We present evidence for energetic charged particles emanating from partiallydeuterided titanium foils (TiDx) subjected to non-equilibrium conditions. To scrutinize emerging evidence for low-temperature nuclear reactions, we investigated particle yields employing three independent types of highly-sensitive, segmented particle detectors over a six-year period. One experiment measuring neutron emi...

The Diierential Algebraic Methods, a natural tool for the description and determination of the solution of diierential equations, have proven useful for the computation of aberrations of any desired order in any particle optical system. Besides conventional symplectic systems based on strongly or weakly focusing elements including fringe elds, they also readily allow the treatment of spin dynam...

It is found that a charged particle can get a net energy gain from the interaction with an chir@. pulse. Theoretically, the energy gain increases with the pulse amplitude and with the relative frequency variation in the pulse. which is equal to the wake phase velocity, changes. This can take place. for example, in a non-uniform plasma. Below we consider the interaction of a charged particle (he...

The Charged Particle Lunar Environment Experiment (CPLEE), a part of the Apollo 14ALSEP, is an ion-electron spectrometer capable of measuring ions and electrons with energies between40 eV and 50 keY. The instrument, with apertures 26 em above the surface, has detected a photo-electron gas layer above the sunlit lunar surface, with energies ranging up to 200 eV. Experimentaldata ...

We derive effective equations of motion for a massless charged particle coupled to the dynamical electromagnetic field having regard to the radiation back reaction. It is shown that unlike the massive case not all the divergences resulting from the self-action of the particle are Lagrangian, i.e. can be canceled out by adding appropriate counterterms to the original action. Besides, the order o...

A key feature of the ALICE experiment will be the capability to identify the charged particles in the full range of momentum thus allowing to investigate the properties of the quark-gluon plasma during its dynamical evolution toward the freeze-out phase when the re-hadronization occurs. Low momentum hadron identification will be achieved via measurements of energy loss in the silicon layers of ...

Turbulence with an associated turbulent magnetic field is common in astrophysical environments. The determination of the transport of charged particles both parallel and perpendicular to the mean magnetic field is of considerable interest. Quasi-linear analysis or direct numerical simulation can be used to find the effects of the turbulent magnetic field on the transport of charged particles. A...

The sudden deflection of an electron by the Coulomb field of nuclei can cause the electron to radiate, producing a continuous spectrum of x-rays called bremsstrahlung. The fraction of electron energy converted into bremsstrahlung increases with increasing electron energy and is greater for media of high atomic number. (This process is important in the production of x-rays in conventional x-ray ...
