چکیده

We describe a possible search for muonic radioactivity from lead nuclei using the base elements (“bricks” composed by lead and nuclear emulsion sheets) of the long-baseline OPERA neutrino experiment. We present the results of a Monte Carlo simulation concerning the expected event topologies and estimates of the background events. Using few bricks, we could reach a good sensitivity level.

Spontaneous Emission Spectrum from a Driven Three-Level Atom in a Double-Band Photonic Crystal

Abstract The spontaneous emission spectrum from a driven three-level atom placed inside a double-band photonic crystal has been investigated. We use the model which assumes the upper levels of the atomic transition are coupled via a classical driving field. The transition from one of the upper levels to lower level couples to the modes of the modified reservoir, and the transition from the oth...

Muon capture on nuclei with NÌZ , random phase approximation, and in-medium value of the axial-vector coupling constant

We use the random phase approximation to describe the muon capture rate on Ca, Ca, Fe, Zr, and Pb. With Ca as a test case, we show that the continuum random phase approximation ~CRPA! and the standard RPA give essentially equivalent descriptions of the muon capture process. Using the standard RPA with the free nucleon weak form factors we reproduce the experimental total capture rates on these ...

Current underground detectors can search for multiple muons from multi-W(Z) production initiated by ultrahigh energy neutrinos from active galactic nuclei. O(µb) cross sections give rise to downward going muon bundles whose features differ from those of atmospheric muon bundles.

The A dependence of the nuclear structure function ratios

Results are presented for six nuclei from Be to Pb on the structure function ratios F~' / l f f2(x) and their A dependence in deep inelastic muon scattering at 200 GeV incident muon energy. The data cover the kinematic range 0.01 <: x < 0.8 with Q2 ranging from 2 to 70 GeV 2. The A dependence of nuclear structure function ratios is parametrised and compared to various models.

Characteristics of Dual Amplified Spontaneous Emission from MEH-PPV Solutions

We report the observations of dual wavelength amplified spontaneous emission from the solutions of a conjugated polymer poly [2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1, 4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) in Tetrahydrofuran and 1, 2 Dichlorobenzene. We have prepared MEH-PPV using a modified procedure and purified several times in each step, the material offers low molecular weight, low polydispersity index an...
