Hard QCD processes in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions become increasingly relevant and they can be used as probes of the dense matter formed during the violent scatterings. We will discuss how one can use these hard probes to study the properties of the dense matter and the associated phenomenologies. In particular, we study the effect of jet quenching due to medium-induced energy loss o...

The end effect in a bunched beam is caused by the space-charge forces, which accelerate particles at the bunch head and decelerate particles at the bunch tail. It occurs in high-current linear accelerators and rings [1]. In the University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) project [2,3,4], the energy of particles at the very ends of a rectangular bunch is 15% different from that of the main part ...

A condition for sheath instability due to secondary electron emission (SEE) is derived for low collisionality plasmas. When the SEE coefficient of the electrons bordering the depleted loss cone in energy space exceeds unity, the sheath potential is unstable to a negative perturbation. This result explains three different instability phenomena observed in Hall thruster simulations including a ne...

Numerous industries involve impact crushing of raw material in their processes. Crushing is performed by interaction between raw material witch size is reduced during this process and equipment or parts that crush. Some of the biggest and most important clients of crushing and milling equipment are industries like cement plants, mines, open pits, coal fired thermal plants, recycling and shreddi...

in this paper, a rectangular sandwich plate with a constrained layer and an electrorheological (er) fluid core is investigated. the rectangular plate is covered an er fluid core and a constraining layer to improve the stability of the system. the two outer layers of the sandwich structure are elastic. the viscoelastic materials express the middle layer behavior under electric field and small st...

CMC polymer is used as an additive to decrease water loss and mud-cake-thickness in mud drilling. In this study, the effect of CMC and CMC nanoparticles on water loss and mud-cake-thickness in mud drilling is investigated. CMC nanoparticles are made by using of ball milling and their size is measured by Particle size analyzer. CMC and CMC nanoparticles which were prepared by Hamilton batch mixe...

The signals of the HADES drift chambers [1] are readout and digitized by means of dedicated, customized boards. The sense wires are connected to the analog boards [2], housing ASD8 chips [3] for differential amplification, shaping and discrimination. These chips deliver logical signals with variable width, equivalent to the time the shaped signal exceeds the given threshold. From the width of t...

This research is aimed to undertake a comparative study on stability and thermal degradation kinetics of un-irradiated and high energy protons irradiated polyvinyl butyral (PVB) based on weight loss analysis and non-isothermal approaches. The weight loss by the un-irradiated PVB upon heating was found to be in two stages but due to high energy protons accelerated exposure following by chemical ...

zns  nanoparticles  were  synthesized  via  a  simple  surfactant  free microwave  route.  in  this  synthesis, thioacetamide  was  used  as sulfur  source.  the effects  of different  parameters  such  as  type of zinc precursor,  time  and  power  of  irradiation  on  the  morphology and  particle  size  of  the  products  have been  investigated.  the nanostructures  were  characterized  by ...
