The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment [1] is a fixed target heavy-ion experiment that will operate at the international Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) [2] now under construction in Darmstadt, Germany. The experiment intends to study rare probes, which are emitted from heavy ion collisions with a beam energy of 4 to 45 AGeV. A focus is laid to the short lived open charm particles and to particles decaying into di-lepton pairs. Handling the up to 107 Au+Au collisions/s required for generating those probes with sufficient statistics, as much as reaching the required sensitivity for observing them, forms a major challenge for the silicon detectors of the experiment. We present the concept and the development status of two central detectors of CBM, the CMOS pixel based micro vertex detector (MVD) and the micro-strip detector based silicon tracking system (STS).
22nd International Workshop on Vertex Detectors, 15-20 September 2013 Lake Starnberg, Germany
In this thesis, different physical and electrical aspects of silicon microstrip sensors and low-mass multi-line readout cables have been investigated. These silicon microstrip sensors and readout cables will be used in the Silicon Tracking System (STS) of the fixed-target heavy-ion Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment which is under development at the upcoming Facility for Antiproton and ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany. The highly segmented low-mass tracking system is a central CBM detector system to resolve the high tracking densities of charged particles originating from beam-target interactions. Considering the low material budget requirement the double-sided silicon microstrip detectors have been used in several planar tracking stations. The readout electronics is planned to be installed at the periphery of the tracking stations along with the cooling system. Low-mass multi-line readout cables shall bridge the distance between the microstrip sensors and the readout electronics. The CBM running operational scenario suggests that some parts of the tracking stations are expected to be exposed to a total integrated particle fluence of the order of 1e14 neq/cm2. After 1e14 neq/cm2 the damaged modules in the tracking stations will be replaced. Thus radiation hard sensor is an important requirement for the sensors. Moreover, to cope with the high reaction rates, free-streaming (triggerless) readout electronics with online event reconstruction must be used which require high signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio (i.e., high signal efficiency, low noise contributions). Therefore, reduction in noise is a major goal of the sensor and cable development.
For better insight into the different aspects of the silicon microstrip sensors and multi-line readout cables, the simulation study has been performed using SYNOPSYS TCAD tools. 3D models of the silicon microstrip sensors and the readout cables were implemented which is motivated by the stereoscopic construction of the silicon microstrip sensors. For the evaluation of the performance of the silicon microstrip sensors in the harsh radiation environment during experimental operation, a radiation damage model has been included. It reproduces the behavior of the irradiated CBM prototype sensors. In addition to the static characteristics, the interstrip parameters relevant to understand strip isolation and cross-talk issues have been extracted. The transient simulations have been performed to estimate the charge collection performance of the irradiated sensors. The signal transmission in the readout cables has been evaluated with the finite element simulation tool RAPHAEL. Based on the performance of the front-end electronics used for early prototyping in the CBM experiment, capacitive and resistive noise contributions from the silicon microstrip sensors and multi-line readout cables have been extracted.
To validate the aforementioned simulations, numerous tests have been performed both on the multi-line readout cables and silicon microstrip sensors. Characterizations of multi-line readout cables and silicon microstrip sensors in laboratory conditions have been found to agree reasonably well with the simulations. Considering the expected radiation environment the behavior of silicon microstrip sensors have been studied especially in terms of noise and charge collection efficiency. Source-scan of the silicon microstrip sensors using 241Am is presented. In order to test a first system of detector stations including the data acquisition system, slow control and online monitoring software and for track reconstruction, in-beam tests have been performed at the COSY synchrotron of the Research Center Juelich, Germany. Further, different design parameters have been suggested to improve the sensor and readout cable design on the basis of the simulations and the measurements. Many of these parameters have been implemented in the new prototypes under production. These new prototypes will be tested in-beam by the end of 2013.
Charmonium production in heavy ion collisions is considered as an important diagnostic probe for studying the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter for potential phase transitions. The interpretation of existing data from the CERN SPS is hampered by a lack of knowledge on the properties of open charm particle production in the fireball. Moreover, open charm production in heavy ion collisions by itself is poorly understood. To overcome this obstacle, the NA61/SHINE was equipped with a Small Acceptance Vertex Detector (SAVD), which is predicted to make the experiment sensitive to open charm mesons produced in A-A collisions at the SPS top energy. This paper will introduce the concept and the hardware of the SAVD. Moreover, first running experience as obtained in a commissioning run with a 150 AGeV/c Pb+Pb collision system will be reported.
We compute the static-light baryon spectrum with Nf = 2 flavors of sea quarks using Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD. As light valence quarks we consider quarks, which have the same mass as the sea quarks with corresponding pion masses in the range 340MeV<∼ mPS<∼ 525MeV, as well as partially quenched quarks, which have the mass of the physical s quark. We extract masses of states with isospin I = 0,1/2,1, with strangeness S = 0,−1,−2, with angular momentum of the light degrees of freedom j = 0,1 and with parity P = +,−. We present a preliminary extrapolation in the light u/d and an interpolation in the heavy b quark mass to the physical point and compare with available experimental results.
The SU(3) spin model with chemical potential corresponds to a simplified version of QCD with static quarks in the strong coupling regime. It has been studied previously as a testing ground for new methods aiming to overcome the sign problem of lattice QCD. In this work we show that the equation of state and the phase structure of the model can be fully determined to reasonable accuracy by a linked cluster expansion. In particular, we compute the free energy to 14-th order in the nearest neighbour coupling. The resulting predictions for the equation of state and the location of the critical end points agree with numerical determinations to O(1%) and O(10%), respectively. While the accuracy for the critical couplings is still limited at the current series depth, the approach is equally applicable at zero and non-zero imaginary or real chemical potential, as well as to effective QCD Hamiltonians obtained by strong coupling and hopping expansions.
At GSI a new, superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) LINAC is under design in cooperation with the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP) of Frankfurt University and the Helmholtz Institut Mainz (HIM). This proposed LINAC is highly requested by a broad community of future users to fulfill the requirements of nuclear chemistry, nuclear physics, and especially in the research field of Super Heavy Elements (SHE). In this context the preliminary layout of the LINAC has been carried out by IAP. The main acceleration of up to 7.3 AMeV will be provided by nine sc Crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavities operated at 217 MHz. Currently, a prototype of the cw LINAC as a demonstrator is under development. The demonstrator comprises a sc CH-cavity embedded between two sc solenoids mounted in a horizontal cryomodule. A full performance test of the demonstrator in 2013/14 by injecting and accelerating a beam from the GSI High Charge Injector (HLI) is one important milestone of the project. The status of the demonstrator is presented.
This work derives the value of the neutron capture cross section of 60Fe at the energy of kT = 25 meV. Iron plays an important role in stellar nucleosynthesis, because it is a seed material for the s-process, a neutron capture process in which the elements between iron and bismuth are synthesized.
To determine the thermal neutron cross section of 60Fe, an iron sample produced in the framework of the ERAWAST1 program at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland was irradiated at the research reactor TRIGA2 at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. Before the irradiation, the number of 60Fe particles in the sample was calculated using the decay scheme of 60Fe. There were (8.207 ± 0:066 stat 0:298 syst) * 10 14 60Fe particles in the sample.
The irradiation of the sample took place in May 2012. The counting of the reaction product, 61Fe, was undertaken using a HPGe detector located in a laboratory at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. Knowing the number of 60Fe particles in the sample, the number of produced 61Fe particles and the neutron flux from the reactor, the thermal neutron capture cross section of ρth60Fe = (0.203 ± 0:021 stat 0:024 syst) b could be determined.
The determination of the thermal neutron capture cross section at the energy of kT = 25 meV constitutes to the first at this energy. There was already a measurement of the neutron capture cross section of 60Fe at the energy of kT = 25 keV in Karlsruhe in Germany. The result of the measurement was 25 keV = (9.9 ± 2:8 syst 1:4 stat) mb and was published in the year 2009 [14].
Adding datapoints for the cross section at different energies improves extarpolation and helps verification of theoretical models for elemental synthesis. For this reason, a measurement of the 60Fe neutron capture cross section at the energy of kT = 90 keV is planned at Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany.
Having the neutron capture cross section of 60Fe at the energy of kT = 25 keV measured in the year 2009 in Karlsruhe [14], at the energy of kT = 25 meV measured in May 2012 at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and at the planned energy of kT = 90 keV at Goethe University Frankfurt, there will be three points for the extrapolation of the values for the neutron capture cross section of 60Fe. This will lead to a significant reduction in uncertainty with respect to existing theoretical discrepancies.
During collisions of heavy ions with heavy targets below the Coulomb barrier, adiabatic molecular orbitals are formed for the inner electrons. Deviations from adiabaticity lead to coupling between various states and can be treated by time-dependent perturbation theory. For high charges ( Z1+Z2 ≧ 60) the molecular electrons are highly relativistic. Therefore, the Dirac equation has to be used to obtain the energies and wave functions. The Dirac Hamiltonian is transformed into the intrinsic rotating coordinate system where prolate spheroidal coordinates are introduced. A set of basis functions is proposed which allows the evaluation of all matrix elements of the Dirac Hamiltonian analytically. The resulting matrix is diagonalized numerically. The finite nuclear charge distribution is also taken into account. Results are presented and discussed for various characteristic systems, e. g. Br-Br, Ni-Ni, I-I, Br-Zr, I-Au, U -U, etc.
Diese Thesis befasst sich mit dem Problem korrelierter Elektronensysteme in realen Materialien. Ausgangspunkt hierbei ist die quantenmechanische Beschreibung dieser Systeme im Rahmen der sogenannten Kohn-Scham Dichtefunktionaltheorie, welche die Elektronen der Kristallsysteme als effektiv nicht-wechselwirkende Teilchen beschreibt.
Während diese Modellierung im Falle vieler Materialklassen erfolgreich ist, unterscheiden sich die korrelierten Elektronensysteme dadurch, dass der kollektive Charakter der Elektronendynamik nicht zu vernachlässigen ist.
Um diese Korrelationseffekte genauer zu untersuchen, verwenden wir in dieser Arbeit das Hubbard-Modell, welches mit der projektiven Wannierfunktionsmethode aus der Kohn-Scham Dichtefunktionaltheorie konstruiert werden kann.
Das Hubbard-Modell umfasst hierbei nur die lokale Elektron-Elektron-Wechselwirkung auf einem Gitter. Auch wenn das Modell augenscheinlich sehr simpel ist, existieren exakte Lösungen nur in bestimmten Grenzfällen. Dies macht die Entwicklung approximativer Ansätze erforderlich, wobei die Weiterentwicklung der sogenannten Two-Particle Self-Consistent Methode (TPSC) eine zentrale Rolle dieser Arbeit einnimmt.
Bei TPSC handelt es sich um eine Vielteilchenmethode, die in der Sprache funktionaler Ableitungen und sogenannter conserving approximations hergeleitet werden kann.
Der zentrale Gedanke dabei ist, den effektiven Wechselwirkungsvertex als statisch und lokal zu approximieren. Dies wiederum erlaubt die Bewegungsgleichung des Systems
erheblich zu vereinfachen, sodass eine numerische approximative Lösung des Hubbard-Modells möglich wird. Vorsetzung hierbei ist nur, dass sich das System in der normalleitenden Phase befindet und die bei Phasenübergängen entstehenden Fluktuationen nicht zu groß sind.
Während diese Methode ursprünglich von Y. M. Vilk und A.-M. Tremblay für das Ein-Orbital Hubbard-Modell entwickelt wurde, stellen wir in dieser Arbeit eine Erweiterung auf Viel-Orbital-Systeme vor.
Im Falle mehrerer Orbitale treten in der TPSC-Herleitung einzelne Komplikationen auf, die mit weiteren Approximationen behandelt werden müssen. Diese werden anhand eines einfachen Zwei-Orbital Modell-Systems diskutiert und die TPSC-Ergebnisse werden darüber hinaus mit den Ergebnissen der etablierten dynamischen Molekularfeldnährung verglichen.
In diesem Zusammenhang werden auch mögliche zukünftige Erweiterungen bzw. Verbesserungen von TPSC diskutiert.
Ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt ist die Anwendung von TPSC auf reale Materialien.
In diesem Zusammenhang werden in dieser Arbeit die supraleitenden Eigenschaften der organischen K-(ET)2X Systeme untersucht. Hierbei lassen die TPSC-Resultate darauf schließen, dass das populäre Dimer-Modell, welches zur Beschreibung dieser Materialien herangezogen wird, nicht genügt um die experimentell bestimmten kritischen Temperaturen zu erklären und dass das komplexere Molekülmodell weitere exotische supraleitende Lösungen zulässt.
Schließlich untersuchen wir außerdem die elektronischen Eigenschaften des eisenbasierten Supraleiters LiFeAs und diskutieren inwieweit nicht-lokale Korrelationseffekte, welche durch TPSC aufgelöst werden können, die experimentellen Daten reproduzieren.
The Projectile Spectator Detector (PSD) of the CBM experiment at the future FAIR facility is a compensating lead-scintillator calorimeter designed to measure the energy distribution of the forward going projectile nucleons and nuclei fragments (reaction spectators) produced close to the beam rapidity. The detector performance for the centrality and reaction plane determination is reviewed based on Monte-Carlo simulations of gold-gold collisions by means of four different heavy-ion event generators. The PSD energy resolution and the linearity of the response measured at CERN PS for the PSD supermodule consisting of 9 modules are presented. Predictions of the calorimeter radiation conditions at CBM and response measurement of one PSD module equipped with neutron irradiated MPPCs used for the light read out are discussed.
The width of the ω meson in cold nuclear matter is computed in a hadronic many-body approach, focusing on a detailed treatment of the medium modifications of intermediate πρ states. The π and ρ propagators are dressed by their self-energies in nuclear matter taken from previously constrained many-body calculations. The pion self-energy includes Nh and Δh excitations with short-range correlations, while the ρ self-energy incorporates the same dressing of its 2π cloud with a full 3-momentum dependence and vertex corrections, as well as direct resonance-hole excitations; both contributions were quantitatively fit to total photo-absorption spectra and πN→ρN scattering. Our calculations account for in-medium decays of type ωN→πN(⁎),ππN(Δ), and 2-body absorptions ωNN→NN(⁎),πNN. This causes deviations of the in-medium ω width from a linear behavior in density, with important contributions from spacelike ρ propagators. The ω width from the ρπ cloud may reach up to 200 MeV at normal nuclear matter density, with a moderate 3-momentum dependence. This largely resolves the discrepancy of linear T–ϱ approximations with the values deduced from nuclear photoproduction measurements.
The phenomenon of magnetism has been known to humankind for at least over 2500 years and many useful applications of magnetism have been developed since then, starting from the compass to modern information storage and processing devices. While technological applications are an important part of the continuing interest in magnetic materials, their fundamental properties are still being studied, leading to new physical insights at the forefront of physics. The magnetism of magnetic materials is a pure quantum effect due to the electrons that carry an intrinsic spin of 1/2. The physics of interacting quantum spins in magnetic insulators is the main subject of this thesis.We focus here on a theoretical description of the antiferromagnetic insulator Cs2CuCl4. This material is highly interesting because it is a nearly ideal realization of the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on an anisotropic triangular lattice, where the Cu(2+) ions carry a spin of 1/2 and the spins interact via exchange couplings. Due to the geometric frustration of the triangular lattice, there exists a spin-liquid phase with fractional excitations (spinons) at finite temperatures in Cs2CuCl4. This spin-liquid phase is characterized by strong short-range spin correlations without long-range order. From an experimental point of view, Cs2CuCl4 is also very interesting because the exchange couplings are relatively weak leading to a saturation field of only B_c=8.5 T. All relevant parts of the phase diagram are therefore experimentally accessible. A recurring theme in this thesis will be the use of bosonic or fermionic representations of the spin operators which each offer in different situations suitable starting points for an approximate treatment of the spin interactions. The methods which we develop in this thesis are not restricted to Cs2CuCl4 but can also be applied to other materials that can be described by the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on a triangular lattice; one important example is the material class Cs2Cu(Cl{4-x}Br{x}) where chlorine is partially substituted by bromine which changes the strength of the exchange couplings and the degree of frustration.
Our first topic is the finite-temperature spin-liquid phase in Cs2CuCl4. We study this regime by using a Majorana fermion representation of the spin-1/2 operators motivated by theoretical and experimental evidence for fermionic excitations in this spin-liquid phase. Within a mean-field theory for the Majorana fermions, we determine the magnetic field dependence of the critical temperature for the crossover from spin-liquid to paramagnetic behavior and we calculate the specific heat and magnetic susceptibility in zero magnetic field. We find that the Majorana fermions can only propagate in one dimension along the direction of the strongest exchange coupling; this reduction of the effective dimensionality of excitations is known as dimensional reduction.
The second topic is the behavior of ultrasound propagation and attenuation in the spin-liquid phase of Cs2CuCl4, where we consider longitudinal sound waves along the direction of the strongest exchange coupling. Due to the dimensional reduction of the excitations in the spin-liquid phase, we expect that we can describe the ultrasound physics by a one-dimensional Heisenberg model coupled to the lattice degrees of freedom via the exchange-striction mechanism. For this one-dimensional problem we use the Jordan-Wigner transformation to map the spin-1/2 operators to spinless fermions. We treat the fermions within the self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation and we calculate the change of the sound velocity and attenuation as a function of magnetic field using a perturbative expansion in the spin-phonon couplings. We compare our theoretical results with experimental data from ultrasound experiments, where we find good agreement between theory and experiment.
Our final topic is the behavior of Cs2CuCl4 in high magnetic fields larger than the saturation field B_c=8.5 T. At zero temperature, Cs2CuCl4 is then fully magnetized and the ground state is therefore a ferromagnet where the excitations have an energy gap. The elementary excitations of this ferromagnetic state are spin-flips (magnons) which behave as hard-core bosons. At finite temperatures there will be thermally excited magnons that interact via the hard-core interaction and via additional exchange interactions. We describe the thermodynamic properties of Cs2CuCl4 at finite temperatures and calculate experimentally observable quantities, e.g., magnetic susceptibility and specific heat. Our approach is based on a mapping of the spin-1/2 operators to hard-core bosons, where we treat the hard-core interaction by the self-consistent ladder approximation and the exchange interactions by the self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation. We find that our theoretical results for the specific heat are in good agreement with the available experimental data.
Charmonia with different transverse momentum pT usually comes from different mechanisms in the relativistic heavy ion collisions. This work tries to review the theoretical studies on quarkonium evolutions in the deconfined medium produced in p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions. The charmonia with high pT are mainly from the initial hadronic collisions, and therefore sensitive to the initial energy density of the bulk medium. For those charmonia within 0.1 < pT < 5 GeV/c at the energies of Large Hadron Collisions (LHC), They are mainly produced by the recombination of charm and anti-charm quarks in the medium. In the extremely low pT ∼ 1/RA (RA is the nuclear radius), additional contribution from the coherent interactions between electromagnetic fields generated by one nucleus and the target nucleus plays a non-negligible role in the J/ψ production even in semi-central Pb-Pb collisions.
We have investigated and interpreted the production cross sections and isotopic distributions of projectile-like residues in the reactions 124Sn + 124Sn and 112Sn + 112Sn at an incident beam energy of 1 GeV/nucleon measured with the FRS fragment separator at the GSI laboratory. For the interpretation of the data, calculations within the statistical multifragmentation model (SMM) for an ensemble of excited sources were performed with ensemble parameters. The possible modification of symmetry energy parameter, in the multifragmentation region at the low density and hot freeze-out environment, is studied. It is reconfirmed that a significant reduction of the symmetry energy term is found necessary to reproduce experimental results at these conditions. We have also found a decreasing trend of the symmetry energy for large neutron-rich fragments of low excitation energy which is interpreted as a nuclear-structure effect.
Die vorliegende Arbeit befallt sich im theoretischen Teil mit den Grundlagen zu Strahl-Resonator-Wechselwirkungen bei Beschleunigerresonatoren und mit den sich daraus ergebenden Konsequenzen bei der Resonatorentwicklung für zukünftige lineare Kollider mit Multibunch-Betrieb. Zur Bekämpfung der vor allem im Multibunchbetrieb störenden Long-Range-Wakefelder müssen die schädlichen Moden möglichst so stark bedämpft werden, daß ihre Felder bis zum Eintreffen des nächsten Bunches auf ein erträgliches Maß abgeklungen sind. Im experimentellen Teil befaßt sich diese Arbeit daher mit der Entwicklung von Meßmethoden zur Bestimmung sehr kleiner Resonatorgüten sowie sehr kleiner transversaler Shuntimpedanzen bzw. sehr kleiner Feldpegel in stark störmodenbedämpften Beschleunigerresonatoren. Diese Meßmethoden sind an mehreren S-Band-Modellresonatoren (Betriebsfrequenz lag bei etwa 2.4 GHz) mit verschiedenen Dämpfungssystemen, die für den Einbau in einen normalleitenden Linearbeschleuniger für einen Kollider geeignet wären, erfolgreich getestet worden. Die Feldmessungen an den Modellresonatoren haben bisher unbekannte Gesetzmäßigkeiten bezüglich des Verhaltens dieser Dämpfungssysteme ergeben. In einer kurzen Beschreibung und Diskussion der sechs wichtigsten Vorschläge für zukünftige lineare Kollider wurde ein Überblick über die Unterschiede bei diesen verschiedenen Konzepten gegeben. Zunächst konnten über eine qualitative Diskussion der beim Linearbeschleuniger vom Iristyp vorkommenden Beam Blowup Phänomene, wie der regenerative BBU und der cumulative BBU, die Erscheinungsformen und die physikalischen Ursachen dieser BBU Phänomene verstanden werden. Hier zeigt sich, daß bei Irisstrukturen die HEM11-Moden die Hauptursache sowohl für den regenerativen- als auch für den cumulativen BBU sind. Der dritte Abschnitt führte in eine allgemeine Methode zur quantitativen Beschreibung der sogenannten Strahl-Resonator-Wechselwirkung ein. Diese Methode heißt Condon- Methode und erlaubt die Berechnung von BBU verursachenden Wakefeldern über eine Eigenwellenentwicklung aus den Eigenmoden des leeren Rersonators. Im vierten Abschnitt wurde durch die Herleitung des Theorems von Panofsky-Wenzel die Theorie der Strahl-Resonator-Wechselwirkung vervollständigt, wonach der einer Testladung während der Durchquerung eines felderfüllten Resonators mitgeteilte Transversalimpuls vollständig durch die räumliche Verteilung der elektrischen Longitudinalkomponente allein bestimmt ist. Damit erhält man also eine Aussage über die Wirkung der in Beschleunigerresonatoren feldanfachenden vorauslaufenden Ladungen auf die nachfolgenden. Dabei konnte auch die Frage geklärt werden, welche Moden zylindrischer Symmetrie wegen ihrer transversal ablenkenden Wirkung für den Teilchenstrahl gefährlich sind. Hier zeigt sich, daß alle BBU verursachenden Moden TM2np- bzw. TM2np-Moden sind, d.h., die Moden mit dipol- bzw. quadrupolartiger Symmetrie. Die Anwendung der in den Abschnitten drei und vier entwickelten Theorie zur Strahl-Resonator-Wechselwirkung konnte im Abschnitt fünf anhand dreier, für die Beschleunigerphysik sehr interessanter Beispiele gezeigt werden. Im ersten Beispiel gelang die Beschreibung der Wechselwirkung eines in Längsrichtung homogenen Strahls, welcher transversal Betatranschwingungen vollführt, mit der TM110-Mode eines Zylinderresonators. Dieses Beispiel ist von praktischer Bedeutung bei Linearbeschleunigern. die bei hohem Duty Cycle betrieben werden, also z.B. beim RACE TRACK Mikrotron oder bei supraleitenden Linacs. Beim zweiten Beispiel hat die Anwendung der Theorie auf eine Irisstruktur zu Formeln geführt, die sich Fair eine numerische Berechnung des Startstroms zum regenerativen BBU eignen, was jedoch relativ aufwendig ist. Es konnte aber auch eine einfache Abschätzungsformel für den Startstrom durch die Anwendung des Poyntingschen Satzes auf eine differentielle Länge des der Irisstruktur entsprechenden Wellenleiters abgeleitet werden. Aus der Bedingung, daß die durch den Strahl erzeugte Leistung pro Längeneinheit gleich den Leistungsverlusten pro Längeneinheit ist, findet man den Startstrom für den regenerativen BBU. Das letzte Beispiel, die Wechs 1 e Wirkung einer hochrelativistischen Punktladung mit einem beliebigen Resonator, ist auch das wichtigste. Hier wurden die Wakefelder aus einer simplen Energiebilanzbetrachtung abgeleitet, da eine Berechnung nach der Condon-Methode relativ aufwendig und langwierig wäre. Diese Vorgehensweise hat hier zu einem tieferen physikalischen Verständnis der Vorgänge im Resonator geführt. Die mit Hilfe einer Punktladung abgeleiteten Wakefelder sind Greensfunktionen. die zur quantitativen Beschreibung des cumulativen BBU’s bei linearen Kollidern benutzt werden können. Die Diskussion der anhand der Beispiele gewonnenen Ergebnisse am Ende des fiinften Abschnitts führte zu verschiedenen Maßnahmen zur Verringerung der schädlichen Strahl-Resonator-Wechselwirkung. Hier hat sich gezeigt, daß sowohl der regenerative BBU als auch der cumulative BBU u. a. durch eine Verringerung der Resonatorgüte der strahlstörenden Dipolmode verhindert werden können. Im sechsten Abschnitt erfolgte die noch ausstehende quantitative Beschreibung des cumulativen BBU mit Hilfe der im vorangehenden Abschnitt am dritten Beispiel gewonnenen Formeln für die Wakefelder. Die Berechnung der Strahlablage und Strahlrichtung geschieht hier über einen Matrizenformalismus, der aus der Idee heraus entstand, die Beschleunigersektionen des linearen Kolliders durch Resonatoren verschwindender Länge zu ersetzen. Uber den Matrizenformalismus konnte die durch den Einfluß von Beschleunigung, Fokussierung und Wakefeldern doch recht komplizierte Teilchenbewegung sehr elegant formuliert werden, jedoch eignet sich dieser Formalismus nur für numerische Zwecke. Abschätzungen sind in diesem allgemeinen Fall unmöglich. Durch die Einführung eines sehr restriktiven Modells, des sogenannten DAISY-CHAIN Modells, welches nur bei sehr stark bedämpften Beschleunigersektionen gültig ist. hat sich der Matrizenformalismus auf sehr einfache, der analytischen Berechnung zugängliche Gleichungen reduzieren lassen. Die Bedämpfung der Beschleunigersektionen muß dabei so stark sein, daß eine Ladung innerhalb einer ganzen Kette äquidistanter Ladungen nur ein signifikantes Wakefeld der unmittelbar vorrauslaufenden Ladung erfährt. Wie stark im Einzelfall bedämpft werden muß, um einen stabilen Transport einer Kette von Teilchenpaketen zu ermöglichen, konnte anhand zweier, in der Betriebsfrequenz unterschiedlicher Konzepte für normalleitende Linearbeschleuniger zukünftiger Kollider gezeigt werden. Dabei wurde deutlich, daß man bei ausschließlicher Anwendung von in Bezug auf die HEM11-pi-Mode stark bedämpften Beschleunigerstrukturen zur Kontrolle des cumulativen BBU bei einer hohen Betriebsfrequenz, z.B. im X-Band (11.45 GHz), sehr unbequem niedrige Gütewerte von ca. Q=5 erreichen muß. Das ist, wie sich im praktischen Teil der vorliegenden Arbeit gezeigt hat, vom technischen Aufwand her gesehen sehr schwierig. Für einen X-Band-Kollider wird man also eine Kombination von Maßnahmen zur Kontrolle des cumulativen BBU’s bevorzugen, z.B. neben dem Bedämpfen auch das sogenannte “Detunen” der Beschleunigersektionen. Bei einem Linearbeschleuniger im S-Band (Betriebsfrequenz bei 3 GHz) befindet man sich von vornherein bei ausschließlicher Verwendung gedämpfter Strukturen in bequemeren Gütebereichen Q ungefähr gleich 20-50, was ohne weiteres praktikabel ist. Aber auch hier kann man durch Zusatzmaßnahmen die Anforderungen an die Resonatordämpfung weiter reduzieren. Als erste Methode zur Bestimmung der Güte eines störmodenbedämpften Beschleunigerresonators wurde die Chipman-Methode angewendet. Meßobjekt war hier das dreizellige Modell einer Irisstruktur mit Halbzellenabschluß. Zur Auskopplung der dominanten Störmode, der sogenannten HEM11-Mode, war die mittlere Irisblende einseitig geschlitzt. Bei diesem Modell lag die Frequenz der als Beschleunigermode vorgesehenen TM010-2pi/3-Mode etwa bei 2.35 GHz und die Frequenz der dominanten Störmode, der HEM11-pi-Mode, lag bei etwa 2.81 GHz. Die mittlere geschlitzte Irisblende war austauschbar, so daß eine Messung der durch das Dämpfungssystem belasteten Güte QL bzw. des Koppelfaktors K in Abhängigkeit von der Schlitzhöhe möglich war. Die Messungen ließen sich bei diesem Koppelsystem ohne Schwierigkeiten durchrühren, bei der größten möglichen Schlitzhöhe von 10 mm wurde auch der größte Koppelfaktor mit 46 gemessen. Bei einer vom Dämpfungssystem unbelasteten Güte von Q0=4500 korrespondiert ein Koppelfaktor von K=46 mit einer durch das Dämpfungssystem belasteten Güte von QL = 100. Ein Mangel wurde bei der Anwendung der Chipman-Methode sofort sichtbar: Durch die Anregung der HEM11-pi-Mode von der Meßleitung aus sind im Koppelsystem offenbar Störmoden angeregt worden. Liegen diese Störmoden nahe bei der zu messenden Resonanz, dann ist eine präzise Bestimmung des Koppelfaktors unmöglich. Glücklicherweise war das hier nicht der Fall. Die Messungen mit der einseitig geschlitzten Irisblende haben gezeigt, daß dieses Dämpfungssystem Anwendung finden könnte bei Beschleunigerstrukturen im S-Band. wie sie z.B beim DESY/THD-Kollider vorgeschlagen wurden. Natürlich kann bei den hier erreichten Koppelfaktoren nicht die Dämpfung der schädlichen HEM11-pi- Mode die alleinige Maßnahme sein, die einseitig geschlitzte Irisblende könnte nur zusammen mit dem Detunen angewendet werden. Da die einseitig geschlitzte Irisblende auch eine Feldasymmetrie bei der Beschleunigermode erzeugt, müssen die Dämpfer entlang einer Beschleunigersektion alternierend angebracht werden, d.h. jeder Dämpfer ist im Bezug zum nächsten Nachbardämpfer um 90° gedreht. Die 90° ergeben sich aus der Notwendigkeit, auch die Dämpfung der zweit en Polarisationsebene der HEM11-pi-Mode zu gewährleisten. Als zweite, der Chipman-Methode sehr ähnliche Methode, wurde die Kurzschlußschiebermethode angewendet. Erstes Untersuchungsobjekt war die bei der Chipman- Methode bereits erwähnte dreizeilige Irisstruktur. Ein Vorteil im Vergleich zur Chipman-Methode ist vor allem die schnelle Durchführbarkeit der Messung bei wenig experimentellem Aufwand, wenn auch die Kurzschlußschiebermethode weniger präzise ist, und man auf einige Informationen, wie z.B. der Verlauf des Reflexionsfaktors und dessen Phase, verzichten muß. Im Vergleich mit der Chipman-Methode waren die mit der Kurzschlußschiebermethode gemessenen Koppelfaktoren immer um etwa 10-15% höher. Das liegt vor allem daran, daß die Theorie zur Kurzschlußschiebermethode von einem verlustfreien Resonator-Hohlleitersystem ausgeht, so daß die nach dieser Theorie ermitteten Koppelfaktoren prinzipiell zu groß sind. Auch bei dieser Methode hat sich gezeigt, daß eine Auswertung der Meßergebnisse scheitern muß, falls ein Modenüberlapp auftritt. Bei Experimenten mit komplizierteren Dämpfungssystemen, bestehend aus mehr als vier Hohlleitern an Resonatoren mit mehr als zwei Zellen ist deutlich geworden, daß eine Bestimmung des Koppelfaktors über die Kurzschlußschiebermethode durch die entstehende Modenvielfalt praktisch unmöglich ist. Es stellte sich heraus, daß bei der Auswertung der Meßergebnisse dadurch ein Fehler entsteht, wenigstens bei sehr starker Dämpfung, daß man die Feldverteilung als konstant animmt, denn bei dem Vergleich der unbelasteten Güte Q0 mit der vom Dämpfungssystem belasteten Güte QL geht man davon aus, daß die Feldverteilungen im ungedämpften- und gedämpften Fall identisch sind. Das kann bei Koppelfaktoren im Bereich von einigen zehn bis zu einigen hundert nicht mehr zutreffen, da das Feld der Mode immer stärker in das Dämpfungssystem eindringt, je stärker die Kopplung ist. Das ändert die Modengeometrie natürlich in dramatischer Weise und die belastete Güte QL kann dann nicht mehr einfach über die Gleichung QL=Q0/(1+ K) aus den gemessenen Größen Q, und K ausgerechnet werden, da der Koppelfaktor K nun nicht mehr konstant sein kann, sondern im Gegenteil sich sehr stark ändert, je nachdem an welcher Stelle die Felder gemessen werden. Ein weiterer Mangel bei beiden Methoden ist, daß über diese Methoden weder die longitudinale noch die transversale Shuntimpedanz bestimmt werden kann. Ein Ausweg aus diesem Dilemma war die Anwendung zweier neuer Meßmethoden, die Antennenmethode und die nichtresonante Störkörpermethode. Diese beiden Methoden beruhen im Gegensatz zu den ersten beiden Methoden auf einer direkten Bestimmung der Feldpegel bzw. der transversalen Shuntimpedanz im bedämpften Resonator was den Vorteil hat, daß im Resonator genau das Feld bzw. die Shuntimpedanz vermessen wird, welches die Teilchen bei der Durchquerung des Resonators auch tatsächlich sehen. Die Antennenmethode war eine komplette Neuentwicklung, während es sich bei der nichtresonante Störkörpermethode um die Anwendung einer seit 1966 bekannten, jedoch in Vergessenheit geratenen Theorie handelte. Beide Meßmethoden konnten am Beispiel eines im Bezug auf die TM110-Mode (Frequenz bei ca. 3.2 GHz) sehr stark bedämpften Zylinderresonators (Die Frequenz der TM010-Mode lag bei ca. 2.049 GHz) erfolgreich getestet werden. Die durch das Dämpfungssystem belastete Güte QL war hier ca. 10. Bei der Bestimmung der longitudinalen elektrischen Feldstärken bzw. der longitudinalen Shuntimpedanz der TM110-Mode in Abhängigkeit vom axialen Abstand vor und nach der Bedämpfung konnten zunächst folgende Feststellungen gemacht werden: 1) Die Modengeometrie im ungedämpften- und gedämpften Fall unterscheiden sich sehr stark voneinander. Dadurch mißt man verschiedene Koppelfaktoren, je nachdem an welcher Stelle man die Felder mißt. 2) der maximal gemessene Koppelfaktor liefert über die Gleichung QL=Q0/(1+K) die richtige beklastete Güte QL. 3) Der höchste Koppelfaktor wurde bei der Feldmessung in einem Achsortabstand vom halben Radius des Zylinderresonators gemessen. Da die beiden Meßmethoden das Verhältnis der elektrischen Feldstärkequadrate in Abhängigkeit vom Meßort vor und nach der Bedämpfung liefern, konnte die zweite Feststellung nur durch eine Kontrollmessung mit Hilfe der Kurzschlußschiebermethode, die hier dank des einfachen Aufbaus leicht durchfiihrbar war, gemacht werden. Die Kurzschlußschiebermessung lieferte eine Güte QL ungefähr gleich 9, während der höchste bzw. der niedrigste mit den beiden neuen Megmethoden ermittelte Koppelfaktor mit einer Güte von QL ungefähr gleich 11 bzw. mit einer Güte von QL ungefähr gleich 14 korrespondierte, d.h. also. daß der höchste gemessene Koppelfaktor für dieses Dämpfungssystem die richtige Resonatorgüte liefert. Anhand eines zweizeiligen Resonators (Die Frequenz der TM010-2pi/3-Beschleunigermode lag bei ca. 2.35 GHz) mit beidseitig geschlitzter Irisblende als Dämpfungssystem für die HEM11-pi-Mode (ca. 3.5 GHz) konnte gezeigt werden, daß die zweite Feststellung eine Gesetzmäßigkeit bei spiegelsymmetrischen Dämpfungssystemen ist. Im Unterschied zum Zylinderresonator wurde der höchste mit der richtigen bedämpften Güte QL ungefähr gleich 37 korrespondierend Koppelfaktor K ungefähr gleich 153 jedoch direkt auf der Resonatorachse gemessen. Die bedämpfte Güte wurde auch hier wieder mit Hilfe der Kurzschlußschiebermethode kontrolliert. Ein sehr interessantes Verhalten zeigte der gleiche zweizeilige Resonator mit einseitig geschlitzter Irisblende als Dämpfungssystem. Hier korrespondierte der in der Nähe der Resonatorwand gemessene niedrigste Koppelfaktor mit der bedämpften Güte QL ungefähr gleich 230 des Resonators. In Achsennähe hingegen war der Koppelfaktor etwa dreimal höher, K ungefähr gleich 82, als aus der der Güteerniedrigung K ungefähr gleich 35 nach der Dämpfung hervorgegangen wäre, die transversale Shuntimpedanz ist also auch etwa um den Faktor 3 erniedrigt. Durch dieses Verhalten ist der einseitig bedämpfte Resonator für die Verwendung bei einem linearen Kollider im S-Band (hier muß nicht so stark bedämpft werden) interessant geworden, denn wenn nur wenige Zellen einer Beschleunigersektion mit einem Dämpfungssystem ausgerüstet werden müssen, ist es wichtig in diesen Zellen ein effektives Dämpfungssystem bei Gewährleistung eines einwandfreien Transports der Feldenergie der HEM11-pi-Mode in diese gedämpften zu haben. Das funktioniert einerseits nur, wenn sich die Resonanzfrequenz der gedämpften Zellen in Bezug auf die HEM11-pi-Mode auf die Resonanzfrequenz der benachbarten ungedämpften Zellen einstellen läßt und andererseits die mit einer Dämpfung einhergehende schlechtere Anregungsfähigkeit dieser Störmode in den gedämpften Zellen nicht zu schlecht ist. Bei einer zu starken Dämpfung wäre beides nicht möglich. Zusammenfassend kann man sagen, daß durch die Antennen- und die nichtresonante Störkörpermethode ein für die Entwicklung von störmodenbedämpften Beschleunigerresonatoren für zukünftige lineare Kollider und natürlich auch anderer Elektronenbeschleuniger sehr wirksames Instrument zur Verfügung steht. Ein detailliertes Design eines für einen bestimmten Beschleuniger passenden Dämpfungssystems ist mit Hilfe dieser Meßmethoden möglich geworden, da kleine Unterschiede zwischen verschiedenen Ausführungen von Dämpfungssystemen meßbar sind. Durch die bei der Anwendung der Meßmethoden auf unterschiedliche bedämpfte Resonatoren gefundenen Gesetzmäßigkeiten ist unter anderem auch die Frage geklärt worden, auf welche Weise ein Dämpfungssystem auch auf numerischem Wege mit Hilfe von Computerprogrammen wie z.B. MAFIA berechnet werden kann.
Twisted heterostructures of van der Waals materials have received much attention for their many remarkable properties. Here, we present a comprehensive theory of the long-range ordered magnetic phases of twisted bilayer α-RuCl3 via a combination of first-principles calculations and atomistic simulations. While a monolayer exhibits zigzag antiferromagnetic order with three possible ordering wave vectors, a rich phase diagram is obtained for moiré superlattices as a function of interlayer exchange and twist angle. For large twist angles, each layer spontaneously picks a single zigzag ordering wave vector, whereas, for small twist angles, the ground state involves a combination of all three wave vectors in a complex hexagonal domain structure. This multi-domain order minimizes the interlayer energy while enduring the energy cost due to the domain wall formation. Our results indicate that magnetic frustration due to stacking-dependent interlayer exchange in moiré superlattices can be used to tune the magnetic ground state and enhance quantum fluctuations in α-RuCl3.
In the present work, the problem of protein folding is addressed from the point of view of equilibrium thermodynamics. The conformation of a globular protein in solution at common temperatures is quite complicated without any geometrical symmetry, but it is an ordered state in the sense of its biological activity. This complicated conformation of a single protein molecule is destroyed upon increasing the temperature or by the addition of appropriate chemical agents, as is revealed by the loss of its activity and change of the physical properties, and so on. Once the complicated native structures having biological activity are lost, it would be natural to suppose that the native structure could hardly be restored. Nevertheless, pioneers, such as Anson and Mirsky, recognized as early as in 1925 that this was not always the case. If one defines the folded and unfolded states of a protein as two distinct phases of a system, then under the variation of temperature the system is transformed from one phase state into another and vice versa. The process of protein folding is accompanied by the release or absorption of a certain amount of energy, corresponding to the first-oder-type phase transitions in the bulk. Knowing the partition function of the system one can evaluate its energy and heat capacity under different temperatures. This task was performed in this work. The results of the developed statistical mechanics model were compared with the results of molecular dynamic simulations of alanine poylpeptides. In particular, the dependencies on temperature of the total energy of the system and heat capacity were compared for alanine polypeptides consisting of 21, 30, 40, 50 and 100 amino acids. The good correspondence of the results of the theoretical model with the results of molecular dynamics simulations allowed to validate the assumptions made about the system and to establish the accuracy range of the theory. In order to perform the comparison of the results of theoretical model and the molecular dynamics simulations it is necessary to perform the efficient analysis of the results of molecular dynamics simulations. This task was also addressed in the present work. In particular, different ways to obtain dependence of the heat capacity on temperature from molecular dynamics simulations are discussed and the most efficient one is proposed. The present thesis reports the result of molecular dynamic simulations for not only alanine polypeptides by also for valine and leucine polypeptides. In valine and leucine polypeptides, it is also possible to observe the helix↔random coil transitions with the increase of temperature. The current thesis presents a work that starts with the investigation of the fundamental degrees of freedom in polypeptides that are responsible for the conformational transitions. Then this knowledge is applied for the statistical mechanics description of helix↔coil transitions in polypeptides. Finally, the theoretical formalism is generalized for the case of proteins in water environment and the comparison of the results of the statistical mechanics model with the experimental measurements of the heat capacity on temperature dependencies for two globular proteins is performed. The presented formalism is based on fundamental physical properties of the system and provides the possibility to describe the folding↔unfolding transitions quantitatively. The combination of these two facts is the major novelty of the presented approach in comparison to the existing ones. The “transparent” physical nature of the formalism provides a possibility to further apply it to a large variety of systems and processes. For instance, it can be used for investigation of the influence of the mutations in the proteins on their stability. This task is of primary importance for design of novel proteins and drug delivering molecules in medicine. It can provide further insights into the problem of protein aggregation and formation of amyloids. The problem of protein aggregation is closely associated with various illnesses such as Alzheimer and mad cow disease. With certain modifications, the presented theoretical method can be applied to the description of the protein crystallization process, which is important for the determination of the structure of proteins with X-Rays. There many other possible applications of the ideas described in the thesis. For instance, the similar formalism can be developed for the description of melting and unzipping of DNA, growth of nanotubes, formation of fullerenes, etc.
The RFQ direct injection project (RFQ-DIP) for the neutrino physics experiment IsoDAR aims at an efficient injection of a high-current H²⁺ beam into the dedicated 60 MeV driver cyclotron. Therefore, it is intended to use a compact 32.8 MHz RFQ structure of the split-coaxial type as a pre-buncher. To determine the thermal elongation of the 1.4 m long electrode rods as well as the thermal frequency detuning of the RF structure at a maximum nominal power load of 3.6 kW, an extensive thermal and structural mechanical analysis using COMSOL Multiphysics was conducted. The water heating along the cooling channels as well as the properties of heat transfer from the copper structure to the cooling water were taken into account, which required CFD simulations of the cooling water flow in the turbulent regime. Here we present the methods and results of the sophisticated thermal and structural mechanical simulations using COMSOL and provide a comparison to more simplistic simulations conducted with CST Studio Suite.
We study the effect of thermal charm production on charmonium regeneration in high energy nuclear collisions. By solving the kinetic equations for charm quark and charmonium distributions in Pb+Pb collisions, we calculate the global and differential nuclear modification factors RAA(Npart) and RAA(pt) for J/ψ s. Due to the thermal charm production in hot medium, the charmonium production source changes from the initially created charm quarks at SPS, RHIC and LHC to the thermally produced charm quarks at Future Circular Collider (FCC), and the J/ψ suppression (RAA<1) observed so far will be replaced by a strong enhancement (RAA>1) at FCC at low transverse momentum.
Thermal dilepton radiation from the hot fireballs created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions provides unique insights into the properties of the produced medium. We first show how the predictions of hadronic many-body theory for a melting ρ meson, coupled with quark–gluon plasma emission utilizing a modern lattice-QCD based equation of state, yield a quantitative description of dilepton spectra in heavy-ion collisions at the SPS and the RHIC beam energy scan program. We utilize these results to systematically extract the excess yields and their invariant-mass spectral slopes to predict the excitation function of fireball lifetimes and (early) temperatures, respectively. We thereby demonstrate that future measurements of these quantities can yield unprecedented information on basic fireball properties. Specifically, our predictions quantify the relation between the measured and maximal fireball temperature, and the proportionality of excess yield and total lifetime. This information can serve as a “caloric” curve to search for a first-order QCD phase transition, and to detect non-monotonous lifetime variations possibly related to critical phenomena.
In dieser Arbeit wurden thermodynamische Eigenschaften eines chiralen Quark Meson Modelles untersucht. Das chirale Quark Meson Model beschreibt die starke Wechselwirkung über den Austausch von Mesonen und zudem die thermische und dichteabhängige Entwicklung der Quarkmassen im Medium über die chirale Symmetrie.Im SU(2) Model wurde zunächst in mean field approximation gearbeitet, um im Anschluss den divergenten Vakuumterm mit einzubeziehen. Nach eingehender Untersuchung der Ergebnisse, wurden dann die thermischen Mesonenfluktuationen studiert. In beiden Ansätzen verschiebt die Nullpunktsenergie den chiralen Phasenübergang zu höheren Temperaturen, wodurch die Massen bei höheren Temperaturen entarten. Beide Ansätze wurden dann zu einem gemeinsamen Modell kombiniert, um den Einfluss der Mesonenfluktuationen auf Ordnungsparameter, Massen und thermodynamische Grössen zu untersuchen. Als Fazit der Studie kann behauptet werden, dass sich der Einfluss der Mesonenfluktuationen in grösserem Maÿ auf die Thermodynamik, als auf den Ordnungsparameter und die Massen auswirkt. Im SU(3) Modell wurden ebenfalls regularisiert und zudem Vektormesonen mitberücksichtigt, welche die Repulsion zwischen den einzelnen Freiheitsgraden modelliert. Die Zustandsgleichung wird durch den Vakuum Term etwas softer und zeigt ein ähnliches Verhalten im niederen Energiebereich. Untersucht wurde neben der Temperatur T, die Elektron Baryon Rate Ye, die Sigma Meson Masse noch der Einfluss der Vektorkopplung. Aus der Zustandsgleichung konntendann Isentropen im T-mu Phasendiagramm errechnet werden, welche in naher Zukunft Aufschluss über eine dritte Familie von kompakten Sternen in Zusammenhang mit der entsprechenden Supernova Explosion geben könnte. Um die Existenz von kompakten Sternen genauer zu analysieren, wurde das chiraleSU(3) Quark Meson Modell bei T = 0 benutzt, um über die aus dem Formalismusgewonnenen Grössen Druck und Energiedichte die Tolmann-Oppenheimer-Volkoff zu lösen. Diese stellen die Masse-Radius Beziehungen kompakter Objekte dar. Auf der Suche nach Twin Stern Lösungen aus dem chiralen SU(3) Quark Meson Model wurde zunächst ein Modell für Hybridsterne entwickelt. Im untersuchten Parameterbereich fanden wir Hybrid Stern Lösungen, bei welchen der Einfluss der Quarkmaterie auf die Stabilität des Sternes untersucht wurde, denn das Einsetzen des Phasenüberganges übt einen zusätzlichen gravitativen Zug auf die hadronische Kruste aus. Der Stern ist stabil, wenn der Druck der Quarkmaterie diesem zusätzlichen Zug standzuhalten vermag. Für einen zu grossen Sprung in der Energiedichte werden die Lösungen jedoch instabil. Zwillingssterne waren nicht unter den Lösungen, da der Übergangsdruck relativklein sein muss, während der Energiedichtesprung eher gross sein sollte. Das Auftreten zweier stabiler Äste in der Masse Radius Relation kann allerdingsmit dem SU(3) Modell und entsprechendem chiralen Phasenübergang modelliert werden. Für einen gewissen Parameterbereich einhergehend mit kleinem Wert des Vakuum Druckes B konnten Nicht-Linearitäten in der Zustangsgleichungzur Lösung der TOV Gleichung beitragen. Im Weitern ist das Zusammenspiel der Vektorkopplung und der Sigma Mesonen Masse einflussreich auf die Lösungen, welche auf Kausalität, Stabilität und neben der 2 Sonnenmassen Bedingung noch auf Restriktionen vom millisecond pulsar PSR J1748-2446ad untersucht wurden.Mit Weltraummissionen wie etwa NICER (Neutron star Interior CompositionExploreR) sollte die Radiusbestimmung kompakter Objekte in Zukunft bis auf einen Kilometer genau bestimmt werden können. Die Entdeckung von zweiSternen mit der gleichen Masse und unterschiedlichen Radien wäre in der Tat ein Beweis für die Existenz von Zwillingssternen, welche dann die Theorie des Phasenüberganges in dichter Materie untermauern würde. Das Kollaps-Szenario eines Zwillingssternes würde weiteren Aufschluss über Neutrino-Emmissivität, Gamma-ray burster und Gravitationswellen Signale geben können. Dynamische Simulationen in allgemein relativistischem Kontext für compact star merger mit den hier diskutierten Zustandsgleichungen sind bereits in Planung, um Eigenschaftenwie beispielsweise das Temperatur- und Dichteprofil solcher Objekte genauer zu analysieren.
Thermal expansion measurements provide a sensitive tool for exploring a material's thermodynamic
properties in condensed matter physics as they provide useful information
on the electronic, magnetic and lattice properties of a material. In this thesis, thermal
expansion measurements have been carried out both at ambient-pressure and under hydrostatic
pressure conditions. From the materials point of view, the spin-liquid candidate
Kappa-(BEDT-TTF) 2 Cu 2(CN)3 has been studied extensively as a function of temperature and
magnetic field. Azurite, Cu 3 (CO 3) 2 (OH) 2 - a realization of a one-dimensional distorted
Heisenberg chain is also studied both at ambient and hydrostatic pressure to demonstrate
the proper functioning of the newly built setup "thermal expansion under pressure". ...
We derive the thermal noise spectrum of the longitudinal and transverse electric field operator of a given wave vector starting from the quantum-statistical definitions and relate it to the frequency and wave vector dependent complex conductivity in a homogeneous, isotropic system of electromagnetic interacting charged particles in the frame of the non-relativistic QED. No additional assumptions except the validity of linear response are used in the proof. The Nyquist formula for vanishing frequency, as well as the noise spectral density of Callen-Welton follow as byproduct. Furthermore we discuss also the noise of the photon occupation numbers.
In this proceeding the emergence of a composite, adjoint-scalar field as an average over (trivial holonomy) calorons and anti-calorons is reviewed. This composite field acts as a background field to the dynamics of perturbative gluons, to which it is coupled via an effective, gauge invariant Lagrangian valid for temperatures above the deconfinement phase transition. Moreover a Higgs mechanism is induced by the composite field: two gluons acquire a quasi-particle thermal mass. On the phenomenological side the composite field acts as a bag pressure which shows a linear dependence on the temperature. As a result the linear rise with temperature of the trace anomaly is obtained and is compared to recent lattice studies.
It has been demonstrated that Statistical Hadronization Model fits perfectly to particle yields at freeze-out in heavy-ion and hadron collisions at LHC, RHIC and SPS, where quark-gluon plasma is created. It is however entirely not clear if particles emitted in the few-GeV energy regime can be understood as emerging from thermalized hadronic medium. Our recent work suggests that this might be the case. By implementing appropriate fireball geometry and expansion pattern in the THERMINATOR (THERMal heavy IoN generATOR) it was possible to describe not only yields, but also the spectra of most abundant particles measured at GSI SIS18. Most of the latter are pure prediction of the model. We present details of the model and extended comparison with experimental data and discuss further developments.
Off-central heavy-ion collisions are known to feature magnetic fields with magnitudes and characteristic gradients corresponding to the scale of the strong interactions. In this work, we employ equilibrium lattice simulations of the underlying theory, QCD, involving similar inhomogeneous magnetic field profiles to achieve a better understanding of this system. We simulate three flavors of dynamical staggered quarks with physical masses at a range of magnetic fields and temperatures, and extrapolate the results to the continuum limit. Analyzing the impact of the field on the quark condensate and the Polyakov loop, we find non-trivial spatial features that render the QCD medium qualitatively different as in the homogeneous setup, especially at temperatures around the transition. In addition, we construct leading-order chiral perturbation theory for the inhomogeneous background and compare its prediction to our lattice results at low temperature. Our findings will be useful to benchmark effective theories and low-energy models of QCD for a better description of peripheral heavy-ion collisions.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird versucht, die sog. selektiven Effekte der Ultrakurzwellentherapie (UKWT) thermisch zu erklären, und zwar durch die Temperaturschwingungen, welche durch die pulsierende Wärmebildung der Hochfrequenz(HF)-Bestrahlung in Mikroorganismen hervorgerufen werden. Bei Annahme verschiedener Mechanismen der Energieumsetzung in Wärme innerhalb oder an der Oberfläche von Teilchen, die sich in einem Suspensionsmedium befinden, wird eine Art thermische Resonanz (Selektivität) aufgefunden. Die Lage der Selektivität, abhängig von der Frequenz des HF-Feldes, der Teilchengröße und der Wärmeleitfähigkeit des Teilcheninneren und das Verhältnis der Temperaturamplitude des Teilchenmittelpunkts zur Umgebungstemperatur lassen die Vermutung zu, in Übereinstimmung mit experimentellen Befunden bei der UKWT, daß der Effekt zur Erklärung der Wirksamkeit dieser medizinischen Behandlungsmethode beiträgt. Zurückgreifend auf ältere Arbeiten wird der Anlaufvorgang des Temperaturfeldes in Mikroorganismen, der durch das Einschalten des HF-Feldes entsteht, untersucht, durch einen Modellversuch gestützt und seine Bedeutung für die UKWT, die vielfach angenommen wurde, der Kürze der Anlaufzeiten wegen in Frage gestellt.
Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Wasserkühlung einer normalleitenden CH-Kavität. Insbesondere stellt sich die Frage, ob die im CST Thermal Steady State Solver simulierten Temperaturen mit Messungen während High Power Tests übereinstimmen. Zusätzlich interessiert, inwiefern die Temperatur über die dissipierte Leistung aus dem CST Eigenmode Solver und dem gemessenen Volumenstrom im Kanal abgeschätzt werden kann. In dem Kontext wird auch geklärt, ob die Reihenschaltung der Mantelkanäle den Kühlanforderungen genügt.
Neben Volumenstrom- und Druckmessungen an den in Reihe und parallelgeschalteten Kanälen werden die Leistungs- und Temperaturwerte der Konditionierung in sämtlichen Simulationen aufgegriffen. Indem die Kavität in einzelne Sektionen unterteilt wird und in diesen die dissipierte Leistung mit dem Eigenmode Solver simuliert wird, die ein Kühlkanal abführt, werden die Temperaturerhöhungen direkt berechnet und verglichen.
Zusammengefasst hat sich der Durchfluss in kritischen Bauteilen wie den Stützen durch die Reihenschaltung der Mantelkanäle erhöht und wird damit empfohlen. Es werden die simulierten Temperaturverteilungen gezeigt. Die Näherung über den Eigenmode Solver liefert erneut für die thermisch belasteten Bauteile wie die Stützen präzise Vorhersagen.
Abschließend werden Erfahrungen aus dem Institut in dieser Arbeit zusammengetragen und die Verwendung des Steady State Solver freigegeben.
We develop a framework to relate proton number cumulants measured in heavy-ion collisions within a momentum space acceptance to the susceptibilities of baryon number, assuming that particles are emitted from a fireball with uniform distribution of temperature and baryochemical potential, superimposed on a hydrodynamic flow velocity profile. The rapidity acceptance dependence of proton cumulants measured by the HADES Collaboration in √sNN = 2.4 GeV Au-Au appears to be consistent with thermal emission of nucleons from a grand-canonical heat bath, with the extracted baryon number susceptibilities exhibiting an hierarchy χB 4 >> −χB 3 >> χB 2 >> χB 1 . Naively, this could indicate large nonGaussian fluctuations that might point to the presence of the QCD critical point close to the chemical freeze-out at T ∼ 70 MeV and μB ∼ 850 − 900 MeV. However, the description of the experimental data at large rapidity acceptances becomes challenging once the effect of exact baryon number conservation is incorporated, suggesting that more theoretical and experimental studies are needed to reach a firm conclusion.
This thesis aimed at identifying and understanding the interplay of charge and lattice degrees of freedom at metal-insulator transitions that are driven by strong electron correlations, i.e., Mott and charge-order metal-insulator transitions. To this end, measurements of the thermal expansion were performed, which have proven to be particularly suited to deliver insight into the role of lattice degrees of freedom in strongly correlated electron systems. Prime examples of such systems are the herein studied organic charge-transfer salts which stand out by a high tunability of the interaction strength.
The central topic of this thesis was the investigation of the universal behavior of the pressure-induced finite-temperature Mott critical endpoint in the organic charge-transfer salt kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl. In the present work, it was proven experimentally that lattice effects play a crucial role for the universal behavior, in contrast to the assumption made in previous works.
We investigate the phase structure of strongly interacting matter at non-vanishing isospin before the onset of pion condensation in the framework of the unquenched Polyakov–Quark-Meson model with 2+1 quark flavors. We show results for the order parameters and all relevant thermodynamic quantities. In particular, we obtain a moderate change of the pressure with isospin at vanishing baryon chemical potential, whereas the chiral condensate decreases more appreciably. We compare the effective model to recent lattice data for the decrease of the pseudo-critical temperature with the isospin chemical potential. We also demonstrate the major role played by the value of the pion mass in the curvature of the transition line, and the need for lattice results with a physical pion mass. Limitations of the model at nonzero chemical potential are also discussed.
Hadron lists based on experimental studies summarized by the Particle Data Group (PDG) are a crucial input for the equation of state and thermal models used in the study of strongly-interacting matter produced in heavy-ion collisions. Modeling of these strongly-interacting systems is carried out via hydrodynamical simulations, which are followed by hadronic transport codes that also require a hadronic list as input. To remain consistent throughout the different stages of modeling of a heavy-ion collision, the same hadron list with its corresponding decays must be used at each step. It has been shown that even the most uncertain states listed in the PDG from 2016 are required to reproduce partial pressures and susceptibilities from Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics with the hadronic list known as the PDG2016+. Here, we update the hadronic list for use in heavy-ion collision modeling by including the latest experimental information for all states listed in the Particle Data Booklet in 2021. We then compare our new list, called PDG2021+, to Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics results and find that it achieves even better agreement with the first principles calculations than the PDG2016+ list. Furthermore, we develop a novel scheme based on intermediate decay channels that allows for only binary decays, such that PDG2021+ will be compatible with the hadronic transport framework SMASH. Finally, we use these results to make comparisons to experimental data and discuss the impact on particle yields and spectra.
We study the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature within a Polyakov-loop extended quark–meson model. Such a model describes the chiral as well as the confinement-deconfinement dynamics. In the present investigation, based on the approach and results put forward in [1], [2], [3], [4], both matter and glue fluctuations are included. We present results for the order parameters as well as some thermodynamic observables and find very good agreement with recent results from lattice QCD.
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is a powerful method to elucidate subcellular architecture and to structurally analyse biomolecules in situ by subtomogram averaging (STA). Specimen thickness is a key factor affecting cryo-ET data quality. Cells that are too thick for transmission imaging can be thinned by cryo-focused-ion-beam (cryo-FIB) milling. However, optimal specimen thickness for cryo-ET on lamellae has not been systematically investigated. Furthermore, the ions used to ablate material can cause damage in the lamellae, thereby reducing STA resolution. Here, we systematically benchmark the resolution depending on lamella thickness and the depth of the particles within the sample. Up to ca. 180 nm, lamella thickness does not negatively impact resolution. This shows that there is no need to generate very thin lamellae and thickness can be chosen such that it captures major cellular features. Furthermore, we show that gallium-ion-induced damage extends to depths of up to 30 nm from either lamella surface.
The extension of the nuclear two-centre-oscillator to three and four centres is investigated. Some special symmetry-properties are required. In two cases an analytical solution of the Schrödinger equation is possible. A numerical procedure is developed which enables the diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in a non-orthogonal basis without applying Schmidt's method of orthonormalization. This is important for calculations of arbitrary two-dimensional arrangements of the centres.
Vibrational energy transfer (VET) is essential for protein function. It is responsible for efficient energy dissipation in reaction sites, and has been linked to pathways of allosteric communication. While it is understood that VET occurs via backbone as well as via non-covalent contacts, little is known about the competition of these two transport channels, which determines the VET pathways. To tackle this problem, we equipped the β-hairpin fold of a tryptophan zipper with pairs of non-canonical amino acids, one serving as a VET injector and one as a VET sensor in a femtosecond pump probe experiment. Accompanying extensive non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations combined with a master equation analysis unravel the VET pathways. Our joint experimental/computational endeavor reveals the efficiency of backbone vs. contact transport, showing that even if cutting short backbone stretches of only 3 to 4 amino acids in a protein, hydrogen bonds are the dominant VET pathway.
In this work, the complex structure of ionization and dissociation pathways on the potential energy curves in small molecules were investigated that are initiated by the absorption of a sequence of multi-color pulses in the XUV, VUV, and IR spectrum. Femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy was used to track the evolution of nuclear dynamics in neutral hydrogen molecules. Previously unpublished excitation and ionization pathways leading to the dissociative ionization of hydrogen molecules were investigated by employing 3D momentum imaging spectroscopy. These studies were extended to oxygen molecules where an XUV attosecond pulse train coherently ionized several electronic states of O2+ followed by the dissociation of the molecule via multiple pathways. The infrared electric field of the driving laser was then used to couple the electronic and nuclear wave-packets, thus, manipulating the dissociation dynamics of the molecule on an attosecond time scale.
In order to perform the experiments presented here, a novel experimental setup was developed and constructed. It combines an existing high-flux High Harmonic Generation light source that delivers attosecond pulse trains in the VUV and XUV spectrum with a state-of-the-art 3D momentum imaging apparatus (COLTRIMS), as well as a beamline consisting of several experimental tools enabling the selection, characterization, and propagation of the photon spectrum.
Time resolved measurements of the biased disk effect at an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source
(1999)
First results are reported from time resolved measurements of ion currents extracted from the Frankfurt 14 GHz Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source with pulsed biased-disk voltage. It was found that the ion currents react promptly to changes of the bias. From the experimental results it is concluded that the biased disk effect is mainly due to improvements of the extraction conditions for the source and/or an enhanced transport of ions into the extraction area. By pulsing the disk voltage, short current pulses of highly charged ions can be generated with amplitudes significantly higher than the currents obtained in continuous mode.
Traditional latency-limited trigger architectures typical for conventional experiments are inapplicable for the CBM experiment. Instead, CBM will ship and collect time-stamped data into a readout buffer in a form of a time-slice of a certain length and deliver it to a large computer farm, where online event reconstruction and selection will be performed. Grouping measurements into physical collisions must be performed in software and requires reconstruction not only in space, but also in time, the so-called 4-dimensional track reconstruction and event building. The tracks, reconstructed with 4D Cellular Automaton track finder, are combined into event-corresponding clusters according to the estimated time in the target position and the errors, obtained with the Kalman Filter method. The reconstructed events are given as inputs to the KF Particle Finder package for short-lived particle reconstruction. The results of time-based reconstruction of simulated collisions in CBM are presented and discussed in details.
The neutron capture cross section of several key unstable isotopes acting as branching points in the s-process are crucial for stellar nucleosynthesis studies, but they are very challenging to measure due to the difficult production of sufficient sample material, the high activity of the resulting samples, and the actual (n,γ) measurement, for which high neutron fluxes and effective background rejection capabilities are required. As part of a new program to measure some of these important branching points, radioactive targets of 147Pm and 171Tm have been produced by irradiation of stable isotopes at the ILL high flux reactor. Neutron capture on 146Nd and 170Er at the reactor was followed by beta decay and the resulting matrix was purified via radiochemical separation at PSI. The radioactive targets have been used for time-of-flight measurements at the CERN n_TOF facility using the 19 and 185 m beam lines during 2014 and 2015. The capture cascades were detected using a set of four C6D6 scintillators, allowing to observe the associated neutron capture resonances. The results presented in this work are the first ever determination of the resonance capture cross section of 147Pm and 171Tm. Activation experiments on the same 147Pm and 171Tm targets with a high-intensity 30 keV quasi-Maxwellian flux of neutrons will be performed using the SARAF accelerator and the Liquid-Lithium Target (LiLiT) in order to extract the corresponding Maxwellian Average Cross Section (MACS). The status of these experiments and preliminary results will be presented and discussed as well.
This thesis serves two main purposes:
1. The introduction of a novel experimental method to investigate phase change dynamics of supercooled liquids
2. First-time measurements for the crystallization behaviour for hydrogen isotopes under various conditions
1) The new method is established by the synergy of a liquid microjet of ~ 5 µm diameter and a scattering technique with high spatial resolution, here linear Raman spectroscopy. Due to the high directional stability and the known velocity of the liquid filament, its traveling axis corresponds to a time axis static in space. Utilizing evaporative cooling in a vacuum environment, the propagating liquid cools down rapidly and eventually experiences a phase transition to the crystalline state. This temporal evolution is probed along the filament axis, ultimately resulting in a time resolution of 10 ns. The feasibility of this approach is proven successfully within the following experiments.
2) A main object of study are para-hydrogen liquid filaments. Raman spectra reveal a temperature gradient of the liquid across the filament. This behaviour can quantitatively be reconstructed by numerical simulations using a layered model and is rooted in the effectiveness of evaporative cooling on the surface and a finite thermal conductivity. The deepest supercoolings achieved are ~ 30% below the melting point, at which the filament starts to solidify from the surface towards the core. With a crystal growth velocity extracted from the data the appropriate growth mechanism is identified. The crystal structure that initially forms is metastable and probably the result of Ostwald’s rule of stages. Indications for a transition within the solid towards the stable equilibrium phase support this interpretation.
The analog isotope ortho-deuterium is evidenced to behave qualitatively similar with quantitative differences being mass related.
In further measurements, isotopic mixtures of para-hydrogen and ortho-deuterium are investigated. It is found that the crystallization process starts earlier and lasts significantly longer compared to the pure substances with the maximum values between 20-50% ortho-deuterium content. A solely temperature based explanation for this effect can be excluded. The difference in the quantum character and hence effective size of the isotopes suggests a strong influence of the progressing liquid-solid-interface. Small dilutions of each para-hydrogen and ortho-deuterium with neon show an even more extended crystallization process compared to above isotopic mixtures. Additionally, the crystal is strongly altered in favor of the equilibrium lattice structure of neon.
A 5-gap timing RPC equipped with patterned electrodes coupled to both charge-sensitive and timing circuits yields a time accuracy of 77 ps along with a position accuracy of 38 μm. These results were obtained by calculating the straight-line fit residuals to the positions provided by a 3-layer telescope made out of identical detectors, detecting almost perpendicular cosmic-ray muons. The device may be useful for particle identification by time-of-flight, where simultaneous measurements of trajectory and time are necessary.
Top-down influences on ambiguous perception: the role of stable and transient states of the observer
(2014)
The world as it appears to the viewer is the result of a complex process of inference performed by the brain. The validity of this apparently counter-intuitive assertion becomes evident whenever we face noisy, feeble or ambiguous visual stimulation: in these conditions, the state of the observer may play a decisive role in determining what is currently perceived. On this background, ambiguous perception and its amenability to top-down influences can be employed as an empirical paradigm to explore the principles of perception. Here we offer an overview of both classical and recent contributions on how stable and transient states of the observer can impact ambiguous perception. As to the influence of the stable states of the observer, we show that what is currently perceived can be influenced (1) by cognitive and affective aspects, such as meaning, prior knowledge, motivation, and emotional content and (2) by individual differences, such as gender, handedness, genetic inheritance, clinical conditions, and personality traits and by (3) learning and conditioning. As to the impact of transient states of the observer, we outline the effects of (4) attention and (5) voluntary control, which have attracted much empirical work along the history of ambiguous perception. In the huge literature on the topic we trace a difference between the observer's ability to control dominance (i.e., the maintenance of a specific percept in visual awareness) and reversal rate (i.e., the switching between two alternative percepts). Other transient states of the observer that have more recently drawn researchers' attention regard (6) the effects of imagery and visual working memory. (7) Furthermore, we describe the transient effects of prior history of perceptual dominance. (8) Finally, we address the currently available computational models of ambiguous perception and how they can take into account the crucial share played by the state of the observer in perceiving ambiguous displays.
Motivated by recently reported magnetic-field induced topological phases in ultracold atoms and correlated Moiré materials, we investigate topological phase transitions in a minimal model consisting of interacting spinless fermions described by the Hofstadter model on a square lattice. For interacting lattice Hamiltonians in the presence of a commensurate magnetic flux it has been demonstrated that the quantized Hall conductivity is constrained by a Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM)-type theorem due to magnetic translation symmetry. In this work, we revisit the validity of the theorem for such models and establish that a topological phase transition from a topological to a trivial insulating phase can be realized but must be accompanied by spontaneous magnetic translation symmetry breaking caused by charge ordering of the spinless fermions. To support our findings, the topological phase diagram for varying interaction strength is mapped out numerically with exact diagonalization for different flux quantum ratios and band fillings using symmetry indicators. We discuss our results in the context of the LSM-type theorem.
We study the impact of the Gradient Flow on the topology in various models of lattice field theory. The topological susceptibility Xt is measured directly, and by the slab method, which is based on the topological content of sub-volumes (“slabs”) and estimates Xt even when the system remains trapped in a fixed topological sector. The results obtained by both methods are essentially consistent, but the impact of the Gradient Flow on the characteristic quantity of the slab method seems to be different in 2-flavour QCD and in the 2d O(3) model. In the latter model, we further address the question whether or not the Gradient Flow leads to a finite continuum limit of the topological susceptibility (rescaled by the correlation length squared, ξ2). This ongoing study is based on direct measurements of Xt in L × L lattices, at L/ξ ≃6.
We study the properties of the survival probability of an unstable quantum state described by a Lee Hamiltonian. This theoretical approach resembles closely Quantum Field Theory (QFT): one can introduce in a rather simple framework the concept of propagator and Feynman rules, Within this context, we re-derive (in a detailed and didactical way) the well-known result according to which the amplitude of the survival probability is the Fourier transform of the energy distribution (or spectral function) of the unstable state (in turn, the energy distribution is proportional to the imaginary part of the propagator of the unstable state). Typically, the survival probability amplitude is the starting point of many studies of non-exponential decays. This work represents a further step toward the evaluation of the survival probability amplitude in genuine relativistic QFT. However, although many similarities exist, QFT presents some differences w.r.t. the Lee Hamiltonian which should be studied in the future.
The chiral critical surface is a surface of second order phase transitions bounding the region of
first order chiral phase transitions for small quark masses in the fmu;d;ms;mg parameter space.
The potential critical endpoint of the QCD (T;m)-phase diagram is widely expected to be part of
this surface. Since for m = 0 with physical quark masses QCD is known to exhibit an analytic
crossover, this expectation requires the region of chiral transitions to expand with m for a chiral
critical endpoint to exist. Instead, on coarse Nt = 4 lattices, we find the area of chiral transitions
to shrink with m, which excludes a chiral critical point for QCD at moderate chemical potentials
mB < 500 MeV. First results on finer Nt = 6 lattices indicate a curvature of the critical surface
consistent with zero and unchanged conclusions. We also comment on the interplay of phase
diagrams between the Nf = 2 and Nf = 2+1 theories and its consequences for physical QCD.
The properties of matter at finite baryon densities play an important role for the astrophysics of compact stars as well as for heavy ion collisions or the description of nuclear matter. Because of the sign problem of the quark determinant, lattice QCD cannot be simulated by standard Monte Carlo at finite baryon densities. I review alternative attempts to treat dense QCD with an effective lattice theory derived by analytic strong coupling and hopping expansions, which close to the continuum is valid for heavy quarks only, but shows all qualitative features of nuclear physics emerging from QCD. In particular, the nuclear liquid gas transition and an equation of state for baryons can be calculated directly from QCD. A second effective theory based on strong coupling methods permits studies of the phase diagram in the chiral limit on coarse lattices.
Towards a THz Bloch laser
(2011)
The realisation of tunable THz laser sources working at room temperature would give
rise to further applications in this range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The THz
Bloch laser could therefore become the basis for a technological breakthrough. Beside
this practical relevance, the physics of the gain mechanism has been investigated
theoretically for a long time and the experimental implementation of a self-starting
laser still has not been achieved.
At the beginning of this thesis the basic principles of Bloch oscillations and the
related Bloch gain are described. The need of a superlattice structure to make Bloch
oscillations possible in a semiconductor material is discussed. In this context, the effect
of negative differential resistance and its influence on the field distribution due to Gunn
domains is explained. The latter lead to an inhomogeneous field which may suppress
the Bloch gain mechanism. The Krömer criterion is introduced and the concept of
field-pinning layers to improve the field homogeneity is deduced. Finally, the design of
the laser material is shown and different types of laser waveguides are compared.
In chapter 3 detailed recipes for the processing of samples are given. Different types of
contacts (ohmic and Schottky), the wafer bonding process required for double-metal
lasers and the application of different photoresists for different purposes are described.
An explanation of the formation of waveguides due to dry etching, wet etching
and ion implantation follows. Dry etching is an established technique in the field
of microstructure processing but the challenge of etching about 20 μm has led to
problems. The high etching depth also makes wet etching difficult but this method
could be improved due to a hard bake of the photoresist. The protection of critical
areas on the surface of the samples with photoresist during ion implantation was
increased by optimising the spin coating process. However, a full implantation of the
active layer between the waveguides was not achieved which was the reason for the
development of the hybrid technology. Here a prior wet etching of about 10 μm is
performed and the rest of the material is implanted.
The experimental setup is shown in chapter 4. An alternative method for the electrical
contacting with the help of a copper bar is introduced. This improves the current
distribution and the risk of an electrical breakdown during the measurements could
therefore be lowered. Devices for THz beam guidance and spectroscopic measurements
are shown and the method of biasing the samples with pulses below 100 ns and
determining the effective voltage applied to the sample is depicted. These short pulses
are required to prevent the samples heating up drastically due to high power.
Chapter 5 contains the current-voltage characterisation of several structures including
I-V-samples, Bloch laser samples and a quantum cascade laser. Different contacts
(ohmic and Schottky) and different techniques for the formation of the ridges have
been used in the processing of these samples (performed at the University of Frankfurt
in all cases) and their influence on the I-V-dependence is discussed. The properties of
the THz emission of the quantum cascade laser are in good agreement with published
results from lasers processed with the same material. Another important result of
this chapter is that the Bloch laser samples show unstable behaviour compared to the
quantum cascade structure even with short pulses (of about 10 ns) where the risk of an
electrical breakdown or the building of filaments is low. THz radiation emitted from
one of the Bloch laser samples could not be observed.
Two aspects that may have prevented the Bloch laser to emit are discussed in
chapter 6. The saturation of the gain for higher amplitudes of the THz wave is
investigated in single mode and multiple mode operation (the latter could occur due
to the Bloch gain being expected to be broadband). In both cases it is shown that
the saturation effect would limit the output power only to values clearly above the
detection limit. In the subsequent section the distribution of the electric field is
simulated with SILVACO software. Structures with transit layer lengths above the
Krömer criterion are compared with structures which include field-pinning layers. It is
shown that the latter are useful to avoid propagating Gunn domains as they build up
in similar structures without field-pinning layers. Nevertheless, the electric field inside
the superlattice regions is not stable. Beside spatial inhomogeneities also temporal
variations of the field magnitude are observed. The lack of a suitable field distribution
is expected to be the main reason for the samples not to work.
Stored and cooled, highly-charged ions offer unprecedented capabilities for precision studies in the realm of atomic, nuclear structure and astrophysics[1]. After the successful investigation of the 96Ru(p,7)97Rh reaction cross section in 2009[2], the first measurement of the 124Xe(p,7)125Cs reaction cross section has been performed with decelerated, fully-ionized 124Xe ions in 2016 at the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) of GSI[3]. Using a Double Sided Silicon Strip Detector, introduced directly into the ultra-high vacuum environment of a storage ring, the 125Cs proton-capture products have been successfully detected. The cross section has been measured at 5 different energies between 5.5AMeV and 8AMeV, on the high energy tail of the Gamow-window for hot, explosive scenarios such as supernovae and X-ray binaries. The elastic scattering on the H2 gas jet target is the major source of background to count the (p,7) events. Monte Carlo simulations show that an additional slit system in the ESR in combination with the energy information of the Si detector will enable background free measurements of the proton-capture products. The corresponding hardware is being prepared and will increase the sensitivity of the method tremendously.

We report on the first steps of an ongoing project to add gauge observables and gauge corrections
to the well-studied strong coupling limit of staggered lattice QCD, which has been shown earlier
to be amenable to numerical simulations by the worm algorithm in the chiral limit and at finite
density. Here we show how to evaluate the expectation value of the Polyakov loop in the framework
of the strong coupling limit at finite temperature, allowing to study confinement properties
along with those of chiral symmetry breaking. We find the Polyakov loop to rise smoothly, thus
signalling deconfinement. The non-analytic nature of the chiral phase transition is reflected in the
derivative of the Polyakov loop. We also discuss how to construct an effective theory for non-zero
lattice coupling, which is valid to O(b).
We analyze general convergence properties of the Taylor expansion of observables to finite chemical potential in the framework of an effective 2+1 flavor Polyakov-quark-meson model. To compute the required higher order coefficients a novel technique based on algorithmic differentiation has been developed. Results for thermodynamic observables as well as the phase structure obtained through the series expansion up to 24th order are compared to the full model solution at finite chemical potential. The available higher order coefficients also allow for resummations, e.g. Padé series, which improve the convergence behavior. In view of our results we discuss the prospects for locating the QCD phase boundary and a possible critical endpoint with the Taylor expansion method.
HADES (High Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer), located at GSI, is a versatile detector for precise spectroscopy of e+ e- pairs and charged hadrons produced on a fixed target in a 1 to 3.5 AGeV kinetic beam energy region. The main experimental goal is to investigate properties of dense nuclear matter created in heavy ion collisions and learn about in-medium hadron properties.
In the HADES set-up 24 Mini Drift Chambers (MDC) allow for track reconstruction and determining the particle momentum by exploiting charged particle deflection in a magnetic field. In addition, the drift chambers contribute to particle identification by measuring the energy loss. The read-out concept foresees each sensing wire to be equipped with a preamplifier, analog pulse shaper and discriminator. In the current front-end electronics, the ASD-8 ASIC comprises the above modules. Due to limitations of the current on-board time to digital converters (TDC), especially regarding higher reaction rates expected at the future FAIR facility (HADES at SIS-100), the electronics need to be replaced by new board featuring multi-hit TDCs. Whereas ASD-8 chips cannot be procured anymore, a promising replacement candidate is the PASTTREC ASIC, developed by JU Krakow, which was tested w.r.t. suitability for MDC read-out in a variety of set-ups and, where possible, in direct comparison to ASD-8.
The timing precision, being the most crucial performance parameter of the joint system of detector and read-out electronics, was assessed in two different set-ups, i.e. a cosmic muon tracking set-up and a beam test at the COSY accelerator at Juelich using a minimum ionizing proton beam.
The beam test results were reproduced and can thus be quantitatively explained in a three dimensional GARFIELD simulation of a HADES MDC drift cell. In particular, the simulation is able to describe the characteristic dependence of the time precision on the track position within the cell.
A circuit simulation (SPICE) was used to closely model the time development of a raw drift chamber pulse, measured as a response to X-rays from a 55 Fe source. The insights gained from this model were used for attributing realistic charge values to the time over threshold values measured with the read-out ASICs in a charge calibration set-up. Furthermore, a high-level circuit simulation of the PASTTREC shaper is implemented to serve as a demonstration of the effect of the individual shaping and tail cancellation stages which are present in both ASICs.
The study of lattice gauge theories with Monte Carlo simulations is hindered by the infamous sign problem that appears under certain circumstances, in particular at non-zero chemical potential. So far, there is no universal method to overcome this problem. However, recent years brought a new class of non-perturbative Hamiltonian techniques named tensor networks, where the sign problem is absent. In previous work, we have demonstrated that this approach, in particular matrix product states in 1+1 dimensions, can be used to perform precise calculations in a lattice gauge theory, the massless and massive Schwinger model. We have computed the mass spectrum of this theory, its thermal properties and real-time dynamics. In this work, we review these results and we extend our calculations to the case of two flavours and non-zero chemical potential. We are able to reliably reproduce known analytical results for this model, thus demonstrating that tensor networks can tackle the sign problem of a lattice gauge theory at finite density
The creation of loosely bound objects in heavy ion collisions, e.g. light clusters, near the phase transition temperature () has been a puzzling observation that seems to be at odds with Big Bang nucleosynthesis suggesting that deuterons and other clusters are formed only below a temperature . We solve this puzzle by showing that the light cluster abundancies in heavy ion reactions stay approximately constant from chemical freeze-out to kinetic freeze-out. To this aim we develop an extensive network of coupled reaction rate equations including stable hadrons and hadronic resonances to describe the temporal evolution of the abundancies of light (anti-)(hyper-)nuclei in the late hadronic environment of an ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision. It is demonstrated that the chemical equilibration of the light nuclei occurs on a very short timescale as a consequence of the strong production and dissociation processes. However, because of the partial chemical equilibrium of the stable hadrons, including the nucleon feeding from Δ resonances, the abundancies of the light nuclei stay nearly constant during the evolution and cooling of the hadronic phase. This solves the longstanding contradiction between the thermal fits and the late stage coalescence (and the Big Bang nucleosynthesis) and explains why the observed light cluster yields are compatible with both a high chemical production temperature and a late state emission as modeled by coalescence. We also note in passing that the abundancies of the light clusters in the present approach are in excellent agreement with those measured by ALICE at LHC.
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is preparing for a major upgrade of the detector, readout and computing systemsfor LHC Run 3. A new facility called O2 (Online-Offline) will play a major role in data compression and event processing. To efficiently operate the experiment, we are designing a monitoring subsystem, which will provide a complete overview of the O2 overall health, detect performance degradation and component failures. The monitoring subsystem will receive and collect up to 600 kHz of performance metrics. It consists of a custom monitoring library and a server-side, distributed software covering five main functional tasks: parameter collection and processing, storage, visualisation and alarms. To select the most appropriate tools for these tasks, we evaluated three options: “Modular Stack”, Zabbix and the currently used ALICE Grid monitoring tool called MonALISA. The former one consists of a toolkit including collectd, Apache Flume, Apache Spark, InfluxDB, Grafana and Riemann. This paper describes the monitoring subsystem functional architecture. It goes through a complete evaluation of the three considered options, the selection process, risk assessment and justification for the final decision. The in-depth comparison includes functional features and throughput measurement to ensure the required processing and storage performance.
A lot of effort in lattice simulations over the last years has been devoted to studies of the QCD deconfinement transition. Most state-of-the-art simulations use rooted staggered fermions, while Wilson fermions are affected by large systematic uncertainties, such as coarse lattices or heavy sea quarks. Here we report on an ongoing study of the transition, using two degenerate flavours of nonperturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. We start with Nt = 12 and 16 lattices and pion masses of 600 to 450 MeV, aiming at chiral and continuum limits with light quarks.
The thermodynamics of QCD with sufficiently heavy dynamical quarks can be described by a three-dimensional Polyakov loop effective theory, obtained after a truncated character and hopping expansion. We investigate the resulting phase diagram for low temperatures by mean field methods. Taking into account chemical potentials for both baryon number and isospin, we obtain clear signals for a liquid-gas type transition to baryon matter at μI=0 and a Bose-Einstein condensation transition at μB=0, as well as for their connection when both chemical potentials are non-zero.
Three-body nuclear forces play an important role in the structure of nuclei and hypernuclei and are also incorporated in models to describe the dynamics of dense baryonic matter, such as in neutron stars. So far, only indirect measurements anchored to the binding energies of nuclei can be used to constrain the three-nucleon force, and if hyperons are considered, the scarce data on hypernuclei impose only weak constraints on the three-body forces. In this work, we present the first direct measurement of the p−p−p and p−p−Λ systems in terms of three-particle mixed moments carried out for pp collisions at s√ = 13 TeV. Three-particle cumulants are extracted from the normalised mixed moments by applying the Kubo formalism, where the three-particle interaction contribution to these moments can be isolated after subtracting the known two-body interaction terms. A negative cumulant is found for the p−p−p system, hinting to the presence of a residual three-body effect while for p−p−Λ the cumulant is consistent with zero. This measurement demonstrates the accessibility of three-baryon correlations at the LHC.

ALICE is the dedicated heavy-ion experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Its main tracking and particle-identification detector is a large volume Time Projection Chamber (TPC). The TPC has been designed to perform well in the high-track density environment created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. In this proceeding, we describe the track reconstruction procedure in ALICE. In particular, we focus on the two main challenges that were faced during the Run 2 data-taking period (2015–2018) of the LHC, which were the baseline fluctuations and the local space charge distortions in the TPC. We present the corresponding solutions in detail and describe the software tools that allowed us to circumvent these challenges.
Tracking influenza a virus infection in the lung from hematological data with machine learning
(2022)
The tracking of pathogen burden and host responses with minimal-invasive methods during respiratory infections is central for monitoring disease development and guiding treatment decisions. Utilizing a standardized murine model of respiratory Influenza A virus (IAV) infection, we developed and tested different supervised machine learning models to predict viral burden and immune response markers, i.e. cytokines and leukocytes in the lung, from hematological data. We performed independently in vivo infection experiments to acquire extensive data for training and testing purposes of the models. We show here that lung viral load, neutrophil counts, cytokines like IFN-γ and IL-6, and other lung infection markers can be predicted from hematological data. Furthermore, feature analysis of the models shows that blood granulocytes and platelets play a crucial role in prediction and are highly involved in the immune response against IAV. The proposed in silico tools pave the path towards improved tracking and monitoring of influenza infections and possibly other respiratory infections based on minimal-invasively obtained hematological parameters.
Using a microscopic transport model we investigate the evolution of conical structures originating from the supersonic projectile moving through the hot matter of ultrarelativistic particles. Using different scenarios for the interaction between projectile and matter, and different transport properties of the matter, we study the formation and structure of Mach cones. Especially, a dependence of the Mach cone angle on the details and rate of the energy deposition from projectile to the matter is investigated. Furthermore, the two-particle correlations extracted from the numerical calculations are compared to an analytical approximation. We find that the propagation of a high energetic particle through the matter does not lead to the appearance of a double peak structure as observed in the ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collision experiments. The reason is the strongly forward-peaked energy and momentum deposition in the head shock region. In addition, by adjusting the cross section we investigate the influence of the viscosity to the structure of Mach cones. A clear and unavoidable smearing of the profile depending on a finite ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density is clearly visible.
Using a partonic transport model we investigate the evolution of conical structures in ultrarelativistic matter. Using two different source terms and varying the transport properties of the matter we study the formation of Mach Cones. Furthermore, in an additional study we extract the two-particle correlations from the numerical calculations and compare them to an analytical approximation. The influence of the viscosity to the shape of Mach Cones and the corresponding two-particle correlations is studied by adjusting the cross section of the medium.
As a part of this thesis, a Monte Carlo-based code has been developed capable of simulating the transition of proton beam properties to neutron beam properties as it occurs in the Li-7(p, n)Be-7 reaction. It is able to reproduce not only the angle-integrated energy distributions but it is also capable of predicting the angle-dependent neutron spectra as measured at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (Karlsruhe, Germany) and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (Braunschweig, Germany). Since the code retains all three spatial dimensions as well as all three velocity dimensions, it provides very detailed information on the neutron beam. The resulting data can aid in many different aspects, for example it can be used in shielding construction, or for lithium target design. In this work, the code is used to predict the neutron beam properties expected at the Frankfurt Neutron Source at Stern-Gerlach-Zentrum (FRANZ) facility. For different proton beam energies, the neutron distribution in x/p_x, y/p_y, and z/p_z is shown as well as a Mollweide projection, which illustrates the kinematic collimation effect that limits the neutron cone opening angle to less than 180 degree.
Transition path sampling is a powerful tool in the study of rare events. Shooting trial trajectories from configurations along existing transition paths proved particularly efficient in the sampling of reactive trajectories. However, most shooting attempts tend not to result in transition paths, in particular in cases where the transition dynamics has diffusive character. To overcome the resulting efficiency problem, we developed an algorithm for “shooting from the top.” We first define a shooting range through which all paths have to pass and then shoot off trial trajectories only from within this range. For a well chosen shooting range, nearly every shot is successful, resulting in an accepted transition path. To deal with multiple mechanisms, weighted shooting ranges can be used. To cope with the problem of unsuitably placed shooting ranges, we developed an algorithm that iteratively improves the location of the shooting range. The transition path sampling procedure is illustrated for models of diffusive and Langevin dynamics. The method should be particularly useful in cases where the transition paths are long so that only relatively few shots are possible, yet reasonable order parameters are known.
The present work deals with the integration of variable renewable energy sources, wind and solar energy into the European and US power grid. In contrast to other networks, such as the gas supply mains, the electricity network is practically not able to store energy. Generation and consumption therefore always have tobe balanced. Currently, the load curve is viewed as a rigid boundary condition, which must be followed by the generation system. The basic idea of the approach followed here is that weather-dependent generation causes a shift of focus of the electricity supply. At high shares of wind and solar generation, the role of the rigid boundary condition falls to the residual load, that is, the remaining load after subtraction of renewable generation. The goal is to include the weather dependence as well as the load curve in the design of the future electricity supply.
After a brief introduction, the present work first turns to the underlying weather-, generation and load data, which form the starting point of the analysis. In addition, some basic concepts of energy economics are discussed, which are needed in the following.
In the main part of the thesis, several algorithms are developed to determine the load flow in a network with a high share of wind and solar energy and to determine the backup supply needed at the same time. Minimization of the energy needed from controllable power plants, the capacity variable power plants, and the capacity of storing serve as guiding principles. In addition, the optimization problem of grid extensions is considered. It is shown that it can be formulated as a convex optimization problem. It turns out that with an optimized, international transmission network which is about four times the currently available transmission capacity, much of the potential savings in backup energy (about 40%) in Europe can be reached. In contrast, a twelvefold increase the transmission capacity would be necessary for a complete implementation of all possible savings in dispatchable power plants.
The reduction of the dispatchable generation capacity and storage capacity, however, presents a greater challenge. Due to correlations in the generation of time series of individual countries, it may be reduced only with difficulty, and by only about 30%.
In the following, the influence of the relative share of wind and solar energy is illuminated and examined the interplay with the line capacitance. A stronger transmission network tends to lead to a higher proportion of wind energy being better integrated. With increasing line capacity, the optimal mix in Europe therefore shifts from about 70% to 80% wind. Similar analyses are carried out for the US with comparable results.
In addition, the cost of the overall system can be reduced. It is interesting at this point that the advantages for the network integration may outweigh higher production costs of individual technologies, so that it is more favourable from the viewpoint of the entire system to use the more expensive technologies.
Finally, attention is given to the flexibility of the dispatchable power plants. Starting from a Fourier-like decomposition of the load curve as it was a few years ago, when hardly renewable generation capacity was present, capacities of different flexibility classes of dispatchable power plant are calculated. For this purpose, it is assumed that the power plant park is able to follow the load curve without significant surplusses or deficits. From this examination, it is derived what capacity must at least be available without having to resort to a detailed database of existing power plants.
Assuming a strong European cooperation, with a stronger international transmission network, the dispatchable power capacity can be significantly reduced while maintaining security of supply and generating relatively small surplusses in dispatchable power plants.
We propose to use the hadron number fluctuations in the limited momentum regions to study the evolution of initial flows in high energy nuclear collisions. In this method by a proper preparation of a collision sample the projectile and target initial flows are marked in fluctuations in the number of colliding nucleons. We discuss three limiting cases of the evolution of flows, transparency, mixing and reflection, and present for them quantitative predictions obtained within several models. Finally, we apply the method to the NA49 results on fluctuations of the negatively charged hadron multiplicity in Pb+Pb interactions at 158A GeV and conclude that the data favor a hydrodynamical model with a significant degree of mixing of the initial flows at the early stage of collisions.
In this work we provided additional insights into our understanding of bulk QCD matter through the study of the transport coeffcients which govern the non-equilibrium microscopical processes of statistical ensembles. Specically, we focused on the low energy regime corresponding to the hadron gas, as the properties of this region of the phase diagram are still relatively unknown, and existing calculations for the transport coeffcients are either scarce, contradictory, or somewhat limited in scope; this thesis' main goal was thus to shed some light on this by providing new independent calculations of these quantities.
We subsequently presented two formalisms which can be used to calculate transport coeffcients. The first one (which also was the main tool we used in the following chapters to produce our results) relies on the development of so-called Green-Kubo formulas, which relate non-equilibrium dissipative fluctuations with transport coeffcients; notably, the off-diagonal components of the energy-momentum tensor are shown to be related to the shear viscosity, its diagonal components to the bulk viscosity and fluctuations in the electric current can be related to the electric conductivity. We additionally introduced two new conductivities, namely the baryon-electric and strange electric conductivities, which we dubbed, together with the already known electric one, the "cross-conductivity", which encodes information about how electric fluctuations are correlated to changes in electric, baryonic or strange currents, or vice-versa. The second way of calculating transport coeffcient which we discussed consists in linearizing the collision term of the Boltzmann equation through the Chapman-Enskog formalism. While in principle providing direct semi-analytical results for the transport coeffcients, this approach is complicated to implement when more than a few species are considered, and as such was then mostly used as a tool to calibrate our Green-Kubo calculations.
The hadron gas model that we used for all calculations, namely the transport approach SMASH, was then presented. The main features of the model were explained, such as the collision criterion, the considered degrees of freedom and the specific way in which they microscopically interact with each other. It was verified that SMASH does reproduce analytical results of the Boltzmann equation in an expanding universe scenario, thus showing the equivalence of this transport approach and the associated kinetic theory results. A special care was taken to detail the ways in which a state of thermal and chemical equilibrium (which is necessary for Green-Kubo relations to be valid) can be reached and described using SMASH.

Based on the microscopic transport model UrQMD in which hadronic and string degrees of freedom are employed, the HBT parameters in the longitudinal co-moving system are investigated for charged pion and kaon, and Λ sources in heavy ion collisions (HICs) at SPS and RHIC energies. In the Cascade mode, RO and the RL at high SPS and RHIC energies do not follow the mT-scaling, however, after considering a soft equation of state with momentum dependence (SM-EoS) for formed baryons and a density-dependent Skyrme-like potential for “pre-formed” particles, the HBT radii of pions and kaons and even those of Λs with large transverse momenta follow the mT-scaling function R=3/mT fairly well.
Ziel dieser Dissertation ist es, die Gleichgewichts- und Nichtgleichgewichts-Eigenschaften des stark wechselwirkenden QGP-Mediums nahe dem Phasenübergang unter extremen Bedingungen von hohen T und hohen Baryonendichten mit Hilfe der kinetischen Theorie im Rahmen von effektiven Modellen zu untersuchen. Wir werden zunächst die thermodynamischen und Transporteigenschaften des QGPs in der Nähe des Gleichgewichts auf der Basis des DQPM im Bereich moderater chemischer Baryonenpotentiale μB ≥ 0.5 GeV untersuchen. Insbesondere werden die EoS und die Schallgeschwindigkeit sowie die Transportkoeffizienten des QGP auf der Grundlage des DQPM bei endlichen T und μB berechnet. Transportkoeffizienten sind besonders interessant, da sie Informationen über die Wechselwirkungen im Medium erlauben, das im Gleichgewicht durch eine Temperatur T und ein chemisches Potential μB charakterisiert werden kann. Unter Berücksichtigung der Transportkoeffizienten und der EoS der QGP-Phase vergleichen wir unsere Ergebnisse mit verschiedenen Resultaten aus der Literatur, in denen Transportkoeffizienten des QGPs auf Basis von effektiven Modellen vorwiegend bei Null oder kleinem chemischen Potentialen untersucht wurden.
Darüber hinaus werden in Kapitel 3 die Gleichgewichtseigenschaften des QGPs und insbesondere die Auswirkungen der μB-Abhängigkeit der thermodynamischen und Transporteigenschaften des QGPs im Rahmen des erweiterten PHSD-Transportansatzes untersucht, der die vollständige Entwicklung des Systems einschließlich der partonischen Phase umfasst. Die Entwicklung des PHSD-Transportansatzes wird in der partonischen Phase erweitert, indem explizit die gesamt- und differentiellen partonischen Streuquerschnitte auf der Grundlage des DQPM berechnet und bei der tatsächlichen Temperatur T und dem baryonischen chemischen Potential μB in jeder einzelnen Raum-Zeit-Zelle, in der die partonische Streuung stattfindet, ausgewertet werden.
Um die Spuren der μB-Abhängigkeit des QGPs in den Observablen zu untersuchen, werden die Ergebnisse von PHSD5.0 (mit μB-Abhängigkeiten) mit den Ergebnissen von PHSD5.0 für μB = 0 sowie mit PHSD4.0, in dem die Massen/Breiten der Quarks und Gluonen sowie deren Wechselwirkungsquerschnitte nur von T abhängen, verglichen. Wir diskutieren die PHSD-Ergebnisse für verschiedene Observablen: (i) Rapiditäts- und pT -Verteilungen von identifizierten Hadronen für symmetrische Au+Au- und Pb+Pb- Kollisionen bei Energien von 30 AGeV (zukünftige NICA-Energie) sowie für die RHIC-Spitzenenergie von √sNN = 200 GeV; (ii) gerichteter Fluss v1 von identifizierten Hadronen für Au + Au bei invarianter Energie √sNN = 27 GeV und 200 GeV; (iii) elliptischer Fluss v2 der identifizierten Hadronen für Au+Au bei invarianten Energien √sNN = 27 und 200 GeV. Der Vergleich der "Bulk"-Observablen für Au+Au-Kollisionen innerhalb der drei PHSD-Einstellungen hat gezeigt, dass sie eine recht geringe Empfindlichkeit gegenüber den μB -Abhängigkeiten der Partoneigenschaften (Massen und Breiten) und ihrer Wechselwirkungsquerschnitte aufweisen, sodass die Ergebnisse von PHSD5.0 mit und ohne μB sehr nahe beieinander liegen. Nur im Fall von Kaonen, Antiprotonen ̄p und Antihyperonen ̄Λ + ̄Σ0 konnte ein kleiner Unterschied zwischen PHSD4.0 und PHSD5.0 bei den höchsten SPS- und RHIC-Energien festgestellt werden.
Wir finden nur geringe Unterschiede zwischen den Ergebnissen von PHSD4.0 und PHSD5.0 für die hier betrachteten hadronischen Observablen sowohl bei hohen als auch bei mittleren Energien. Dies hängt damit zusammen, dass bei hohen Energien, wo die Materie vom QGP dominiert wird, ein sehr kleines chemisches Baryonenpotential μB in zentralen Kollisionen bei mittlerer Rapidität gemessen wird, während mit abnehmender Energie und größerem μB der Anteil des QGPs rapide abnimmt, sodass die endgültigen Beobachtungswerte insgesamt von den Hadronen dominiert werden, die an der hadronischen Rückstreuung teilgenommen haben, und somit die Information über ihren QGP-Ursprung verwaschen oder verloren geht.
In Kapitel 4 betrachten wir die Transportkoeffizienten von QGP-Materie im erweiterten Polyakov-NJL-Modell entlang der Übergangslinie für moderate Werte des chemischen Baryonenpotenzials 0 ≤ μB ≤ 0.9 GeV sowie in der Nähe des kritischen Endpunkts(CEP) und bei großem chemischen Baryonenpotenzial μB = 1.2 GeV, wo ein Phasenübergang erster Ordnung stattfindet. Wir untersuchen, wie die Natur der Freiheitsgrade die Transporteigenschaften des QGPs beeinflusst. Darüber hinaus demonstrieren wir die Auswirkungen des Phasenübergangs erster Ordnung und des CEP auf die Transportkoeffizienten im dekonfinierten QCD-Medium.
Darüber hinaus wird in Kapitel 5 eine phänomenologische Erweiterung des DQPM auf große baryonchemische Potentiale μB einschließlich der Region mit einem möglichen CEP und späterem Phasenübergang erster Ordnung betrachtet. Eines der wichtigsten Merkmale des Modells ist das Auftreten einer ’kritischen‘ Skalierung in der Nähe des CEP. Das Hauptziel des vorgestellten Modells besteht darin, die mikroskopischen und makroskopischen Eigenschaften der partonischen Freiheitsgrade für den Bereich des Phasendiagramms bereitzustellen, der durch moderates T und moderates oder hohes μB gekennzeichnet ist.

Transverse activity of kaons and deconfinement phase transition in nucleus–nucleus collisions
(2003)
We found that the experimental results on transverse mass spectrum of kaons produced in central Pb+Pb (Au+Au) collisions show an anomalous dependence on the colliding energy. The inverse slope of the spectrum increases with the energy in the low (AGS) and high (RHIC) energy domains, whereas it remains constant in the intermediate (SPS) energy range. We argue that this anomaly is probably caused by the modification of the equation of state in the transition region between confined and deconfined matter. This observation may be considered as a new signal, in addition to the previously reported anomalies in the pion and strangeness production, of the onset of deconfinement located in the low SPS energy domain.
The NA35 experiment has collected a high statistics set of momentum analyzed negative hadrons near and forward of midrapidity for central collisions of 200A GeV/c 32S+S, Cu, Ag, and Au. Using momentum space correlations to study the size of the source of particle production, the transverse source radii are found to decrease by ~40% at midrapidity and ~20% at forward rapidity while the longitudinal radius RL is found to decrease by ~50% as pT increases over the interval 50<pT<600 MeV/c. Calculations using a microscopic phase space approach (relativistic quantum molecular dynamics) reproduce the observed trends of the data. PACS: 25.75.+r
The production of prompt charmed mesons D0, D+ and D∗+, and their antiparticles, was measured with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair, sNN−−−√, of 2.76 TeV. The production yields for rapidity |y|<0.5 are presented as a function of transverse momentum, pT, in the interval 1-36 GeV/c for the centrality class 0-10% and in the interval 1-16 GeV/c for the centrality class 30-50%. The nuclear modification factor RAA was computed using a proton-proton reference at s√=2.76 TeV, based on measurements at s√=7 TeV and on theoretical calculations. A maximum suppression by a factor of 5-6 with respect to binary-scaled pp yields is observed for the most central collisions at pT of about 10 GeV/c. A suppression by a factor of about 2-3 persists at the highest pT covered by the measurements. At low pT (1-3 GeV/c), the RAA has large uncertainties that span the range 0.35 (factor of about 3 suppression) to 1 (no suppression). In all pT intervals, the RAA is larger in the 30-50% centrality class compared to central collisions. The D-meson RAA is also compared with that of charged pions and, at large pT, charged hadrons, and with model calculations.

The production cross section and the transverse momentum distribution of charged particles is measured in pp collisions at √s = 2.76 TeV, 5.02 TeV, 7 TeV and 13 TeV, as well as for Pb-Pb collision at √s_NN = 5.02 TeV and Xe-Xe at √s_NN = 5.44 TeV in ALICE at the LHC. The measurement is performed in the transverse momentum region of 0.15 < p_T < 50 GeV/c and in the pseudorapidity range of |η| < 0.8. The precision of the measurement has been substantially enhanced as a result of the improved corrections, by taking into account a more realistic particle composition in the MC simulations. As a result, the systematic uncertainties have been reduced by more than a factor two in all systems and energies.
The average transverse momentum <p_T> results show a faster-than-linear increase with the center-of-mass energy and follow a similar trend with respect to previous measurements. The analysis of the p_T spectra in multiplicity intervals show a weak center-of-mass energy dependence when they are compared to their respective inelastic (INEL) pp measurement. The average multiplicity as a function of the collision energy shows a quadratic trend, and the comparison with other ALICE multiplicity measurements exhibits a remarkable agreement, within uncertainties.
The transverse momentum spectra in pp collisions are compared to state-of-the-art MC simulations, EPOS LHC and PYTHIA 8 event generators; none of them is able to reproduce the distributions over the full p_T range.
The differential cross section in pp collisions is an essential observable for the study of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The absence of a medium formation in pp collisions serves as an essential baseline for studies of particle production and suppression due to parton energy-loss in the QGP. Since pp collisions at √s = 5.44 TeV were not measured by ALICE, the pp reference at this energy was constructed by using a power law interpolation between the s = 5.02 TeV and 7 TeV data. The pp results are compared to the particle production in Pb-Pb collisions at √s_NN = 5.02 TeV and Xe-Xe collisions at √s_NN = 5.44 TeV.
The nuclear modification factor R_AA for Pb-Pb and Xe-Xe collisions was calculated and a strong suppression of high-p_T particles is observed in central collisions. The R AA in different systems allows for a differential study of the parton energy loss in the QGP. The comparison of the R AA in multiplicity intervals between the two systems provide insights into the path length dependence of a parton that propagates in the medium.
We report the measured transverse momentum (pT) spectra of primary charged particles from pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy sNN−−−√=5.02 TeV in the kinematic range of 0.15 < pT< 50 GeV/c and |η| < 0.8. A significant improvement of systematic uncertainties motivated the reanalysis of data in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at sNN−−−√=2.76 TeV, as well as in p-Pb collisions at sNN−−−√=5.02 TeV, which is also presented. Spectra from Pb-Pb collisions are presented in nine centrality intervals and are compared to a reference spectrum from pp collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. For central collisions, the pT spectra are suppressed by more than a factor of 7 around 6–7 GeV/c with a significant reduction in suppression towards higher momenta up to 30 GeV/c. The nuclear modification factor RpPb, constructed from the pp and p-Pb spectra measured at the same collision energy, is consistent with unity above 8 GeV/c. While the spectra in both pp and Pb-Pb collisions are substantially harder at sNN−−−√=5.02 TeV compared to 2.76 TeV, the nuclear modification factors show no significant collision energy dependence. The obtained results should provide further constraints on the parton energy loss calculations to determine the transport properties of the hot and dense QCD matter.
Transverse momentum (pT) spectra of charged particles at mid-pseudorapidity in Xe-Xe collisions at sNN−−−√ = 5.44 TeV measured with the ALICE apparatus at the Large Hadron Collider are reported. The kinematic range 0.15<pT<50 GeV/c and |η|<0.8 is covered. Results are presented in nine classes of collision centrality in the 0-80% range. For comparison, a pp reference at the collision energy of s√ = 5.44 TeV is obtained by interpolating between existing \pp measurements at s√ = 5.02 and 7 TeV. The nuclear modification factors in central Xe-Xe collisions and Pb-Pb collisions at a similar center-of-mass energy of sNN−−−√ = 5.02 TeV, and in addition at 2.76 TeV, at analogous ranges of charged particle multiplicity density ⟨dNch/dη⟩ show a remarkable similarity at pT>10 GeV/c. The comparison of the measured RAA values in the two colliding systems could provide insight on the path length dependence of medium-induced parton energy loss. The centrality dependence of the ratio of the average transverse momentum ⟨pT⟩ in Xe-Xe collisions over Pb-Pb collision at s√ = 5.02 TeV is compared to hydrodynamical model calculations.

The inclusive charged particle transverse momentum distribution is measured in proton–proton collisions at s=900 GeV at the LHC using the ALICE detector. The measurement is performed in the central pseudorapidity region (|η|<0.8) over the transverse momentum range 0.15<pT<10 GeV/c. The correlation between transverse momentum and particle multiplicity is also studied. Results are presented for inelastic (INEL) and non-single-diffractive (NSD) events. The average transverse momentum for |η|<0.8 is 〈pT〉INEL=0.483±0.001 (stat.)±0.007 (syst.) GeV/c and 〈pT〉NSD=0.489±0.001 (stat.)±0.007 (syst.) GeV/c, respectively. The data exhibit a slightly larger 〈pT〉 than measurements in wider pseudorapidity intervals. The results are compared to simulations with the Monte Carlo event generators PYTHIA and PHOJET.
The transversity distribution, which describes transversely polarized quarks in transversely polarized nucleons, is a fundamental component of the spin structure of the nucleon, and is only loosely constrained by global fits to existing semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) data. In transversely polarized p↑+p collisions it can be accessed using transverse polarization dependent fragmentation functions which give rise to azimuthal correlations between the polarization of the struck parton and the final state scalar mesons.This letter reports on spin dependent di-hadron correlations measured by the STAR experiment. The new dataset corresponds to 25 pb−1 integrated luminosity of p↑+p collisions at s=500 GeV, an increase of more than a factor of ten compared to our previous measurement at s=200 GeV. Non-zero asymmetries sensitive to transversity are observed at a Q2 of several hundred GeV and are found to be consistent with the former measurement and a model calculation. We expect that these data will enable an extraction of transversity with comparable precision to current SIDIS datasets but at much higher momentum transfers where subleading effects are suppressed.
The elliptic and triangular flow coefficients v2 and v3 of prompt D0, D+, and D∗+ mesons were measured at midrapidity (|y| < 0.8) in Pb–Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of √sNN = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The D mesons were reconstructed via their hadronic decays in the transverse momentum interval 1 < pT < 36 GeV/c in central (0–10%) and semi-central (30–50%) collisions. Compared to pions, protons, and J/ψ mesons, the average D-meson vn harmonics are compatible within uncertainties with a mass hierarchy for pT 3 GeV/c, and are similar to those of charged pions for higher pT. The coupling of the charm quark to the light quarks in the underlying medium is further investigated with the application of the event-shape engineering (ESE) technique to the D-meson v2 and pT-differential yields. The D-meson v2 is correlated with average bulk elliptic flow in both central and semi-central collisions. Within the current precision, the ratios of per-event Dmeson yields in the ESE-selected and unbiased samples are found to be compatible with unity. All the measurements are found to be reasonably well described by theoretical calculations including the effects of charm-quark transport and the recombination of charm quarks with light quarks in a hydrodynamically expanding medium.

TriMem: A parallelized hybrid Monte Carlo software for efficient simulations of lipid membranes
(2022)
Lipid membranes are integral building blocks of living cells and perform a multitude of biological functions. Currently, molecular simulations of cellular-scale membrane remodeling processes at atomic resolution are extremely difficult, due to their size, complexity, and the large times-scales on which these processes occur. Instead, elastic membrane models are used to simulate membrane shapes and transitions between them and to infer their properties and functions. Unfortunately, an efficiently parallelized open-source simulation code to do so has been lacking. Here, we present TriMem, a parallel hybrid Monte Carlo simulation engine for triangulated lipid membranes. The kernels are efficiently coded in C++ and wrapped with Python for ease-of-use. The parallel implementation of the energy and gradient calculations and of Monte Carlo flip moves of edges in the triangulated membrane enable us to simulate large and highly curved membrane structures. For validation, we reproduce phase diagrams of vesicles with varying surface-to-volume ratios and area difference. We also compute the density of states to verify correct Boltzmann sampling. The software can be used to tackle a range of large-scale membrane remodeling processes as a step toward cell-scale simulations. Additionally, extensive documentation make the software accessible to the broad biophysics and computational cell biology communities.
We suggest to explore an entirely new method to experimentally and theoretically study the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter based on the triple nuclear collisions (TNC).We simulated the TNC using the UrQMD 3.4 model at the beam center of- mass collision energies √SNN = 200 GeV and √SNN = 2.76 TeV. It is found that in the most central and simultaneous TNC the initial baryonic charge density is about 3 times higher than the one achieved in the usual binary nuclear collisions at the same energies. As a consequence, the production of protons and Λ-hyperons is increased by a factor of 2 and 1.5, respectively. Using the MIT Bag model equation we study the evolution of the central cell in TNC and demonstrate that for the top RHIC energy of collision the baryonic chemical potential is 2-2.5 times larger than the one achieved in the binary nuclear collision at the same time of reaction. Based on these estimates, we show that TNC offers an entirely new possibility to study the QCD phase diagram at very high baryonic charge densities.
We found that a true ternary fission with formation of a heavy third fragment (a new kind of radioactivity) is quite possible for superheavy nuclei due to the strong shell effects leading to a three-body clusterization with the two doubly magic tin-like cores. The three-body quasifission process could be even more pronounced for giant nuclear systems formed in collisions of heavy actinide nuclei. In this case a three-body clusterization might be proved experimentally by detection of two coincident lead-like fragments in low-energy U+U collisions.
