ALICE is the dedicated heavy-ion experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. After a two-year long shutdown, the LHC restarted its physics programme in June 2015 with proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV and Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV, the highest centre-of-mass energy ever reached in laboratory. Recent results and future perspective for ALICE will be presented.
This work derived the value of α-induced production cross sections of 77Kr and 77Br at α-energies of 12 MeV and 14 MeV, the thick target yields of 77Kr and 77Br at α-energies of 11.19 MeV, 13 MeV and 15.1 MeV and the thick target yield of 80Br as well as 80mBr at an α-energy of 15.1 MeV using the activation technique...
The production of 77,79,85,85mKr and 77Br via the reaction Se(a, x) was investigated between Ea = 11 and 15 MeV using the activation technique. The irradiation of natural selenium targets on aluminum backings was conducted at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Braunschweig, Germany. The spectroscopic analysis of the reaction products was performed using a high-purity germanium detector located at PTB and a low energy photon spectrometer detector at the Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany. Thicktarget yields were determined. The corresponding energy-dependent production cross sections of 77,79,85,85mKr and 77Br were calculated from the thicktarget yields. Good agreement between experimental data and theoretical predictions using the TALYS-1.6 code was found.
The PANDA experiment will be one of the flagship experiments at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany. It is a versatile detector dedicated to topics in hadron physics such as charmonium spectroscopy and nucleon structure. A DIRC counter will deliver hadronic particle identification in the barrel part of the PANDA target spectrometer and will cleanly separate kaons with momenta up to 3.5 GeV/c from a large pion background. An alternative DIRC design option, using wide Cherenkov radiator plates instead of narrow bars, would significantly reduce the cost of the system. Compact fused silica photon prisms have many advantages over the traditional stand-off boxes filled with liquid. This work describes the study of these design options, which are important advancements of the DIRC technology in terms of cost and performance. Several new reconstruction methods were developed and will be presented. Prototypes of the DIRC components have been built and tested in particle beam, and the new concepts and approaches were applied. An evaluation of the performance of the designs, feasibility studies with simulations, and a comparison of simulation and prototype tests will be presented.
The thermal fit to preliminary HADES data of Au+Au collisions at sNN=2.4 GeV shows two degenerate solutions at T≈50 MeV and T≈70 MeV. The analysis of the same particle yields in a transport simulation of the UrQMD model yields the same features, i.e. two distinct temperatures for the chemical freeze-out. While both solutions yield the same number of hadrons after resonance decays, the feeddown contribution is very different for both cases. This highlights that two systems with different chemical composition can yield the same multiplicities after resonance decays. The nature of these two minima is further investigated by studying the time-dependent particle yields and extracted thermodynamic properties of the UrQMD model. It is confirmed, that the evolution of the high temperature solution resembles cooling and expansion of a hot and dense fireball. The low temperature solution displays an unphysical evolution: heating and compression of matter with a decrease of entropy. These results imply that the thermal model analysis of systems produced in low energy nuclear collisions is ambiguous but can be interpreted by taking also the time evolution and resonance contributions into account.
Bei der UV-Bestrahlung (2537 Å) des Zn-Insulins beobachtet man für kleinere Dosen (bis 10 Einstein/Mol) eine direkte Korrelation zwischen der Inaktivierung und der Photoreduktion einer der drei Disulfidbrücken. Mit steigender Dosis wird die Quantenausbeute für die Reduktion der Disulfidbrücken (Bildung von SH-Gruppen) sehr klein, dagegen führen dann andere Prozesse zunehmend zur photochemischen Zerstörung der Disulfidbrücken. Für größere Strahlendosen (über 100 Einstein/Mol) ergibt die Extrapolation, daß für die völlige Inaktivierung des Insulins sämtliche drei Cystinreste zerstört werden müssen. Von den übrigen Aminosäuren wird durch Dosen um 100 Einstein/Mol nur der Tyrosin-Anteil signifikant vermindert. Mit steigender Strahlendosis ändert sich — wahrscheinlich infolge von Konformationsänderungen der Polypeptidketten — die Photosensibilität der Aminosäuren.

Since the last 20 years, modern heuristic algorithms and machine learning have been increasingly used for several purposes in accelerator technology and physics. Since computing power has become less and less of a limiting factor, these tools have become part of the physicist community's standard toolkit [1][2] [3] [4] [5]. This paper describes the construction of an algorithm that can be used to generate an optimised lattice design for transfer lines under the consideration of restrictions that usually limit design options in reality. The developed algorithm has been applied to the existing SIS18 to HADES transfer line in GSI.
The new heavy ion superconducting continuous wave HElmholtz LInear ACcelerator (HELIAC) is under construction at GSI. A normal conducting injector, comprising an ECR ion source, an RFQ and a DTL, is recently in development. The new Interdigital H-mode DTL, presented in this paper, accelerates the heavy ion beam from 300 to 1400 keV/u, applying an Alternating Phase Focusing (APF) beam dynamics scheme. This APF section, consisting of two separately controlled tanks, has to provide for stable routine operation with assistance of dedicated beam diagnostics devices in the Intertank section. The installed quadrupole lenses and beam steerers installed there ensure full transmission in a wide range of input beam parameters.
An empirical study of the per capita yield of science Nobel prizes : is the US era coming to an end?
(2018)
We point out that the Nobel prize production of the USA, the UK, Germany and France has been in numbers that are large enough to allow for a reliable analysis of the long-term historical developments. Nobel prizes are often split, such that up to three awardees receive a corresponding fractional prize. The historical trends for the fractional number of Nobelists per population are surprisingly robust, indicating in particular that the maximum Nobel productivity peaked in the 1970s for the USA and around 1900 for both France and Germany. The yearly success rates of these three countries are to date of the order of 0.2–0.3 physics, chemistry and medicine laureates per 100 million inhabitants, with the US value being a factor of 2.4 down from the maximum attained in the 1970s. The UK in contrast managed to retain during most of the last century a rate of 0.9–1.0 science Nobel prizes per year and per 100 million inhabitants. For the USA, one finds that the entire history of science Noble prizes is described on a per capita basis to an astonishing accuracy by a single large productivity boost decaying at a continuously accelerating rate since its peak in 1972.
A novel method for identifying the nature of QCD transitions in heavy-ion collision experiments is introduced. PointNet based Deep Learning (DL) models are developed to classify the equation of state (EoS) that drives the hydrodynamic evolution of the system created in Au-Au collisions at 10 AGeV. The DL models were trained and evaluated in different hypothetical experimental situations. A decreased performance is observed when more realistic experimental effects (acceptance cuts and decreased resolutions) are taken into account. It is shown that the performance can be improved by combining multiple events to make predictions. The PointNet based models trained on the reconstructed tracks of charged particles from the CBM detector simulation discriminate a crossover transition from a first order phase transition with an accuracy of up to 99.8%. The models were subjected to several tests to evaluate the dependence of its performance on the centrality of the collisions and physical parameters of fluid dynamic simulations. The models are shown to work in a broad range of centralities (b=0–7 fm). However, the performance is found to improve for central collisions (b=0–3 fm). There is a drop in the performance when the model parameters lead to reduced duration of the fluid dynamic evolution or when less fraction of the medium undergoes the transition. These effects are due to the limitations of the underlying physics and the DL models are shown to be superior in its discrimination performance in comparison to conventional mean observables.
A primordial state of matter consisting of free quarks and gluons that existed in the early universe a few microseconds after the Big Bang is also expected to form in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Determining the equation of state (EoS) of such a primordial matter is the ultimate goal of high-energy heavy-ion experiments. Here we use supervised learning with a deep convolutional neural network to identify the EoS employed in the relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of heavy ion collisions. High-level correlations of particle spectra in transverse momentum and azimuthal angle learned by the network act as an effective EoS-meter in deciphering the nature of the phase transition in quantum chromodynamics. Such EoS-meter is model-independent and insensitive to other simulation inputs including the initial conditions for hydrodynamic simulations.
We estimate the production rate of photons by the quark-gluon plasma in lattice QCD. We propose a new correlation function which provides better control over the systematic uncertainty in estimating the photon production rate at photon momenta in the range πT/2 to 2πT. The relevant Euclidean vector current correlation functions are computed with Nf = 2 Wilson clover fermions in the chirally-symmetric phase. In order to estimate the photon rate, an ill-posed problem for the vector-channel spectral function must be regularized. We use both a direct model for the spectral function and a modelindependent estimate from the Backus-Gilbert method to give an estimate for the photon rate.
This thesis presents the implementation of the online reconstruction, calibration and monitoring of the data of the Transition Radiation Detector of ALICE. This reconstruction is performed on the High Level Trigger, the third level of the ALICE trigger system, and enables online calibration and monitoring of the incoming data. Additionally, the HLT can steer the data storage, such that only physical interesting events are saved. The online reconstruction, as well as the calibration, makes use of the existing offline algorithms. Therefore, interfaces between the HLT and these offline algorithms were implemented. For being able to reach the speed of 2000 Hz in proton-proton collisions, and 200 Hz in leadlead collisions, the algorithms had to be accelerated. Bottlenecks were tracked down using dedicated tools, and respective code was either reimplemented or it is being skipped during the online reconstruction. The quality of the output data was monitored throughout the implementation, to assure that it is not being cut too much.
Relying on the existing estimates for the production cross sections of mini black holes in models with large extra dimensions, we review strategies for identifying those objects at collider experiments. We further consider a possible stable final state of such black holes and discuss their characteristic signatures. Keywords: Black holes
An investigation of photoelectron angular distributions and circular dichroism of chiral molecules
(2021)
The present work demonstrates the capability of several type of molecular frame photoelectron angular distributions (MFPADs) and their linked chiroptical phenomenon the photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) to map in great detail the molecular geometry of polyatomic chiral molecules as a function of photoelectron energy. To investigate the influence of the molecular potential on the MFPADs, two chiral molecules were selected, namely 2-(methyl)oxirane (C3H6O, MOx, m = 58,08 uma) and 2-(trifluoromethyl)oxirane (C3H3F3O, TFMOx, m = 112,03 uma). The two molecules differs in one substitutional group and share an oxirane group where the O(1s) electron was directly photoionized with the use of synchrotron radiation in the soft X-ray regime. The direct photoionization of the K-shell electron is well localized in the molecule and it induces the ejection of two or more electrons; the excited system separates into several charged (and eventually neutral) fragments which undergo Coulomb explosion due to their charges. The electrons and the fragments were detected using the COLd Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectroscopy (COLTRIMS) and the momentum vectors calculated for each fragment belonging from a single ionization. The former method gives the possibility to post-orient molecules in space, giving access to the molecular frame, thus the MFPAD and its related PECD for multiple light propagation direction.
Stereochemistry (from the Greek στερεο- stereo- meaning solid) refers to chemistry in three dimensions. Since most molecules show a three-dimensional structure (3D), stereochemistry pervades all fields of chemistry and biology, and it is an essential point of view for the understanding of chemical structure, molecular dynamics and molecular reactions. The understanding of the chemistry of life is tightly bounded with major discoveries in stereochemistry, which triggered tremendous technical advancements, making it a flourishing field of research since its revolutionary introduction in late 18th century. In chemistry, chirality is a brunch of stereochemistry which focuses on objects with the peculiar geometrical property of not being superimposable to their mirror-images. The word chirality is derived from the Greek χειρ for “hand”, and the first use of this term in chemistry is usually attributed to Lord Kelvin who called during a lecture at the Oxford University Junior Scientific Club in 1893 “any geometrical figure, or group of points, “chiral”, and say that it has chirality if its image in a plane mirror, ideally realized, cannot be brought to coincide with itself.”. Although the latter is usually considered as the birth of the word chirality, the concept underlying it was already present in several fields of science (above all mathematics), already proving the already multidisciplinary relevance of chirality across many field of science and beyond. Nature shows great examples of chiral symmetry on all scales. Empirically, it is possible to observe it at macroscopic scale (e.g. distribution of rotations of galaxies), down to the microscopic scale (e.g. structure of some plankton species), but it is at the molecular level where the number gets remarkable: most of the pharmaceutical drugs, food fragrances, pheromones, enzymes, amino acids and DNA molecules, in fact, are chiral. Moreover, the concept of chirality goes far beyond the mere spatial symmetry of objects being crucially entangled with the fundamental properties of physical forces in nature. The symmetry breaking, namely the different physical behaviour of a two chiral systems upon the same stimuli, is considered to be one of the best explanation for the long standing questions of homochirality in biological life, and ultimately to the chemical origin of life on Earth as we know it. Our organism shows high enantio-selectivity towards specific compounds ranging from drugs, to fragrances. Over 800 odour molecules commonly used in food and fragrance industries have been identified as chiral and their enantiomeric forms are perceived to have very different smells, as the well-know example of D- and L- limonene. Similarly, responses to pharmaceuticals drugs can be enantiomer specific, and in fact about 60 % the drugs currently on the market are chiral compounds, and nearly 90 % of them are sold as racemates. The same degree of enantio-selectivity is observed in the communications systems of plants and insects. Plants produce lipophilic liquids with high vapour pressure called plant volatiles (PVs) which are synthesized via different enzymes called tarpene synthases that are usually chiral. Chiral molecules and chiral effects have a strong impact on all the fields of science with exciting developments ranging from stereo-selective synthesis based on heterogeneous enantioselective catalysis, to optoelctronics, to photochemical asymmetric synthesis, and chiral surface science, just to cite a few.
Chiral molecules come in two forms called enantiomers. Their almost identical chemical and physical properties continue to pose technical challenges concerning the resolution of racemic mixtures, the determination of the enantiomeric excess, and the direct determination of the absolute configuration of an enantiomer. ...
A modern linear accelerator of ions is a long chain of different accelerating-focusing structures. The design of new linacs, as well as an upgrade and optimization of operating facilities, requires precise and reliable beam matching with the subsequent sections. Proper matching of the beam to the channel allows to improve the performance of the whole linac and to reduce the specific costs. Additionally it helps to avoide particle loss in high energy high intensity linacs. Generally a matching algorithm combines precisely measured or calculated accelerating-focusing external fields and experimentally obtained details of the beam parameters with an advanced code for beam dynamics simulations including space charge effects. Experimental results are introduced into a code as input data. The described algorithm has already been successfully implemented for several GSI projects: an upgrade of the GSI heavy ion linac UNILAC, an ion linac for the cancer therapy, the proton linac for the FAIR facility, a facility for laser acceleration of ions and others. Measured data and results of beam dynamics simulations leading to an achieved improvement of the linac performance are presented.
Ein wesentlicher Forschungsgegenstand der Kernphysik ist die Untersuchung der Eigenschaften von Kernmaterie. Das Verständnis darüber gibt in Teilen Aufschluss über die Erscheinungsweise und Wechselwirkung von Materie. Ein Schlüssel liegt dabei in der Untersuchung der Modifikation der Eigenschaften von Hadronen in dem Medium Kernmaterie, das durch Parameter wie Dichte und Temperatur gekennzeichnet werden kann. Man hofft damit unter anderem Einblick in die Mechanismen zu bekommen, welche zur Massenbildung der Hadronen beitragen. Zur Untersuchung solcher Modifikationen eignen sich insbesondere Vektormesonen, die in e+e- Paare zerfallen. Die Leptonen dieser Paare wechselwirken nicht mehr stark mit der Materie innerhalb der Reaktionszone, und tragen somit wichtige Informationen ungestört nach außen. Das HADES-Spektrometer bei GSI wird dazu verwendet die leichten bei SIS-Energien produzierten Vektormesonen rho, omega und phi zu vermessen. Hierzu wurde zum erste mal das mittelschwere Stoßsystem Ar+KCl bei einer Strahlenergie von 1,76 AGeV gemessen. Die im Vergleich zum früher untersuchten System C+C höhere Spurmultiplizität innerhalb der Spektrometerakzeptanz verlangte eine Anpassung der bisher verwendeten Datenanalyse. Das bisher verwendete Verfahren, mehrere scharfe Schnitte auf verschiedene Observablen seriell anzuwenden, um einzelne Leptonspuren als solche zu identifizieren, wurde durch eine neu entwickelte multivariate Analyse ersetzt. Dabei werden die Informationen aller beteiligten Observablen mit Hilfe eines Algorithmus zeitgleich zusammengeführt, damit Elektronen und Positronen vom hadronischen Untergrund getrennt werden können. Durch Untersuchung mehrerer Klassifizierer konnte ein mehrschichtiges künstliches neuronalen Netz als am besten geeigneter Algorithmus identifiziert werden. Diese Art der Analyse hat den Vorteil, dass sie viel robuster gegenüber Fluktuationen in einzelnen Observablen ist, und sich somit die Effizienz bei gleicher Reinheit steigern lässt. Die Rekonstruktion von Teilchenspuren im HADES-Spektrometer basiert nur auf wenigen Ortsinformationen. Daher können einzelne vollständige Spuren a priori nicht als solche gleich erkannt werden. Vielmehr werden durch verschiedene Kombinationen innerhalb derselben Mannigfaltigkeit von Positionspunkten mehr Spuren zusammengesetzt, als ursprünglich produziert wurden. Zur Identifikation des maximalen Satzes eindeutiger Spuren eines Ereignisses wurde eine neue Methode der Spurselektion entwickelt. Während dieser Prozedur werden Informationen gewonnen, die im weiteren Verlauf der Analyse zur Detektion von Konversions- und pi0-Dalitz-Paaren genutzt werden, die einen großen Beitrag zum kombinatorischen Untergrund darstellen. Als Ergebnis wird das effizienzkorrigierte, und auf die mittlere Zahl der Pionen pro Ereignis normierte, Spektrum der invarianten Elektronpaarmasse präsentiert. Erste Vergleiche mit der konventionellen Analysemethode zeigen dabei eine um etwa 30% erhöhte Rekonstruktionseffizienz. Das Massenspektrum setzt sich aus mehr als 114.000 Paaren zusammen -- über 16.000 davon mit einer Masse größer als 150 MeV. Ein erster Vergleich mit einem einfachen thermischen Modell, welches durch den Ereignisgenerator Pluto dargestellt wird, eröffnet die Möglichkeit, die hier gefundenen Produktionsraten des omega- und phi-Mesons durch m_T-Skalierung an die durch andere Experimente ermittelten Raten des eta zu koppeln. In diesem Zusammenhang findet sich weiterhin ein von der Einschussenergie abhängiger Produktionsüberschluss von F(1,76) = Y_total/Y_PLUTO = 5,3 im Massenbereich M = 0,15...0,5 GeV/c^2. Die theoretische Erklärung dieses Überschusses birgt neue Erkenntnisse zu den in-Medium Eigenschaften von Hadronen.
The TATA Box Binding Protein (TBP) is a 20 kD protein that is essential and universally conserved in eucarya and archaea. Especially among archaea, organisms can be found that live below 0°C as well as organisms that grow above 100°C. The archaeal TBPs show a high sequence identity and a similar structure consisting of α-helices and β-sheets that are arranged in a saddle-shape 2-symmetric fold. In previous studies, we have characterized the thermal stability of thermophilic and mesophilic archaeal TBPs by infrared spectroscopy and showed the correlation between the transition temperature (Tm) and the optimal growth temperature (OGT) of the respective donor organism. In this study, a “new” mutant TBP has been constructed, produced, purified and analyzed for a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of thermoadaptation. The β-sheet part of the mutant consists of the TBP from Methanothermobacter thermoautotrophicus (OGT 65°C, MtTBP65) whose α-helices have been exchanged by those of Methanosarcina mazei (OGT 37°C, MmTBP37). The Hybrid-TBP irreversibly aggregates after thermal unfolding just like MmTBP37 and MtTBP65, but the Tm lies between that of MmTBP37 and MtTBP65 indicating that the interaction between the α-helical and β-sheet part of the TBP is crucial for the thermal stability. The temperature stability is probably encoded in the variable α-helices that interact with the highly conserved and DNA binding β-sheets.
Charged-particle spectra at midrapidity are measured in Pb–Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon pair √sNN = 5.02 TeV and presented in centrality classes ranging from most central (0–5%) to most peripheral (95–100%) collisions. Possible medium effects are quantified using the nuclear modification factor (RAA) by comparing the measured spectra with those from proton–proton collisions, scaled by the number of independent nucleon–nucleon collisions obtained from a Glauber model. At large transverse momenta (8 < pT < 20 GeV/c), the average RAA is found to increase from about 0.15 in 0–5% central to a maximum value of about 0.8 in 75–85% peripheral collisions, beyond which it falls off strongly to below 0.2 for the most peripheral collisions. Furthermore, RAA initially exhibits a positive slope as a function of pT in the 8–20 GeV/c interval, while for collisions beyond the 80% class the slope is negative. To reduce uncertainties related to event selection and normalization, we also provide the ratio of RAA in adjacent centrality intervals. Our results in peripheral collisions are consistent with a PYTHIA-based model without nuclear modification, demonstrating that biases caused by the event selection and collision geometry can lead to the apparent suppression in peripheral collisions. This explains the unintuitive observation that RAA is below unity in peripheral Pb–Pb, but equal to unity in minimum-bias p–Pb collisions despite similar charged-particle multiplicities.

We discuss aspects of the phase structure of a three-dimensional effective lattice theory of Polyakov loops derived from QCD by strong coupling and hopping parameter expansions. The theory is valid for the thermodynamics of heavy quarks where it shows all qualitative features of nuclear physics emerging from QCD. In particular, the SU(3) pure gauge effective theory also exhibits a first-order thermal deconfinement transition due to spontaneous breaking of its global Z₃ center symmetry. The presence of heavy dynamical quarks breaks this symmetry explicitly and consequently, the transition weakens with decreasing quark mass until it disappears at a critical endpoint. At non-zero baryon density, the effective theory can be evaluated either analytically by the so-called high-temperature expansion which does not suffer from the sign problem, or numerically by standard Monte-Carlo methods due to its mild sign problem. The first part of this work devotes to a systematic derivation of the effective theory up to the 6th order in the hopping parameter κ. This method combined with the SU(3) link update algorithm provides a way to simulate the O(κ⁶) effective theory. The second part involves a study of the deconfinement transition of the pure gauge effective theory, with and without static quarks, at all chemical potentials with help of the high-temperature expansion. Our estimate of the deconfinement transition and its critical endpoint as a function of quark mass and all chemical potentials agrees well with recent Monte-Carlo simulations. In the third part, we investigate the N ſ ∈ {1,2} effective theory with zero chemical potential up to O(κ⁴). We determine the location of the critical hopping parameter at which the first-order deconfinement phase transition terminates and changes to a crossover. Our results for the critical endpoint of the O(κ²) effective theory are in excellent agreement with the determinations from simulations of four-dimensional QCD with a hopping expanded determinant by the WHOT-QCD collaboration. For the O(κ⁴) effective theory, our estimate suggests that the critical quark mass increases as the order of κ-contributions increases. We also compare with full lattice QCD with N ſ = 2 degenerate standard Wilson fermions and thus obtain a measure for the validity of both the strong coupling and the hopping expansion in this regime.
In the initial stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, strong magnetic fields appear due to the large velocity of the colliding charges. The evolution of these fields appears as a novel and intriguing feature in the fluid-dynamical description of heavy-ion collisions. In this work, we study analytically the one-dimensional, longitudinally boost-invariant motion of an ideal fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. Interestingly, we find that, in the limit of ideal magnetohydrodynamics, i.e., for infinite conductivity, and irrespective of the strength of the initial magnetization, the decay of the fluid energy density e with proper time τ is the same as for the time-honoured “Bjorken flow” without magnetic field. Furthermore, when the magnetic field is assumed to decay , where a is an arbitrary number, two classes of analytic solutions can be found depending on whether a is larger or smaller than one. In summary, the analytic solutions presented here highlight that the Bjorken flow is far more general than formerly thought. These solutions can serve both to gain insight on the dynamics of heavy-ion collisions in the presence of strong magnetic fields and as testbeds for numerical codes.
We review the recent developments of analytic solutions in transverse magneto-hydrodynamics under Bjorken expansion. It is found that the time dependence of magnetic fields can either increase or reduce the energy density depending on the decay exponent of magnetic fields. Moreover, perturbative solutions under weak magnetic fields with spatial inhomogeneity results in transverse flow, where the directions of flow also depend on the decay exponent of magnetic fields in time.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird darauf eingegangen, welche Anpassungen erforderlich sind, um Protonendichten vergleichbar zu bereits erzeugten Elektronendichten in Gabor-Linsen zu erhalten. Zur Vorbereitung zukünftiger Experimente werden vergleichende Simulationen zum Einschluss der Ladungsträgerdichten durchgeführt und die Strahldynamik bei der Wechselwirkung eines positiven Ionenstrahls mit einem in einer Gabor-Linse eingeschlossenen Protonenplasma untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der Strahldynamiksimulationen werden mit theoretischen Berechnungen vertieft, in dem die Brennweite einer Gabor-Linse, die mit einer beliebigen Teilchensorte gefüllt ist, berechnet und die Drift-Masse eingeführt wird.
Eine weitere analytische Betrachtung ist die Erweiterung der Teilchendynamik in der Gabor-Linse auf beliebige Anfangsbedingungen, in dem die dazugehörige Differentialgleichung entkoppelt und ganz allgemein gelöst wird. Die daraus berechneten Trajektorien der Teilchen führen zu einem besseren Verständnis, das weitere Anwendungen erschließen könnte.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde ein Reaktionsmikroskop (REMI) nach dem Messprinzip COLTRIMS (Cold Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectrometry) neu konstruiert und aufgebaut. Die Leistungsfähigkeit des Experimentaufbaus konnte sowohl in diversen Testreihen als auch anschließend unter realen Messbedingungen an der Synchrotronstrahlungsanlage SOLEIL und am endgültigen Bestimmungsort SQS-Instrument (Small Quantum Systems) des Freie-Elektronen-Lasers European XFEL (X-ray free-electron laser) eindrucksvoll unter Beweis gestellt werden.
Mit der Experimentiertechnik COLTRIMS ist es möglich, alle geladenen Fragmente einer Wechselwirkung eines Projektilteilchens mit einem Targetteilchen mittels zweier orts- und zeitauflösender Detektoren nachzuweisen. In einem Vakuumrezipienten wird die als Molekularstrahl präparierte Targetsubstanz inmitten der Hauptkammer zentral mit einem Projektilstrahl (z.B. des XFEL) zum Überlapp gebracht, sodass dort eine Wechselwirkung stattfinden kann. Bei den entstehenden Fragmenten handelt es sich um positiv geladene Ionen sowie negative geladene Elektronen. Elektrische Felder, erzeugt durch eine Spektrometer-Einheit, sowie durch Helmholtz-Spulen erzeugte magnetische Felder ermöglichen es, die geladenen Fragmente in Richtung der Detektoren zu lenken. Die Orts- und Zeitmessung eines einzelnen Teilchens (z.B. eines Ions) findet in Koinzidenz mit den anderen Teilchen (z.B. weiteren Ionen bzw. Elektronen) statt. Mit dieser Messmethode können die Impulsvektoren und Ladungszustände aller geladenen Fragmente in Koinzidenz gemessen werden. Da hierbei die geometrische Anordnung der einzelnen Komponenten für die Leistungsfähigkeit des Experiments eine entscheidende Rolle spielt, mussten bei der Neukonstruktion des COLTRIMS-Apparates für den Einsatz an einem Freie-Elektronen-Laser (FEL) einige Rahmenbedingungen erfüllt werden. Besonders wurden die hohen Vakuumvoraussetzungen an den Experimentaufbau aufgrund der enormen Lichtintensität eines FEL beachtet. Das Zusammenspiel der vielen Einzelkomponenten konnte zunächst in mehreren Testreihen überprüft werden. Unter anderem durch Variation der Vakuumbauteile in Material und Beschaffenheit konnten die zuvor ermittelten Vorgaben schließlich erreicht werden. Das neu konstruierte Target-Präparationssystem zur Erzeugung molekularer Gasstrahlen erlaubt nun den Einsatz von bis zu vier unterschiedlich dimensionierten, differentiell gepumpten Stufen. Zudem wurden hochpräzise Piezo-Aktuatoren verbaut, welche die Bewegung von Blenden im Vakuum erlauben, wodurch eine variable Einstellung des lokalen Targetdrucks ermöglicht wird. Die Anpassung der elektrischen Felder des Spektrometers für ein jeweiliges Experiment wurde mittels Simulationen der Teilchentrajektorien, Teilchenflugzeiten sowie der Detektorauflösung durchgeführt.
Da die in dieser Arbeit besprochenen Messungen und Ergebnisse die Wechselwirkungsprozesse von Röntgenstrahlung bzw. Synchrotronstrahlung mit Materie thematisieren, wird die Erzeugung von Synchrotronstrahlung sowohl in Kreisbeschleunigern als auch in den modernen Freie-Elektronen-Lasern (FEL) erklärt und hergeleitet. Der im Röntgenbereich arbeitende Freie-Elektronen-Laser European XFEL, welcher u.A. als Strahlungsquelle für die hier gezeigten Experimente diente, ist eine von derzeit noch wenigen Anlagen ihrer Art weltweit. Seine Lichtintensität in diesem Wellenlängenbereich liegt bis zu acht Größenordnungen über den bisher verwendeten Anlagen für Synchrotronstrahlung.
Beim ersten Einsatz der neuen Apparatur an der Synchrotronstrahlungsanlage SOLEIL wurde der ultraschnelle Dissoziationsprozess von Chlormethan (CH3Cl) untersucht. Während des Zerfallsprozesses nach Anregung durch Röntgenstrahlung werden hochenergetische Auger-Elektronen emittiert, welche in Koinzidenz mit verschiedenen Molekülfragmenten nachgewiesen wurden. Durch den Zerfallsmechanismus der ultraschnellen Dissoziation wird die Auger-Elektronenemission nach resonanter Molekülanregung während der Dissoziation des Moleküls beschrieben. Die kinetische Energie des Auger-Elektrons ist dabei abhängig von seinem Emissionszeitpunkt. Somit können die gemessenen Auger-Elektronen ein „Standbild“ der zeitlichen Abfolge des Dissoziationsprozesses liefern.
Es wird eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Datenanalyse vorgenommen, welche aus Kalibrationsmessungen und einer Interpretation der Messdaten besteht. Die abschließende Betrachtung besteht in der Darstellung der Elektronenemissionswinkelverteilungen im molekülfesten Koordinatensystem. Die Winkelverteilung der Auger-Elektronen wird am Anfang der Dissoziation vom umgebenden Molekül- potential beeinflusst und zeigt deutliche Strukturen entlang der Bindungsachse. Entfernen sich die Bindungspartner voneinander und das Auger-Elektron wird währenddessen emittiert, so verschwinden diese Strukturen zunehmend und eine Vorzugsemissionsrichtung senkrecht zur Molekülachse wird sichtbar.
Die Analyse der Messdaten zur Untersuchung von Multiphotonen-Ionisation an Sauerstoff-Molekülen am Freie-Elektronen-Laser European XFEL ermöglichte unter anderem die Beobachtung „hohler Moleküle“, also Systemen mit Doppelinnerschalen- Vakanzen. Solche Zustände können vor allem durch die sequentielle Absorption zweier Photonen entstehen, wobei die hierbei nötige Photonendichte nur von FEL- Anlagen bereit gestellt werden kann. Hier konnte das Ziel erreicht werden, erstmalig die Emissionswinkelverteilungen der Photoelektronen von mehrfach ionisierten Sauerstoff-Molekülen (O+/O3+-Aufbruchskanal) als Folge der ablaufenden Mechanismen femtosekundengenau zu beobachten. Hierzu wurde ein vereinfachtes Schema der verschiedenen Zerfallsschritte erstellt und schließlich ermittelt, dass der Zerfall durch eine PAPA-Sequenz beschrieben werden kann. Bei dieser handelt es sich um die zweimalige Abfolge von Photoionisation und Auger-Zerfall. Somit werden vier positive Ladungen im Molekül erzeugt. Das zweite Photon des XFEL wird dabei während der Dissoziation der sich Coulomb-abstoßenden Fragmente absorbiert, weshalb es sich um einen zweistufigen Prozess aus Anrege- und Abfrage- Schritt (Pump-Probe) handelt. Schlussendlich gelang zudem der Nachweis von Doppelinnerschalen-Vakanzen im Sauerstoff-Molekül nach Selektion des O2+/O2+- Aufbruchkanals. Hierfür konnten die beiden Möglichkeiten einer zweiseitigen oder einseitigen Doppelinnerschalen-Vakanz getrennt betrachtet werden und ebenfalls erstmalig das Verhalten der Elektronenemission dieser beiden Zustände verglichen werden.
When a very strong light field is applied to a molecule an electron can be ejected by tunneling. In order to quantify the time-resolved dynamics of this ionization process, the concept of the Wigner time delay can be used. The properties of this process can depend on the tunneling direction relative to the molecular axis. Here, we show experimental and theoretical data on the Wigner time delay for tunnel ionization of H2 molecules and demonstrate its dependence on the emission direction of the electron with respect to the molecular axis. We find, that the observed changes in the Wigner time delay can be quantitatively explained by elongated/shortened travel paths of the emitted electrons, which occur due to spatial shifts of the electrons’ birth positions after tunneling. Our work provides therefore an intuitive perspective towards the Wigner time delay in strong-field ionization.
Above 1 MeV of incident neutron energy the fission fragment angular distribution (FFAD) has generally a strong anisotropic behavior due to the combination of the incident orbital momentum and the intrinsic spin of the fissioning nucleus. This effect has to be taken into account for the efficiency estimation of devices used for fission cross section measurements. In addition it bears information on the spin deposition mechanism and on the structure of transitional states. We designed and constructed a detection device, based on Parallel Plate Avalanche Counters (PPAC), for measuring the fission fragment angular distributions of several isotopes, in particular 232Th. The measurement has been performed at n_TOF at CERN taking advantage of the very broad energy spectrum of the neutron beam. Fission events were recognized by back to back detection in coincidence in two position-sensitive detectors surrounding the targets. The detection efficiency, depending mostly on the stopping of fission fragments in backings and electrodes, has been computed with a Geant4 simulation and validated by the comparison to the measured case of 235U below 3 keV where the emission is isotropic. In the case of 232Th, the result is in good agreement with previous data below 10 MeV, with a good reproduction of the structures associated to vibrational states and the opening of second chance fission. In the 14 MeV region our data are much more accurate than previous ones which are broadly scattered.
In this paper, we present an experimental and theoretical study of excitation processes for the heaviest stable helium-like ion, that is, He-like uranium occurring in relativistic collisions with hydrogen and argon targets. In particular, we concentrate on angular distributions of the characteristic Kα radiation following the K → L excitation of He-like uranium. We pay special attention to the magnetic sub-level population of the excited 1s2lj states, which is directly related to the angular distribution of the characteristic Kα radiation. We show that the experimental data can be well described by calculations taking into account the excitation by the target nucleus as well as by the target electrons. Moreover, we demonstrate for the first time an important influence of the electron-impact excitation process on the angular distributions of the Kα radiation produced by excitation of He-like uranium in collisions with different targets.
We investigated the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons on gold films with the metallized probe tip of a scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM). The emission of the polaritons from the tip, illuminated by near-infrared laser radiation, was found to be anisotropic and not circularly symmetric as expected on the basis of literature data. We furthermore identified an additional excitation channel via light that was reflected off the tip and excited the plasmon polaritons at the edge of the metal film. Our results, while obtained for a non-rotationally-symmetric type of probe tip and thus specific for this situation, indicate that when an s-SNOM is employed for the investigation of plasmonic structures, the unintentional excitation of surface waves and anisotropic surface wave propagation must be considered in order to correctly interpret the signatures of plasmon polariton generation and propagation.
Anisotropic flow and flow fluctuations of identified hadrons in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
(2023)
The first measurements of elliptic flow of π±, K±, p+p¯¯¯, K0S, Λ+Λ¯¯¯¯, ϕ, Ξ−+Ξ+, and Ω−+Ω+ using multiparticle cumulants in Pb−Pb collisions at sNN−−−√ = 5.02 TeV are presented. Results obtained with two- (v2{2}) and four-particle cumulants (v2{4}) are shown as a function of transverse momentum, pT, for various collision centrality intervals. Combining the data for both v2{2} and v2{4} also allows us to report the first measurements of the mean elliptic flow, elliptic flow fluctuations, and relative elliptic flow fluctuations for various hadron species. These observables probe the event-by-event eccentricity fluctuations in the initial state and the contributions from the dynamic evolution of the expanding quark-gluon plasma. The characteristic features observed in previous pT-differential anisotropic flow measurements for identified hadrons with two-particle correlations, namely the mass ordering at low pT and the approximate scaling with the number of constituent quarks at intermediate pT, are similarly present in the four-particle correlations and the combinations of v2{2} and v2{4}. In addition, a particle species dependence of flow fluctuations is observed that could indicate a significant contribution from final state hadronic interactions. The comparison between experimental measurements and CoLBT model calculations, which combine the various physics processes of hydrodynamics, quark coalescence, and jet fragmentation, illustrates their importance over a wide pT range.

The first measurements of elliptic flow of π±, K±, p+p¯¯¯, K0S, Λ+Λ¯¯¯¯, ϕ, Ξ−+Ξ+, and Ω−+Ω+ using multiparticle cumulants in Pb−Pb collisions at sNN−−−√ = 5.02 TeV are presented. Results obtained with two- (v2{2}) and four-particle cumulants (v2{4}) are shown as a function of transverse momentum, pT, for various collision centrality intervals. Combining the data for both v2{2} and v2{4} also allows us to report the first measurements of the mean elliptic flow, elliptic flow fluctuations, and relative elliptic flow fluctuations for various hadron species. These observables probe the event-by-event eccentricity fluctuations in the initial state and the contributions from the dynamic evolution of the expanding quark-gluon plasma. The characteristic features observed in previous pT-differential anisotropic flow measurements for identified hadrons with two-particle correlations, namely the mass ordering at low pT and the approximate scaling with the number of constituent quarks at intermediate pT, are similarly present in the four-particle correlations and the combinations of v2{2} and v2{4}. In addition, a particle species dependence of flow fluctuations is observed that could indicate a significant contribution from final state hadronic interactions. The comparison between experimental measurements and CoLBT model calculations, which combine the various physics processes of hydrodynamics, quark coalescence, and jet fragmentation, illustrates their importance over a wide pT range.
We present predictions for the pseudorapidity dependence of the azimuthal anisotropy parameters v1 and v2 of baryons and inclusive charged hadrons in Pb + Pb collisions at a LHC energy of sNN=5.5 TeV applying a microscopic transport model, namely the quark–gluon string model (QGSM) which has been recently extended for parton rearrangement and fusion processes. Pb + Pb collisions with impact parameters b=2.3 fm and b=8 fm have been simulated in order to investigate additionally the difference between central and semiperipheral configurations. In contrast to v1ch(η) at RHIC, the directed flow of charged hadrons shows a small normal flow alignment. The elliptic flow v2ch(η) turns out to be rather similar in shape for RHIC and LHC conditions, the magnitude however increases about 10–20% at the LHC, leading to the conclusion that the hydrodynamical limit will be reached.
The first measurements of anisotropic flow coefficients vn for mid-rapidity charged particles in Xe–Xe collisions at √sNN = 5.44 TeV are presented. Comparing these measurements to those from Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV, v2 is found to be suppressed for mid-central collisions at the same centrality, and enhanced for central collisions. The values of v3 are generally larger in Xe–Xe than in Pb–Pb at a given centrality. These observations are consistent with expectations from hydrodynamic predictions. When both v2 and v3 are divided by their corresponding eccentricities for a variety of initial state models, they generally scale with transverse density when comparing Xe–Xe and Pb–Pb, with some deviations observed in central Xe–Xe and Pb–Pb collisions. These results assist in placing strong constraints on both the initial state geometry and medium response for relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment (CBM) at FAIR and the NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN SPS aim to study the area of the QCD phase diagram at high net baryon densities and moderate temperatures using heavy-ion collisions. The FAIR and SPS accelerators cover energy ranges 2-11 and 13-150 GeV per nucleon respectively in laboratory frame for heavy ions up to Au and Pb. One of the key observables to study the properties of a matter created in such collisions is an anisotropic transverse flow of particles.
In this work, the performance of the CBM experiment for anisotropic flow measurements is studied with Monte-Carlo simulations using gold ions at SIS-100 energies employing different heavy-ion event generators. Also, procedures for centrality estimation and charged hadron identification are described and corresponding frameworks are developed.
The measurement of the reaction plane angle is performed with Projectile Spectator Detector (PSD), which is a hadron calorimeter located at a very forward angle. To prevent radiation damage by the high-intensity ion beam, the PSD has a hole in the center to let the beam pass through. Various combinations of CBM detector subsystems are used to investigate the possible systematic biases in flow and centrality measurements. Effects of detector azimuthal non uniformity and the PSD beam hole size on physics performance are studied. The resulting performance of CBM for flow measurements is demonstrated for identified charged hadron anisotropic flow as a function of rapidity and transverse momentum in different centrality classes.
The measurement techniques developed for CBM were also validated with the experimental data recently collected by the NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN SPS for Pb+Pb collisions at the beam momenta 30A GeV/c. Compared to the existing data from the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS, the new data allows for a more precise measurement of anisotropic flow harmonics. The fixed target setup of NA61/SHINE also allows extending flow measurements available from the STAR at the RHIC beam energy scan (BES) program to a wide rapidity range up to the forward region where the projectile nucleon spectators appear. In this thesis, an analysis of the anisotropic flow harmonics in Pb+Pb collisions at beam momenta 30A GeV/c collected by the NA61/SHINE experiment in the year 2016 is presented. Flow coefficients are measured relative to the spectator plane estimated with the Projectile Spectators Detector (PSD). The flow coefficients are obtained as a function of rapidity and transverse momentum in different classes of collision centrality. The results are compared with the corresponding NA49 data and the measurements from the RHIC BES program.
The elliptic, v2, triangular, v3, and quadrangular, v4, azimuthal anisotropic flow coefficients are measured for unidentified charged particles, pions, and (anti-)protons in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Results obtained with the event plane and four-particle cumulant methods are reported for the pseudo-rapidity range |η|<0.8 at different collision centralities and as a function of transverse momentum, pT, out to pT=20 GeV/c. The observed non-zero elliptic and triangular flow depends only weakly on transverse momentum for pT>8 GeV/c. The small pT dependence of the difference between elliptic flow results obtained from the event plane and four-particle cumulant methods suggests a common origin of flow fluctuations up to pT=8 GeV/c. The magnitude of the (anti-)proton elliptic and triangular flow is larger than that of pions out to at least pT=8 GeV/c indicating that the particle type dependence persists out to high pT.
We report the first results of elliptic (v2), triangular (v3) and quadrangular flow (v4) of charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN−−−√=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The measurements are performed in the central pseudorapidity region |η|<0.8 and for the transverse momentum range 0.2<pT<5 GeV/c. The anisotropic flow is measured using two-particle correlations with a pseudorapidity gap greater than one unit and with the multi-particle cumulant method. Compared to results from Pb-Pb collisions at sNN−−−√=2.76 TeV, the anisotropic flow coefficients v2, v3 and v4 are found to increase by (3.0±0.6)%, (4.3±1.4)% and (10.2±3.8)%, respectively, in the centrality range 0-50%. This increase can be attributed mostly to an increase of the average transverse momentum between the two energies. The measurements are found to be compatible with hydrodynamic model calculations. This comparison provides a unique opportunity to test the validity of the hydrodynamic picture and the power to further discriminate between various possibilities for the temperature dependence of shear viscosity to entropy density ratio of the produced matter in heavy-ion collisions at the highest energies.

Measurements of elliptic (v2) and triangular (v3) flow coefficients of π±, K±, p+p¯¯¯, K0S, and Λ+Λ¯¯¯¯ obtained with the scalar product method in Xe-Xe collisions at sNN−−−√ = 5.44 TeV are presented. The results are obtained in the rapidity range |y| < 0.5 and reported as a function of transverse momentum, pT, for several collision centrality classes. The flow coefficients exhibit a particle mass dependence for pT < 3 GeV/c, while a grouping according to particle type (i.e., meson and baryon) is found at intermediate transverse momenta (3 < pT < 8 GeV/c). The magnitude of the baryon v2 is larger than that of mesons up to pT = 6 GeV/c. The centrality dependence of the shape evolution of the pT-differential v2 is studied for the various hadron species. The v2 coefficients of π±, K±, and p+p¯¯¯ are reproduced by MUSIC hydrodynamic calculations coupled to a hadronic cascade model (UrQMD) for pT < 1 GeV/c. A comparison with vn measurements in the corresponding centrality intervals in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN−−−√ = 5.02 TeV yields an enhanced v2 in central collisions and diminished value in semicentral collisions.

The elliptic (v2), triangular (v3), and quadrangular (v4) flow coefficients of π±, K±, p+p¯¯¯,Λ+Λ¯¯¯¯,K0S, and the ϕ-meson are measured in Pb-Pb collisions at s√NN=5.02 TeV. Results obtained with the scalar product method are reported for the rapidity range |y| < 0.5 as a function of transverse momentum, pT, at different collision centrality intervals between 0–70%, including ultra-central (0–1%) collisions for π±, K±, and p+p¯¯¯. For pT < 3 GeV/c, the flow coefficients exhibit a particle mass dependence. At intermediate transverse momenta (3 < pT < 8–10 GeV/c), particles show an approximate grouping according to their type (i.e., mesons and baryons). The ϕ-meson v2, which tests both particle mass dependence and type scaling, follows p+p¯¯¯ v2 at low pT and π± v2 at intermediate pT. The evolution of the shape of vn(pT) as a function of centrality and harmonic number n is studied for the various particle species. Flow coefficients of π±, K±, and p+p¯¯¯ for pT < 3 GeV/c are compared to iEBE-VISHNU and MUSIC hydrodynamical calculations coupled to a hadronic cascade model (UrQMD). The iEBE-VISHNU calculations describe the results fairly well for pT < 2.5 GeV/c, while MUSIC calculations reproduce the measurements for pT < 1 GeV/c. A comparison to vn coefficients measured in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN−−−√=2.76 TeV is also provided.

The measurement of two-particle angular correlations is a powerful tool to study jet quenching in a pT region inaccessible by direct jet identification. In these measurements pseudorapidity (Δη) and azimuthal (Δφ) differences are used to extract the shape of the near-side peak formed by particles associated to a higher pT trigger particle (1<pT,trig< 8 GeV/c). A combined fit of the near-side peak and long-range correlations is applied to the data allowing the extraction of the centrality evolution of the peak shape in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN−−−√ = 2.76 TeV. A significant broadening of the peak in the Δη direction at low pT is found from peripheral to central collisions, which vanishes above 4 GeV/c, while in the Δφ direction the peak is almost independent of centrality. For the 10% most central collisions and 1<pT,assoc< 2 GeV/c, 1<pT,trig< 3 GeV/c a novel feature is observed: a depletion develops around the centre of the peak. The results are compared to pp collisions at the same centre of mass energy and to AMPT model simulations. The comparison to the investigated models suggests that the broadening and the development of the depletion is connected to the strength of radial and longitudinal flow.

Observations show that, at the beginning of their existence, neutron stars are accelerated briskly to velocities of up to a thousand kilometers per second. We argue that this remarkable effect can be explained as a manifestation of quantum anomalies on astrophysical scales. To theoretically describe the early stage in the life of neutron stars we use hydrodynamics as a systematic effective-field-theory framework. Within this framework, anomalies of the Standard Model of particle physics as underlying microscopic theory imply the presence of a particular set of transport terms, whose form is completely fixed by theoretical consistency. The resulting chiral transport effects in proto-neutron stars enhance neutrino emission along the internal magnetic field, and the recoil can explain the order of magnitude of the observed kick velocities.
The interrelation between quantum anomalies and electromagnetic fields leads to a series of non-dissipative transport effects in QCD. In this work we study anomalous transport phenomena with lattice QCD simulations using improved staggered quarks in the presence of a background magnetic field. In particular, we calculate the conductivities both in the free case and in the interacting case, analysing the dependence of these coefficients with several parameters, such as the temperature and the quark mass.
In dieser Arbeit wird der Strahltransport in einer Niederenergietransportsektion (LEBT) untersucht. Die Untersuchungen werden für die Betriebsmodi der im Aufbau befindlichen Neutronenquelle FRANZ an der Frankfurter Goethe-Universität durchgeführt. Hierbei wird die Akzeptanz eines Choppersystems nach der ersten Sektion des Transportwegs sowie die Akzeptanz des auf die zweite Sektion folgenden RFQ betrachtet und bestmöglich erfüllt. Die Auswirkungen durch die Raumladungswirkung des Ionenstrahls werden berücksichtigt, ebenso die mögliche thermische Belastung durch Strahlverlust an den Komponenten entlang des Strahlwegs. Weiterhin wird der Einfluss eines nicht optimierten Einschusses in den RFQ und die sich daraus ergebenden Strahleigenschaften am Ende des RFQs untersucht.
We present our recent results on antiheavy-antiheavy-light-light tetraquark systems using lattice QCD. Our study of the b¯b¯us four-quark system with quantum numbers JP=1+ and the b¯c¯ud four-quark systems with I(JP)=0(0+) and I(JP)=0(1+) utilizes scattering operators at the sink to improve the extraction of the low-lying energy levels. We found a bound state for b¯b¯us with Ebind,b¯b¯us=(−86±22±10)MeV, but no indication for a bound state in both b¯c¯ud channels. Moreover, we show preliminary results for b¯b¯ud with I(JP)=0(1+), where we used scattering operators both at the sink and the source. We found a bound state and determined its infinite-volume binding energy with a scattering analysis, resulting in Ebind,b¯b¯ud=(−103±8)MeV.

We investigate charmonium production in Pb + Pb collisions at LHC beam energy Elab=2.76A TeV at fixed-target experiment (√sNN = 72 GeV). In the frame of a transport approach including cold and hot nuclear matter effects on charmonium evolution, we focus on the antishadowing effect on the nuclear modification factors RAA and rAA for the J/ψ yield and transverse momentum. The yield is more suppressed at less forward rapidity (ylab ≃ 2) than that at very forward rapidity (ylab ≃ 4) due to the shadowing and antishadowing in different rapidity bins.
Es wurde das Leitfähigkeitsverhalten von reinem, lufthaltigem Wasser bei kontinuierlicher und impulsgetasteter Röntgenbestrahlung (60 kV8) untersucht. Hierbei ergaben sich zwei einander überlagerte Effekte: 1. Ein der Röntgen-Dosisleistung proportionaler irreversibler Leitfähigkeitsanstieg, der vermutlich auf eine Strahlenreaktion des gelösten CO2 zurückzuführen ist, 2. eine reversible Leitfähigkeitserhöhung während der Bestrahlung, die sich mit der Entstehung einer Ionenart mit einer mittleren Lebensdauer von ca. 0,15 sec erklären läßt. Es wird angenommen, daß es sich dabei um Radikalionen O2⊖ handelt, welche durch die Reaktion der als Strahlungsprodukt entstehenden Η-Radikale mit dem gelösten Sauerstoff gebildet werden. Ein möglicher chemischer Reaktionsmechanismus wird angegeben, der zu befriedigender quantitativer Übereinstimmung der Versuchsergebnisse mit Ausbeutewerten und Reaktionskonstanten aus der Literatur führt.
One of important consequences of Hagedorn statistical bootstrap model is the prediction of limiting temperature Tcrit for hadron systems colloquially known as Hagedorn temperature. According to Hagedorn, this effect should be observed in hadron spectra obtained in infinite equilibrated nuclear matter rather than in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We present results of microscopic model calculations for the infinite nuclear matter, simulated by a box with periodic boundary conditions. The limiting temperature indeed appears in the model calculations. Its origin is traced to strings and many-body decays of resonances.
The present research in high energy physics as well as in the nuclear physics requires the use of more powerful and complex particle accelerators to provide high luminosity, high intensity, and high brightness beams to experiments. With the increased technological complexity of accelerators, meeting the demand of experimenters necessitates a blend of accelerator physics with technology. The problem becomes severe when optimization of beam quality has to be provided in accelerator systems with thousands of free parameters including strengths of quadrupoles, sextupoles, RF voltages, etc. Machine learning methods and concepts of artificial intelligence are considered in various industry and scientific branches, and recently, these methods are used in high energy physics mainly for experiments data analysis.
In Accelerator Physics the machine learning approach has not found a wide application yet, and in general the use of these methods is carried out without a deep understanding on their effectiveness with respect to more traditional schemes or other alternative approaches. The purpose of this PhD research is to investigate the methods of machine learning applied to accelerator optimization, accelerator control and in particular on optics measurements and corrections. Optics correction, maximization of acceptance, and simultaneous control of various accelerator components such as focusing magnets is a typical accelerator scenario. The effectiven- ess of machine learning methods in a complex system such as the Large Hadron Collider, which beam dynamics exhibits nonlinear response to machine settings is the core of the study. This work presents successful application of several machine learning techniques such as clustering, decision trees, linear multivariate models and neural networks to beam optics measurements and corrections at the LHC, providing the guidelines for incorporation of machine learning techniques into accelerator operation and discussing future opportunities and potential work in this field.
The search for short-lived particles is usually the final stage in the chain of event reconstruction and precedes event selection when operating in online mode or physics analysis when operating in offline mode. Most often such short-lived particles are neutral and their search and reconstruction is carried out using their daughter charged particles resulting from their decay.
The use of the missing mass method makes it possible to find and analyze also decays of charged short-lived particles, when one of the daughter particles is neutral and is not registered in the detector system. One of the most known examples of such decays is the decay Σ− → nπ−.
In this paper, we discuss in detail the missing mass method, which was implemented as part of the KF Particle Finder package for the search and analysis of short-lived particles, and describe the use of the method in the STAR experiment (BNL, USA).
The method was used to search for pion (π± → μ±ν) and kaon (K± → μ±ν and K± → π±π0) decays online on the HLT farm in the express production chain. An important feature of the express production chain in the STAR experiment is that it allows one to start calibration, production, and analysis of the data immediately after receiving them.
Here, the particular features and results of the real-time application of the method within the express processing of data obtained in the BES-II program at a beam energy of 3.85 GeV/n when working with a fixed target are presented and discussed.
Proteine sind die Maschinen der Zellen. Um die Funktionalität von zahlreichen zellulären Prozessen zu gewährleisten, müssen Kommunikationssignale innerhalb von Proteinen weitergeleitet werden. Die Weiterleitung einer Störung an einem Ort im Protein zu einer entfernten Stelle, an welcher sie strukturelle und/oder dynamische Änderungen auslöst, wird Allosterie genannt. Zunächst wurde Allosterie hauptsächlich mit großräumigen Konformationsänderungen in Verbindung gebracht, aber später entwickelte sich ein dynamischerer Blickwinkel auf Allosterie in Abwesenheit dieser großräumigen Konformationsänderungen. Die Idee eines allosterischen Pfades bestehend aus konservierten und energetisch gekoppelten Aminosäuren, welche die Signalweiterleitung zwischen entfernten Stellen im Protein vermitteln, entstand. Diese allosterischen Pfade wurden durch zahlreiche theoretische Studien in Zusammenhang mit Pfaden effizienten anisotropen Energieflusses gebracht. Der Energiefluss entlang dieser Netzwerke verknüpft allosterische Signalübertragung mit Schwingungsenergietransfer (VET - vibrational energy transfer). Die Großzahl der Forschungsarbeiten über dynamische Allosterie basiert auf theoretischen Methoden, weil nur wenige geeignete experimentelle Verfahren existieren. Um diesen essentiellen biologischen Prozess der Informationsübertragung besser verstehen zu können, ist die Entwicklung neuer und leistungsstarker experimenteller Instrumente und Techniken daher dringend erforderlich. Die vorliegende Dissertation setzt sich dies zum Ziel.
VET in Proteinen ist aufgrund der Proteingeometrie inhärent anisotrop. Alle globulären Proteine besitzen Kanäle effizienten Energieflusses, von denen vermutet wird, dass sie wichtig für Proteinfunktionen, wie die schnelle Ableitung von überschüssiger Wärme, Ligandenbindung und allosterische Signalweiterleitung, sind. VET kann mit zeitaufgelöster Infrarot (IR) Spektroskopie untersucht werden, bei welcher ein Femtosekunden Anregepuls eines Lasers Schwingungsenergie in ein molekulares System an einer bestimmten Stelle injiziert und ein, nach einem veränderbarem Zeitintervall folgender, IR Abfragepuls die Ausbreitung dieser Schwingungsenergie detektiert. Ein protein-kompatibler und universell einsetzbarer Chromophor, der die Energie eines sichtbaren Photons in Schwingungsenergie konvertiert, wird als Heizelement benötigt um langreichweitige VET Pfade in Proteinen kartieren zu können. Der Azulen (Azu) Chromophor eignet sich dafür, weil er nach Photoanregung des ersten elektronischen Zustandes durch ultraschnelle interne Konversion fast die gesamte injizierte Energie innerhalb von einer Picosekunde in Schwingungsenergie umwandelt. Eingebettet in die nicht-kanonische Aminosäure (ncAA - non-canonical amino acid) ß-(1-Azulenyl)-L-Alanine (AzAla), kann der Azu Rest in Proteine eingebaut werden. Die Ankunft der injizierten Schwingungsenergie an einer bestimmten Stelle im Protein kann mithilfe eines IR Sensors detektiert werden. Die Kombination aus Azu als VET Heizelement und Azidohomoalanine (Aha) als VET Sensor mit transienter IR (TRIR) Spektroskopie wurde schon erfolgreich an kleinen Peptiden in der Dissertation von H. M.

Die Schwingungsfrequenz chemischer Bindungen ist hochempfindlich auf selbst kleine Änderungen der Konformation und Dynamik in der unmittelbaren Umgebung und kann mit IR Spektroskopie gemessen werden, z. B. mit Fourier Transform IR (FTIR) Spektroskopie. IR Spektroskopie bietet eine außergewöhnlich gute Zeitauflösung, die es ermöglicht, dynamische Prozesse in Molekülen auf einer Zeitskala von wenigen Picosekunden zu beobachten, wie z. B. die ultraschnelle Weiterleitung von Schwingungsenergie. Mit zweidimensionaler (2D)-IR Spektroskopie können die Relaxation von schwingungsangeregten Zuständen und strukturelle Fluktuationen um die schwingende Bindung untersucht werden. Allerdings geht die herausragende Zeitauflösung mit limitierter spektraler Auflösung einher. In größeren Molekülen mit zahlreichen Bindungen überlagern sich die Schwingungsbanden und die Ortsauflösung geht verloren. Um diese Limitierung zu überwinden, können IR Marker benutzt werden, chemische Gruppen, die in einer spektral durchsichtigen Region des Protein/Wasser Spektrums (1800 bis 2500 cm-1) absorbieren. Als ncAA können sie kotranslational in Proteine an einer gewünschten Stelle eingebaut werden und so ortsspezifische Informationen aus dem Proteininneren liefern. Aufgrund ihrer geringen Größe, eines relativ großen Extinktionskoeffizientens (350-400 M-1cm-1) und einer hohen Empfindlichkeit auf Änderungen in der lokalen Umgebung sind organische Azide (N3) wie zum Beispiel Aha besonders geeignete IR Marker. Aha kann als Methionin Analogon ins Protein eingebaut werden.

Approaching the continuum limit of the deconfinement critical point for Nf=2 staggered fermions
(2022)
Quenched QCD at zero baryonic chemical potential undergoes a first-order deconfinement phase transition at a critical temperature Tc, which is related to the spontaneous breaking of the global center symmetry. The center symmetry is broken explicitly by including dynamical quarks, which weaken the first-order phase transition for decreasing quark masses. At a certain critical quark mass, which corresponds to the Z(2)-critical point, the first-order phase transition turns into a smooth crossover. We investigate the Z(2)-critical quark mass for Nf=2 staggered fermions on Nτ=8,10 lattices, where larger Nτ correspond to finer lattices. Monte-Carlo simulations are performed for several quark mass values and aspect ratios in order to extrapolate to the thermodynamic limit. We present final results for Nτ=8 and preliminary results for Nτ=10 for the critical mass, which are obtained from fitting to a kurtosis finite size scaling formula of the absolute value of the Polyakov loop.
We report the first measurement of low-energy proton-capture cross sections of 124Xe in a heavy-ion storage ring. 124Xe54+ ions of five different beam energies between 5.5 and 8 AMeV were stored to collide with a windowless hydrogen target. The 125Cs reaction products were directly detected. The interaction energies are located on the high energy tail of the Gamow window for hot, explosive scenarios such as supernovae and x-ray binaries. The results serve as an important test of predicted astrophysical reaction rates in this mass range. Good agreement in the prediction of the astrophysically important proton width at low energy is found, with only a 30% difference between measurement and theory. Larger deviations are found above the neutron emission threshold, where also neutron and γ widths significantly impact the cross sections. The newly established experimental method is a very powerful tool to investigate nuclear reactions on rare ion beams at low center-of-mass energies.
Abstract: Simple cells in primary visual cortex were famously found to respond to low-level image components such as edges. Sparse coding and independent component analysis (ICA) emerged as the standard computational models for simple cell coding because they linked their receptive fields to the statistics of visual stimuli. However, a salient feature of image statistics, occlusions of image components, is not considered by these models. Here we ask if occlusions have an effect on the predicted shapes of simple cell receptive fields. We use a comparative approach to answer this question and investigate two models for simple cells: a standard linear model and an occlusive model. For both models we simultaneously estimate optimal receptive fields, sparsity and stimulus noise. The two models are identical except for their component superposition assumption. We find the image encoding and receptive fields predicted by the models to differ significantly. While both models predict many Gabor-like fields, the occlusive model predicts a much sparser encoding and high percentages of ‘globular’ receptive fields. This relatively new center-surround type of simple cell response is observed since reverse correlation is used in experimental studies. While high percentages of ‘globular’ fields can be obtained using specific choices of sparsity and overcompleteness in linear sparse coding, no or only low proportions are reported in the vast majority of studies on linear models (including all ICA models). Likewise, for the here investigated linear model and optimal sparsity, only low proportions of ‘globular’ fields are observed. In comparison, the occlusive model robustly infers high proportions and can match the experimentally observed high proportions of ‘globular’ fields well. Our computational study, therefore, suggests that ‘globular’ fields may be evidence for an optimal encoding of visual occlusions in primary visual cortex.
Author Summary: The statistics of our visual world is dominated by occlusions. Almost every image processed by our brain consists of mutually occluding objects, animals and plants. Our visual cortex is optimized through evolution and throughout our lifespan for such stimuli. Yet, the standard computational models of primary visual processing do not consider occlusions. In this study, we ask what effects visual occlusions may have on predicted response properties of simple cells which are the first cortical processing units for images. Our results suggest that recently observed differences between experiments and predictions of the standard simple cell models can be attributed to occlusions. The most significant consequence of occlusions is the prediction of many cells sensitive to center-surround stimuli. Experimentally, large quantities of such cells are observed since new techniques (reverse correlation) are used. Without occlusions, they are only obtained for specific settings and none of the seminal studies (sparse coding, ICA) predicted such fields. In contrast, the new type of response naturally emerges as soon as occlusions are considered. In comparison with recent in vivo experiments we find that occlusive models are consistent with the high percentages of center-surround simple cells observed in macaque monkeys, ferrets and mice.
Ziel der durchgeführten Experimente war es, die Zerfallsmechanismen Van-der-Waals gebundener Argon- und Neon Di- und Trimere in intensiven Laserfeldern zu untersuchen, um mehr über den Einfluss der schwachen Van-der-Waals Bindung auf die Dynamik des Ionisationsprozesses zu erfahren. Da Dimere aufgrund ihrer elektronischen Struktur sehr stark zwei separaten benachbarten Atomen gleichen, vereinen sie atomare und molekulare Eigenschaften in sich und ihre Untersuchung verspricht ein tieferes Verständnis der Wechselwirkungsmechanismen in starken Laserfeldern. Die Verwendung der Impulsspektroskopie Methode COLTRIMS ermöglichte die koinzidente Messung aller beim Aufbruch entstandener ionischer Fragmente sowie eines elektronischen Impulsvektors. Für die beidseitige Einfachionisation des Argon Dimers, konnten bei der gewählten Intensität (etwa 3.3E14W/cm2) drei unterschiedliche Ionisationsprozesse identifiziert werden, von denen zwei zu einer überraschend hohen kinetischen Gesamtenergie der Ionen führen. Aufgrund der Messung der Winkelverteilung der ionischen Fragmente und eines der emittierten Elektronen für lineare und zirkulare Polarisation gelang es, die den drei Prozessen zugrunde liegende Dynamik im Laserfeld zu entschlüsseln. Der dominierende Zerfallskanal stellt demzufolge eine schnelle sequentielle Doppelionisation des Argon Dimers dar, die noch am Gleichgewichtsabstand des Dimers stattfindet. Für den zweithäufigsten Ionisationsprozess ergaben sich zwei mögliche Erklärungsansätze: Entweder wird das Dimer zunächst einseitig doppelionisiert, so dass es auf einer attraktiven Potentialkurve zusammenläuft, bevor es zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt – wenn das Laserfeld bereits abgeklungen ist – durch eine Umverteilung seiner Ladungen in einer Coulomb Explosion fragmentiert, oder das Dimer wird bei einer beidseitigen Tunnelionisation zugleich angeregt, so dass die Coulomb Explosion von einer Potentialkurve erfolgt, die wesentlich steiler als 1/R verläuft. Der schwächste Zerfallskanal, der sich durch die höchste Gesamtenergie auszeichnet, ist auf eine "Frustrated Triple Tunnel Ionization" zurückzuführen, bei der ein hoch angeregter Rydberg Zustand erzeugt wird. Bei der Untersuchung des Neon Dimers konnte bei der gewählten Intensität (etwa 6.3E14W/cm2) nur die sequentielle beidseitige Einfachionisation identifiziert werden, obwohl die Daten Hinweise auf einen weitern Ionisationsprozess mit sehr geringer Statistik aufweisen. Zudem wurde in dieser Arbeit nach der Methode des Coulomb-Explosion-Imaging aus den in Koinzidenz gemessenen Impulsvektoren aller einfachgeladenen ionischen Fragmente eines Aufbruchs die geometrische Struktur der Cluster im Orts-und Impulsraum rekonstruiert. Die ermittelte Grundzustandswellenfunktion des Argon und Neon Dimers zeigt eine gute Übereinstimmung mit quantenmechanischen Berechnungen. Für das Argon und Neon Trimer konnten aus den gemessenen Impulsvektoren mittels einer numerischen Simulation die Bindungswinkel im Ortsraum bestimmt werden, so dass erstmals gezeigt werden konnte, dass diese Trimere gleichseitige Dreieckskonfigurationen aufweisen. Vergleiche mit theoretischen Berechnungen zeigen für die breite Winkelverteilung des Neon Trimers eine hervorragende Übereinstimmung, während die gemessene Winkelverteilung des Argon Trimers etwas breiter als die berechnete ist.
Artificial intelligence in heavy-ion collisions : bridging the gap between theory and experiments
(2023)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods are employed to study heavy-ion collisions at intermediate collision energies, where high baryon density and moderate temperature QCD matter is produced. The experimental measurements of various conventional observables such as collective flow, particle number fluctuations, etc. are usually compared with expensive model calculations to infer the physics governing the evolution of the matter produced in the collisions. Various experimental effects and processing algorithms can greatly affect the sensitivity of these observables. AI methods are used to bridge this gap between theory and experiments of heavy-ion collisions. The problems with conventional methods of analyzing experimental data are illustrated in a comparative study of the Glauber MC model and the UrQMD transport model. It is found that the centrality determination and the estimated fluctuations of the number of participant nucleons suffer from strong model dependencies for Au-Au collisions at 1.23 AGeV. This can bias the results of the experimental analysis if the number of participant nucleons used is not consistent throughout the analysis and in the final model-to-data comparison. The measurable consequences of this model dependence of the number of participant nucleons are also discussed. In this context, PointNet-based AI models are developed to accurately reconstruct the impact parameter or the number of participant nucleons in a collision event from the hits and/or reconstructed track of particles in 10 AGeV Au-Au collisions at the CBM experiment. In the last part of the thesis, different AI methods to study the equation of state (EoS) at high baryon densities are discussed. First, a Bayesian inference is performed to constrain the density dependence of the EoS from the available experimental measurements of elliptical flow and mean transverse kinetic energy of mid rapidity protons in intermediate energy collisions. The UrQMD model was augmented to include arbitrary potentials (or equivalently the EoSs) in the QMD part to provide a consistent treatment of the EoS throughout the evolution of the system. The experimental data constrain the posterior constructed for the EoS for densities up to four times saturation density. However, beyond three times saturation density, the shape of the posterior depends on the choice of observables used. There is a tension in the measurements at a collision energy of about 4 GeV. This could indicate large uncertainties in the measurements, or alternatively the inability of the underlying model to describe the observables with a given input EoS. Tighter constraints and fully conclusive statements on the EoS require accurate, high statistics data in the whole beam energy range of 2-10 GeV, which will hopefully be provided by the beam energy scan programme of STAR-FXT at RHIC, the upcoming CBM experiment at FAIR, and future experiments at HIAF and NICA. Finally, it is shown that the PointNet-based models can also be used to identify the equation of state in the CBM experiment. Despite the uncertainties due to limited detector acceptance and biases in the reconstruction algorithms, the PointNet-based models are able to learn the features that can accurately identify the underlying physics of the collision. The PointNet-based models are an ideal AI tool to study heavy-ion collisions, not only to identify the geometric event features, such as the impact parameter or the number of participant nucleons, but also to extract abstract physical features, such as the EoS, directly from the detector outputs.
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) mediate nucleocytoplasmic transport. Their intricate 120 MDa architecture remains incompletely understood. Here, we report a near-complete structural model of the human NPC scaffold with explicit membrane and in multiple conformational states. We combined AI-based structure prediction with in situ and in cellulo cryo-electron tomography and integrative modeling. We show that linker Nups spatially organize the scaffold within and across subcomplexes to establish the higher-order structure. Microsecond-long molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the scaffold is not required to stabilize the inner and outer nuclear membrane fusion, but rather widens the central pore. Our work exemplifies how AI-based modeling can be integrated with in situ structural biology to understand subcellular architecture across spatial organization levels.
Landau's Fermi liquid theory has been the main tool for investigating interactions between fermions at low energies for more than 50 years. It has been successful in describing, amongst other things, the mass enhancement in ³He and the thermodynamics of a large class of metals. Whilst this in itself is remarkable given the phenomenological nature of the original theory, experiments have found several materials, such as some superconducting and heavy-fermion materials, which cannot be described within the Fermi liquid picture. Because of this, many attempts have been made to understand these ''non Fermi liquid'' phases from a theoretical perspective. This will be the broad topic of the first part of this thesis and will be investigated in Chapter 2, where we consider a two-dimensional system of electrons interacting close to a Fermi surface through a damped gapless bosonic field. Such systems are known to give rise to non Fermi liquid behaviour. In particular we will consider the Ising-nematic quantum critical point of a two-dimensional metal. At this quantum critical point the Fermi liquid theory breaks down and the fermionic self-energy acquires the non Fermi liquid like {omega}²/³ frequency dependence at lowest order and within the canonical Hertz-Millis approach to quantum criticality of interacting fermions. Previous studies have however shown that, due to the gapless nature of the electronic single-particle excitations, the exponent of 2/3 is modified by an anomalous dimension {eta_psi} which changes, not only the exponent of the frequency dependence, but also the exponent of the momentum dependence of the self-energy. These studies also show that the usual 1/N-expansion breaks down for this problem. We therefore develop an alternative approach to calculate the anomalous dimensions based on the functional renormalization group, which will be introduced in the introductory Chapter 1. Doing so we will be able to calculate both the anomalous dimension renormalizing the exponent of the frequency dependence and the exponent renormalizing the momentum dependence of the self-energy. Moreover we will see that an effective interaction between the bosonic fields, mediated by the fermions, is crucial in order to obtain these renormalizations.
In the second part of this thesis, presented in Chapter 3, we return to Fermi liquid theory itself. Indeed, despite its conceptual simplicity of expressing interacting electrons through long-lived quasi-particles which behave in a similar fashion as free particles, albeit with renormalized parameters, it remains an active area of research. In particular, in order to take into account the full effects of interactions between quasi-particles, it is crucial to consider specific microscopic models. One such effect, which is not captured by the phenomenological theory itself, is the appearance of non-analytic terms in the expansions of various thermodynamic quantities such as heat-capacity and susceptibility with respect to an external magnetic field, temperature, or momentum. Such non-analyticities may have a large impact on the phase diagram of, for example, itinerant electrons near a ferromagnetic quantum phase transition. Inspired by this we consider a system of interacting electrons in a weak external magnetic field within Fermi liquid theory. For this system we calculate various quasi-particle properties such as the quasi-particle residue, momentum-renormalization factor, and a renormalization factor which relates to the self-energy on the Fermi surface. From these renormalization factors we then extract physical quantities such as the renormalized mass and renormalized electron Lande g-factor. By calculating the renormalization factors within second order perturbation theory numerically and analytically, using a phase-space decomposition, we show that all renormalization factors acquire a non-analytic term proportional to the absolute value of the magnetic field. We moreover explicitly calculate the prefactors of these terms and find that they are all universal and determined by low-energy scattering processes which we classify. We also consider the non-analytic contributions to the same renormalization factors at finite temperatures and for finite external frequencies and discuss possible experimental ways of measuring the prefactors. Specifically we find that the tunnelling density of states and the conductivity acquire a non-analytic dependence on magnetic field (and temperature) coming from the momentum-renormalization factor. For the latter we discuss how this relates to previous works which show the existence of non-analyticities in the conductivity at first order in the interaction.
For finite baryon chemical potential, conventional lattice descriptions of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) have a sign problem which prevents straightforward simulations based on importance sampling.
In this thesis we investigate heavy dense QCD by representing lattice QCD with Wilson fermions at finite temperature and density in terms of Polyakov loops.
We discuss the derivation of $3$-dimensional effective Polyakov loop theories from lattice QCD based on a combined strong coupling and hopping parameter expansion, which is valid for heavy quarks.
The finite density sign problem is milder in these theories and they are also amenable to analytic evaluations.
The analytic evaluation of Polyakov loop theories via series expansion techniques is illustrated by using them to evaluate the $\SU{3}$ spin model.
We compute the free energy density to $14$th order in the nearest neighbor coupling and find that predictions for the equation of state agree with simulations to $\mathcal{O}(1\%)$ in the phase were the (approximate) $Z(3)$ center symmetry is intact.
The critical end point is also determined but with less accuracy and our results agree with numerical results to $\mathcal{O}(10\%)$.
While the accuracy for the endpoint is limited for the current length of the series, analytic tools provide valuable insight and are more flexible.
Furthermore they can be generalized to Polyakov-loop-theories with $n$-point interactions.
We also take a detailed look at the hopping expansion for the derivation of the effective theory.
The exponentiation of the action is discussed by using a polymer expansion and we also explain how to obtain logarithmic resummations for all contributions, which will be achieved by employing the finite cluster method know from condensed matter physics.
The finite cluster method can also be used to evaluate the effective theory and comparisons of the evaluation of the effective action and a direction evaluation of the partition function are made.
We observe that terms in the evaluation of the effective theory correspond to partial contractions in the application of Wick's theorem for the evaluation of Grassmann-valued integrals.
Potential problems arising from this fact are explored.
Next to next to leading order results from the hopping expansion are used to analyze and compare the onset transition both for baryon and isospin chemical potential.
Lattice QCD with an isospin chemical potential does not have a sign problem and can serve as a valuable cross-check.
Since we are restricted by the relatively short length of our series, we content ourselves with observing some qualitative phenomenological properties arising in the effective theory which are relevant for the onset transition.
Finally, we generalize our results to arbitrary number of colors $N_c$.
We investigate the transition from a hadron gas to baryon condensation and find that for any finite lattice spacing the transition becomes stronger when $N_c$ is increased and to be first order in the limit of infinite $N_c$.
Beyond the onset, the pressure is shown to scale as $p \sim N_c$ through all available orders in the hopping expansion, which is characteristic for a phase termed quarkyonic matter in the literature.
Some care has to be taken when approaching the continuum, as we find that the continuum limit has to be taken before the large $N_c$ limit.
Although we currently are unable to take the limits in this order, our results are stable in the controlled range of lattice spacings when the limits are approached in this order.
Für das direkte Bild des Schwarzen Lochs benötigten die Astronomen ein Teleskop von bisher unerreichter Präzision und Empfindlichkeit. Das Event-Horizon-Teleskop ist kein einzelnes Teleskop, sondern eine Vernetzung von acht Radioteleskopen auf der ganzen Welt an Standorten mit teilweise herausfordernden klimatischen Bedingungen: auf dem Gipfel des Mauna Kea auf Hawaii, in der Atacama-Wüste in Chile, der Antarktis, in Mexiko, Arizona und der Sierra Nevada in Südspanien. ...
The possible role of a first order QCD phase transition at nonvanishing quark chemical potential and temperature for cold neutron stars and for supernovae is delineated. For cold neutron stars, we use the NJL model with nonvanishing color superconducting pairing gaps, which describes the phase transition to the 2SC and the CFL quark matter phases at high baryon densities. We demonstrate that these two phase transitions can both be present in the core of neutron stars and that they lead to the appearance of a third family of solution for compact stars. In particular, a core of CFL quark matter can be present in stable compact star configurations when slightly adjusting the vacuum pressure to the onset of the chiral phase transition from the hadronic model to the NJL model. We show that a strong first order phase transition can have strong impact on the dynamics of core collapse supernovae. If the QCD phase transition sets in shortly after the first bounce, a second outgoing shock wave can be generated which leads to an explosion. The presence of the QCD phase transition can be read off from the neutrino and antineutrino signal of the supernova.
The anion transport protein of the human erythrocyte membrane, band 3, was solubilized and purified in solutions of the non-ionic detergent nonaethylene glycol lauryl ether and then reconstituted in spherical egg phosphatidylcholine bilayers as described earlier (U. Scheuring, K. Kollewe, W. Haase, and D. Schubert, J. Membrane Biol. 90, 123-135 (1986)). The resulting paucilamellar proteoliposom es of average diameter 70 nm were transformed into smaller vesicles by French press treatment and fractionated according to size by gel filtration. The smallest protein-containing liposomes obtained had diameters around 32 nm; still smaller vesicles were free of protein. All proteoliposome samples studied showed a rapid sulfate efflux which was sensitive to specific inhibitors of band 3-mediated anion exchange. In addition, the orientation of the transport protein in the vesicle membranes was found to be “right-side-out” in all samples. This suggests that the orientation of the protein in the vesicle membranes is dictated by the shape of the protein’s intramembrane domain and that this domain has the form of a truncated cone or pyramid.
Far outside the surface of slabs, the exact exchange (EXX) potential vx falls off as −1/z , if z denotes the direction perpendicular to the surface and the slab is localized around z=0 . Similarly, the EXX energy density ex behaves as −n/(2z) , where n is the electron density. Here, an alternative proof of these relations is given, in which the Coulomb singularity in the EXX energy is treated in a particularly careful fashion. This new approach allows the derivation of the next-to-leading order contributions to the asymptotic vx and ex . It turns out that in both cases, the corrections are proportional to 1/z2 in general.
Atomistic molecular dynamics approach for channeling of charged particles in oriented crystals
(2015)
Der Gitterführungseffekt ist der Prozess der Ausbreitung von geladenen Teilchen entlang der Ebenen oder Achsen von kristallinen Materialien. Seit den 1960er Jahren ist dieser Effekt weitgehend theoretisch und experimentell untersucht worden. Dieser Effekt wurde für die Manipulation von Hochenergiestrahlen, die Hochpräzisionsstruktur- und -fehleranalyse von kristallinen Medien und die Herstellung von hochenergetischer Strahlung angewendet. Zur Abstimmung der Parameter der Gitterführung und Gitterführungsstrahlung wurde dieser Prozess für den Fall von künstlich nanostrukturierten Materialien, wie gebogenen Kristallen, Nanoröhren und Fullerit, angenommen. In den letzten Jahren wurde das Konzept des kristallinen Undulators formuliert und getestet, das besondere Eigenschaften der Strahlung aufgrund der Gitterführung von Projektilen in regelmäßig gebogenen Kristallen vorhersagt.
In dieser Arbeit werden die Prozesse der Gitterführung von Sub- und Multi-GeV-Elektronen und -Positronen durch den atomistischen Molekulardynamik-Ansatz untersucht. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studien wurden in einer Reihe von Artikeln während meiner Promotion in Frankfurt vorgestellt. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht die Simulation komplexer Fälle von Gitterführung in geraden, gebogenen und periodisch gebogenen Kristallen aus reinen kristallinen Materialien und von gemischten Materialien wie Si-Ge-Kristallen, in mehrschichtigen und nanostrukturierten kristallinen Systemen. Die Arbeit beschreibt die Methode der Simulationen, stellt Ergebnisse von Simulationen für verschiedene Fälle vor und vergleicht die Ergebnisse von Simulationen mit aktuellen experimentellen Daten. Die Ergebnisse werden mit Schätzungen der dechanneling-Länge verglichen, dem Anteil der gittergeführten Projektile, der Winkelverteilung der ausgehenden Projektile und des Strahlungsspektrums.
In Chinese medicine acupuncture points are treated by physical stimuli to counteract various diseases. These stimuli include mechanical stress as applied during the needle manipulation or tuina, high temperatures as applied during moxibustion, and red laser light applied during laser acupuncture. This study aimed to investigate cellular responses to stimuli that might occur in the tissue of acupuncture points. Since they have a characteristically high density of mast cells that degranulate in response to acupuncture, we asked whether these processes lead to ATP release. We tested in in vitro experiments on mast cells of the human mast-cell line HMC-1 the effects of the physical stimuli; mechanical stress was applied by superfusion of the cells with hypotonic solution, heat was applied by incubation of the cells at 52°C, and red laser light of 657 nm was used for irradiation. We demonstrate that all the stimuli induce ATP release from model human mast HMC-1 cells, and this release is associated with an intracellular free Ca2+ rise. We hypothesize that ATP released from mast cells supplements the already known release of ATP from keratinocytes and, by acting on P2X receptors, it may serve as initial mediator of acupuncture-induced analgesia.
Eines der wichtigsten Experimente für Kernstrukturforschung und Messung stellarer Reaktionsraten ist das R3B-Experiment im Rahmen des FAIR-Projekts am GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt. Der experimentelle Aufbau von R3B besteht aus mehreren einzelnen Teilchendetektoren für verschiedene Teilchensorten (Neutronen, Protonen, Spallationsund Spaltprodukte, Gammastrahlen), die alle möglichst vollständig detektiert und gemessen werden müssen. Für die Identifikation und Energiemessung schwerer, geladener Reaktionsprodukte ist eine sogenannte Time-of-Flight-Wall (Flugzeitwand) nötig. Der Name ergibt sich aus der Hauptaufgabe, der Flugzeitmessung für die Energiebestimmung der Teilchen, sowie der Geometrie eines solchen Detektors. Die in vorherigen Aufbauten verwendeten Detektoren diesen Typs erfüllen noch nicht die Anforderungen, die die Forschungsziele des R3B-Experiments stellen, daher wurde ein neues Design basierend auf Plastikszintillatoren entwickelt.
Für diese Arbeit wurde die theoretisch erreichbare Zeitauflösung des neuen Designs abgeschätzt sowie Testmessungen mit verschiedenen experimentellen Setups durchgeführt. Insbesondere wurde ein Prototyp der ToF-Wand im Rahmen einer Strahlzeit an der Beschleunigeranlage der GSI getestet. Die Ergebnisse dieser Messungen mit einem 58Ni28+-Strahl wurden im Hinblick auf Energie-, Zeit- und Ladungsauflösung sowie die Stabilität dieser Werte bei hohen Raten ausgewertet und so ein erster Eindruck von der Leistungsfähigkeit des Detektors und der Ausleseelektronik gewonnen und Einschränkungen und nötige Verbesserungen erkannt.
Neutroneneinfangquerschnitte werden häufig mithilfe der Aktivierungsmethode bestimmt. Hierbei wird die zu untersuchende Probe mit Neutronen der gew¨unschten Energie bestrahlt und danach in einem untergrundoptimierten Labor ausgezählt. Am Institut für Angewandte Physik der Goethe Universität Frankfurt wurde ein solcher Aufbau realisiert. Er besteht aus zwei Clover Detektoren, die gegenüberliegend in enger Geometrie angeordnet sind. Die aktivierte Probe wird mittels spezieller Probenhalter reproduzierbar und zentriert zwischen den Detektoren platziert. Die Clover Detektoren sind mit passiven Schilden (Pb) und einer aktiven Abschirmung (BGO) umgeben. Die unterschiedlichen Abschirmungen wirken sich in verschieden Energiebereichen jeweils anders aus.
Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der astrophysikalischen Motivation und dem Aufbau, mit dem später die Ausbeute einer neutronenaktivierten Probe bestimmt werden kann. Außerdem werden die Ergebnisse der verschiedenen Untergrundmessungen miteinander verglichen.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden Messungen zur Plasmadynamik eines Lorentz-Drift- Beschleunigers (LDB) durchgeführt. Dieser basiert auf einer koaxialen Elektrodengeometrie. Bei einem Überschlag führt der entstehende Stromfluss zu einemMagnetfeld, sodass die gebildeten Ladungsträger durch die resultierende Lorentzkraft beschleunigt werden. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die Abhängigkeit von Durchbruchspannung und Druck dem charakteristischen Verlauf einer Paschenkurve folgt.
Die Strom-Spannungs-Charakteristik des Versuchsaufbaus wurde in Konfigurationen mit und ohne Funkenstrecke untersucht. Mit Hilfe von diesem als Schalter fungierenden Spark-Gaps konnte bei Durchbruchspannungen gemessen werden, die oberhalb des Selbstdurchbruchs liegen.
Es zeigte sich, dass die im Versuchaufbau verwendete Funkenstrecke keinen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Entladung hat. Es kommt an der Funkenstrecke lediglich zu einem Spannungsabfall im Bereich einiger hundert Volt, der den Verlauf derEntladung im LDB allerdings nicht beeinflusst.
Der Lorentz-Drift-Beschleuniger könnte in Zukunft zur Erzeugung eines Druckgradienten verwendet werden, indem Teilchen von einem Rezipienten in einen Zweiten beschleunigt werden. Als Voruntersuchung zur Eingnung dieses als Lorentz-Drift-Ventil bezeichneten Konzeptes wurden Messungen durchgeführt, die den Einfluss der Durchbruchspannung auf die Teilchenbeschleunigung mit Hilfe eines piezokeramischen Elementes untersuchen. So wurde der magnetische Druck bzw. die entsprechende Kraft einer Entladungswolke in Abhängigkeit von Durchbruchspannungen bis etwa 9,5 kV untersucht. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass der Einsatz von hohen Spannungen sinnvoll ist, da sich die auf das Piezoelement einwirkende Kraft quadratisch zur Durchbruchspannung verhält. So wurde die maximale Kraft von 0,44N bei einer Zündspannung von 9,52 kV gemessen.
Zudem wurde untersucht, in welchem Druckbereich der Einfluss der Druckwelle zu messen und wie sich die Geschwindigkeit der Ausbreitung der Druckwelle bei verschiedenen Durchbruchspannungen verhält. Bei einer Entfernung von 231mm zwischen Elektrodengeometrie und Piezoelement hat sich gezeigt, dass im Druckbereich unterhalb von etwa 0,2mbar kein wesentlicher Einfluss des Gasdruckes auf die Piezospannung erkennbar ist. Dies lässt sich durch die geringe Teilchenanzahl im Arbeitsgas begründen, sodass Teilchenstöße vernachlässigt werden können. Die maximale gemessene Geschwindigkeit der durch die Entladung verursachten Druckwelle liegt bei 55 km s ± 10%.
Die gemessene Plasmadynamik lässt darauf schließen, dass das Konzept eines gepulsten Lorentz-Drift-Ventils insbesondere mit hohen Durchbruchspannungen realisierbar ist. Zur Erzeugung eines dauerhaften Druckgradienten müsste die Repetitionsrate allerdings ausreichend hoch sein, sodass der rückfließende Gasdurchsatz geringer ist als die durch den LDB erzeugte Drift. Geht man von der Schallgeschwindigkeit als Rückflussgeschwindigkeit der Teilchen aus, so sind mindestens Repetitionszeiten im Bereich einer Millisekunde erforderlich.
Ergänzend zu den durchgeführten Untersuchungen ist es sinnvoll, die bisherigen Messungen durch Einbau eines Triggers zu verifizieren. Ein Trigger erzeugt eine Vorentladung mit deren Hilfe die eigentliche Entladung auch im Bereich unterhalb des Selbstdurchbruchs gezündet werden kann.
Zunächst sind einige Methoden und Techniken zusammenfassend aufzuzählen, welche mir in meiner Zeit am IKF nahegebracht wurden.
Von technischer Seite her sind hier der Umgang mit der Instituts-eigenen Lichtmikroskop und den pA-Messgeräten sowie der analogen Messkette zu nennen. Außerdem gegebenen GEM-Folien auf Fehlstellen zu untersuchen, sie unter Spannung zu testen und anschließen in die Testkammer zu montieren und diese anschließend ordnungsgemäß in Betrieb zu nehmen. Während des Betriebs der Kammer sind neben den Messungen selbst auch die Programmierung in C++ um ein vorhandenes GUI zu verstehen und erweitern zu können zu nennen. In der Analyse der gewonnenen Daten ist vor allem die im Institut verbreiteten Analyse-Software „Root“ zu nennen um Daten zu verarbeiten, zu plotten und zu fitten.
Der physikalische Gehalt der Messungen war in Folge der ersten Messung nicht mit Sicherheit zu bestimmen, da die Raten-Abhängigkeit des IB entweder grundlegender physikalischer oder technischer Natur sein konnte, was näher zu untersuchen blieb. Nach wiederholter Messung mit größerem Messbereich und einer zweiten Messreihe mit einer anderen Gas-Mischung konnten jedoch Aussagen getroffen werden.
So konnte in der Argon-Messung die gleiche Raten-Abhängigkeit des IBF wie zuvor festgestellt werden, während der IBF in der Neon-Mischung kaum merklich anstieg. Außerdem ist festzuhalten, dass Messungen an der Kathode nur über 10 pA problemlos genau sind. Darunter werden die Werte bei zu wenig Messzeit weniger aussagekräftig.
Ziel der Bachelorarbeit war es, einen Versuch für das Fortgeschrittenen-Praktikum des Instituts für Kernphysik zu konzipieren, der es ermöglicht, die Lebensdauer von aus der kosmischen Strahlung entstandenen Myonen zu bestimmen.
Dazu wurden vorhandene Komponenten auf ihre Gebrauchstauglichkeit getestet und untersucht, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Größe der Szintillatoren, ob der für einen Praktikumsversuch zeitlich gegebene Rahmen eingehalten werden kann.
Es ergaben sich einige mechanische Probleme, insbesondere bei der Verbindung der neuen, größeren Szintillatoren mit den Photomultipliern, die angegangen wurden. Die zuerst getestete Methode stellte sich jedoch als uneffektiv heraus, sodass die endgültige Lösung mit Hilfe einer neuen, computergesteuerten Fräsmaschine der Feinmechanik-Werkstatt erreicht werden soll.
Um die entstandenen Daten zu verarbeiten, wurde ein entsprechendes Programm in LabVIEW entwickelt, das die am TDC abgegriffenen Daten auf ihre Relevanz untersucht und die Ergebnisse in eine Textdatei schreibt. Das LabVIEW Front Panel wurde dabei so gestaltet, dass es den Praktikanten alle wichtigen Daten in graphisch anschaulicher Weise liefert.
Die Daten aus der Textdatei werden dann mit Hilfe eines ROOT Makros mit zwei verschiedenen Exponentialfunktionen gefittet.
In ersten Messungen ergibt sich ein Wert für die Lebensdauer der Myonen, der erstaunlich nahe am Literaturwert liegt.
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung und dem Aufbau eines IHBeschleunigers zur Beschleunigung schwerer Ionen am Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Es wurde eine Einführung in die Arbeit und die Experimente des BNL gegeben, um zu verstehen, welche Aufgabe die IH in Zukunft haben wird und wie diese das BNL in den experimentellen Möglichkeiten erweitert.
Eingebettet in den historischen Kontext wurde zu Beginn die Familie der H-Moden Beschleuniger und ganz besonders die IH erläutert. Wichtige Begriffe und charakteristische Größen, die zum Verständnis der vorliegenden Arbeit nötig sind, wurden eingeführt und deren anschauliche Bedeutung bei der Entwicklung von Beschleunigern klar gemacht.
Eine Neuerung bei der Entwicklung von Driftröhrenbeschleunigern stellt der aufgebaute Messstand und die Computergestützte Datenanalyse dar. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die vorgestellte Methodik zur Verarbeitung der Messdaten enorme Verbesserungen mit sich bringt. Daten von unterschiedlichsten Beschleunigern könnern schneller als zuvor analysiert und direkt mit den Sollwerten der Strahldynamik verglichen werden. So kann bereits vor Ort eine mit nur geringen Fehlern behaftete Auswertung erstellt werden und direkt in die weitere Arbeit an einem Beschleuniger mit einfließen.
Die neue Technik wurde im weiteren Verlauf der Arbeit genutzt, um die im Detail eingeführte BNL IH Struktur aufzubauen und für den Einsatz in den USA fertig zu stellen. Neben den exakt auszuführenden Aufbau- und Justierarbeiten wurde viel Zeit in die Erstellung eines ausgereiften Tuningkonzepts investiert. Während dieser Arbeiten wurden die zwar theoretisch bekannten, am Institut aber noch nie nachgewiesenen, parasitären Tunerresonanzen beobachtet. Der zerstörerische Effekt einer solchen Resonanz konnte erstmals gemessen und analysiert werden.
Trotz der üblichen kleineren Schwierigkeiten, die komplexe Projekte mit sich bringen wurde die IH Struktur noch vor Beendigung dieser Arbeit in den USA am BNL aufgestellt und getestet. Es wurde noch nicht die volle Leistung erreicht, aber der Konditionierungsprozess ist in vollem Gange und die vorläufigen Ergebnisse zeigen keine Probleme auf, so dass davon auszugehen ist, dass die IH noch dieses Jahr voll eingesetzt werden kann.
Abschließend kann man sagen, dass das Projekt erfolgreich realisiert wurde und das die Neuerungen aus dieser Arbeit Einzug in weitere Projekte finden werden.
