Determination of geometry of heavy ion collisions with forward hadron calorimeter (FHCal) at MPD/NICA

The main purpose of the FHCal is to provide an experimental measurement of a heavy-ion collision centrality (impact parameter) and orientation of its reaction plane. FHCal consists of two identical arms placed at the left/right sides from the beam collision point. Due to the fine modular structure and detection of spectators in both forward/backward regions, the angular resolution of the reaction plane reconstruction is below 30 degrees. Since the heavy fragments escape into beam holes, it is not possible to distinguish the central and peripheral collisions using only the deposited energies in FHCal. The subdivision of the calorimeter into two, inner and outer parts, and the calculation of the energy depositions separately in these calorimeter parts allow one to construct a new observable, the energy asymmetry. Taking the two-dimensional correlation between the energy asymmetry and full energy deposition in the calorimeter, it would be possible to resolve the ambiguity in the centrality determination.

Quantum evolution of a qubit state with decoherence and LFC

We study the Rabi oscillation of two-level system in double quantum dots, and found that the Rabi oscillation considering decoherence rate is a cycle attenuated oscillation when the qubit energy asymmetry [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] is the qubit energy asymmetry). The peak of Rabi oscillation alternatively changes in the case of the qubit energy asymmetry [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] is the qubit tunneling matrix element). Moreover, the local field correction (LFC) greatly affects the frequency of Rabi oscillation, in which the Rabi frequency changes fast with LFC increasing.

Energy Harvesting in the Nonlinear Piezoelastic Systems Driven by Harmonic Excitations with Asymmetrical Shape of the Potential Energy

We examine the influence of potential energy asymmetry on the power generated by energy harvesting system. We present results for the system consisting of two masses (magnets) attached to piezoelastic oscillators which vibrate in the magnetic field produced by the magnets attached directly to the harvesting device. The nonlinearity of the system is achieved by the variable strength of the magnetic fields produced by the static magnets. We additionally examine the influence of disproportion between piezoelastic beams stiffness, which is described by the mistuning parameter.

PULSAR KICKS WITH STANDARD AND STERILE NEUTRINOS AND LANDAU LEVELS

I first give an update on our study of the energy asymmetry given the proto-neutron star during the time when the neutrino sphere is near the surface of the proto-neutron star, at a time 10-20s, using the modified URCA process. With the magnetic field strong enough for a large fraction of the electrons produced with the anti-neutrinos to be in the lowest Landau level, we predict a pulsar velocity of 1.03 × 10−4(T/1010K)7 km / s , which reaches 1000 km/s if T ≃ 9.96 × 1010 K . Also, using the recent results of the MiniBoone study, with two sterile neutrinos, I give results for pulsar kicks during the first 10s.
