Abstract

Physically realistic models of stellar spectra are needed in a variety of astronomical studies, from the analysis of fundamental stellar parameters, to studies of exoplanets and stellar populations in galaxies. Here we present a new version of the widely used radiative transfer code Turbospectrum, which we update so that it is able to perform spectrum synthesis for lines of multiple chemical elements in non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE). We use the code in the analysis of metallicites and abundances of the Gaia FGK benchmark stars, using 1D MARCS atmospheric models and the averages of 3D radiation-hydrodynamics simulations of stellar surface convection. We show that the new more physically realistic models offer a better description of the observed data, and we make the program and the associated microphysics data publicly available, including grids of NLTE departure coefficients for H, O, Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Sr, and Ba.

Abstract

Background: DIS on the polarized deuteron with detection of a proton in the nuclear breakup region (spectator tagging) represents a unique method for extracting the neutron spin structure functions and studying nuclear modifications. The tagged proton momentum controls the nuclear configuration during the DIS process and enables a differential analysis of nuclear effects. Such measurements could be performed with the future electron-ion collider (EIC) and forward proton detectors if deuteron beam polarization could be achieved. Purpose: Develop theoretical framework for polarized deuteron DIS with spectator tagging. Formulate procedures for neutron spin structure extraction. Methods: A covariant spin density matrix formalism is used to describe general deuteron polarization in collider experiments (vector/tensor, pure/mixed). Light-front (LF) quantum mechanics is employed to factorize nuclear and nucleonic structure in the DIS process. A 4-dimensional representation of LF spin structure is used to construct the polarized deuteron LF wave function and efficiently evaluate the spin sums. Free neutron structure is extracted using the impulse approximation and analyticity in the tagged proton momentum (pole extrapolation). Results: General expressions of the polarized tagged DIS observables in collider experiments. Analytic and numerical study of the polarized deuteron LF spectral function and nucleon momentum distributions. Practical procedures for neutron spin structure extraction from the tagged deuteron spin asymmetries. Conclusions: Spectator tagging provides new tools for precise neutron spin structure measurements. D-wave depolarization and nuclear binding effects can be eliminated through the tagged proton momentum dependence. The methods can be extended to tensor-polarized observables, spin-orbit effects, and diffractive processes., Comment: 52 pages, 19 figures

Abstract

The Belgian repository of fundamental atomic data and stellar spectra (BRASS) aims to provide the largest systematic and homogeneous quality assessment to-date of input atomic data required for stellar spectral synthesis. In addition to quality-assessed atomic data, BRASS shall also provide of a range of extremely high-quality benchmark stellar spectra spanning late B-type stars to early K-type stars. In this paper, we summarise the project&rsquo, s progress and available results to-date. We provide a brief comparison between our results and the BRASS project&rsquo, s compiled and cross-matched atomic literature, with the goal of providing useful feedback to the atomic community on which methods may produce more reliable and accurate atomic data. We hope that the examples presented here stimulate further investigation by the atomic physics community.

Abstract

We present the results of our final analysis of the full data set of gp1(Q2), the spin structure function of the proton, collected using CLAS at Jefferson Laboratory in 2000–2001. Polarized electrons with energies of 1.6, 2.5, 4.2, and 5.7 GeV were scattered from proton targets (15NH3 dynamically polarized along the beam direction) and detected with CLAS. From the measured double spin asymmetries, we extracted virtual photon asymmetries Ap1 and Ap2 and spin structure functions gp1 and gp2 over a wide kinematic range (0.05 GeV2

Abstract

Our ability to model the shapes and strengths of iron lines in the solar spectrum is a critical test of the accuracy of the solar iron abundance, which sets the absolute zero-point of all stellar metallicities. We use an extensive 463-level Fe atom with new photoionisation cross-sections for FeI as well as quantum mechanical calculations of collisional excitation and charge transfer with neutral hydrogen; the latter effectively remove a free parameter that has hampered all previous line formation studies of Fe in non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE). For the first time, we use realistic 3D NLTE calculations of Fe for a quantitative comparison to solar observations. We confront our theoretical line profiles with observations taken at different viewing angles across the solar disk with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope. We find that 3D modelling well reproduces the observed centre-to-limb behaviour of spectral lines overall, but highlight aspects that may require further work, especially cross-sections for inelastic collisions with electrons. Our inferred solar iron abundance is log(eps(Fe))=7.48+-0.04., Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures, accepted for publication in MNRAS

Abstract

New radiative lifetimes, measured to $\pm$ 5 % accuracy, are reported for 31 even-parity levels of Fe I ranging from 45061 cm$^{-1}$ to 56842 cm$^{-1}$. These lifetimes have been measured using single-step and two-step time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence on a slow atomic beam of iron atoms. Branching fractions have been attempted for all of these levels, and completed for 20 levels. This set of levels represents an extension of the collaborative work reported in Ruffoni et al. (2014). The radiative lifetimes combined with the branching fractions yields new oscillator strengths for 203 lines of Fe I. Utilizing a 1D-LTE model of the solar photosphere, spectral syntheses for a subset of these lines which are unblended in the solar spectrum yields a mean iron abundance of = 7.45 $\pm$ 0.06., Comment: 18 pages, 4 tables, 4 figures.

Abstract

The results of a leading-order QCD analysis of neutrino-induced charm production are presented. They are based on a sample of 4111 $\nu_\mu$ - and 871 $\bar \nu_\mu$ -induced opposite-sign dimuon events with $E_{\mu 1},E_{\mu 2} > 6{\rm GeV}$ , $35 < E_{\nu} < 290{\rm GeV}$ and $Q^2> 5.5\,{\rm GeV^2}$ , observed in the CHARM II detector exposed to the CERN wide band neutrino and antineutrino beams. The analysis yields the value of the charm quark mass $m_c=1.79\pm0.38\,{\rm GeV}/c^2$ and the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cd}|=0.219\pm0.016$ . The strange quark content of the nucleon is found to be suppressed with respect to non-strange sea quarks by a factor $\kappa =0.39\pm0.09$ .

Abstract

A formalism developed previously to study the smaller nuclear spin-dependent parity-violating effects using the relativistic mean field theory has been generalized to the case of odd-odd nuclear systems such as Fr-210. Because of the recent success in trapping Fr atoms, parity-violation experiments for Fr seem feasible. The nuclear spin-dependent parameters eta and eta' are calculated using the anapole moment parameters kappa(p) and kappa(n). They are used to calculate the hyperfine transition amplitudes for the 6S-->7S transition in Cs-134 and 7S -->8S in Fr-210. The calculated hyperfine transition amplitudes in Fr are one order of magnitude larger than those in Cs.

Abstract

An upper limit on the lifetime difference of short- and long-lived $\rm B^0_s$ mesons has been obtained using an inclusive bottom hadron sample from 2 million hadronic Z decays collected by the L3 experiment at LEP. A lifetime fit has been performed on data samples separately enriched in neutral and charged b hadrons. An experimental upper limit on the decay rate difference of short- and long-lived $\rm B^0_s$ mesons of \begin{displaymath} ~~~~ {\rm (|\Delta\Gamma|/\Gamma)_{B^0_s}} < 0.67 ~~~~~~~\mathrm{(95\% \; C.L.)} \end{displaymath} has been determined. In addition, the lifetimes of $\rm B^+$ and $\rm B^0_d$ mesons have been measured to be $\tau(\rm B^+) = 1.66 \pm 0.06 \, \pm 0.03 \; \mathrm{ps}$ and $\tau(\rm B^0_d) = 1.52 \pm 0.06 \, \pm 0.04 \; \mathrm{ps}$, where the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic.

Abstract

Results are reported from the HERMES experiment at HERA on a measurement of the neutron spin structure function g(1)(n)(x, Q(2)) in deep inelastic scattering using 27.5 GeV longitudinally polarized positrons incident on a polarized He-3 internal gas target. The data cover the kinematic range 0.023 < x < 0.6 and 1 (GeV/c)(2) < Q(2) < 15 (GeV/c)(2). The integral integral(0.023)(0.16)g(1)(n)(x) dx evaluated at a fixed Q(2) of 2.5 (GeV/c)(2) is -0.034+/-0.013(stat.)+/-0.005(syst.). Assuming Regge behavior at low x, the first moment Gamma(1)(n) = integral(0)(1)g(1)(n)(x) dx is -0.037+/-0.013(stat.)+/-0.005(syst.)+/-0.006(extrapol.). (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

Rapid changes of the refractive index in the active medium of a pulsed, excimer laser pumped dye laser amplifier were investigated with an optical heterodyne technique. Time-dependent shifts in the phase of optical light waves could be observed which for Coumarin 102, 153 and 307 dyes at wavelengths of 488 and 550 nm depend predominantly on the thermal properties, in particular, on the expansitivity of the dye solutions. A fast Electro-Optic Modulator (EOM) using LiTaO3 crystals has been designed for compensating these phase perturbations. With appropriately shaped voltage pulses applied to the EOM the resulting changes in the instantaneous frequency of the pulsed laser output could be lowered by a factor of 4 with respect to the values measured in the uncompensated light.

Abstract

We report on the measurement of inclusive electron scattering off a carbon target performed with CLAS at Jefferson Laboratory. A combination of three different beam energies 1.161, 2.261 and 4.461 GeV allowed us to reach an invariant mass of the final-state hadronic system W~2.4 GeV with four-momentum transfers Q2 ranging from 0.2 to 5 GeV2. These data, together with previous measurements of the inclusive electron scattering off proton and deuteron, which cover a similar continuous two-dimensional region of Q2 and Bjorken variable x, permit the study of nuclear modifications of the nucleon structure. By using these, as well as other world data, we evaluated the F2 structure function and its moments. Using an OPE-based twist expansion, we studied the Q2-evolution of the moments, obtaining a separation of the leading-twist and the total higher-twist terms. The carbon-to-deuteron ratio of the leading-twist contributions to the F2 moments exhibits the well known EMC effect, compatible with that discovered previously in x-space. The total higher-twist term in the carbon nucleus appears, although with large systematic uncertainites, to be smaller with respect to the deuteron case for n, 37 pages, 15 figures

Abstract

We show that the phase sensitivity $\Delta \theta$ of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer fed by a coherent state in one input port and squeezed-vacuum in the other one is i) independent from the true value of the phase shift and ii) can reach the Heisenberg limit $\Delta \theta \sim 1/N_T$, where $N_T$ is the average number of particles of the input states. We also show that the Cramer-Rao lower bound, $\Delta \theta \propto 1/ \sqrt{|\alpha|^2 e^{2r} + \sinh^2r}$, can be saturated for arbitrary values of the squeezing parameter $r$ and the amplitude of the coherent mode $|\alpha|$ by a Bayesian phase inference protocol., Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures

Abstract

Precise optical properties of metals are very important for accurate prediction of the Casimir force acting between two metallic plates. Therefore we measured ellipsometrically the optical responses of Au films in a wide range of wavelengths from 0.14 mum to 33 mum. The films at various thickness were deposited at different conditions on silicon or mica substrates. Considerable variation of the frequency dependent dielectric function from sample to sample was found. Detailed analysis of the dielectric functions was performed to check the Kramers-Kronig consistency, and extract the Drude parameters of the films. It was found that the plasma frequency varies in the range from 6.8 eV to 8.4 eV. It is suggested that this variation is related with the film density. X-ray reflectivity measurements support qualitatively this conclusion. The Casimir force is evaluated for the dielectric functions corresponding to our samples, and for that typically used in the precise prediction of the force. The force for our films was found to be 5-14% smaller at a distance of 100 nm between the plates. Noise in the optical data is responsible for the force variation within 1%. It is concluded that prediction of the Casimir force between metals with a precision better than 10% must be based on the material optical response measured from visible to mid-infrared range., Comment: 18 pages, 14 figures, accepted for publication in Phys.

Abstract

High-quality spectra of hydrogen-like Ar(17+) have been obtained from Alcator C-Mod tokamak plasmas using a spatially imaging high-resolution x-ray spectrometer system in an extensive study of the underlying high-n satellite lines. The ratio of Ly(alpha 2) (1S(1/2)-2P(1/2)) to Ly(alpha 1) (1S(1/2)-2P(3/2)) was found to be similar to 0.52 regardless of plasma parameters, which is somewhat greater than the ratio of the statistical weights of the upper n = 2 levels, 0.5. This difference is mainly due to the effects of collisional excitation of fine-structure sub-levels. For the observations presented here, electron densities were in an extended range from 3 x 10(19) to 4 x 10(20) m(-3) with electron and ion temperatures between 1 and 4 keV. Experimental results are compared to calculations from COLRAD, a collisional-radiative modelling code, and good agreement is shown., QC 20111003

Abstract

We report on first measurements with polarized electrons stored in a medium-energy ring and with a polarized internal target. Polarized electrons were injected at 442 MeV (653 MeV), and a partial (full) Siberian snake was employed to preserve the polarization. Longitudinal polarization at the interaction point and polarization lifetime of the stored electrons were determined with laser backscattering. Spin observables were measured for electrodisintegration of polarized He-3, with simultaneous detection of scattered electrons, protons, neutrons, deuterons, and He-3 nuclei, over a large phase space.

Abstract

The average bottom-hadron and individual B+, B0, and Bs0 meson lifetimes have been determined using decays with a J/ψ→μ+μ- in the final state. The data sample consists of 110 pb-1 of p̄p collisions at √s =1.8 TeV collected by the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider during 1992-1995. For the average lifetime of B hadrons decaying into J/ψ+X, we obtain =1.533±0.015(stat)-0.031+0.035(syst) ps. For the B+ and B0 meson lifetimes, we determine τ(B+)=1.68±0.07(stat) ±0.02(syst) ps, τ(B0)=1.58 ±0.09(stat) ±0.02(syst) ps, and τ(B+)/τ(B0)=1.06±0.07(stat) ±0.02(syst). For the Bs0 meson lifetime, we find τ(Bs0)=1.34-0.19+0.23(stat) ±0.05(syst) ps.

Abstract

Results are reported from the HERMES experiment at HERA on a measurement of the neutron spin structure function g(1)(n)(x, Q(2)) in deep inelastic scattering using 27.5 GeV longitudinally polarized positrons incident on a polarized He-3 internal gas target. The data cover the kinematic range 0.023 < x < 0.6 and 1 (GeV/c)(2) < Q(2) < 15 (GeV/c)(2). The integral integral(0.023)(0.16)g(1)(n)(x) dx evaluated at a fixed Q(2) of 2.5 (GeV/c)(2) is -0.034+/-0.013(stat.)+/-0.005(syst.). Assuming Regge behavior at low x, the first moment Gamma(1)(n) = integral(0)(1)g(1)(n)(x) dx is -0.037+/-0.013(stat.)+/-0.005(syst.)+/-0.006(extrapol.). (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

The highest-energy measurement of ??L(pp) and the first ever measurement of ??L(p¯p), the differences between proton-proton and antiproton-proton total cross sections for pure longitudinal spin states, are described. Data were taken using 200-GeV/c polarized beams incident on a polarized-proton target. The results are measured to be ??L(pp)=-42±48(stat)±53(syst) ?b and ??L(p¯p)=-256±124(stat)±109(syst) ?b. Many tests of systematic effects were investigated and are described, and a comparison to theoretical predictions is also given. Measurements of parity nonconservation at 200 GeV/c in proton scattering and the first ever of antiproton scattering have also been derived from these data. The values are consistent with zero at the 10-5 level.

Abstract

We present a measurement of the average b-hadron lifetime t at the eqey collider LEP. Using hadronic Z decays b collected in the period from 1991 to 1994, two independent analyses have been performed. In the first one, the b-decay position is reconstructed as a secondary vertex of hadronic b-decay particles. The second analysis is an updated measurement of t using the impact parameter of leptons with high momentum and high transverse momentum. The combined result is τb=[1549±9(stat)±15(syst)]fs. In addition, we measure the average charged b-decay multiplicity 〈nb〉and the normalized average b-energy 〈xE〉b at LEP to be 〈nb〉=4.90±0.04(stat)±0.11(syst),〈xE〉b=0.709±0.004(stat+syst)., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas
