A Refutation Of Special Relativity: II. Charge Particle Motion in Magnetic and Electric Fields

Models for the radiation damping force of a charged particle in a magnetic or electric field by means of a flux-proportional Lentz force has been shown to be an elegant solution for the inward spiraling trajectories under magnetic fields, and the speed limited trajectories under electric fields. Our phenomenological formulation of the damping force in a magnetic field requires a new attenuation coefficient, α, that has only been evaluated using experimental data, but whose pure theoretical evaluation may lead to improved understanding of the mechanism of electron damping in electromagnetic fields. We believe that the synchrotron radiation and its observed coherence is already sufficient experimental evidence for our modeling of radiation damping. It is hoped that our model could be applied to improve the designs of free electron lasers as well as the design of particle accelerators.

Monitoring of Ionosphere and Magnetosphere Plasma and High Energy Charge Particle Fluxes in Multi-satellite Measurements in Wide Range of Altitudes

A system for monitoring the radiation parameters of near-Earth space is described. This system is based on the multi-satellite measurements made on spacecraft Meteor, Electro, Arktika launched into orbits with a wide range of altitudes. The main instrument for space radiation monitoring is spectrometer of electrons and protons SKIF. Such instruments operate in all spacecraft of mentioned above series. The results of observations of different events connected with solar and geomagnetic activity in 2017 and 2021 years are presented and discussed.

Causes and Consequences of Geomagnetic Field Collapse

Consequences of the next geomagnetic field collapse, concomitant with a magnetic polarity reversal or excursion, have been greatly underestimated as based upon a widely-accepted, but physically-impossible geoscience paradigm. The underlying causes of geomagnetic field collapse are inexplicable in that flawed paradigm wherein geomagnetic field production is assumed to be produced in the Earth’s fluid core. Here I review the causes and consequences of geomagnetic field collapse in terms of a new geoscience paradigm, called Whole-Earth Decompression Dynamics, specifically focusing on nuclear fission georeactor generation of the geomagnetic field and the intimate connection between its energy production and the much greater stored energy of protoplanetary compression. The nuclear georeactor is subject to a staggering range and variety of potential instabilities. Yet, its natural self-control mechanism allows stable operation without geomagnetic reversals for times longer than 20 million years. Geomagnetic reversals and excursions occur when georeactor sub-shell convection is disrupted. Disrupted sub-shell convection can occur due to (1) major trauma to Earth such as an asteroid collision or (2) change in the charge particle flux from the sun or change in the ring current either of which can induce electrical current into the georeactor via the geomagnetic field causing ohmic-heating that can potentially disrupt sub-shell convection. Further, humans could deliberately or unintentionally disrupt sub-shell convection by disrupting the charge-particle environment across portions of the geomagnetic field by nuclear detonations or by heating the ionosphere with focused electromagnetic radiation. The use of electromagnetic pulse weapons is potentially far more devastating to humanity than previously imagined, and should be prohibited. During the next polarity reversal or excursion, increased volcanic activity may be expected in areas fed by georeactor heat, such as the East African Rift System, Hawaii, Iceland, and Yellowstone in the USA. One potentially great risk is triggering the eruption of the Yellowstone super-volcano.

Design and characterisation of frequency selective conductive materials for electromagnetic fields control

To prevent the electromagnetic (EM) wakefields excitation, protect detectors from damage at a range of installations and facilities including particle accelerators the EM field control is required. Conductive foils or wires providing EM protection and required thermal and mechanical properties are normally used. We suggest novel composite materials with uniquely designed frequency selective conductivity enabling them to overcome the properties of the conventional materials, protect from EM fields and supress undesirable phenomena. Theoretical and experimental investigations are carried out and the conductivity of designed and composite (dual-layer) aluminium/graphene metamaterials as well as graphene and aluminium foils is studied. The EM properties of these materials are compared, and conditions of full and partial electromagnetic transparency are discussed. Results observed allow engineering materials capable of EM field control, instability suppression including those observed in high-intensity particle accelerators and enabling control of an EM field generating media including relativistic charge particle beams.

Model predictions of charge particle densities and multiplicities in the forward region at 7 TeV

We simulate proton–proton interactions to study densities and multiplicities of charged particles at center-of-mass energy, [Formula: see text] TeV in the forward region and compare predictions with experimental findings of LHCb detector. We use different event generators: Sibyll2.3c, EPOS (1.99 and LHC tunes), and DPMJETIII for the simulations. The kinematic region for momentum [Formula: see text], transverse momentum [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in pseudorapidity is kept same as in the LHCb experiment for forward region. Predictions of different models and experimental data are presented and compared as a function of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity.

Comments on abelian Higgs models and persistent order

A natural question about Quantum Field Theory is whether there is a deformation to a trivial gapped phase. If the underlying theory has an anomaly, then symmetric deformations can never lead to a trivial phase. We discuss such discrete anomalies in Abelian Higgs models in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions. We emphasize the role of charge conjugation symmetry in these anomalies; for example, we obtain nontrivial constraints on the degrees of freedom that live on a domain wall in the VBS phase of the Abelian Higgs model in 2+1 dimensions. In addition, as a byproduct of our analysis, we show that in 1+1 dimensions the Abelian Higgs model is dual to the Ising model. We also study variations of the Abelian Higgs model in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions where there is no dynamical particle of unit charge. These models have a center symmetry and additional discrete anomalies. In the absence of a dynamical unit charge particle, the Ising transition in the 1+1 dimensional Abelian Higgs model is removed. These models without a unit charge particle exhibit a remarkably persistent order: we prove that the system cannot be disordered by either quantum or thermal fluctuations. Equivalently, when these theories are studied on a circle, no matter how small or large the circle is, the ground state is non-trivial.

Computer non-iterative data acquisition of particle trajectory in a spark chamber

This paper presents a novel non-iterative algorithm for charge particle localization in a spark chamber. Its performance is evaluated by computer simulations using the Monte Carlo simulation method and compared with the performance of an appropriate iterative algorithm. It is found that the proposed non-iterative algorithm performs significantly better, is easier to implement and requires less computational resources than the iterative algorithm.
