The walker is vertically inserted in a piezoelectric scanner tube (PST) with its brim laying at on the PST end as the inertial slider (driven by the PST) for the XZ (sample plane) motion. The STM is designed to be capable of searching rare microscopic targets (defects, dopants, boundaries, nano-devices, etc.) in a macroscopic sample area (square millimeters) under extreme conditions (low temperatures, strong magnetic elds, etc.) in which it ts. It gives good atomic resolution images after scanning a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite sample in air at room temperature.展开更多

First, using pp collision data collected by the DO and CDF II detectors, we find that the LRTH Z' boson is excluded with masses below 940 GeV. Then we search for signatures of the Z' boson at the LHC from the analysis of some distributions for pp --* It+g- + X, such as the number of events, the differential cross section of the dimuon invariant mass, the distributions of the transverse momentum and the forward-backward charge asymmetry. We do our calculation for two typical values of the LHC center of mass energy (7 and 14 TeV). The numerical results show that, by applying convenient cuts on some of the observables, the dimuon invariant mass and final particle PT distributions can reveal the presence of the heavy neutral gauge boson Z' contribution in the LRTH model.展开更多
