Review of proton and nuclear shape fluctuations at high energy
2020
Determining the inner structure of protons and nuclei in terms of their fundamental constituents has been one of the main tasks of high energy nuclear and particle physics experiments. This quest started as a mapping of the (average) parton densities as a function of longitudinal momentum fraction and resolution scale. Recently, the field has progressed to more differential imaging, where one important development is the description of the event-by-event quantum fluctuations in the wave function of the colliding hadron. In this Review, recent developments on the extraction of proton and nuclear transverse geometry with event-by-event fluctuations from collider experiments at high energy is …
Proton shape fluctuation and its relation to DIS
2018
We review the recent progress in extracting the proton fluctuating substructure by studying exclusive processes at HERA, and the applications of these developments in the interpretation of the LHC heavy ion data. The possibilities to extract the proton geometry directly from the LHC high-multiplicity proton-nucleus and proton-proton collision data is also discussed. peerReviewed
Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) : Far detector technical design report. Volume I. Introduction to DUNE
2020
DUNE computing model, for which DUNE is planning design reports. Volume II of this TDR describes DUNE's physics program in detail. Volume III describes the technical coordination required for the far detector design, construction, installation, and integration, and its organizational structure. Volume IV describes the single-phase far detector technology. A planned Volume V will describe the dual-phase technology. peerReviewed
Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) : Far detector technical design report. Volume IV. The DUNE far detector single-phase technology
2020
The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and whether protons eventually decay—these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its current state, and its eventual fate. DUNE is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. Central to achieving DUNE's p…

Energeettisten protonien jarruuntuminen nestemäisessä vedessä
2011
Tämän työn tarkoituksena oli mitata protonien jarruuntumiskyky nestemäisessä vedessä energia-alueella 4 - 20 MeV. Työssä käytettiin micro channel plate -pohjaisia lentoaikailmaisimia. Lopputulosten suhteelliset virheet vaihtelivat välillä 2,0 - 16,5 % mediaanin ollessa 4,2 % ja keskiarvon 5,3 %. Saadut tulokset olivat hyvässä sopusoinnussa ICRU:n raportin numero 49 antamien simuloitujen arvojen kanssa. Energialtaan 4 - 16 MeV protonien mitatut jarruuntumiskyvyt poikkesivat noin yhden prosentin tai vähemmän simuloiduista arvoista. Energia-alueella 16 - 20 MeV protonien mitatut jarruuntumiskyvyt olivat noin 4 - 8 % suuremmat kuin ICRU:n antamat simuloidut arvot. Mitattuja arvoja verrattiin my…
Exploring fast proton transfer events associated with lateral proton diffusion on the surface of membranes
2019
Proton diffusion (PD) across biological membranes is a fundamental process in many biological systems, and much experimental and theoretical effort has been employed for deciphering it. Here, we report on a spectroscopic probe, which can be tightly tethered to the membrane, for following fast (nanosecond) proton transfer events on the surface of membranes. Our probe is composed of a photoacid that serves as our light-induced proton source for the initiation of the PD process. We use our probe to follow PD, and its pH dependence, on the surface of lipid vesicles composed of a zwitterionic headgroup, a negative headgroup, a headgroup that is composed only from the negative phosphate group, or…
Eikonal minijet model for proton-proton collisions
2017
Tässä tutkielmassa johdettiin minijettimalli suurienergiaisille protoni-protoni -törmäyksille eikonaaliformalismissa. Mallia testattiin numeerisen laskennan keinoin kokeellisilla tuloksilla protoni-protoni -törmäyksien elastisista, epäelastisista ja kokonaisvaikutusaloista keskeisliikemääräkoordinaatiston energiaskaalassa sqrt(s)=0.1..100 TeV. Myös viimeisimpiä CERN-LHC -kiihdyttimen mittaustuloksia tarkasteltiin. Numeerisen analyysin yhtenä osana tutkittiin myös yhden efektiivisen aliprosessin approksimaatiota, joka osoittautui tutkituilla energioilla hyvin tarkaksi. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin moninkertaisen kaksijettituoton roolia protoni-protoni -törmäysten epäelastisessa vaikutusalassa. An e…
One-dimensional pion, kaon, and proton femtoscopy in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV
2015
The size of the particle emission region in high-energy collisions can be deduced using the femtoscopic correlations of particle pairs at low relative momentum. Such correlations arise due to quantum statistics and Coulomb and strong final state interactions. In this paper, results are presented from femtoscopic analyses of π±π±, K±K±, K0 SK0 S, pp, and pp correlations from Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV by the ALICE experiment at the LHC. One-dimensional radii of the system are extracted from correlation functions in terms of the invariant momentum difference of the pair. The comparison of the measured radii with the predictions from a hydrokinetic model is discussed. The pion and kao…
Proton radioactivity of 117La
2001
A new more precise measurement of the ground-state proton decay of 117La is presented @Ep 5806(5) keV, t1/2,p526(3) ms#. 117La was produced via the p4n fusion-evaporation channel by bombarding a 64Zn target with 310 and 295 MeV 58Ni beams. The proton decay rate is consistent with emission from a prolate deformed 3/21 or 3/22 Nilsson state. No evidence is found for a previously reported proton decay from a high spin isomer in 117La. An upper limit for the production cross section for proton decay of 116La at a bombarding energy of 325 MeV was established. peerReviewed
