Experimental neutron capture data of 58Ni from the CERN n_TOF facility

2014

The $^{58}$Ni $(n,\gamma)$ cross section has been measured at the neutron time of flight facility n_TOF at CERN, in the energy range from 27 meV up to 400 keV. In total, 51 resonances have been analyzed up to 122 keV. Maxwellian averaged cross sections (MACS) have been calculated for stellar temperatures of kT$=$5-100 keV with uncertainties of less than 6%, showing fair agreement with recent experimental and evaluated data up to kT = 50 keV. The MACS extracted in the present work at 30 keV is 34.2$\pm$0.6$_\mathrm{stat}\pm$1.8$_\mathrm{sys}$ mb, in agreement with latest results and evaluations, but 12% lower relative to the recent KADoNIS compilation of astrophysical cross sections. When in…

In-flight separation with gas-filled systems

1997

Abstract The application of gas-filled recoil separators in the study of fusion evaporation products from heavy ion induced reactions will be discussed. Practical methods for estimating the average magnetic rigidity of fusion products and target-like nuclei will be presented. Examples will be given of typical background intensities observed in studies of heavy elements. The merits of gas-filled devices in comparison with other in-flight separators will be discussed. Selected recent applications in the fields of heavy element research and in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy will be presented, and finally, some future projects will be discussed.

Ion-optical layout of a powerful next-generation pre-separator for in-flight separation of relativistic rare isotopes

2006

Abstract Rare isotope beams can be efficiently produced at relativistic energies via projectile fragmentation and projectile fission. Magnetic rigidity analysis in combination with atomic energy loss ( Bρ –Δ E – Bρ method) in profiled matter placed at dispersive focal planes represents the tool for spatial separation in flight. The next-generation in-flight separators at high energies will consist of multiple degrader stages to provide intense monoisotopic fragment beams of all elements up to uranium. The pre-separator layout with the first degrader system holds many technical challenges, e.g. to handle the high-power primary beams characterized by a large range in time structure, from a DC…

FILTER RESPONSE OF RESONANT WAVEGUIDE DIELECTRIC GRATINGS AT PLANE-WAVE CONICAL INCIDENCE

2009

An accurate and efficient formulation is presented for the electromagnetic analysis of dielectric waveguide gratings under plane-wave conical incidence. An arbitrary number of dielectric bars can be placed inside each one-dimension periodic cell, including the effect of dielectric losses. The reflectance of a dielectric waveguide grating under conical incidence is compared with theoretical results presented by other authors, finding a very good agreement. A single-layer reflection filter has been designed centered at λ0=1.5 μm whose spectral and angular responses are shown. For this structure, the effect of the asymmetry of the distribution of the refraction index in the reflectance has bee…

Record Phase Sensitive Extinction Ratio in a Silicon Germanium Waveguide

2015

A binary step-like phase response and phase-sensitive extinction ratio in excess of 28dB under CW pump operation was demonstrated in a 20mm-long low birefringence SiGe waveguide, using a polarization-assisted phase sensitive amplifier scheme.

Oxygen permeability of hydrogel contact lenses with organosilicon moieties

2002

Oxygen transport through two extended wear (day and night) hydrogel contact lenses that contain organosilicon moieties (balafilcon A and lotrafilcon A) was studied in the hydrate (hydrogel) and dry (xerogel) states. The water uptake increased the oxygen permeability [(Dk)app] and transmissibility [Dk/L(av)] coefficients of the dry materials by about 70%. The (Dk)app for the hydrated lenses was determined following the so-called stack procedure. The values obtained were 107 +/- 4 barrer for balafilcon A and 141 +/- 5 barrer for lotrafilcon A, about 5-10 times larger than those previously reported for conventional (without organosilicon moieties) extended wear hydrogels contact lenses. The Dk…

Focal Length Measuring Technique Using The Talbot Effect

1987

The Talbot effect - or self-imaging phenomenon - is applied to the measurement of focal lengths. The technique only requires axial distances to be measured and is suitable for both converging and diverging thick lenses.

Bottom-up approach within the electroweak effective theory: Constraining heavy resonances

2020

The LHC has confirmed the existence of a mass gap between the known particles and possible new states. Effective field theory is then the appropriate tool to search for low-energy signals of physics beyond the Standard Model. We adopt the general formalism of the electroweak effective theory, with a non-linear realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking, where the Higgs is a singlet with independent couplings. At higher energies we consider a generic resonance Lagrangian which follows the above-mentioned non-linear realization and couples the light particles to bosonic heavy resonances with $J^P=0^\pm$ and $J^P=1^\pm$. Integrating out the resonances and assuming a proper short-distance…
