Spectra and correlations of Λ andΛ¯produced in 340-GeV/cΣ−+Cand 260-GeV/cn+Cinteractions
2002
We have measured the production of strange baryons and antibaryons in 340-GeV/c Sigma /sup -/+C and 260-GeV/c n+C interactions. The single x/sub F/ distributions show the expected leading particle effect, and the single p/sub t//sup 2/ distributions show a distinct nonthermal behavior. The x/sub F/ distributions of Lambda - Lambda pairs indicate two different phase space distributions for the two coincident baryons. On the other hand two Lambda 's show identical distributions. Momentum conservation during the formation process may represent a significant source for the observed behavior.
Coronal fuzziness modelled with pulse-heated multistranded loop systems
2010
Coronal active regions are observed to get fuzzier and fuzzier (i.e. more and more confused and uniform) in harder and harder energy bands or lines. We explain this evidence as due to the fine multi-temperature structure of coronal loops. To this end, we model bundles of loops made of thin strands, each heated by short and intense heat pulses. For simplicity, we assume that the heat pulses are all equal and triggered only once in each strand at a random time. The pulse intensity and cadence are selected so as to have steady active region loops ($\sim 3$ MK), on the average. We compute the evolution of the confined heated plasma with a hydrodynamic loop model. We then compute the emission al…
Resonant Rayleigh scattering in quantum well structures
1996
Abstract We report continuous wave experiments on resonant Rayleigh scattering (RRS) performed on high quality GaAs AlGaAs quantum well structures. The simultaneous measurement of the resonant Rayleigh scattering and of the photoluminescence excitation (PLE) allows us to resolve very small differences between the two spectra. We show that, even in very good samples, there is a small but detectable Stokes shift of the RRS profile with respect to the PLE. It is also found that the RRS profile has a smaller linewidth and is sensitive to bound exciton transitions which are not detectable in the PLE. We compare our data with previous findings and discuss possible origins of the Stokes shift.

Investigation of the influence of light illumination on the characteristics of CdZnTe detectors
2011
The spectral response of optical transmittance, spectrometry characteristics, output signal shapes and leakage currents of CdZnTe detectors with plane parallel electrodes under illumination with light within wavelength region of 400 – 1100 nm are presented.
XMM-Newton X-ray spectroscopy of the high mass X-ray binary 4U 1700-37 at low flux
2004
We present results of a monitoring campaign of the high-mass X-ray binary system 4U 1700-37/HD 153919, carried out with XMM-Newton in February 2001. The system was observed at four orbital phase intervals, covering 37% of one 3.41-day orbit. The lightcurve includes strong flares, commonly observed in this source. We focus on three epochs in which the data are not affected by photon pile up: the eclipse, the eclipse egress and a low-flux interval in the lightcurve around orbital phase phi ~0.25. The high-energy part of the continuum is modelled as a direct plus a scattered component, each represented by a power law with identical photon index (alpha ~1.4), but with different absorption colum…
Symmetry-induced long-lived excited state inAu6−
2007
We present time-resolved photoelectron spectra in combination with quantum chemical calculations based on time-dependent density functional theory for the study of the long-lived excited state of ${\mathrm{Au}}_{6}^{\ensuremath{-}}$. The experimental spectra indicate an excited state lifetime of at least $90\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{ns}$. It is shown that the orbital symmetry of the photoexcited state as well as the planarity of ${\mathrm{Au}}_{6}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ are responsible for the unusual long lifetime. A possible decay mechanism is the fluorescence of a photon which is estimated to take place on a time scale of $730\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{ns}$.
Low-momentum direct-photon measurement in Cu + Cu collisions at sNN=200GeV
2018
We measured direct photons for pT<5GeV/c in minimum bias and 0%–40% most-central events at midrapidity for Cu+Cu collisions at sNN=200GeV. The e+e− contribution from quasireal direct virtual photons has been determined as an excess over the known hadronic contributions in the e+e− mass distribution. A clear enhancement of photons over the binary scaled p+p fit is observed for pT<4GeV/c in Cu+Cu data. The pT spectra are consistent with the Au+Au data covering a similar number of participants. The inverse slopes of the exponential fits to the excess after subtraction of the p+p baseline are 285±53(stat)±57(syst)MeV/c and 333±72(stat)±45(syst)MeV/c for minimum bias and 0%–40% most-central even…
Suppression of the frequency drifts in polarization modulational instability spectra by means of a photon reservoir
2012
By appropriately combining the effects of second- and fourth-order dispersion, and by carefully choosing the pump power, we create a photon reservoir which suppresses the drifts of sidebands in the spectra of polarization modulational instability
Spectral energy distribution and generalized Wien's law for photons and cosmic string loops
2014
Physical objects with energy $u_w(l) \sim l^{-3w}$ with $l$ characteristic length and $w$ a dimensionless constant, lead to an equation of state $p=w\rho$, with $p$ the pressure and $\rho$ the energy density. Special entities with thisbproperty are, for instance, photons ($u = hc/l$, with $l$ the wavelength) with $w = 1/3$, and some models of cosmic string loops ($u =(c^4/aG)l$, with $l$ the length of the loop and $a$ a numerical constant), with $w = -1/3$. Here, we discuss some features of the spectral energy distribution of these systems and the corresponding generalization of Wien's law, which in terms of $l$ has the form $Tl_{mp}^{3w}=constant$, being $l_{mp}$ the most probable size of …
