A Comparative Structural Analysis of Four Radiosonde Models

In this study, we first performed a comprehensive structural analysis of four models of radiosondes (devices intended for use as the meteorological probe of a sounding balloon) manufactured by three different companies – Graw, Vaisala and Meteomodem. The radiosondes were disassembled for visual inspection and manual measurement, three-dimensional computed tomography images were taken of their inner structure, and the outer shapes of the radiosondes were scanned with a structured-light three-dimensional scanner. The structural properties of the radiosondes thus identified were then compared to one other, based on which the Meteomodem M10 was ranked as the least harmful in a potential collision. Next, the Meteomodem M10 radiosonde was used in collision tests with a heavy target and with a pumpkin model, in order to evaluate the possible damage caused by and to the radiosonde in different types of collisions.

Triangular exchange diagram within the full off-shell Coulomb T-matrix in deuteron induced reactions

<span>The amplitude of the triangular diagrams in the three-body models of deuteron induced reactions <span>with charged particles contains the off-shell two-body <span><em>T</em><span>-matrix describing the intermediate-state <span>Coulomb scattering of charged subsystems. Up to now the latter has usually been replaced by the <span>Coulomb potential due to the computational reason. In this paper, we first investigate theoretically <span>and numerically the validity of the mentioned Coulomb-Born approximation. The results show the <span>important contribution of the higher order of the latter approximation for the (d,p) reactions off <span>heavy target.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></span></span></span>

Transverse and Longitudinal Lambda Polarization in Lepton Scattering by Unpolarized Nucleons at HERMES

Transverse and longitudinal polarization of [Formula: see text] hyperons has been studied. The transfere of polarization from high-energy positron to [Formula: see text] hyperon has been measured. The longitudinal spin transverse coefficient is found to be [Formula: see text] = [Formula: see text]. The transverse polarization of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] hyperons has been measured in inclusive quasireal photoproduction process for various target nuclei. The polarization observed is positive for light target nuclei and compartaible with zero for heavy target nuclei.

Characteristics of the total disintegration events of emulsion heavy target nuclei caused by O16 and 28Si nuclei at high energies

The present paper deals with the interactions of 16O and 28Si nuclei with emulsion heavy target nuclei (silver (Ag) and bromine (Br)) at 4.5A GeV/c. The results have been analyzed to identify interesting characteristics of the total disintegration (TD) events produced in these interactions. Events having a number of heavily ionizing particles Nh ≥ 28 have been selected in this study. The integral multiplicity distributions for the disintegrated particles from the target nuclei have been used to separate the inelastic interactions with the free hydrogen (H), the light (CNO), and the heavy (AgBr) nuclei. The average multiplicities of the different secondary particles emitted in these interactions have been compared with the corresponding ones of different projectiles nearly at the same momentum. The average multiplicity of the grey particles is found to increase with the mass of the projectile, while the average multiplicity of the black particles is found to decrease with increasing mass of the projectile; this result agrees with the prediction of the fireball model. Also, the dependence of the shower, grey, and black particles produced in the TD events on the mass of the projectile has been studied. Moreover, the dependence of the probability of the TD for the projectile mass as well as the target fragments has also been discussed. The results show that the multiplicity distributions of the shower, grey, and black particles present a Gaussian distribution. Finally, the linear dependence of the grey and compound multiplicities on the black, heavy, and shower particles has also been observed.
