The 35-d modulation of the X-ray emission of Her X-1 in the framework of the SOD model: results of a three-dimensional SPH simulation
1994
Several models have been proposed to explain the 35-d X-ray periodicity observed in Her X-1. We present the results of six three-dimensional quasi-polytropic smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of the tilted, twisted accretion disc of Her X-1 carried out in the light of Roberts' slaved orienting disc model (SOD) with the intention of finding some limits to the inclination of the rotation axis of the secondary and to the value of the polytropic index γ. These results show that a γ value between 1.05 and 1.1 and an inclination angle φ of the order of 45° are the most suitable for enabling the SOD model to work in three-dimensional space. The simulated disc is rather small and th…
Limit on Lorentz-Invariance- and CPT-Violating Neutron Spin Interactions Using a $^3$He-$^{129}$Xe Comagnetometer
2016
We performed a search for a Lorentz-invariance- and CPT-violating coupling of the $^3$He and $^{129}$Xe nuclear spins to posited background fields. Our experimental approach is to measure the free precession of nuclear spin polarized $^3$He and $^{129}$Xe atoms using SQUID detectors. As the laboratory reference frame rotates with respect to distant stars, we look for a sidereal modulation of the Larmor frequencies of the co-located spin samples. As a result we obtain an upper limit on the equatorial component of the background field $\tilde{b}^n_{\bot}< 8.4 \cdot 10^{-34}$ GeV (68\% C.L.). Furthermore, this technique was modified to search for an electric dipole moment (EDM) of $^{129}$X…
Spin clocks: Probing fundamental symmetries in nature
2013
The detection of the free precession of co-located 3He/129Xe nuclear spins (clock comparison) is used as ultra-sensitive probe for non-magnetic spin interactions, since the magnetic dipole interaction (Zeeman-term) drops out in the weighted frequency difference, i.e., Δω = ωHe- γHe/γXe·ωXe of the respective Larmor frequencies. Recent results are reported on searches for (i) short-range P- and T-violating interactions between nucleons, and (ii) Lorentz violating signatures by monitoring the Larmor frequencies as the laboratory reference frame rotates with respect to distant stars (sidereal modulation). Finally, a new experimental initiative to search for an electric dipole moment of 129Xe (C…
Measurement of the anomalous precession frequency of the muon in the Fermilab Muon g−2 Experiment
2021
The Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) has measured the muon anomalous precession frequency $\omega_a$ to an uncertainty of 434 parts per billion (ppb), statistical, and 56 ppb, systematic, with data collected in four storage ring configurations during its first physics run in 2018. When combined with a precision measurement of the magnetic field of the experiment's muon storage ring, the precession frequency measurement determines a muon magnetic anomaly of $a_{\mu}({\rm FNAL}) = 116\,592\,040(54) \times 10^{-11}$ (0.46 ppm). This article describes the multiple techniques employed in the reconstruction, analysis and fitting of the data to measure the preces…
Cyclic fluctuations, climatic changes and role of noise in planktonic foraminifera in the Mediterranean Sea
2005
The study of Planktonic Foraminifera abundances permits to obtain climatic curves on the basis of percentage ratio between tropical and temperate/polar forms. Climatic changes were controlled by several phenomena as: (i) Milankovitch's cycles, produced by variations of astronomical parameters such as precession, obliquity and eccentricity; (ii) continental geodynamic evolution and orogenic belt; (iii) variations of atmospheric and oceanic currents; (iv) volcanic eruptions; (v) meteor impacts. But while astronomical parameters have a quasi-regular periodicity, the other phenomena can be considered as "noise signal" in natural systems. The interplay between cyclical astronomical variations, t…

Elementos utópicos en la India descrita por Onesícrito
2003
Onesícrito fue uno de los intelectuales más destacados de entre los que acompañaron a Alejandro Magno en su legendaria campaña. Desempeñó importantes cometidos: se entrevistó con los "gimnosofístas", fue el timonel de la nave real y, ante todo, es conocido por haber escrito una obra en la que, entre otros elementos, había una descripción del utópico reino de Musícano y de la región de Catea.
