We consider a possible neutron–antineutron (n−n¯) oscillation experiment at the PF1B instrument at Institut Laue Langevin. It can improve the best existing constraint on the transition rate and also allow the testing of the methods and instrumentation which would be needed for a later larger-scale experiment at ESS. The main gain factors over the most competitive experiment, performed earlier at PF1 instrument at ILL, are: a more intense neutron beam and a new operating mode based on coherent n and n¯ mirror reflections. The installation of such an experiment would need a temporary replacement of the existing ballistic neutron guide by a specially designed n/n¯ guide with a gradually increasing cross section and a specially selected coating as well as the development and construction of an advanced n¯ annihilation detector with a high efficiency and low background. The overall gain factor could reach up to an order of magnitude and depends on the chosen experiment configuration.

The Cross

The two-pion production in pp-collisions has been investigated in exclusive measurements from threshold up to Tp = 1.36 GeV . Total and differential cross sections have been obtained for the channels pnπ+π0, ppπ+π-, ppπ0π0 and also nnπ+π+. For intermediate incident energies Tp > 1 GeV , i.e. in the region, which is beyond the Roper excitation but at the onset of ΔΔ excitation the total ppπ0π0 cross section falls behind theoretical predictions by as much as an order of magnitude near 1.2 GeV, whereas the nnπ+π+ cross section is a factor of five larger than predicted. A model-unconstrained isospin decompostion of the cross section points to a significant contribution of an isospin 3/2 resonance other than the Δ(1232). As a possible candidate the Δ(1600) is discussed.

Emerging High efficiency video coding (HEVC) is expected to be widely adopted in network applications for high definition devices and mobile terminals. Thus, construction of HEVC's encryption schemes that maintain format compliance and bit rate of encrypted bitstream becomes an active security's researches area. This paper presents a novel selective encryption technique for HEVC videos, based on enciphering the bins of selected Golomb–Rice code’s suffixes with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in a CBC operating mode. The scheme preserves format compliance and size of the encrypted HEVC bitstream, and provides high visual degradation with optimized encryption space defined by selected Golomb–Rice suffixes. Experimental results show reliability and robustness of the proposed technique.

To prevent the initiation failure caused by the uncontrolled fuze and improve the weapon reliability in the high-speed double-event fuel-air explosive (DEFAE) application, it is necessary to study the TDF motion trajectory and set up a twice-detonating fuze (TDF) design system. Hence, a novel approach of realising the fixed single-point center initiation by TDF within the fuel air cloud is proposed. Accordingly, a computational model for the TDF motion state with the nonlinear mechanics analysis is built due to the expensive and difficult full-scale experiment. Moreover, the TDF guidance design system is programmed using MATLAB with the equations of mechanical equilibrium. In addition, by this system, influences of various input parameters on the TDF motion trajectory are studied in detail singly. Conclusively, the result of a certain TDF example indicates that this paper provides an economical idea for the TDF design, and the developed graphical user interface of high-efficiency for the weapon designers to facilitate the high-speed DEFAE missile development.

ABSTRACTThis paper reports the results from a study conducted to determine the effect of electron energy on the dose-to-amorphization of Zr3Fe at 23-30 K. Zr3Fe samples were irradiated in the HVEM at Argonne National Laboratory, at energies ranging from 200 to 900 keV. Amorphization occurred at electron energies from 900 keV down to 250 keV. Three distinct regions were observed: between 900 and 700 keV amorphization occurred at a constant low dose of ~ 4 × 1021 e cm-2; a higher plateau at 1022 was observed between 600 and 400 keV, and finally there was a sharp increase in the dose-to-amorphization below 400 keV, so that at 250 keV the necessary dose was an order of magnitude higher than that at 900 keV. In the region below 400 keV there was evidence of a dependence of the dose-to-amorphization on the orientation of the sample with respect to the electron beam. The results can be analyzed in terms of a composite displacement cross section dominated at high energies by displacements of Zr and Fe atoms, by displacements of Fe atoms at intermediate energies and of secondary displacements of lattice atoms by recoil impurities at low energies.

A simple method has been established for the evaluation of the service performance of ships. Input data are easily collected daily on board and transformed to a well-defined condition that makes possible the comparison between ships, for instance, sister ships, and between different time periods of voyages for the same ship. The procedure has been applied to two ships that are identical, with the only exception that one has a conventional propeller, whereas the other one is fitted with a high-efficiency propeller of the KAPPEL type. The results are obtained from a period of 2 years steaming for both vessels. They clearly confirm the increase of propulsive efficiency obtained with the KAPPEL propeller in the order of magnitude of 4%.

A pole regularized nonlinear spinor theory may be a suitable test object to compare scattering calculations of Stumpf's functional quantum theory with LSZ-results. To apply the LSZ-technique in this theory, a dressing of the occurring massless Green's function is necessary. It is shown which special approximations allow for this dressing. The renormalized nucleon-nucleon coupling constant yields the right order of magnitude for the elastic nucleon cross section.

Slow protons having energies below 1.5 keV dissipate their kinetic energy in matter through elastic nuclear collisions. By this process atoms are displaced out from their original positions in macromolecules. This was recently shown to cause biological damage with high efficiency. Experiments are described to test the possibility of modifying the sensitivity of ribonuclease towards elastic collisions by protective agents and by low temperatures. When cystamine is present during irradiation dry ribonuclease is protected against the action of “ionizing” fast protons (2 MeV), the dose reduction factor being 1.8. But no protection is observed when inactivation is achieved by elastic nuclear collisions (proton energy 1 keV and 1.4 keV). Similar results were obtained when the irradiations were carried out at different temperatures. Using 2 MeV protons the radiosensitivity of ribonuclease was found to be 3 times higher at room temperature than at 125 °K, but when using slow protons of 1.4 keV energy the inactivation cross section turned out to be independent of temperature. This shows that the action of elastic nuclear collisions can be modified neither by cystamine nor by low temperatures.

AbstractThe effect of the laser energy density used to deposit Bi onto amorphous aluminum oxide (a-Al2O3) on the growth of Bi nanocrystals has been investigated using transmission electron microscopy of cross section samples. The laser energy density on the Bi target was varied by one order of magnitude (0.4 to 5 J cm-2). Across the range of energy densities, in addition to the Bi nanocrystals nucleated on the a-Al2O3 surface, a dark and apparently continuous layer appears below the nanocrystals. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis on the layer have shown it is Bi rich. The separation from the Bi layer to the bottom of the nanocrystals on top is consistent with the implantation range of Bi species in a-Al2O3. As the laser energy density increases, the implantation range has been measured to increase. The early stages of the Bi growth have been analyzed in order to determine how the Bi implanted layer develops.
