, and energy sums. The final system consists of over 300 custom-built VME modules, of several different types. The installation at AT…
Relaxation, postponement, and features of the attractor in a driven varactor oscillator
1990
The driven varactor oscillator is investigated by numerical integration of its ODEs using the standard model of circuit theory. Attention is given to some properties of the basic relaxation mechanism. For time dependent amplitudes of the sinusoidal driving voltage the post-ponement of the bifurcations is characterized by transient Lyapunov numbers. The postponement of the first bifurcation shows the same dependence on the sweep velocity as in the case of the nonautonomous quadratic map. The shapes of the attractors are displayed in extended phase space. Generalized Renyi-dimensionsD 0 andD 1 have been determined in the chaotic region. A corresponding twodimensional Pioncare map indicates se…
Electro- and photodisintegration of deuterium
1978
Deuteron break-up by inelastic electron scattering or photoabsorption is discussed with emphasis on effects from meson exchange currents and isobar configurationgurations.
Many-particle dynamics and intershell effects in Wigner molecules
2011
We apply classical molecular dynamics within the velocity Verlet algorithm to examine the formation dynamics of Wigner crystals in two-dimensional harmonic oscillators. Using a large ensemble of initial conditions as well as different freezing mechanisms, we obtain reliable information on the energies and probabilities of stable and metastable configurations, their formation dynamics, and their stability. Wigner-crystal configurations of up to 30 particles are presented and the dynamics of transition processes, e.g., intershell effects, are analyzed.
Minimal mass size of a stable He-3 cluster
2005
The minimal number of 3He atoms required to form a bound cluster has been estimated by means of a Diffusion Monte Carlo procedure within the fixed-node approximation. Several importance sampling wave functions have been employed in order to consider different shell-model configurations. The resulting upper bound for the minimal number is 32 atoms.
THE R-PROCESS: SUPERNOVAE AND OTHER SOURCES OF THE HEAVIEST ELEMENTS
2007
Rapid neutron capture in stellar explosions is responsible for the heaviest elements in nature, up to Th , U and beyond. This nucleosynthesis process, the r-process, is unique in the sense that a combination of nuclear physics far from stability (masses, half-lives, neutron-capture and photodisintegration, neutron-induced and beta-delayed fission and last but not least neutrino-nucleus interactions) is intimately linked to ejecta from astrophysical explosions (core collapse supernovae or other neutron star related events). The astrophysics and nuclear physics involved still harbor many uncertainties, either in the extrapolation of nuclear properties far beyond present experimental explorat…
Meson retardation in deuteron electrodisintegration
2004
The effect of meson retardation in $NN$-interaction and exchange currents on deuteron electrodisintegration is studied in a coupled channel approach including $NN$-, $N \Delta$- and $\pi d$-channels. It is shown that the influence of retardation depends on the energy regime: Whereas below $\pi$-threshold calculations with static and retarded operators yield almost identical results, they differ significantly in the $\Delta$-region. Especially, the longitudinal and the longitudinal-transverse interference structure functions are strongly affected.
Ab initio calculation of Li7 photodisintegration
2004
The Li7 total photoabsorption cross section is calculated microscopically. As nucleon-nucleon interaction the semi-realistic central AV4' potential with S- and P-wave forces is taken. The interaction of the final 7-nucleon system is fully taken into account via the Lorentz Integral Transform (LIT) method. For the calculation of the LIT we use expansions in hyperspherical harmonics (HH) in conjunction with the HH effective interaction (EIHH) approach. The convergence of the LIT expansion is discussed in detail. The calculated cross section agrees quite well with the available experimental data, which cover an energy range from threshold up to 100 MeV.
The sunset diagram in SU(3) chiral perturbation theory
1996
A general procedure for the calculation of a class of two-loop Feynman diagrams is described. These are two-point functions containing three massive propagators, raised to integer powers, in the denominator, and arbitrary polynomials of the loop momenta in the numerator. The ultraviolet divergent parts are calculated analytically, while the remaining finite parts are obtained by a one-dimensional numerical integration, both below and above the threshold. Integrals of this type occur, for example, in chiral perturbation theory at order p^6.
Photodisintegration of the deuteron in the Δ-resonance region
1993
Abstract Photodisintegration of the deuteron in the Δ-resonance region is calculated treating the final state interaction within a N N−NΔ coupled channel approach including explicit pion degrees of freedom. For the electromagnetic interaction the nucleonic one-body current, meson exchange currents and the direct Δ-excitation are taken into account. The γN Δ-coupling is fixed in accordance with the M 1+ ( 3 2 ) multipole amplitude for pion photoproduction on the nucleon. The resulting total cross section underestimates the experimental data for photon energies below 340 MeV, whereas a good agreement is achieved by uaing a modified γN Δ-coupling effectively including the nonresonant Born term…
