Abstract Single photoionization cross-sections for Kr-like Rb+ ions are reported in the energy (wavelength) range from 22 (564 Å) to 46 eV (270 Å). Theoretical cross-section calculations for this trans-Fe element are compared with measurements from the ASTRID radiation facility in Aarhus, Denmark and from the dual laser plasma technique, at respectively 40 and 35 meV FWHM energy resolution. In the photon energy region 22–32 eV the spectrum is dominated by excitation auto-ionizing resonance states. Above 32 eV the cross-section exhibits classic Fano window resonances features, which are analysed and discussed. Large-scale theoretical photoionization cross-section calculations, performed using a Dirac Coulomb R-matrix approximation are benchmarked against these high-resolution experimental results. Comparison of the theoretical work with the experimental studies allowed the identification of resonance features and their parameters in the spectra in addition to contributions from excited metastable states of the Rb+ ions.

High-resolution K-shell photoionization cross-sections for the C-like atomic nitrogen ion (N+) are reported in the 398 eV (31.15 Å) to 450 eV (27.55 Å) energy (wavelength) range. The results were obtained from absolute ion-yield measurements using the SOLEIL synchrotron radiation facility for spectral bandpasses of 65 meV or 250 meV. In the photon energy region 398–403 eV, 1s⟶2p autoionizing resonance states dominated the cross section spectrum. Analyses of the experimental profiles yielded resonance strengths and Auger widths. In the 415–440 eV photon region 1s⟶(1s2s22p2 4P)np and 1s⟶(1s2s22p2 2P)np resonances forming well-developed Rydberg series up n=7 and n=8 , respectively, were identified in both the single and double ionization spectra. Theoretical photoionization cross-section calculations, performed using the R-matrix plus pseudo-states (RMPS) method and the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) approach were bench marked against these high-resolution experimental results. Comparison of the state-of-the-art theoretical work with the experimental studies allowed the identification of new resonance features. Resonance strengths, energies and Auger widths (where available) are compared quantitatively with the theoretical values. Contributions from excited metastable states of the N+ ions were carefully considered throughout.

The work of multilayer glass structures for central and eccentric compression and bending are considered. The substantiation of the chosen research topic is made. The description and features of laminated glass for the structures investigated, their characteristics are presented. The analysis of the results obtained when testing for compression, compression with bending, simple bending of models of columns, beams, samples of laminated glass was made. Overview of the types and nature of destruction of the models are presented, diagrams of material operation are constructed, average values of the resistance of the cross-sections of samples are obtained, the table of destructive loads is generated. The need for development of a set of rules and guidelines for the design of glass structures, including laminated glass, for bearing elements, as well as standards for testing, rules for assessing the strength, stiffness, crack resistance and methods for determining the strength of control samples is emphasized. It is established that the strength properties of glass depend on the type of applied load and vary widely, and significantly lower than the corresponding normative values of the strength of heat-strengthened glass. The effect of the connecting polymeric material and manufacturing technology of laminated glass on the strength of the structure is also shown. The experimental values of the elastic modulus are different in different directions of the cross section and in the direction perpendicular to the glass layers are two times less than along the glass layers.

Abstract In deep underground mining, achieving stable support for roadways along with long service life is critical and the complex geological environment at such depths frequently presents a major challenge. Owing to the coupling action of multiple factors such as deep high stress, adjacent faults, cross-layer design, weak lithology, broken surrounding rock, variable cross-sections, wide sections up to 9.9 m, and clusters of nearby chambers, there was severe deformation and breakdown in the No. 10 intersection of the roadway of large-scale variable cross-section at the − 760 m level in the Nanfeng working area of the Wuyang Coal Mine. As there are insufficient examples in engineering methods pertaining to the geological environment described above, the numerical calculation model was oversimplified and support theory underdeveloped; therefore, it is imperative to develop an effective support system for the stability and sustenance of deep roadways. In this study, a quantitative analysis of the geological environment of the roadway through field observations, borehole peeking, and ground stress testing is carried out to establish the FLAC 3D variable cross-section crossing roadway model. This model is combined with the strain softening constitutive (surrounding rock) and Mohr-Coulomb constitutive (other deep rock formations) models to construct a compression arch mechanical model for deep soft rock, based on the quadratic parabolic Mohr criterion. An integrated control technology of bolting and grouting that is mainly composed of a high-strength hollow grouting cable bolt equipped with modified cement grouting materials and a high-elongation cable bolt is developed by analyzing the strengthening properties of the surrounding rock before and after bolting, based on the Heok-Brown criterion. As a result of on-site practice, the following conclusions are drawn: (1) The plastic zone of the roof of the cross roadway is approximately 6 m deep in this environment, the tectonic stress is nearly 30 MPa, and the surrounding rock is severely fractured. (2) The deformation of the roadway progressively increases from small to large cross-sections, almost doubling at the largest cross-section. The plastic zone is concentrated at the top plate and shoulder and decreases progressively from the two sides to the bottom corner. The range of stress concentration at the sides of the intersection roadway close to the passageway is wider and higher. (3) The 7 m-thick reinforced compression arch constructed under the strengthening support scheme has a bearing capacity enhanced by 1.8 to 2.3 times and increase in thickness of the bearing structure by 1.76 times as compared to the original scheme. (4) The increase in the mechanical parameters c and φ of the surrounding rock after anchoring causes a significant increase in σc and σt; the pulling force of the cable bolt beneath the new grouting material is more than twice that of ordinary cement grout, and according to the test, the supporting stress field shows that the 7.24 m surrounding rock is compacted and strengthened in addition to providing a strong foundation for the bolt (cable). On-site monitoring shows that the 60-day convergence is less than 30 mm, indicating that the stability control of the roadway is successful.

The photoionization cross section calculation for the ground state 1s22s22p6 1S (J = 0) of Ne-like W64+ has been performed in the close-coupling approximation using the Dirac–Coulomb R-matrix method. The resonance structures are analysed and described by finding the resonance energy positions of prominent Rydberg series 2s2p6(2S)np 1P0 for W LXV ion. To calculate fine structure energy levels, multi-configuration Dirac–Fock and relativistic distorted-wave methods have been employed. Wherever possible we have compared our work with the available data. The present results will be useful for diagnostics and modeling of plasma in ITER and other fusion devices.

There are 35 proton-rich isotopes between 74Se and 196Hg that cannot be synthesized through neutron captures and β− decays (s- and r-processes). A third process is therefore required for the production of these nuclei, the so-called p-process. The abundance and the origin of the p-nuclei are still not fully understood even though significant experimental and theoretical efforts in astrophysical modeling have been expended in the last two decades. The experimental studies with the activation method to measure cross sections of the relevant reactions have some limitations: the reaction product must be radioactive, should have an appropriate half-life, and its decay should be followed by proper γ-radiations. If the cross section cannot be calculated with the radiation followed by the first beta decay of the product, it can be measured using the second beta decay as an alternative method. In this study, the method and candidate reactions for the cross-section measurements via the second beta decay of the reaction product using the activation method are discussed.

By using the K-matrix technique for the continuum states that was previously employed with particularly diffuse L2 basis sets, it is shown that GTO bases are also capable of yielding accurate values for the properties belonging to the electronic continuum. The method has been tested for helium and proved of satisfactory accuracy also for the analysis of the autoionizing states. The results include the phase shifts of the continuum states of the 1Seand 1P° manifolds, the properties of the lowest resonances of these symmetries, the ground state photoionization cross section, and the S contribution to the 1s2p1P° photoionization cross section. The results obtained suggest that the proposed technique should be useful for computing molecular differential photoionization cross sections by exploiting the widely used codes that employ GTO bases. Keywords: photoionization, Gaussian basis sets, helium, autoionizing states.

The 4He giant dipole resonance is calculated with the generalized R-matrix method of Lane and Robson. The model treats the center of mass correctly and includes noncentral components in the nucleon–nucleon interaction via the Sussex interaction. The 4He(γ,p)3H and 4He(γ,n)3He cross sections are sensitive to the 4He level spectrum, but are in reasonable agreement with the photonuclear data for level schemes which agree with the spectrum suggested by Fiarman and Meyerhof (FM). Other spectra which bracket the FM levels lead to poorer photonuclear cross sections. R-matrix model results also lead to a (γ,p)/(γ,n) cross section ratio which is about unity.

The relativistic R-matrix method is used to calculate the total photoionization cross sections from the ground state 1s22s2 1S0 of Al X for photon energies ranges from the first ionization threshold to just above the eighth threshold of the residual ion Al XI. In this work, the relativistic distorted-wave method is employed to calculate the fine-structure energy levels and radial functions. The lowest eight level target states of Al XI are used in the photoionization calculations of Al X and should provide a reasonably complete database for practical application for photoionization cross section for Al X. The resonance energy levels and widths of 18 Rydberg series have been investigated.
