Abstract

The global polarization of Λ hyperons along the total orbital angular momentum of a relativistic heavy-ion collision is presented based on the high statistics data samples collected in Au+Au collisions at sNN=2.4 GeV and Ag+Ag at 2.55 GeV with the High-Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer (HADES) at GSI, Darmstadt. This is the first measurement below the strangeness production threshold in nucleon-nucleon collisions. Results are reported as a function of the collision centrality as well as a function of the hyperon's transverse momentum (pT) and rapidity (yCM) for the range of centrality 0–40%. We observe a strong centrality dependence of the polarization with an increasing signal towards peripheral collisions. For mid-central (20 – 40%) collisions the polarization magnitudes are 〈PΛ〉(%)=6.8±1.3(stat.)±2.1(syst.) for Au+Au and 〈PΛ〉(%)=6.2±0.4(stat.)±0.6(syst.) for Ag+Ag, which are the largest values observed so far. This observation thus provides a continuation of the increasing trend previously observed by STAR and contrasts expectations from recent theoretical calculations predicting a maximum in the region of collision energies about 3 GeV. The observed polarization is of a similar magnitude as predicted by 3D-fluid-dynamics and the UrQMD plus thermal vorticity model and significantly above results from the AMPT model.

Abstract

A feasibility study has been performed in order to investigate the performance of the HADES detector to measure the electromagnetic decays of the hyperon resonances $\Sigma(1385)^0$, $\Lambda(1405)$ and $\Lambda{\Lambda}(1520)$ as well as the production of double strange baryon systems $\Xi^-$ and $\Lambda\Lambda$ in p+p reactions at a beam kinetic energy of 4.5 GeV. The existing HADES detector will be upgraded by a new Forward Detector, which extends the detector acceptance into a range of polar angles that plays a crucial role for these investigations. The analysis of each channel is preceded by a consideration of the production cross-sections. Afterwards the expected signal count rates using a target consisting of either liquid hydrogen or polyethylene are summarized., Comment: Draft prepared by Rafa{\l} Lalik, James Ritman, Piotr Salabura, 19 pages, 21 figures, 4 tables

Abstract

A 64-channel readout and data-acquisition module is described in detail. It consists of an H12700 multianode photomultiplier tube, four PADIWA preamplifier boards, and a TRB v3 card that perform the functions of a time-to-digital converter and a data concentrator. The software modules that are necessary for operation of the prototype are described. The inter-channel delays are calibrated. The drift of individual delays does not exceed 0.5 ns for the entire measurement time. The spectra of the “time over threshold” (ToT) are investigated. The influence of periodic noise pickups and the need to improve circuit designs are revealed. The timing properties of the wavelength shifter and its effect on the detection efficiency for Cherenkov rings are investigated. The most intense component is characterized by a decay time of 1.1 ns and there are components with characteristic times of 3.8 and 45 ns. The influence of single-electron spectrum features on the detection efficiency for photoelectrons and the probability of false hits are determined. The total time resolution of 131 channels is 1.1 ns (FWHM). The results make it possible to use the investigated system of readout and data acquisition in the CBM experiment. Nevertheless, the elimination of the revealed shortcomings will provide the efficiency margin and improve the reliability of the system during long-term operation.

Abstract

The CBM-RICH detector is designed to identify electrons with momenta up to 8 GeV/c and high purity as this is essential for the CBM physics program. The detector consist of a CO2-gaseous radiator, a spherical mirror system, and Multi-Anode PhotoMultiplier Tubes (MAPMT) of type H12700 from Hamamatsu as photon detectors. The detector concept was verified through R&D studies and a laterally scaled prototype. The results were summarized in a TDR, in which open issues were defined concerning the readout electronics, the shielding of the magnetic stray field in the MAPMT region, the radiation hardness of the MAPMT sensors, and the mechanical holding structure of the mirror system. In this article an overview is given on the CBM RICH development with focus on those open issues.

Abstract

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the future FAIR facility will investigate the QCD phase diagram at high net baryon densities and moderate temperatures in A+A collisions from 2 to 11 AGeV (SIS100). Electron identification in CBM will be performed by a Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector and Transition Radiation Detectors (TRD). A real size prototype of the RICH detector was tested together with other CBM groups at the CERN PS/T9 beam line in 2014. For the first time the data format used the FLESnet protocol from CBM delivering free streaming data. The analysis was fully performed within the CBMROOT framework. In this contribution the data analysis and the event reconstruction methods which were used for obtained data are discussed. Rings were reconstructed using an algorithm based on the Hough Transform method and their parameters were derived with high accuracy by circle and ellipse fitting procedures. We present results of the application of the presented algorithms. In particular we compare results with and without Wavelength shifting (WLS) coating.

Abstract

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the future Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (FAIR) will investigate the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter at high net-baryon density and moderate temperature in A+A collisions. One of the key detectors of CBM to explore this physics program is a Ring Imaging CHerenkov (RICH) detector for electron identification. For a high performance of the RICH detector precise mirror alignment is essential. A three-step correction cycle has been developed, which will be discussed: First a qualitative, fast check of the mirror positions, second a quantitative determination of possible misalignments and third a software correction routine, allowing a proper functioning of the RICH under misalignment conditions.

Abstract

In 2015 1100 Multi-Anode Photo-Multipliers (MAPMTs) of type HAMAMATSU H12700 were ordered to equip the photon detection plane of the CBM-RICH and HADES-RICH detectors. Both experiments aim to study the properties of dense matter produced in heavy ion collisions. To measure the characteristics of all ordered MAPMTs and give feedback to the manufacturer, a test bench was built at the University of Wuppertal. This paper describes the working principle of the test bench and compiles the measurements of the first 400 H12700 MAPMTs delivered. The average characteristics of the H12700 gathered from these measurements are discussed and compared to measurements of the HAMAMATSU H8500.

Abstract

Wavelength-shifting (WLS) films of p-terphenyl have been applied by means of dip-coating on the entrance window of the H12700 multi anode photomultiplier (MAPMT) in order to enhance the UV sensitivity. Using coated and uncoated MAPMTs in a CBM RICH testbox in a proton testbeam at the COSY accelerator, an enhancement of the number of hits per ring of 15%–20% depending on cuts has been observed. Due to new fast readout electronics of the RICH detector for the CBM/ HADES experiments, the time response of p-terphenyl has been measured to show a decay constant of 2.35 ns. This compares well with time-resolved fluorescence measurements of the films.

Abstract

The upgraded HADES RICH detector, as well as the future CBM RICH detector, will both use the same Hamamatsu H12700 Multianode PMTs read out by the newly developed DiRICH FPGA-TDC readout chain for MAPMTs and MCPs. The upgrade of the HADES RICH photon detector has meanwhile been completed, and we are now looking forward to the upcoming physics run in spring 2019. A brief overview on the status of both detector projects is given and supplemented with the recent test-beam results which confirmed the functionality of the DiRICH development before the start of the mass-production of all DiRICH components needed for the HADES RICH upgrade.

Abstract

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the future Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (FAIR) complex will explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter at high baryon density and moderate temperatures in A+A collisions. The energy spectrum will start at 2 AGeV/c and extend up to 11 AGeV/c for the heaviest nuclei at the SIS 100 accelerator set-up. To explore the physics program of CBM, a RICH detector will be employed for electron identification and pion suppression in a momentum range up to 8 GeV/c. Mirror alignment is a key issue for a proper detector operation. The final conceptual design for a monitoring system of the alignment of the mirrors of the CBM RICH detector will be introduced. It consists of a fast qualitative check of the alignment as well as two different methods to derive quantitative numbers for misalignments. A software correction cycle had been developed which, once applied allows to get back to physics performances as in an ideally aligned case.

Abstract

International audience; Substantial experimental and theoretical efforts worldwide are devoted to explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. At LHC and top RHIC energies, QCD matter is studied at very high temperatures and nearly vanishing net-baryon densities. There is evidence that a Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) was created at experiments at RHIC and LHC. The transition from the QGP back to the hadron gas is found to be a smooth cross over. For larger net-baryon densities and lower temperatures, it is expected that the QCD phase diagram exhibits a rich structure, such as a first-order phase transition between hadronic and partonic matter which terminates in a critical point, or exotic phases like quarkyonic matter. The discovery of these landmarks would be a breakthrough in our understanding of the strong interaction and is therefore in the focus of various high-energy heavy-ion research programs. The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR will play a unique role in the exploration of the QCD phase diagram in the region of high net-baryon densities, because it is designed to run at unprecedented interaction rates. High-rate operation is the key prerequisite for high-precision measurements of multi-differential observables and of rare diagnostic probes which are sensitive to the dense phase of the nuclear fireball. The goal of the CBM experiment at SIS100 ( $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 2.7--4.9 GeV) is to discover fundamental properties of QCD matter: the phase structure at large baryon-chemical potentials ( $\mu_B > 500$ MeV), effects of chiral symmetry, and the equation of state at high density as it is expected to occur in the core of neutron stars. In this article, we review the motivation for and the physics programme of CBM, including activities before the start of data taking in 2024, in the context of the worldwide efforts to explore high-density QCD matter.

Abstract

During the cell cycle each organelle has to be faithfully partitioned to the daughter cells. However, the mechanisms controlling organellar inheritance remain poorly understood. We studied the contribution of the cell cortex protein, Num1, to mitochondrial partitioning in yeast. Live-cell microscopy revealed that Num1 is required for attachment of mitochondria to the cell cortex and retention in mother cells. Electron tomography of anchoring sites revealed plasma membrane invaginations directly contacting the mitochondrial outer membrane. Expression of chimeric plasma membrane tethers rescued mitochondrial fission defects in Δnum1 and Δmdm36 mutants. These findings provide new insights into the coupling of mitochondrial dynamics, immobilization, and retention during inheritance.

Abstract

With the availability of increasing numbers of fluorescent protein variants and state-of-the-art imaging techniques, live cell microscopy has become a standard procedure in modern cell biology. Fluorescent markers are used to visualize the dynamic processes that take place in living cells, including the behavior of membrane-bound organelles. Here, we provide two examples of how we analyze the membrane dynamics of mitochondria in living yeast cells using wide field and confocal microscopy: (1) Long-term observation of mitochondrial shape changes using mitochondria-targeted fluorescent proteins and (2) monitoring the behavior of individual mitochondria using a mitochondria-targeted version of a photoconvertible fluorescent protein.

Abstract

The inheritance of mitochondria in yeast depends on bud-directed transport along actin filaments. It is a matter of debate whether anterograde mitochondrial movement is mediated by the myosin-related motor protein Myo2 or by motor-independent mechanisms. We show that mutations in the Myo2 cargo binding domain impair entry of mitochondria into the bud and are synthetically lethal with deletion of the YPT11 gene encoding a rab-type guanosine triphosphatase. Mitochondrial distribution defects and synthetic lethality were rescued by a mitochondria-specific Myo2 variant that carries a mitochondrial outer membrane anchor. Furthermore, immunoelectron microscopy revealed Myo2 on isolated mitochondria. Thus, Myo2 is an essential and direct mediator of bud-directed mitochondrial movement in yeast. Accumulating genetic evidence suggests that maintenance of mitochondrial morphology, Ypt11, and retention of mitochondria in the bud contribute to Myo2-dependent inheritance of mitochondria.

Abstract

Viroids are single-stranded circular RNA molecules of 240 to 400 nucleotides which are pathogens of certain higher plants and replicate autonomously in the host cell. Virusoids are similar to viroids in respect to size and circularity but replicate only as genomic part of a plant virus. Their structure and structural transitions have been investigated by thermo-dynamic, kinetic and hydrodynamic methods. The special features of the sequences of these RNAs, which are the basis for their secondary structures and structural flexibility, are investigated with theoretical methods. A set of thermodynamic parameters for helix growth and loop formation is selected from the literature to calculate secondary structures and structural transitions of single-stranded RNAs. Appropriate modifications of the chosen parameter set are discussed. For calculations we used either Tinoco-plots and the model of "cooperative helices" or the Zuker-program based on the exact algorithm of Nussinov et al, or both. Calculations were done for viroids and virusoids. As both are single-stranded, circular RNAs we had to modify the Zuker-program as described in the appendix. Calculations are done for different viroids, i.e. potato spindle tuber, citrus exocortis, chrysanthemum stunt, coconut cadang-cadang, and avocado sunblotch, and for two virusoids, i.e. the circular RNAs of Solanum nodiflorum mottle virus, and velvet tobacco mottle virus. For viroids the calculations confirm our earlier theoretical and experimental results about the extended native structure and the highly cooperative transition into a branched structure. Virusoids show less base pairing, branching in the native secondary structure, and only low cooperativity during denaturation. They resemble more closely the properties of random sequences with length, G:C content, and circularity as in viroids but statistical sequences. The comparison of viroids, virusoids, and circular RNA or random sequences confirms the uniqueness of viroid structure.
