Passive Landau cavities have been built, installed and taken into regular operation in the MAX II ring. The purpose of the Landau damping system is twofold: to decrease the energy spread of the beam induced by coupled bunch oscillations and to increase the Touschek life-time. The cavities are of the pillbox type operated at 1500 MHz, the third harmonic of the main RF. This paper describes the d...

SN~2018aoz is a Type Ia SN with $B$-band plateau and excess emission in the infant-phase light curves $\lesssim$ 1 day after first light, evidencing an over-density of surface iron-peak elements as shown our previous study. Here, we advance constraints on nature origin based its evolution until nebular phase. Near-peak spectroscopic features show intermediate between two subtypes normal Ia: Cor...

We study the cooling of superfluid neutron stars whose cores consist of nucleon matter with the Akmal–Pandharipande–Ravenhall (APR) equation of state. This equation of state opens the powerful direct Urca process of neutrino emission in the interior of most massive neutron stars. Extending our previous recent studies (Papers I and II), we employ phenomenological density-dependent critical tempe...

The rational design and synthesis of CdSe/CdTe/ZnTe (core-shell-shell) type-II quantum dots are reported. Their photophysical properties are investigated via the interband CdSe-->ZnTe emission and its associated relaxation dynamics. In comparison to the strong CdSe (core only) emission (lambda(max) approximately 550 nm, Phi(f) approximately 0.28), a moderate CdSe-->CdTe emission (lambda(max) ap...

We provide a different axiomatization of the core interpreted as a reasonable set (Milnor, 1952) and introduce a new property, called max-intersection, related with the vector lattice structure of cooperative games with transferable utility. In particular, it is shown that the core is the only solution satisfying projection consistency, reasonability, max-intersection and modularity.

The max-algebraic core of a nonnegative matrix is the intersection of column spans of all max-algebraic matrix powers. This paper investigates the action of a matrix on its core. Being closely related to ultimate periodicity of matrix powers, this study leads to new modifications and geometric characterizations of robust, orbit periodic and weakly stable matrices.
