Timescale Analysis of Spectral Lags

A technique for timescale analysis of spectral lags performed directly in the time domain is developed. Simulation studies are made to compare the time domain technique with the Fourier frequency analysis for spectral time lags. The time domain technique is applied to studying rapid variabilities of X-ray binaries and γ-ray bursts. The results indicate that in comparison with the Fourier analysis the timescale analysis technique is more powerful for the study of spectral lags in rapid variabilities on short time scales and short duration flaring phenomena.

Dynamically Running Mass of Light Quark and QCD Vacuum Condensates

Based on Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs) in "rainbow" approximation, the dynamically running mass of light quark and QCD vacuum condensate are investigated. The structure of non-local quark vacuum condensate, the values of local vacuum condensate of quarks and quark-gluon mixture, and dynamical transition of quark mass from current quark to constituent quark are illustrated. At the same time, according to the knowledge and experience learned from an extensive study of the solutions of DSEs, a parameterized form of confining quark propagator is suggested for a practical use. The new parameterized form of quark propagator is analytic everywhere in the finite complex p2-plane and has no Lehmann representation. The predictions for p2-dependence of effective quark masses, Mf(p2), defined by the self-energy functions Af(p2) and Bf(p2), both from the numerical solutions of DSEs and from its parameterized form, are shown dynamically. Our conclusion is that all numerical results are consistent with empirical values used in QCD sum rules and lattice QCD calculations. For a qualitative study, the parameterized form is a sufficiently good approximation to confining quark propagator.

Nondestructive X-ray imaging of inner structure of soft tissues in phase contrast

An experimental study on nondestructive X-ray imaging of inner structure of soft tissues in phase con-trast has been conducted with Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF). Modification to the beamline setupwas made to enlarge the X-ray beam section and consequently larger samples could be imaged. In-line setup was em-ployed for experiments. Results on a series of samples were given and soft-tissue details of less than 50 μm inside afresh goldfish were obtained. Diagnosis of tumor in its early stage was also investigated taking SD rats as the model.Tumor at the size of ～ 100μm was observed. Potential of this technique in clinic diagnosis was discussed.

Electron spectroscopies and their use for materials characterization

We present here a general overview of electron spectroscopies from a practical point of view. The most frequently used ones are described and the type of structural information they can provide on materials is explained in relation to the physical processes on which they are based. Furthermore, we explore critically and in detail various tools that have been developed to allow a systematic solving of structures by these spectroscopies.

Design of the SSRF storage ring magnet lattice

The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is a proposed 3rd generation light source with 3.5 GeV in energy. It is composed of 20 DBA cells resulting in a ring that is about 10 nm(rad in emittance and 396 m in circumference, and provides 10 straight sections of 7.24 m and other 10 straight sections of 5.0 m for the inclusion of insertion devices, injection components and RF cavities. The lattice has high flexibility, and the tunes and beta functions can be easily adjusted within a wide range to meet the requirements for different operation modes, including high beta mode and hybrid beta mode with and/or without dispersion in straight sections. In this paper, the results of linear optics design and dynamic aperture study are presented.

Uranium Series Chronology of the Late Pleistocene Basalt from the Longgang Volcanoes, Jilin Province

The Longgang volcanic cluster located in Jilin Province belongs to one of the active volcanic regions in northeast China, and has been active in modern times. In view of the multiple eruptions in history, it is very important to determine the age of each eruption for evaluating the volcanic hazards. Two alkaline basalt samples taken from Dayizishan and Diaoshuihu were analyzed with the U-series component dating after magnetic separation. The ages of the two samples are (71±9) ka and (106±13) ka B.P., respectively. These data indicate that there existed intensive eruption activities during the late Pleistocene.

Study of orbit stability in the SSRF storage ring

In this paper, analysis of the beam orbit stability and conceptual study of the dynamic orbit feedback inthe SSRF storage ring are presented. It is shown that beam orbit position movement at the photon source points issmaller than the orbit stability requirements in horizontal plane, but exceeds the orbit stability requirements in verticalplane. A dynamic global orbit feedback system, which consists of 38 high-bandwidth air-coil correctors and 40high-precise BPMs, is proposed to suppress the vertical beam orbit position movement. Numerical simulations showthat this dynamic orbit feedback system can stabilize the vertical beam orbit position movement in the frequencyrange up to 100 Hz.

The multiple-scattering (MS) theory is presented in detail with some applications on real systems. We also describe recent progress in performing geometrical fitting of the XANES (X-ray absorption near-edge structure) energy region and beyond using a full multiple-scattering approach.

Gravitational Shielding Effect in Gauge Theory of Gravity

In 1992,E.E.Podkletnov and R.Nieminen found that under certain conditions,ceramic superconductor with composite structure reveals weak shielding properties against gravitational force.In classical Newton's theory of gravity and even in Einstein's general theory of gravity,there are no grounds of gravitational shielding effects.But in quantum gauge theory of gravity,the gravitational shielding effects can be explained in a simple and natural way.In quantum gauge theory of gravity,gravitational gauge interactions of complex scalar field can be formulated based on gauge principle.After spontaneous symmetry breaking,if the vacuum of the complex scalar field is not stable and uniform,there will be a mass term of gravitational gauge field.When gravitational gauge field propagates in this unstable vacuum of the complex scalar field,it will decays exponentially,which is the nature of gravitational shielding effects.The mechanism of gravitational shielding effects is studied in this paper,and some main properties of gravitational shielding effects are discussed.

Unified Theory of Fundamental Interactions

Based on local gauge invariance, four different kinds of fundamental interactions in nature are unified in a theory which has Gravitational Gauge Group gauge symmetry. In this approach, gravitational field, like electromagnetic field, intermediate gauge field, and gluon field, is represented by gauge potential. Four kinds of fundamental interactions are formulated in the similar manner, and therefore can be unified in a direct or semi-direct product group. The model discussed in this paper is a renormalizable quantum model and can be regarded as an extension of the standard model to gravitational interactions, so it can be used to study quantum effects of gravitational interactions.

Vector Meson Electro-production in Pomeron Exchange Model

Based on Pomeron exchange model, elastic production of vector meson in electro-proton interaction is investigated with both linear and non-linear Pomeron trajectory. A numerical calculation for J/psi production is performed. The effect of the energy scale so and photon virtuality Q(2) on differential cross section are also predicted. A good agreement with experimental data is obtained. Our conclusions are that the Pomeron exchange model is a successful description of J/psi electro-production, the dependence of the differential cross sections on Q2 is negligible, the linear trajectory is a good approximation to non-linearity of the Pomeron trajectory, and the value of the energy scale parameter so is dependent on the momentum transfer, namely its effect is moderate at low momentum transfer but it causes no difference at high momentum transfer vertical bar t vertical bar >= 1.25 GeV2.

Influence of Interactions on Populations for Hyperons in Neutron Stars

The numerical results of the populations for the baryon octet in neutron star matter have been presented by solving a set transcendental equations in the framework of the relativistic mean field approximation. The influence of the hyperon interactions on hyperon populations in neutron star matter is discussed. The results manifest that when the ratio of the hyperon-to-nucleon couplings increases, all hyperons appear towards low baryon density direction.

Determination of interface layer thickness of a pseudo two—phase system by extension of the Debye equation

The Debye equation with slit-smeared small angle x-ray scattering(SAXS) data is extended form an ideal two-phase system to a pseudo two-phase system with the presence of the interface layer,and a simple accurate solution is proposed to determine the average thickness of the interface layer in porous materials.This method is tested by experimental SAXS data,which were measured at 25℃,of organo-modified mesoporous silica prepared by condensation of tetraethoxysiland(TEOS) and methyltriethoxysilane(MTES) using non-ionic neutral surfactant as template under neutral condition.

Cerium oxide nanoparticles coated by surfactant sodium bis（2—ethylhexyl） sulphosuccinate（AOT）：local atomic structures and x—ray absorption spectroscopic studies

Cerium oxide nanoparticles coated by sodium bis(2-ethylexyl) sulphosuccinate(AOT) were prepared by using a microemulsion method.Transmission electron microscopy revealed an average particle siae of 2-3nm.X-ray diffraction showed that the cerium oxide nanoparticles retain the CeF2-type cubic structures like the bulk crystal.The intermediate valence offormally tetravalent compounds had been detected by x-ray-absorption near-edge structetravalent compounds had been detected by x-ray-absorption near-dege structure(XANES) spectra of Ce LIII absorption in bulk CeO2 and the cerium oxide nanoparticles.Two well resoved white lines can be assigned to the electron configurations of 4f^0L and 4f^1L,respectively,where L denotes a ligand hole.At the same time,the cerium oxide nanoparticles also showed the structural featres of trivalent compounds,in comparison to the trivalent Ce(NO3)3·6H2O.Fuor Lorentzian functions and two arctan functions were used to fit the normalized XANES spectra.The extended x-ray-absorption fine-structure(EXAFS) technique was used to probe the local atomic structures around the absorber Ce.The multielectrorn excitation effect on the EXAFS spectra was eliminated.A cor-shell model was used to deduce the near-neighbour structural parameters around cerium.Bulk CeO2 with eight oxygen atoms located at 2.343A was used as the reference sample to extract the backscattering amplitude and phase shift of the Ce-O bond.One half of the atome locate at the core part with the CeF2-type cubic structures(eight oxyens at 2.343A around Ce),the other half of the atoms are amorphous phase located in the shell part (surface of the nanoparticles) with approximately Ce2O3 structural features (averageed seven oxygens at 2.50A around Ce).

High pressure effects on the luminescent properties and crystal structure of magnesium 8—hydroxyquinoline complex

The fluorescence emission and X-ray diffraction of magenesium 8-hydroxyquinoline complex(Mgq2) have been measured at high pressure up to 14 GPa.It has been found that pressure can influence the emission dramatically.At relative lower pressure(less than 2.5GPa) the fluorescence of Mgq2 changes slightly,but the emission drops quickly with increase of the pressure when the pressure gets higher than 2.5GPa.The results of in situ energy dispersive X-ray diffraction at high pressure with synchrotron radiation indicate that there is a phase transition at about 2.5-3GPa for Mgq2 crystal.2001 Elsevier Science B.V.All rights reserved.

Explicit Confinement Effect on the Helicity Amplitudes of the Low-Lying Nucleon Resonances

Calculations of helicity amplitudes for the low-lying nucleon resonances are displayed based on a non-relativistic constituent quark model with a harmonic oscillator confinement. The explicit effect of quark confinement is shown. Our results show that the effect plays sizable role on some transition amplitudes of S11 (1535) and D13(1520) resonances. The effect on the △(1232) transition amplitudes is less than 10%. However, the effect on the Roper resonance is remarkable but is inconclusive.

Application of nuclear analytical techniques to trace elements in Cenozoic basalt and their mantle xenoliths from Aershan area in Inner Mongolia,China

Basaltic samples from different locations in Aershan area determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) have the same distribution patterns of REE and trace elements. The similar REE contents of the same minerals without inclusions from different xenolith suggest that the mantle source region under different active volcanoes have the same composition. The REE content differences between the same minerals with and without melt inclusions selected from the same mantle xenolith indicate that the melt inclusions are rich in REE. The same patterns of trace elements of inclusions and host minerals from different xenolith analyzed by SRXRF suggest that the mantle fluid has no notable heterogeneity in Aershan area.
