Unstable periodic orbits analysis in the Qi system

We use the variational method to extract the short periodic orbits of the Qi system within a certain topological length.The chaotic dynamical behaviors of the Qi system with five equilibria are analyzed by the means of phase portraits,Lyapunov exponents,and Poincarémaps.Based on several periodic orbits with different sizes and shapes,they are encoded systematically with two letters or four letters for two different sets of parameters.The periodic orbits outside the attractor with complex topology are discovered by accident.In addition,the bifurcations of cycles and the bifurcations of equilibria in the Qi system are explored by different methods respectively.In this process,the rule of orbital period changing with parameters is also investigated.The calculation and classification method of periodic orbits in this study can be widely used in other similar low-dimensional dissipative systems.

Research on convergence of the nuclear matrix elements for 2νββ decays

In this work,the characteristics of 2νββ decays for six nuclei(36Ar,46Ca,48Ca,50Cr,70Zn,and 136Xe)in a mass range from A=36 to A=136 are studied within the nuclear shell model(NSM)framework.Calculations are presented for the half-lives,nuclear matrix elements(NMEs),phase space factors(G2ν),and convergence of the NMEs.The theoretical results agree well with the experimental data.In addition,we predict the half-lives of 2νββ decays for four nuclei.We focus on the convergence of the NMEs by analyzing the number of contributing intermediate 1+states(NC)for the nuclei of interest.We assume that NC is safely determined when the accumulated NMEs saturate 99.7%of the final calculated magnitude.From the calculations of the involved nuclei,we discover a connection between NC and the total number of intermediate 1+states(NT).According to the least squares fit,we conclude that the correlation is NC=(10.8±1.2)×N(0.29±0.02)T.
