Parallel heat flux in a steady-state SOL is determined via fully kinetic simulations using the 1d3v particle-in-cell code PARASOL. In order to better evaluate the heat load on the divertor plates, the ion and electron velocity distributions functions (VDF), heat flux, and heat flux limiters αi and αe are calculated. The effects of collisionality, recycling rate, ion-electron mass ratio, and sou...

The Casimir scaling phenomena of the nonperturbative force is viewed in terms of the hadronic flux tube as described by the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory, the dual superconducting scenario of confinement. The ratios of the string tension of flux tube between higher and fundamental SU(3) representations, dD ≡ σD/σD=3, are systematically studied in a Weyl symmetric formulation of the DGL theo...

We present deep Hα imaging of three nearby dwarf galaxies, carefully selected to optimize observations with the Maryland-Magellan Tunable Filter (MMTF) on the Magellan 6.5m telescope. An effective bandpass of ∼13Å is used, and the images reach 3σ flux limits of ∼8×10−18 ergs s−1 cm−2, which is about an order of magnitude lower than standard narrowband observations obtained by the most recent ge...

We present UV imaging polarimetry data of the Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk 3 taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The polarized flux is found to be extended to ∼ 1 kpc from the nucleus, and the position angles of polarization are centrosymmetric, confirming that the polarization is caused by scattering. We determine the location of the hidden nucleus as the center of this centrosymmetric pattern. From ...

We investigate the hyperbolicity of the 5, 8, 10, 13 and 16moment Grad systems for two species of particles under the quasineutrality hypothesis. The analysis is based on an asymptotic expansion with respect to the mass ratio. We show that the hyperbolicity of the systems which involve the heat flux as an independent variable requires a limitation on this heat flux.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the performance of film cooling injection from a row of circular holes spaced laterally across a flat plate. A highresolution PIV system was used to conduct flow field measurements to reveal the tendencies of the coolant stream to remain attached to the test plate or to separate from it, and a Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) technique was used t...

Molecular dynamics simulations using a recently developed Ga-N Tersoff type bond order interatomic potential have been used to investigate the growth mechanisms of 0001 wurtzite GaN films from thermalized atomic gallium and nitrogen fluxes. The crystallinity and stoichiometry of the deposited wurtzite lattice structures were determined as a function of growth temperature and N:Ga flux ratio. Th...

A precision measurement by AMS of the antiproton flux and the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio in primary cosmic rays in the absolute rigidity range from 1 to 450 GV is presented based on 3.49×10^{5} antiproton events and 2.42×10^{9} proton events. The fluxes and flux ratios of charged elementary particles in cosmic rays are also presented. In the absolute rigidity range ∼60 to ∼500  GV, the ant...

The CITATION code based on neutron diffusion theory is used for flux calculation inside voluminous sample in prompt gamma activation analysis with an isotopic neutron source (241Am–Be). The code used the specific parameters related to energy spectrum source, irradiation system materials (shielding, reflector, etc.), geometry and elemental composition of the sample. The flux distribution (therma...
