The Next White (NEW) detector
2018
[EN] Conceived to host 5 kg of xenón at a pressure of 15 bar in the ¿ducial volume,the NEXTWhite (NEW)apparatus is currently the largest high pressure xenon gas TPC using electroluminescent ampli¿cation in the world. It is also a 1:2 scale model of the NEXT-100 detector scheduled to start searching for ßß0¿ decays in 136Xe in 2019. Both detectors measure the energy of the event using a plane of photomultipliers located behind a transparent cathode. They can also reconstruct the trajectories of charged tracks in the dense gas of the TPC with the help of a plane of silicon photomultipliers located behind the anode. A sophisticated gas system, common to both detectors, allows the high gas puri…
Optomechanical oscillations in microbubble resonators: Enhancement, suppression and chaotic behaviour
2019
We report on the experimental and theoretical analysis of parametrical optomechanical oscillations in hollow spherical PhoXonic whispering gallery mode resonators due to radiation pressure. The optically excited acoustic eigenmodes of the PhoXonic cavity oscillate regeneratively leading to parametric oscillation instabilities.
Elektrische Registrierung der Druckanstiegsbeschleunigung und ihre Beziehung zur isometrischen Kontraktion des linken Herzventrikels
1967
Aus der zweimaligen Differentiation der Ventrikeldruckkurve nach der Zeit ergibt sich die Druckanstiegsbeschleunigung. Dieser Parameter wurde mittels RC-Glieder bei der Kontraktion des linken Ventrikels der Katze registriert. Sein Maximum lag in der Phase der isometrischen Kontraktion. Die maximale Druckanstiegsbeschleunigung nahm bei Erhohung der isometrischen Kontraktion starker zu als die maximale Druckanstiegsgeschwindigkeit. Es wird gefolgert, das zwischen der Kraft der isometrischen Kontraktion und der maximalen Druckanstiegsbeschleunigung eine Proportionalitat besteht.
3D numerical modeling of YSO accretion shocks
2013
International audience; The dynamics of YSO accretion shocks is determined by radiative processes as well as the strength and structure of the magnetic field. A quasi-periodic emission signature is theoretically expected to be observed, but observations do not confirm any such pattern. In this work, we assume a uniform background field, in the regime of optically thin energy losses, and we study the multi-dimensional shock evolution in the presence of perturbations, i.e. clumps in the stream and an acoustic energy flux flowing at the base of the chromosphere. We perform 3D MHD simulations using the PLUTO code, modeling locally the impact of the infalling gas onto the chromosphere. We find t…
X-ray emission from dense plasma in classical T Tauri stars: hydrodynamic modeling of the accretion shock
2008
Context: High spectral resolution X-ray observations of classical T Tauri stars (CTTSs) demonstrate the presence of plasma at temperature T~2-3×10^6 K and density n_e~10^11-10^13 cm^-3, which are unobserved in non-accreting stars. Stationary models suggest that this emission is due to shock-heated accreting material, but do not allow us to analyze the stability of the material and its position in the stellar atmosphere. Aims: We investigate the dynamics and stability of shock-heated accreting material in classical T Tauri stars and the role of the stellar chromosphere in determining the position and thickness of the shocked region. Methods: We perform one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulation…
Self-gravitating magnetized tori around black holes in general relativity
2019
We investigate stationary, self-gravitating, magnetised disks (or tori) around black holes. The models are obtained by numerically solving the coupled system of the Einstein equations and the equations of ideal general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. The mathematical formulation and numerical aspects of our approach are similar to those reported in previous works modeling stationary self-gravitating perfect-fluid tori, but the inclusion of magnetic fields represents a new ingredient. Following previous studies of purely hydrodynamical configurations, we construct our models assuming Keplerian rotation in the disks and both spinning and spinless black holes. We focus on the case of a toro…
Momentum transfer across shear flows in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation
2003
We investigate the evolution of angular momentum in SPH simulations of galaxy formation, paying particular attention to artificial numerical effects. We find that a cold gas disc forming in an ambient hot gas halo receives a strong hydrodynamic torque from the hot gas. By splitting the hydrodynamic force into artificial viscosity and pressure gradients, we find that the angular momentum transport is caused not by the artificial viscosity but by the pressure gradients. Using simple test simulations of shear flows, we conclude that the pressure gradient-based viscosity can be divided into two components: one due to the noisiness of SPH and the other to ram pressure. The former is problematic …
Ab initiosimulations of accretion disc instability
2003
We show that accretion disks, both in the subcritical and supercritical accretion rate regime, may exhibit significant amplitude luminosity oscillations. The luminosity time behavior has been obtained by performing a set of time-dependent 2D SPH simulations of accretion disks with different values of alpha and accretion rate. In this study, to avoid any influence of the initial disk configuration, we produced the disks injecting matter from an outer edge far from the central object. The period of oscillations is 2 - 50 s respectively for the two cases, and the variation amplitude of the disc luminosity is 10^38 - 10^39 erg/s. An explanation of this luminosity behavior is proposed in terms o…
Numerical Simulations of the Thermal Instability Collapse in Radiation Pressure Dominated Disks
2005
We show that accretion disks, both in the subcritical and supercritical accretion rate regime, may exhibit significant amplitude luminosity oscillations. The luminosity time behavior has been obtained by performing a set of time‐dependent 2D SPH simulations of accretion disks with different values of α and accretion rate. An explanation of this luminosity behavior is proposed in terms of limit‐cycle instability: the disk oscillates between a radiation pressure dominated configuration (with a high luminosity value) and a gas pressure dominated one (with a low luminosity value). The origin of this instability is the difference between the heat produced by viscosity and the energy emitted as r…
A new approach to determination of the asymmetry parameter of Stark-broadened isolated spectral lines
2013
A new approach to evaluation of asymmetry parameters of Stark-broadened isolated spectral lines is presented. The procedure is discussed on the example of the N I line at λ = 9822.75 A. Line shape measurements were performed using a wall-stabilized arc, operated at atmospheric pressure. The radiation of the plasma, emitted from homogeneous plasma layers in end-on direction, was measured using a grating spectrometer equipped with a two-dimensional CCD detector. Griem-like profiles, convoluted with the corresponding Doppler and apparatus profiles, were fitted to experimental data. In this way the Stark broadening parameters (electron impact widths, shifts and asymmetry) have been determined. …
