Proteomic profiles of myocardial tissue in two different etiologies of heart failure were investigated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Right atrial appendages from 10 patients with hemodynamically significant isolated aortic valve disease and from 10 patients with isolated symptomatic coronary heart disease were collected during elective cardiac surgery. As presented in an earlier study by our group (Baykut et al., 2006), both disease forms showed clearly different pattern distribution characteristics. Interesting enough, the classification patterns could be used for correctly sorting unknown test samples in their correct categories. However, in order to fully exploit and also validate these findings there is a definite need for unambiguous identification of the differences between different etiologies at molecular level. In this study, samples representative for the aortic valve disease and coronary heart disease were prepared, tryptically digested, and analyzed using an FT-ICR MS that allowed collision-induced dissociation (CID) of selected classifier masses. By using the fragment spectra, proteins were identified by database searches. For comparison and further validation, classifier masses were also fragmented and analyzed using HPLC-/Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight/time-of-flight (TOF/TOF) mass spectrometry. Desmin and lumican precursor were examples of proteins found in aortic samples at higher abundances than in coronary samples. Similarly, adenylate kinase isoenzyme was found in coronary samples at a higher abundance. The described methodology could also be feasible in search for specific biomarkers in plasma or serum for diagnostic purposes.
We study electron transport through a single-molecule magnet (SMM) and the interplay of its anisotropic spin with quantized vibrational distortions of the molecule. Based on numerical renormalization group calculations we show that, despite the longitudinal anisotropy barrier and small transverse anisotropy, vibrational fluctuations can induce quantum spin-tunneling (QST) and a QST-Kondo effect. The interplay of spin scattering, QST and molecular vibrations can strongly enhance the Kondo effect and induce an anomalous magnetic field dependence of vibrational Kondo side-bands.
Directed deposition of silicon nanowires using neopentasilane as precursor and gold as catalyst
(2012)
In this work the applicability of neopentasilane (Si(SiH3)4) as a precursor for the formation of silicon nanowires by using gold nanoparticles as a catalyst has been explored. The growth proceeds via the formation of liquid gold/silicon alloy droplets, which excrete the silicon nanowires upon continued decomposition of the precursor. This mechanism determines the diameter of the Si nanowires. Different sources for the gold nanoparticles have been tested: the spontaneous dewetting of gold films, thermally annealed gold films, deposition of preformed gold nanoparticles, and the use of “liquid bright gold”, a material historically used for the gilding of porcelain and glass. The latter does not only form gold nanoparticles when deposited as a thin film and thermally annealed, but can also be patterned by using UV irradiation, providing access to laterally structured layers of silicon nanowires.
We compute the phase and the modulus of an energy- and pressure-free, composite, adjoint, and
inert field φ in an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory at large temperatures. This field is physically relevant in describing part of the ground-state structure and the quasiparticle masses of excitations. The field φ possesses nontrivial S1-winding on the group manifold S3. Even at asymptotically high temperatures, where the theory reaches its Stefan-Boltzmann limit, the field φ, though strongly power suppressed, is conceptually relevant: its presence resolves the infrared problem of thermal perturbation theory.
The main purpose of the Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) located in the central barrel of ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is electron identification for separation from pions at momenta pt > 1 GeV/c, since in this momentum range the measurements of the specific energy loss (dE/dx) of the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is no longer sufficient. Furthermore, it provides a fast trigger for high transverse momentum charged particles (pt > 3 GeV/c) and makes a significant contribution to the optimization of the tracking of reaction products in heavy-ion collisions. Its whole setup comprises 18 supermodules out of which 13 are presently operational and mounted cylindrically around the beam axis of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A supermodule contains either 30 or 24 chambers, each consisting of a radiator for transition radiation creation, a drift and an amplifying region followed by the read-out electronics. In total, the TRD is an array of 522 chambers operated with about 28 m3 of a Xe-CO2 [85-15%] gas mixture. During the work of this thesis, the testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance of detector parts, the gas system and its online quality monitor, improvements on the detector control user-interface and studies about a new pre-trigger module for data read-out have been accomplished. The TRD gas system mixes, distributes and circulates the operational gas mixture through the detector. Its overall optimization has been achieved by minimizing gas leakage, surveying, controlling, maintaining and continuously improving it as well as designing and carrying out upgrades. Gas quality monitors of the type \GOOFIE" (Gas prOportional cOunter For drIfting Electrons) can be used in gaseous detectors as on-line monitors of the electron drift velocity, gain and gas properties. One of these devices has been implemented within the TRD gas system, while another one surveys the gas of the TPC. Both devices had to be adapted to the specific needs of the detectors, were under constant surveillance and control, and needed to be further developed on both hardware and software side. To improve the operation of the TRD, modifications on its DCS software (Detector Control System) used for monitoring, controlling, operating, regulating and configuring of hardware and computing devices have been carried out. The DCS is designed to enable an operator to interact with equipment through user interfaces that display the information from the system. The main focus of this work was laid on the optimization of the usability and design of the user interface. The front-end electronics of the TRD require an early start signal (\pre-trigger") from the fast forward detectors or the Time-Of-Flight detector during the running periods. The realization of a new hardware concept for the read-out of the TRD pre-trigger system has been studied and first tests were performed. This new module called PIMDDL (Pre-trigger Interface Module Detector Data Link) is meant to acquire all data necessary to simulate and predict the full pre-trigger functionality, and to verify its proper operation. Furthermore, it shall provide all functionalities of the so-called Control Box Bottom as well as keep the functionalities of the already existing PIM (Pre-trigger Interface Module) in order to combine and replace these two modules in the future.
Zellulare Nichtlineare Netzwerke bzw. Zellulare Neuronale Netzwerke, sogenannte CNN, wurden 1988 von L.O. Chua und L.Yang eingeführt und seither intensiv untersucht. Diese sind als Simulations-Software und als schaltungstechnische Realisierungen, in Hardware, verfügbar.
Als analog arbeitende Hardware Schaltungen können diese Netzwerke erhebliche Rechenleistungen erzielen.
Durch ihren Aufbau ermöglichen sie eine parallele Daten- und Signalverarbeitung.
Eine Einführung in CNN wird gegeben und das EyeRIS 1.1 Systems des Unternehmens ANAFOCUS Ltd. vorgestellt.
Das EyeRIS 1.1 System ist mit einem analog arbeitenden Focal Plane Prozessor (FPP) und einem digitalen Prozessor ausgestattet, wobei der Focal Plane Prozessor auch als Kamera zur Aufnahme von Bildern und Bildsequenzen benutzt werden kann.
Dies ermöglicht es, analoge CNN-Algorithmen zusammen mit digitalen Algorithmen auf einem System zu implementieren und so die Vorteile beider Ansätze zu nutzen. Der Datenaustausch zwischen dem analogen und digitalem Teil des EyeRIS 1.1 Systems geschieht mittels digital/analog und analog/digital Wandlung. Es werden Algorithmen auf dem EyeRIS 1.1 System untersucht und mit Ergebnissen die mittels Simulationen erzeugt wurden verglichen.
In Voruntersuchungen werden die Darstellungsgenauigkeit von Werten im analogen Teil des EyeRIS 1.1 Systems und die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeiten des EyeRIS 1.1 Systems untersucht.
Im Weiteren wird besonderes Augenmerk auf medizinische und technische Anwendungsgebiete gelegt werden.
Im medizinischen Anwendungsbereich wird die Implementierung von Algorithmen zur Vorhersage epileptischer Anfälle untersucht.
Hierfür wird ein evolutionär motiviertes Optimierungsverfahren entwicklet und auf dem EyeRIS 1.1-System implementiert.
Hierbei werden Simulationen durchgeführt und mit Ergebnissen, die mittels Verwendung des EyeRIS 1.1 Systems erlangt wurden, verglichen.
Ein zweites Verfahren geht die Signalanalyse für die Vorhersage auf dem EyeRIS 1.1-System mittels Mustererkennung an.
Das Mustererkennungsverfahren wird eingehend beschrieben sowie die hierbei zu beachtenden Randbedingungen erläutert.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß Algorithmen zur Vorhersage von epileptischen Anfällen auf schaltungstechnichen Realisierungen von CNN implementiert werden können.
Im technischen Bereich wird die Anwendbarkeit auf die Problemstellung der Bildverarbeitung gelegt und die Möglichkeit von CNN basierten Algorithmen zur Erkennung von Prozessparametern bei Laserschweißverfahren untersucht. Ein solcher Prozessparameter ist das sogenannte Key-Hole, welches in Bildsequenzen von Laserschweißprozessen als ein Maß für die zu erwartende Qualität einer Schweißnaht herangezogen werden kann. Ein CNN basierter Algorithmus für die Erkennung solcher Key-Holes wird in dieser Arbeit vorgestellt und untersucht.
Für die Überwachung eines Laserschweißverfahrens wird der entwickelte Algorithmius und seine Funktionsweise beschrieben.
Dieser wird in Teilalgorithmen auf die analog bzw. digital arbeitenden Komponenten des EyeRIS 1.1 Systems verteilt.
Die Teilalgorithmen und die möglichen Aufteilungen und deren Laufzeitverhalten werden beschrieben und untersucht.
Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung zeigen, daß eine Prozessüberwachung mittels CNN möglich ist und heben die Vorteile hervor, welche die Bildaufnahme und -verarbeitung mittels analoger CNN-Hardware bietet.
Eine Untersuchung des Laufzeitverhaltens auf Grafikkarten Prozessoren (GPU's) wird im Anhang vorgestellt.
Quarkonia are very promising probes to study the quark-gluon plasma. The essential baseline for measurements in heavy-ion collisions is high-precision data from proton-proton interactions. However, the basic mechanisms of quarkonium hadroproduction are still being debated. The most common models, the Color-Singlet Model, the non-relativistic QCD approach and the Color-Evaporation Model, are able to describe most of the available cross-section data, despite of their conceptual differences. New measures, such as the polarization, and data at a new energy regime are crucial to test the competing models. Another issue is an eventual interplay between the production process of a quarkonium state and the surrounding pp event. Current Monte Carlo event generators treat the hard scattering independently from the rest of the so-called underlying event. The investigation of possible correlations with the pp event might be very valuable for a detailed understanding of the production processes. ALICE ist the dedicated heavy-ion experiment at the LHC. Its design has been optimized for high-precision measurements in very high track densities and down to low transverse momenta. ALICE is composed of various different detectors at forward and at central rapidities. The most important detectors for this study are the Inner Tracking System and the Time Projection Chamber, allowing to reconstruct and identify electron candidate tracks within eta < 0.9. The Transition Radiation Detector has not been utilized at this stage of the analysis; however, it will strongly improve the particle identification and provide a dedicated trigger in the upcoming beam periods. ...
The intriguing effects of electroweak induced parity violation (PV) in molecules have yet to be observed, but experiments on molecular PV promise to provide fascinating insights. They potentially offer a novel testing ground for the low energy sector of the standard model and, in addition, a successful measurement of PV differences between the two enantiomers of a chiral molecule could promote a deeper understanding of molecular chirality, by essentially establishing a new link between particle physics and biochemistry. A key challenge in the design of such experiments is the identification of suitable molecules, which in turn requires widely applicable computational schemes for the prediction of PV experimental signals. To this end, a quasirelativistic density functional theory approach to the calculation of PV effects in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of chiral molecules has been developed and implemented during the course of this thesis. It includes relativistic as well as electron--correlation effects and has been used extensively in the screening of molecules possibly suited for a first observation of molecular PV. Some relevant compound classes have been identified, but none of their selected representatives are predicted to exhibit PV NMR frequency shifts that can be detected under current experimental restrictions. In order to advance the design of molecules which exhibit particularly large PV signals in experiments, systematic effects on PV NMR frequency splittings such as scaling with nuclear charge, conformational dependence and the impact of atomic substitution around the NMR active nucleus have been studied. Previously predicted scaling laws were confirmed and it was determined that the environment of the NMR active nucleus, both in terms of conformation and atomic composition, can be tuned to increase PV frequency shifts by several orders of magnitude. In addition to molecules suited for NMR experiments, a fascinating chiral actinide compound was studied with regard to PV frequency shifts in vibrational spectra. This compound displays the largest such shift ever predicted for an existing molecule, which lies well within the attainable experimental resolution. The challenge now lies in making it compatible with current experimental setups.
In den letzten Jahren haben die Forschungsaktivitäten im Bereich Thermoelektrik stetig zugenommen. Das neu erweckte Interesse an der Thermoelektrik ist zurückzuführen auf neue nanostrukturierte Materialien, Quantenschicht-Strukturen und Nanodrähte, welche
eine wesentliche Steigerung der thermoelektrischen Effektivität Z im Vergleich zum Massivmaterial versprechen. Für Nanodrähte ist die größte Steigerung der thermoelektrischen Effektivität zu erwarten. Zur Bestätigung der Theorie bedarf es neuer Messmethoden zur Bestimmung des Seebeck-Koeffizienten S, der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit σ und der Wärmeleitfähigkeit λ, um hieraus eine Steigerung der thermoelektrischen Effektivität Z = (Sexp2)σ/λ experimentell zu bestätigen.
Der Schwerpunkt der Doktorarbeit lag in der Untersuchung thermoelektrischer Eigenschaften von Nanodrähten. Hierzu wurden neueMessmethoden zur Bestimmung der elektrischen und thermischen Leitfähigkeit von Nanodrähten entwickelt.
Die elektrische und thermische Leitfähigkeit von Pt-Nanodrähten wurden mit dem in dieser Arbeit entwickelten λ-Chip gemessen. Die elektrische Leitfähigkeit der Pt-Nanodrähte ist im Vergleich zum Massivmaterial entsprechend der klassischen Size-Effekt-Theorie reduziert. Ebenso wurde eine Abnahme der Wärmeleitfähigkeit beobachtet. Die Ergebnisse stimmen mit den im Rahmen der klassischen Size-Effekt-Theorie zu erwartenden Resultaten gut überein, jedoch bedarf die Reduzierung der Lorenz-Zahl noch einer theoretischen Erklärung.
Im Weiteren wurde die elektrische Leitfähigkeit von BixTe1-x und BixSb1-x-Nanodrähten mit dem λ-Chip bestimmt. Hierzu wurden zunächst unterschiedliche Kontaktmaterialien getestet, um die Diffusion des Kontaktmaterials in den Nanodraht auszuschließen. Als bewährtes Kontaktmaterial stellte sich ein Schichtsystem aus Titan und Gold heraus. Die Ti-Schicht wirkt hierbei als Diffusionsbarriere und Haftvermittler-Schicht. Die Wärmeleitfähigkeit der Bi-haltigen Nanodrähte konnte mit dem λ-Chip nicht gemessen werden, da die Unterätzung der Nanodrähte mittels reaktivem Ionenätzen die Nanodrähte angriff. Als Alternative können die Nanodrähte auf dem λ-Chip mit einem fokusierten Ionenstrahl unterätzt werden. Der Aufwand hierzu ist jedoch relativ hoch und diese Alternative wurde deshalb nicht weiter verfolgt. Als weitere Alternative wurde der Z-Chip entwickelt. Hierbei werden die Nanodrähte auf den fertigen Chip aufgebracht und mittels Elektronenstrahl-induzierter Deposition an den elektrischen Kontakten fixiert. Der Chip ermöglicht die Messung der elektrische Leitfähigkeit in 4-Punkt-Anordnung, der Wärmeleitfähigkeit und des Seebeck-Koeffizienten an
einem einzelnen Nanodraht. Somit ist die Bestimmung der thermoelektrischen Effektivität an einem Nanodraht möglich. DesWeiteren wurden die theoretischen Grundlagen zur Bestimmung der Wärmekapazität an einzelnen Nanodrähten mit dem Z-Chip präsentiert. Zum Zeitpunkt der Durchführung dieser Arbeit fehlte jedoch das notwendige Equipment zur Ausführung der Wärmekapazitätsmessung an einzelnen Nanodrähten.
Des Weiteren wurde die Cross-Plane Methode zur Bestimmung der Wärmeleitfähigkeit an eingebetteten Nanodrähten entwickelt. Analog der Messmethode, welche für die Einzeldrahtmessungen verwendet wird, handelt es sich hierbei um eine stationäre „Joule-Heating“ Methode. Die Temperaturdifferenz wird aus der Widerstandsänderung einer auf die eingebetteten Nanodrähte aufgebrachten Heizschicht bestimmt.Mit derMethode wurde die Wärmeleitfähigkeit von BixTe1-x-Nanodrähten ermittelt.
Die elektrische Leitfähigkeit wurde von BixTe1-x-Nanodrähten unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung und Herstellungsparameter mit dem λ- und dem Z-Chip bestimmt. Die gemessenen Nanodrähte zeigen sowohl intrinsisches wie extrinsisches Leitungsverhalten verbunden mit einer, im Vergleich zum Volumenmaterial, reduzierten Temperaturabhängigkeit der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit infolge von Oberflächen- und Korngrenzenstreuung der Ladungsträger. Die elektrischen Leitfähigkeitsmessungen stimmen mit Beobachtungen anderer Gruppen gut überein.
Die Wärmeleitfähigkeit konnte an einem einzelnen BixTe1-x-Nanodraht und an eingebetteten BixTe1-x-Nanodrähten gemessen werden. Die Wärmeleitfähigkeit ist gegenüber dem Massivmaterial reduziert. Die Ergebnisse sind in guter Übereinstimmung mit bisher publizierten Ergebnissen von Bismuttellurid-Nanodrähten.
In der modernen Festkörperphysik spielen elektronisch stark korrelierte Systeme mit ihrem komplexen Vielteilchenverhalten eine zentrale Rolle. Insbesondere das Wechselspiel zwischen thermischen und Quantenfluktuationen in den Ladungs- und Spinfreiheitsgraden führt zur Entstehung verschiedenster neuartiger Grundzustände.
Die vorliegende Dissertation „Ultrasonic and Magnetic Investigations in frustrated Lowdimensional Spin Systems“ beschäftigt sich mit den besonderen physikalischen Eigenschaften niedrig dimensionaler Spinsysteme. Diese Materialklasse, die auch zu den stark korrelierten Systemen zählt, wird seit vielen Jahren intensiv sowohl experimentell als auch theoretisch untersucht. Auf theoretischer Seite sind die niedrigdimensionalen Spinsysteme besonders interessant, da sie als Modellsysteme die exakte Beschreibung des Grundzustandes und des Anregungsspektrums ermöglichen. Von experimenteller Seite ist es in den letzten Jahrzehnten gelungen, verschiedenste Materialklassen niedrigdimensionaler Spinsysteme zu synthetisieren.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die grundlegenden Theorien und physikalischen Konzepte niedrigdimensionaler Spinsysteme diskutiert. Insbesondere auch die Spin-Phonon-Wechselwirkung dieser Materialien, die für die hier beobachteten elastischen Anomalien verantwortlich ist. Weiterhin wird auch das elastische Verhalten bei magnetischen Phasenübergängen beschrieben.
Da die Ultraschallexperimente einen Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit bilden, wird der Versuchsaufbau zur phasenempfindlichen Detektion von Schallgeschwindigkeit und Ultraschalldämfung ausführlich beschrieben. Diese Messmethode ist ideal zur Untersuchung der Spin-Phonon Wechselwirkung geeignet.
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a general principle that constitutes the underlying concept of a vast number of physical phenomena ranging from ferromagnetism and superconductivity in condensed matter physics to the Higgs mechanism in the standard model of elementary particles. I focus on manifestations of spontaneously broken symmetries in systems that are not Lorentz invariant, which include both nonrelativistic systems as well as relativistic systems at nonzero density, providing a self-contained review of the properties of spontaneously broken symmetries specific to such theories. Topics covered include: (i) Introduction to the mathematics of spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Goldstone theorem. (ii) Minimization of Higgs-type potentials for higher-dimensional representations. (iii) Counting rules for Nambu–Goldstone bosons and their dispersion relations. (iv) Construction of effective Lagrangians. Specific examples in both relativistic and nonrelativistic physics are worked out in detail.
In this thesis, we have investigated strongly correlated bosonic gases in an optical lattice, mostly based on a bosonic version of dynamical mean field theory and its real-space extension. Emphasis is put on possible novel quantum phenomena of these many-body systems and their corresponding underlying physics, including quantum magnetism, pair-superfluidity, thermodynamics, many-body cooling, new quantum phases in the presence of long-range interactions, and excitational properties. Our motivation is to simulate manybody phenomena relevant to strongly correlated materials with ultracold lattice gases, which provide an excellent playground for investigating quantum systems with an unprecedented level of precision and controllability. Due to their high controllability, ultracold gases can be regarded as a quantum simulator of many-body systems in solid-state physics, high energy astrophysics, and quantum optics. In this thesis, specifically, we have explored possible novel quantum phases, thermodynamic properties, many-body cooling schemes, and the spectroscopy of strongly correlated many-body quantum systems. The results presented in this thesis provide theoretical benchmarks for exploring quantum magnetism in upcoming experiments, and an important step towards studying quantum phenomena of ultracold gases in the presence of long-range interactions.
The design, construction, and commissioning of the ALICE Time-Projection Chamber (TPC) is described. It is the main device for pattern recognition, tracking, and identification of charged particles in the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC. The TPC is cylindrical in shape with a volume close to 90 m3 and is operated in a 0.5 T solenoidal magnetic field parallel to its axis.
In this paper we describe in detail the design considerations for this detector for operation in the extreme multiplicity environment of central Pb–Pb collisions at LHC energy. The implementation of the resulting requirements into hardware (field cage, read-out chambers, electronics), infrastructure (gas and cooling system, laser-calibration system), and software led to many technical innovations which are described along with a presentation of all the major components of the detector, as currently realized. We also report on the performance achieved after completion of the first round of stand-alone calibration runs and demonstrate results close to those specified in the TPC Technical Design Report.
This paper introduces a new methodology for the fabrication of strain-sensor elements for MEMS and NEMS applications based on the tunneling effect in nano-granular metals. The strain-sensor elements are prepared by the maskless lithography technique of focused electron-beam-induced deposition (FEBID) employing the precursor trimethylmethylcyclopentadienyl platinum [MeCpPt(Me)3]. We use a cantilever-based deflection technique to determine the sensitivity (gauge factor) of the sensor element. We find that its sensitivity depends on the electrical conductivity and can be continuously tuned, either by the thickness of the deposit or by electron-beam irradiation leading to a distinct maximum in the sensitivity. This maximum finds a theoretical rationale in recent advances in the understanding of electronic charge transport in nano-granular metals.
This thesis has light mesons and their vacuum interactions as its topic. In particular, the work examines the question where the scalar antiquark-quark states are found in the physical spectrum -- in the energy region below or above 1 GeV. Contrary to the naive expectation, the mentioned states are found in the region above 1 GeV. This has consequences for the building of order parameters for the chiral symmetry breaking of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD).
P-type ATPases are membrane proteins acting as ion pumps that drive an active transport of cations across the membrane against a concentration gradient. The required energy for the ion transport is provided by binding and hydrolysis of ATP. A reaction mechanism of ion transport and energy transduction is assumed to be common for all P-type ATPases and generally described by the Post-Albers cycle. Transient currents and charge translocation of P-type ATPases were extensively investigated by electrical measurements that apply voltage jumps to initiate the reaction cycle. In this study, we simulate an applied voltage across the membrane by an electric field and perform electrostatic calculations in order to verify the experimentally-driven hypothesis that the energy transduction mechanism is regulated by specific structural elements. Side chain conformational and ionization changes induced by the electric field are evaluated for each transmembrane helix and the selectivity in response is qualitatively analyzed for the Ca2+-ATPase as well as for structural models of the Na+/K+-ATPase. Helix M5 responds with more conformer changes as compared to the other transmembrane helices what is even more emphasized when the stalk region is included. Thus our simulations support experimental results and indicate a crucial role for the highly conserved transmembrane helix M5 in the energy transduction mechanism of P-type ATPases.
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.
The subject of this thesis aimed at a better understanding of the spectacular X-ray burst. The most likely astrophysical site is a very dense neutron star, which accretes H/He-rich matter from a close companion. While falling towards the neutron star, the matter is heated up and a thermonuclear runaway is ignited. The exact description of this process is dominated by the properties of a few proton-rich radioactive isotopes, which have a low interaction probability, hence a high abundance.
The topic of this thesis was therefore an investigation of the short-lived, proton-rich isotopes 31Cl and 32Ar. The Coulomb dissociation method is the modern technique of choice. Excitations with energies up to 20 MeV can be induced by the Lorentz contracted Coulomb field of a lead target. At the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH in Darmstadt, Germany, a Ar beam was accelerated to an energy of 825 AMeV and fragmented in a beryllium target. The fragment separator was used to select the desired isotopes with a remaining energy of 650 AMeV. They were subsequently directed onto a 208 Pb target in the ALAND/LAND setup. The measurement was performed in inverse kinematics. All reaction products were detected and inclusive and exclusive measurements of the respective Coulomb dissociation cross sections were possible.
During the analysis of the experiment, it was possible to extract the energy-differential excitation spectrum of 31Cl, and to constrain astrophysically important parameters for the time-reversed 30S(p,γ)31Cl reaction. A single resonance at 0.443(37) MeV dominates the stellar reaction rate, which was also deduced and compared to previous calculations.
The integrated Coulomb dissociation cross section of this resonance was determined to 15(6) mb. The astrophysically important one- and two-proton emission channels were analyzed for 32Ar and energy-differential excitation spectra could be derived. The integrated Coulomb dissociation cross section for two proton emission were determined with two different techniques. The inclusive measurement yields a cross section of 214(29stat)(20sys) mb, whereas the exclusive reconstruction results in a cross section of 226(14stat)(23sys) mb. Both results are in very good agreement. The Coulomb dissociation cross section for the one-proton emission channel is extracted solely from the exclusive measurement and is 54(8stat)(6sys) mb.
Furthermore, the development of the Low Energy Neutron detector Array (LENA) for the upcoming R3B setup is described. The detector will be utilized in charge-exchange reactions to detect the low-energy recoil neutrons from (p,n)-type reactions. These reaction studies are of particular importance in the astrophysical context and can be used to constrain half lifes under stellar conditions. In the frame of this work, prototypes of the detector were built and successfully commissioned in several international laboratories.
The analysis was supported by detailed simulations of the detection characteristics.
In this thesis I use effective models to investigate the properties of QCD-like theories at nonzero temperature and baryon chemical potential. First I construct a PNJL model using a lattice spin model with nearestneighbor interactions for the gauge sector and four-fermion interactions for the quarks in (pseudo)real representations of the gauge group. Calculating the phase diagram in the plane of temperature and quark chemical potential in QCD with adjoint quarks, it is qualitatively confirmed that the critical temperature of the chiral phase transition is much higher than the deconfinement transition temperature. At a chemical potential equal to half of the diquark mass in the vacuum, a diquark Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) phase transition occurs. In the two-color case, a Ginzburg–Landau expansion is used to study the tetracritical behavior around the intersection point of the deconfinement and BEC transition lines which are both of second order. A compact expression for the expectation value of the Polyakov loop in an arbitrary representation of the gauge group is obtained for any number of colors, which allows us to study Casimir scaling at both nonzero temperature and chemical potential. Subsequently I study the thermodynamics of two-color QCD (QC2D) at high temperature and/or density using ZQCD, a dimensionally reduced superrenormalizable effective theory, formulated in terms of a coarse grained Wilson line. In the absence of quarks, the theory is required to respect the Z2 center symmetry, while the effects of quarks of arbitrary masses and chemical potentials are introduced via soft Z2 breaking operators. Perturbative matching of the effective theory parameters to the full theory is carried out explicitly, and it is argued how the new theory can be used to explore the phase diagram of two-color QCD.
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". ...
Seit Anbeginn der Festkörperphysik ist die Frage, warum manche Materialien metallisch sind, andere dagegen isolierend, von zentraler Bedeutung. Eine erste Erklärung wurde durch die Bändertheorie [23, 44] gegeben. Die Elektronen sind dem periodischen Potential der Rumpfatome ausgesetzt, wodurch ein Energiespektrum bestehend aus Bändern erzeugt wird und die Füllung dieser Bänder bestimmt die Leitungseigenschaften des Festkörpers. ...
Interacting ultracold gases in optical lattices: non-equilibrium dynamics and effects of disorder
(2012)
This dissertation aims at giving a theoretical description of various applications of ultracold gases. A particular focus is cast upon the dynamical evolution of bosonic condensates in non-equilibrium by means of the time-dependent Gutzwiller method. Ground state properties of strongly interacting fermionic atoms in box and speckle disordered lattices are investigated via real-space dynamical mean-field theory. ...
The first measurement of the fluctuation of the kaon-to-proton ratio in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is presented. This thesis details the analysis procedure for identifying kaons and protons using the NA49 experiment at CERN-SPS and discusses the results in the context of the current state of the field.
Feedforward inhibition and synaptic scaling are important adaptive processes that control the total input a neuron can receive from its afferents. While often studied in isolation, the two have been reported to co-occur in various brain regions. The functional implications of their interactions remain unclear, however. Based on a probabilistic modeling approach, we show here that fast feedforward inhibition and synaptic scaling interact synergistically during unsupervised learning. In technical terms, we model the input to a neural circuit using a normalized mixture model with Poisson noise. We demonstrate analytically and numerically that, in the presence of lateral inhibition introducing competition between different neurons, Hebbian plasticity and synaptic scaling approximate the optimal maximum likelihood solutions for this model. Our results suggest that, beyond its conventional use as a mechanism to remove undesired pattern variations, input normalization can make typical neural interaction and learning rules optimal on the stimulus subspace defined through feedforward inhibition. Furthermore, learning within this subspace is more efficient in practice, as it helps avoid locally optimal solutions. Our results suggest a close connection between feedforward inhibition and synaptic scaling which may have important functional implications for general cortical processing.
The miniaturization of electronics is reaching its limits. Structures necessary to build integrated circuits from semiconductors are shrinking and could reach the size of only a few atoms within the next few years. It will be at the latest at this point in time that the physics of nanostructures gains importance in our every day life. This thesis deals with the physics of quantum impurity models. All models of this class exhibit an identical structure: the simple and small impurity only has few degrees of freedom. It can be built out of a small number of atoms or a single molecule, for example. In the simplest case it can be described by a single spin degree of freedom, in many quantum impurity models, it can be treated exactly. The complexity of the description arises from its coupling to a large number of fermionic or bosonic degrees of freedom (large meaning that we have to deal with particle numbers of the order of 10^{23}). An exact treatment thus remains impossible. At the same time, physical effects which arise in quantum impurity systems often cannot be described within a perturbative theory, since multiple energy scales may play an important role. One example for such an effect is the Kondo effect, where the free magnetic moment of the impurity is screened by a "cloud" of fermionic particles of the quantum bath.
The Kondo effect is only one example for the rich physics stemming from correlation effects in many body systems. Quantum impurity models, and the oftentimes related Kondo effect, have regained the attention of experimental and theoretical physicists since the advent of quantum dots, which are sometimes also referred to as as artificial atoms. Quantum dots offer a unprecedented control and tunability of many system parameters. Hence, they constitute a nice "playground" for fundamental research, while being promising candidates for building blocks of future technological devices as well.
Recently Loss' and DiVincenzo's p roposal of a quantum computing scheme based on spins in quantum dots, increased the efforts of experimentalists to coherently manipulate and read out the spins of quantum dots one by one. In this context two topics are of paramount importance for future quantum information processing: since decoherence times have to be large enough to allow for good error correction schemes, understanding the loss of phase coherence in quantum impurity systems is a prerequisite for quantum computation in these systems. Nonequilibrium phenomena in quantum impurity systems also have to be understood, before one may gain control of manipulating quantum bits.
As a first step towards more complicated nonequilibrium situations, the reaction of a system to a quantum quench, i.e. a sudden change of external fields or other parameters of the system can be investigated. We give an introduction to a powerful numerical method used in this field of research, the numerical renormalization group method, and apply this method and its recent enhancements to various quantum impurity systems.
The main part of this thesis may be structured in the following way:
- Ferromagnetic Kondo Model,
- Spin-Dynamics in the Anisotropic Kondo and the Spin-Boson Model,
- Two Ising-coupled Spins in a Bosonic Bath,
- Decoherence in an Aharanov-Bohm Interferometer.
Untersuchung von Korrelationseffekten in der Doppelphotoemission von normal- und supraleitendem Blei
(2012)
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde für die erstmalige Untersuchung der Doppelphotoemission von supraleitenden Materialien eine neue Messapparatur aufgebaut. Mit ihr lassen sich auf eine neue Weise Korrelationseffekte zwischen zwei Elektronen untersuchen, denn beide werden für jedes Reaktionsereignis mit ihrem vollständigen Impulsvektor aufgezeichnet. Die Apparatur kann daher für einen direkten Nachweis der Cooperpaarung in Supraleitern verwendet werden. Dazu wurden ein speziell für diesen Zweck angepasstes Spektrometer, Vakuumsystem und Probenhalter konstruiert. Ein mehrfach verbessertes Vakuumsystem sorgte dafür, dass eine Bleioberfläche über einen Zeitraum von mindestens 15 Stunden nach einer Reinigung gemessen werden konnte. Das Spektrometer erlaubte die koinzidente Messung von Elektronen über einen großen Raumwinkelbereich mit ausschließlich elektrischen Feldern. Dadurch war es auch im supraleitenden Zustand möglich, die Trajektorien der Elektronen zu berechnen. Die Energieauflösung für jedes Elektron lag zwischen 1/30 und 1/50, je nach untersuchtem Emissionswinkel. Ein eigens entwickelter Probenhalter erlaubte es, eine nur von einer Seite thermisch abgeschirmte Probe auf eine Temperatur von 4,5 K zu kühlen. Die Experimente wurden an einer Beamline des Berliner Synchrotrons BESSY durchgeführt.
Von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Auswertung der Daten ist die Qualität der Pulserkennungsroutine. Sie bestimmt die Totzeit der Messapparatur, das heisst wie nahe zwei Elektronen zeitlich und räumlich beieinander liegen dürfen, um noch detektiert zu werden. Sie beeinflusst somit die Beobachtung erheblich. In den als digitalisierte Pulse aufgenommen Rohdaten besteht die Schwierigkeit darin, zwei übereinander liegende Signale als solche zu erkennen und die richtige Zeit beider Signale zu bestimmten. Dies wurde erheblich verbessert, indem ein in Vorabeiten simulierter Doppelpulsalgorithmus modifiziert und erstmalig verwendet wurde. In der Folge konnte die Totzeit deutlich verringert und daher bis zu 20% mehr Doppelereignisse gefunden werden. Darüber hinaus ließen sich Fehler bei der Zeiterkennung nahe aufeinander folgender Pulse korrigieren. Ein in diesem Zusammenhang entwickeltes Programm erzeugte durch die Addition von gemessenen Einzelpulsen künstliche Doppelereignisse mit beliebiger Abstandsverteilung und erlaubte so erstmals eine exakte Simulation der Detektortotzeit mit verschiedenen Pulserkennungsalgorithmen.
Neben den Koinzidenzereignissen wurden auch die Ergebnisse der gewöhnlichen Photoemission untersucht und mit Bandstrukturrechnungen verglichen. Aufgrund der Messmethode wurde keine Vorauswahl bezüglich des Emissionswinkels oder der kinetischen Energie getroffen. Die Ergebnisse der Fermiflächen stimmen innerhalb der erreichten Auflösung mit den theoretischen Vorhersagen überein. Ebenso konnten die Strukturen in den Parallelimpulsspektren der Elektronen, die aus lokalisierten Energieniveaus emittiert wurden, mit der Interferenz der ausgehenden Wellenfunktionen erklärt werden. Eine Simulation dieses Effekts lieferte trotz der vergleichsweise sehr niedrigen Elektronenenergien eine gute Übereinstimmung der wesentlichen Merkmale.
Es wurden Doppelphotoemissionspektren von Blei bei verschiedenen Photonenenergien im Bereich von 21,22 eV bis 40 aufgenommen. Dabei konnten verschiedene Emissionskanäle identifiziert werden. Das Korrelationsloch ist ein sehr grundlegender Effekt, der aufgrund der Coulombabstoßung und des Pauli-Prinzips auftritt und daher bei allen Metallen vorkommt. Betrachtet man das Korrelationsloch im Impulsraum, so führt es dazu, dass zwei gleichzeitig emittierte Elektronen keine ähnlichen Impulsvektoren besitzen dürfen. Durch die verbesserten Pulserkennungsalgorithmen war es möglich, das Korrelationsloch zu untersuchen und über einen weiten Energiebereich zu vermessen. Es zeigte sich wie erwartet als Verarmungszone in der Impulsverteilung eines Elektrons um den Impuls eines zweiten. Ein solcher Effekt ist mit einem einzelnen Detektor sehr schwer zu messen, da die Totzeit die gleiche Auswirkung auf die Spektren hat. Durch eine Simulation konnte ihr Einfluss in jedem Spektrum herausgefunden und so beide Effekte voneinander getrennt werden. Sie stehen damit für einen Vergleich mit einer noch zu entwickelnden theoretischen Vorhersage zur Verfügung.
Aufgrund der bei Blei sehr nahe an der Fermikante liegenden, lokalisierten Energieniveaus konnte der Augerzerfall aus dem Valenzband identifiziert und untersucht werden. Korrelationseffekte zwischen den beiden Elektronen spielten aufgrund des sehr breiten Valenzbandes wie erwartet eine untergeordnete Rolle. Dies ließ sich nachweisen, indem die Energieverteilung durch eine Selbstfaltung der Valenzbandzustandsdichte beschrieben wurde und die Winkelverteilung der Augerelektronen keine Beeinflussung durch die Emissionsrichtung der Photoelektronen zeigte. Beide Beobachtungen deuten auf einen vollständig unabhängigen Emissionsprozess der beiden Elektronen hin. Überraschenderweise zeigte sich aber eine Energieverschiebung des Photoelektrons, abhängig von der kinetischen Energie des Augerelektrons. Dieser in der Gasphase als Post-Collision-Interaction bekannte Effekt sollte aufgrund der schnellen Abschirmung der im Festkörper zurückbleibenden Löcher nicht auftauchen. Die Ursache für die Energieverschiebung ist noch unbekannt.
Für die Identifizierung der Emission von Cooperpaaren wurden Messungen oberhalb und unterhalb der Sprungtemperatur bei verschiedenen Photonenenergien zwischen 20 eV und 40 eV durchgeführt. Verschiedene Spektren wurde nach der Signatur des Prozesses untersucht. Aufgrund der geringen Statistik konnte er nicht identifiziert werden. Demnach konnte auch die theoretische Vorhersage nicht widerlegt werden. Da dieses Experiment aus technischer Sicht äußerst herausfordernd ist, war die Untersuchung von Blei, als einfach zu präparierendes Material mit hoher Sprungtemperatur, naheliegend. Es stellte sich jedoch durch die Auswertung heraus, dass es im Hinblick auf die untersuchte Fragestellung einen wesentlichen Nachteil besitzt. Die Hauptintensität befindet sich im Gegensatz zu Kupfer für alle hier verwendeten Photonenenergien bei niedrigen Elektronenenergien, so dass nur wenige Ereignisse in dem für die Cooperpaaremission interessanten Energiefenster liegen.
Das HADES-Experiment (High Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer) am SIS der GSI wurde zur Messung der e+e−-Paare dileptonischer Zerfälle der leichten Vektormesonen im Energiebereich von 1 − 2 AGeV entwickelt. Eine der Hauptanforderungen an das Spurverfolgungssystem des Spektrometers ist eine Ortsauflösung von 100 μm, die benötigt wird, um die geforderte Massenauflösung von 1 % im Bereich der !-Masse zu erzielen. Das Spurverfolgungssystem besteht aus vier Ebenen mit Vieldrahtdriftkammern (Multi-wire Drift Chambers (MDCs)) niedriger Massenbelegung (low-mass), die aus je 6 Auslesedrahtebenen bestehen. Die primäre Messgröße von Driftkammern ist die Driftzeit der entlang einer Teilchenspur generierten Elektronen der Primärionisation zum Auslesedraht. Um die gemessene Driftzeit in eine Ortskoordinate umrechnen zu können, ist eine genaue Kenntnis der Ort-Zeit-Korrelation der Driftzellen und eine präzise Kalibrierung der gemessenen Zeiten nötig. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde eine neue Methode zur Bestimmung der Kalibrierungsparameter der Driftzeiten mittels der Einkoppelung eines externen elektrischen Pulses auf die Drahtebenen der Driftkammern entwickelt und mit der herkömmlichen Methode der Kalibrierung verglichen. Zur Kalibrierung wurden elektrische Pulse durch die Hochspannungsverteilung der Driftkammern auf die Potentialdrahtebenen geleitet und somit Signale auf die Signaldrähte induziert. Die Ausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit der Signale auf den Drähten, die zur Berücksichtigung der Laufzeiten benötigt wird, wurde experimentell bestimmt. Die Genauigkeit der Methode zur Bestimmung der Kalibrierungsparameter übertrifft die Auflösung der Driftzeitmessung der Driftkammern. Die Kalibrierung der Driftzeiten benötigt nur wenig Rechen- und Zeitaufwand und stellt die Kalibrierungsparameter in gleich hoher Präzision für alle Driftzellen zur Verfügung. Die Qualität der Kalibrierung wird im Gegensatz zur herkömmlichen Methode prinzipbedingt nicht durch Fluktuationen der Startzeit des jeweiligen Stoßereignisses und die Flugzeit der dabei emittierten Teilchen zu den Driftzellen, sowie des elektronischen Rauschens beeinflusst. Die Qualität der Kalibrierung konnte gegenüber der herkömmlichen Methode signifikant verbessert werden. Die Auswirkung der Kalibrierungsparameter auf die Spurrekonstruktion wurde untersucht und für die beiden Kalibrierungsmethoden verglichen. Die Ergebnisse lassen keinen eindeutigen Schluss auf die Auswirkung der Fehler in der Kalibrierung auf die Qualität der Spurrekonstruktion zu, da die Ergebnisse der Spurrekonstruktion von anderen Effekten dominiert werden.
The study of meson production in proton-proton collisions in the energy range
up to one GeV above the production threshold provides valuable information about
the nature of the nucleon-nucleon interaction. Theoretical models describe the interaction
between nucleons via the exchange of mesons. In such models, different
mechanisms contribute to the production of the mesons in nucleon-nucleon collisions.
The measurement of total and differential production cross sections provide information
which can help in determining the magnitude of the various mechanisms.
Moreover, such cross section information serves as an input to the transport calculations
which describe e.g. the production of e+e− pairs in proton- and pion-induced
reactions as well as in heavy ion collisions.
In this thesis, the production of ω and η mesons in proton-proton collisions at 3.5
GeV beam energy was studied using the High Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer
(HADES) installed at the Schwerionensynchrotron (SIS 18) at the Helmholtzzenturm
f¨ur Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt.
About 80 000 ω mesons and 35 000 η mesons were reconstructed. Total production
cross sections of both mesons were determined. Furthermore, the collected statistics
allowed for extracting angular distributions of both mesons as well as performing
Dalitz plot studies.
The ω and η mesons were reconstructed via their decay into three pions (π+π−π0)
in the exclusive reaction pp −→ ppπ+π−π0. The charged particles were identified
via their characteristic energy loss, via the measurement of their time of flight and
momentum, or using kinematics.
The neutral pion was reconstructed using the missing mass method. A kinematic
fit was applied to improve the resolution and to select events in which a π0 was
produced.
The correction of measured yields for the effects of spectrometer acceptance was done
as a function of four variables (two invariant masses and two angles). Systematic
studies of the acceptance for different input distributions were performed.
The measured yields were normalized to the number of measured events of elastic
scattering. Systematic errors due to the methods of the data analysis and the
background subtraction were investigated.
Production angular distributions of ω and η mesons were measured. Both mesons
exhibit a slightly anisotropic angular distribution.
The Dalitz plot of ω meson production shows indications of resonant production.
However, the deviation of the distribution from the one expected by phase space
simulations is not large.
The Dalitz plot of η meson production shows a signal of the production via the
N(1535) resonance, The contribution of N(1535) to the production was quantified
to be about 47%. The angular distribution of η mesons does not show significant
differences between resonant and non resonant production.
The total production cross section of ω mesons in the reaction pp −→ ppω was
determined to be 106.5 ± 0.9 (stat) ± 7.9 (sys) [μb] where stat indicates statistical
error and sys indicates systematic error, while that of η mesons was determined to
be 136.9 ± 0.9 (stat) ± 10.1 (sys) [μb] in the reaction pp −→ ppη
Ende der 70ger Jahre, fünf Jahre nach der Einführung des ersten kommerziellen, medizinischen Computertomographen wurde die Tomographie am Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory zum ersten Mal für die Diagnose von Teilchenstrahlen angewendet. Bei der Tomographie wird aus eindimensionalen Projektionen, sogenannten Profilen, welche in möglichst vielen Winkeln um ein Objekt herum aufgenommen werden, ein zweidimensionales Abbild der Dichteverteilung (Slice oder Scheibe) approximiert. Dies ist möglich durch das bereits 1917 von Johann Radon eingeführte Fourier-Scheiben-Theorem. In der Theorie kann die zwei-dimensionale Dichteverteilung exakt ermittelt werden, wenn Projektionen mit einer unendlich feinen Auflösung über unendlich viele Winkel um ein Objekt herum in die Rekonstruktion einbezogen werden. Durch die Rekonstruktion vieler Scheiben kann ein drei-dimensionales Abbild der Dichteverteilung in einem Objekt, in diesem Fall einem Ionenstrahl, berechnet werden, sofern dieses nicht optisch dicht ist.
Die Profile in der nicht-invasiven Strahldiagnose entstehen durch CCD-Kameraaufnahmen von strahlinduzierter Fluoreszenz, welche durch den Einlass von Restgas hervorgerufen wird. Es sind aber auch Profile, welche aus anderen Methoden gewonnen werden (z.B. Gittermessungen) denkbar. An Orten mit hoher Energie ist jedoch eine nicht-invasive Form der Profilaufnahme sowohl für die Qualität des Strahls, wie auch den Schutz der Messgeräte unabdingbar.
In den letzten 40 Jahren wurden im Bereich der Strahltomographie viele wichtige Fortschritte erzielt:
1. Anfangs standen nur sehr wenige Profile zur Verfügung, so dass die Methode der gefilterten Rückprojektion(FBP), welche sich direkt aus dem Fourier-Scheiben-Theorem ableitet und welches auch in der Medizin verwendet wird, nicht angewendet werden kann. Um dieses Problem zu lösen wurden iterative Methoden wie die Algebraische Rekonstruktion (ART) und die Methode der Maximalen Entropie (MEM) für die Strahltomographie erschlossen, so dass auch mit sehr geringer Profilanzahl eine Rücktransformation möglich wurde.
2. Neben der Ortsraumtomographie wurde die Phasenraumtomografie entwickelt, so dass mittlerweile eine Rekonstruktion des sechs-dimensionalen Phasenraumes möglich ist, mit welchem ein Ionenstrahl in seiner Gesamtheit beschrieben werden kann.
3. Die Projektionen wurden lange Zeit durch Aufnahmen von mehreren festen Anschlüssen aus gewonnen (Multi-Port-Technik). Auf diese Weise ist die Anzahl der möglichen Projektionen sehr begrenzt. So entwickelte man später eine Methode welche den Strahl mit Hilfe von Quadrupolen dreht (Quad-Scan-Technik), so dass auf diese Weise von einem Anschluss aus viele Projektionen gemessen werden konnten, so dass sogar die FBP angewendet werden konnte.
4. Die meisten Bestrebungen zielten darauf ab, die Tomographie für eine nicht-invasive Emittanzmessmethode zu nutzen, welches bis heute aufgrund der großen und noch immer zunehmenden Energien in modernen Beschleunigern ein wichtiges Problem ist. Um die Tomographie zur Emittanzmessung zu verwenden, führt man eine Rekonstruktion des Phasenraumes durch. Das Problem ist, dass hierfür das a priori Wissen über die Strahltransportmatrix in die Tomographie mit einfließt, die berechnete Strahltransportmatrix
jedoch nicht mit dem tatsächlichen Strahltransport übereinstimmt, da dieser bei hohen Energien durch auftretende Raumladung nicht-linear verändert wird. Hierzu wurden gute Fortschritte in der Abschätzung der tatsächlichen Transportmatrix gemacht um die Phasenraumtomographie trotzdem mit hinreichend gutem Ergebnis durchführen zu können.
Trotz all dieser Fortschritte und Entwicklungen ist die Tomographie bis heute keine weitverbreitete Methode in der Strahldiagnose. Der Grund ist, dass das Einrichten einer Tomografie eine komplexe Abfolge etlicher Entscheidungen und weitgestreutes Wissen aus vielen unterschiedlichen Bereichen erfordert, dieser nicht zu unterschätzende Mehraufwand jedoch auch durch einen signifikanten Nutzen gerechtfertigt sein muss. Der große Nutzen der Tomographie für die Strahldiagnose und Untersuchung der Strahldynamik ist bis heute allerdings weitgehend unerkannt und weiterhin reduziert auf die Entwicklung einer nicht-invasiven Methode für die Emittanzbestimmung. Ein zweites Hindernis stellte bisher auch die Diskrepanz zwischen Genauigkeit und Platzaufwand dar (hohe Genauigkeit durch viele Projektionen mit Quad-Scan-Technik auf mehreren Metern oder niedrige Genauigkeit durch wenig Projektionen mit Multi-Port-Technik auf weniger als einem Meter). Die Tomografie kann großen Nutzen leisten für die Online-Überwachung wichtiger Maschineneparameter im Strahlbetrieb (Monitoring) als auch für detaillierte Analysen zur Strahldynamik (Modellierung) weit über die Implementierung einer nicht-invasiven Emittanzmessmethode hinaus.
Um dies zu gewährleisten Bedarf es Zweierlei. Zum einen muss die Diskrepanz zwischen Genauigkeit und Platzaufwand aufgehoben werden. Hierzu wurde im Rahmen dieser Arbeit eine rotierbare Vakuumkammer entwickelt die nach dem Vorbild medizinischer Tomographen in mehr als 5000 Winkelschritten um den Strahl herum fahren kann, dabei ein Vakuum von mindestens 10-7mbar aufrecht erhält und einen Platzbedarf von weniger als 400 mm in der Strahlstrecke einnimmt. Zum anderen muss die Implementierung der Tomografie durch eine Angabe von schematischen Schritten und Entscheidungen vereinfacht werden. Eine Strahltomographie muss immer auf ihren jeweiligen Zweck hin implementiert werden, da Einzelelemente der Tomografie wie beispielsweise Messvorrichtung und dadurch die Profilanzahl, zu verwendender Tomographiealgorithmus, zu bestimmende Parameter sich je nach Einsatz unterscheiden können. Jedoch können die dazu nötigen Entscheidungen in ein Schema eingeordnet werden, welches die Implementierung der Tomographie vereinfacht und beschleunigt. Hierzu wurde in dieser Arbeit eine Diagnosepipeline und ein Entscheidungsschema eingeführt, sowie die Implementierung nach diesem Schema am Beispiel einer Strahltomographie für die Frankfurter Neutronenquelle (FRANZ) demonstriert und die entsprechenden Fragen und Entscheidungen diskutiert. Es wird gezeigt, wie sich aus den Messdaten über die Aufbereitung der Daten durch die Tomografie die erforderlichen Standardstrahlparameter für ein Monitoring gewinnen lassen. Zusätzlich wird ein Ebenen-Modell eingeführt, über welches nicht-Standardparameter oder neu modellierte Strahlparameter für detaillierte Analysen der Strahldynamik über die Standardparameter hinaus entwickelt werden können. Diese Arbeit soll ein grundlegendes Konzept für die routinemäßige Implementierung der Tomographie in der Strahldiagnose zur Verfügung stellen. Für die Verwendung zum Monitoring im Strahlbetrieb muss die Bestimmung von Standardparametern noch wesentlich im Zeitaufwand verbessert werden. Die Verwendung der Phasenraumtomographie benötigt noch eine Idee um den arcustangensförmigen Verlauf der berechneten Phasenraumrotationswinkel mit der Forderung der FBP nach äquidistanten Projektionswinkeln verträglicher zu machen.
Zur Erforschung des Strahlstransports durch zwei Toroidsegmente wurden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit theoretische Betrachtungen, Simulationen und experimentelle Untersuchungen durchgeführt. Dazu wurde ein toroidaler Teststand, bestehend aus zwei 30 Grad Toroidsegmenten mit einer magnetischen Feldstärke von 0,6 T und einer Driftsektion zwischen diesen beiden Magneten von 400 mm Länge, verwendet. Von einer Volumenionenquelle wurde ein Wasserstoffionenstrahl erzeugt und dieser mittels eines Solenoids angepasst und in das erste Toroidsegment eingeschossen. Mit Hilfe eines beweglichen Detektors konnte der Ionenstrahl an jeder Position im Rezipienten beim Transport durch den toroidalen Aufbau experimentell untersucht und vermessen werden.
Bei den Experimenten mit dem vorhandenen Detektor konnten auf den Aufnahmen der Leuchtdichteverteilung starke Sekundärelektroneneffekte beobachtet werden, welche die Untersuchung des Ionenstrahls mit dem Detektor erschwerten oder teilweise ganz unmöglich machten. Aus diesem Grund wurde zur Unterdrückung dieser Elektronen eine Wasserstoffatmosphäre im Rezipienten aufgebaut, welche die Elektronen stärker absorbiert als die Ionen und damit die Beobachtung des Ionenstrahls ermöglichen sollte. Auf diesem Wege lässt sich das transversale Verhalten des Strahls beim Strahltransport durch die toroidalen Magnetfelder mit dem vorhandenen Detektor untersuchen. Die Auswirkungen des Wasserstoffgases auf die geladenen Teilchen wurden dabei theoretisch und experimentell untersucht und analysiert. Die Auswirkung von Helium-, Stickstoff- und Argongas auf den Ionenstrahl und die Elektronen wurde in diesem Zusammenhang experimentell betrachtet.
Des Weiteren wurde mit Hilfe des Computerprogramms TBT der Strahltransport durch die zwei toroidalen Magnetfeldsegmente unter Verwendung von Referenzeinstellungen simuliert und die Ergebnisse mit den theoretischen und experimentellen Daten des Strahltransports verglichen. Bei diesen Simulationen konnten die Gyrationsbewegungen sowie die Transmission des Ionenstrahls durch die Driftsektion genauer untersucht werden.
Da die Magnetfelder der Toroidsegmente auch in der Driftsektion als Führungsfelder dienen sollen, sind die im experimentellen Aufbau verwendeten Toroidsegmente nicht magnetisch geschirmt. Dies hat zur Folge, dass das von den Magneten erzeugte Feld Auswirkungen auf andere Komponenten des toroidalen Teststandes besitzt. Aus diesem Grund wurden die Auswirkungen dieser Magnetfelder auf die Ionenquelle sowie auf das Druckmesssystem des Teststands genauer betrachtet.
Proceedings of 4th International Workshop "Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement", July 9-13, 2007, Darmstadt, Germany: The multiplicity fluctuations of hadrons are studied within the statistical hadron-resonance gas model in the large volume limit. The role of quantum statistics and resonance decay effects are discussed. The microscopic correlator method is used to enforce conservation of three charges - baryon number, electric charge, and strangeness - in the canonical ensemble. In addition, in the micro-canonical ensemble energy conservation is included. An analytical method is used to account for resonance decays. The multiplicity distributions and the scaled variances for negatively and positively charged hadrons are calculated for the sets of thermodynamical parameters along the chemical freeze-out line of central Pb+Pb (Au+Au) collisions from SIS to LHC energies. Predictions obtained within different statistical ensembles are compared with the preliminary NA49 experimental results on central Pb+Pb collisions in the SPS energy range. The measured fluctuations are significantly narrower than the Poisson ones and clearly favor expectations for the micro-canonical ensemble. Thus, this is a first observation of the recently predicted suppression of the multiplicity fluctuations in relativistic gases in the thermodynamical limit due to conservation laws.
The objective of this work is twofold. First, we explore the performance of the density functional theory (DFT) when it is applied to solids with strong electronic correlations, such as transition metal compounds. Along this direction, particular effort is put into the refinement and development of parameterization techniques for deriving effective models on a basis of DFT calculations. Second, within the framework of the DFT, we address a number of questions related to the physics of Mott insulators, such as magnetic frustration and electron-phonon coupling (Cs2CuCl4 and Cs2CuBr4), high-temperature superconductivity (BSCCO) and doping of Mott insulators (TiOCl). In the frustrated antiferromagnets Cs2CuCl4 and Cs2CuBr4, we investigate the interplay between strong electronic correlations and magnetism on one hand and electron-lattice coupling on the other as well as the effect of this interplay on the microscopic model parameters. Another object of our investigations is the oxygen-doped cuprate superconductor BSCCO, where nano-scale electronic inhomogeneities have been observed in scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiments. By means of DFT and many-body calculations, we analyze the connection between the structural and electronic inhomogeneities and the superconducting properties of BSCCO. We use the DFT and molecular dynamic simulations to explain the microscopic origin of the persisting under doping Mott insulating state in the layered compound TiOCl.
The KADoNiS (Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars) project is an online
database (www.kadonis.org) for cross sections relevant to the s-process and the p-process.
The first version was an updated sequel to the previous Bao et al. [1] compilations from 1987
and 2000 for (n; g) cross sections relevant to Big Bang and s-process nucleosynthesis. The first
update, KADoNiS v0.2, was published in 2006 [2]. It contained mainly Maxwellian averaged
(n; g) cross sections relevant to the s-process, and some experimental charged particle induced
reaction relevant to the p-process. After that a second update was presented in 2009 [3].
Recently, we started to collect and review all existing experimental data relevant for p-process
nucleosynthesis and to provide a user-friendly database based on the KADoNiS framework. The
p-process part of the KADoNiS database is currently being extended and will include all available
experimental data from (p; g), (p;n), (p;a), (a,g), (a;n) and (a; p) reactions in or close to the
respective Gamow window.
Epileptische Anfälle, unabhängig von ihrer Art und Auftrittshäufigkeit, bilden eine Symptomatik, welche bei ca. 1% der Weltbevölkerung auftritt. Hierbei kann es beispielsweise zu unkontrollierten Muskelkrämpfen kommen, ebenso aber zu einer Vielzahl anderer Symptome, die in ihrer Gesamtheit das Krankheitsbild der sogenannten Epileptogenesis bilden. Bei etwa zwei Drittel der an Epilepsie leidenden Patienten kann in vielen Fällen Anfallsfreiheit im Rahmen einer medikamentösen Therapie erreicht werden. Dies umso besser, wenn die Medikation präventiv zum geeigneten Zeitpunkt erfolgen könnte. Demzufolge würden in einer großen Anzahl von Fällen Patienten von einem System profitieren, das eine automatisierte zuverlässige Anfallsvorhersage ermöglicht. Bei nur 20% der anderen Patienten kann eine chirurgische Behandlung erfolgreich sein.
In dieser Arbeit soll eine weitergehende Untersuchung des im Institut für Angewandte Physik der Johann Wolfgang Goethe- Universität entwickelten Prädiktionsverfahrens an verschiedenen EEG-Registrierungen unterschiedlicher Patienten erfolgen. Dabei soll im speziellen untersucht werden, ob basierend auf den Resultaten einer Signalprädiktion eine Unterscheidung zwischen Voranfallszeitraum, Anfall und anfallsfreier Phase getroffen werden kann, und ob basierend auf den Kenngrößen eines Prädiktors und des Prädiktionsfehlers eine Merkmalsdefinition gefunden werden kann, welche in einem späteren, implantierbaren Frühwarnsystem eine automatisierte Anfallsvorhersage ermöglicht. Als Datenbasis sollen vier Langzeit-EEG-Registrierungen mit einer Länge von jeweils 5 – 10 Tagen zugrunde gelegt werden. Zur Prädiktion sollen zeitdiskrete, gedächtnisbehaftete, mehrschichtige Zellulare Nichtlineare Netzwerke herangezogen werden. Dabei soll insbesondere anhand von unterschiedlichen Netzwerken festgestellt werden, inwieweit mittels einer Signalprädiktion Synchronisationseffekte zwischen EEG-Signalen verschiedener Hirnareale festgestellt werden können.
Das Antiprotonen-Experiment PANDA an der zukünftigen Beschleunigeranlage FAIR wird unter anderem Charmonium-Zustände mit einer bis dato unerreichten Genauigkeit messen können. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, wird eine sehr gute Teilchenidentifikationsfähigkeit verlangt. Eine gute Trennung zwischen Pionen und Kaonen wird durch den Einsatz eines Cherenkovdetektors erreicht. Die Leistungsfähigkeit eines DIRC hängt von dessen Radiatorgüte ab. Um die Qualität der Radiatorstäbe spezifizieren zu können, wurde im Rahmen dieser Doktorarbeit eine optische Messapparatur entwickelt. Dieser Aufbau erlaubt es die Transmission sowie die Oberflächenrauheit der Stäbe zu messen. Es wurden mehrere Radiatorstäbe aus synthetischem Quarzglas und Acrylglas untersucht. Die Messgenauigkeit bei hochqualitativen Stäben liegt für die Transmissionsmessung bei etwa 1 Promille und für die Rauheit bei 1-2 Angström. Die Messergebnisse bei verschiedenen Wellenlängen zeigen eine gute Übereinstimmung mit der skalaren Streutheorie, die den Zusammenhang zwischen Reflexionskoeffizienten und Rauheit beschreibt. Bei einer Strahlzeit an der GSI mit einem 2 GeV Protonenstrahl wurde ein erster Prototyp für den Barrel-DIRC mit einem Stab aus synthetischem Quarzglas als Radiator getestet. Durch Variation des Einfallswinkels und der Position des Protonenstrahls auf dem Radiator konnten Cherenkovringe eindeutig nachgewiesen werden. Zudem wurde der Cherenkovwinkel und die Einzelphotonauflösung in guter Übereinstimmung mit dem Erwartetem und der Simulation bestimmt.
Nanotechnology is a rapidly developing branch of science, which is focused on the study of phenomena at the nanometer scale, in particular related to the possibilities of matter manipulation. One of the main goals of nanotechnology is the development of controlled, reproducible, and industrially transposable nanostructured materials.
The conventional technique of thin-film growth by deposition of atoms, small atomic clusters and molecules on surfaces is the general method, which is often used in nanotechnology for production of new materials. Recent experiments show, that patterns with different morphology can be formed in the course of nanoparticles deposition process on a surface. In this context, predicting of the final architecture of the growing materials is a fundamental problem worth studying.
Another factor, which plays an important role in industrial applications of new materials, is the question of post-growth stability of deposited structures. The understanding of the post-growth relaxation processes would give a possibility to estimate the lifetime of the deposited material depending on the conditions at which the material was fabricated. Controllable post-growth manipulations with the architecture of deposited structures opens new path for engineering of nanostructured materials.
The task of this thesis is to advance understanding mechanisms of formation and post-growth evolution of nanostructured materials fabricated by atomic clusters deposition on a surface. In order to achieve this goal the following main problems were addressed:
1. The properties of isolated clusters can significantly differ from those of analogous clusters occurring on a solid surface. The difference is caused by the interaction between the cluster and the solid. Therefore, the understanding of structural and dynamical properties of an atomic cluster on a surface is a topic of intense interest from the scientific and technological point of view. In the thesis, stability, energy, and geometry of an atomic cluster on a solid surface were studied using a liquid drop approach which takes into account the cluster-solid interaction. Geometries of the deposited clusters are compared with those of isolated clusters and the differences are discussed.
2. The formation scenarios of patterns on a surface in the course of the process of cluster deposition depend strongly on the dynamics of deposited clusters. Therefore, an important step towards predicting pattern morphology is to study dynamics of a single cluster on a surface. The process of cluster diffusion on a surface was modeled with the use of classical molecular dynamics technique, and the diffusion coefficients for the silver nanoclusters were obtained from the analysis of trajectories of the clusters. The dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the system’s temperature and cluster-surface interaction was established. The results of the calculations are compared with the available experimental results for the diffusion coefficient of silver clusters on graphite surface.
3. The methods of classical molecular dynamics cannot be used for modeling the self-assembly processes of atomic clusters on a surface, because these processes occur on the minutes timescale, what would require an unachievable computer resource for the simulation. Based on the results of molecular dynamics simulations for a single cluster on a surface a Monte-Carlo based approach has been developed to describe the dynamics of the self-assembly of nanoparticles on a surface. This method accounts for the free particle diffusion on a surface, aggregation into islands and detachment from these islands. The developed method is allowed to study pattern formation of structures up to thousands nm, as well as the stability of these structures. Developed method was implemented in MBN Explorer computer package.
4. The process of the pattern formation on a surface was modeled for several different scenarios. Based on the analysis of results of simulations was suggested a criterion, which can be used to distinguish between different patterns formed on a surface, for example: between fractals or compact islands.This criteria can be used to predict the final morphology of a growing structure.
5. The post-growth evolution of patterns on a surface was also analyzed. In particular, attention in the thesis is payed to a systematical theoretical analysis of the post-growth processes occurring in nanofractals on a surface. The time evolution of fractal morphology in the course of the post-growth relaxation was analyzed, the results of these calculations were compared with experimental data available for the post-growth relaxation of silver cluster fractals on graphite substrate.
All the aforementioned problems are discussed in details in the thesis.
This thesis deals with the simulation, optimization and realization of quasi-optical scanning systems for active THz cameras. Active THz cameras are sensitive in the THz regime of the electromagnetic spectrum and are suitable for the detection of metal objects such as weapons behind clothing or fabrics (maybe for security applications) or material investigation. An advantage of active THz-systems is the possibility to measure the phase of the THz-radiation and thus to reconstruct the surface topography of the objects under test. Due to the coherent illumination and the required system parameters (like image field size, working distance and lateral resolution) the optical systems (in the THz region often called quasi-optical systems) must be optimized. Specifically, the active illumination systems require highly optimized quasioptical systems to achieve a good image quality. Since currently no suitable multi-pixel detectors are available, the object has to be scanned in one or two dimensions in order to cover a full field of view. This further reinforces the occurring aberrations. The dissertation covers, alongside the underlying theory, the simulation, optimisation and realisation of three different active THz systems. The subdivision of the chapters is as follows: Chapter 1 deals with a motivation. Chapter 2 develops the underlying theory and it is demonstrated that the geometrical optics is an adequate and powerful description of the image field optimization. It also addresses the developed analytic on-axis and the off-axis image field optimization routine. Chapter 3, 4 and 5 are about the basis of various active THz cameras, each presented a major system aspect. Chapter 3 shows how active THz-cameras with very high system dynamics range can be realised. Within this chapter it could although be demonstrated how very high depth resolution can be achieved due to the coherent and active illumination and how high refresh rate can be implemented. Chapter 4 shows how absolute distance data of the objects under test can be obtained. Therefore it is possible to reconstruct the entire object topography up to a fraction of the wavelength. Chapter 5 shows how off-axis quasi-optical systems must be optimized. It is also shown how the illumination geometry of the active THz systems must be changed to allow for real-time frame rates. The developed widened multi-directional lighting approach also fixes the still existing problem of phase ambiguity of the single phase measurement. Within this chapter, the world’s first active real-time camera with very high frame rates around 10 Hz is presented. This could be only realized with the highly optimised quasioptical system and the multi-directional lighting approach. The paper concludes with a summary and an outlook for future work. Within the outlook some results regarding the simulation of synthetic aperture radar systems and metamaterials are shown.
Im Rahmen des Programms zur Intensitätserhöhung am Universal Linear Accelerator UNILAC für das Element Uran hat sich die Forderung nach einer Ionenquelle ergeben, die einen intensiven, hochbrillianten Ionenstrahl aus vierfach geladenen Uranionen bereitstellen kann. Ziel war es, im Zusammenspiel von Ionenquelle, Nachbeschleunigungssystem und Niederenergiestrahlführung einen Strahlstrom von mindestens 15 emA U4+ am Eingang des RFQ-Beschleunigers bereitzustellen. Die vorliegende Arbeit befaßt sich mit den Optimierungen und den experimentellen Untersuchungen an der Vakuumbogenionenquelle VARIS für den Uranbetrieb, welche schließlich ihre Leistungsfähigkeit an der Beschleunigeranlage der GSI erfolgreich unter Beweis gestellt hat. Der erste Teil dieser Arbeit widmet sich der Theorie der Vakuumbogenentladung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Erzeugung von U4+. Die Generierung von U4+ erfolgt dabei zu einem Teil im dichten Kathodenspotplasma, wo das Ionisationspotential von 31 auf 21 eV herabgesetzt ist, U4+ also bei vergleichsweise niedrigen Elektronenenergien erzeugt werden kann. Der U4+-Anteil beträgt jedoch nur 30 %. Die Erzeugung eines höheren Anteils an U4+ ist geknüpft an zusätzlich Ionisationsvorgänge im expandierenden Zwischenelektrodenplasma, für welches eine neuartige Theorie (MHD Ansatz) angegeben werden konnte. Für die Vakuumbogenentladung im axialen Magnetfeld konnte eine Erhöhung der Elektronentemperatur vorhersagt werden, die für eine höhere Ionisationsrate für U4+ verantwortlich ist. Für die Elektronentemperatur wurde bei einer magnetischen Flußdichte von 40 mT ein Wert von 10 eV vorhergesagt, welcher experimentell bestätigt werden konnte. Zieht man zudem die berechneten Wirkungsquerschnitte für die Ein- und Mehrfachionisation heran, so konnte aus den Wirkungsquerschnitten vorausgesagt werden, daß für die Produktion eines hohen Anteils an U4+ eine Elektronenenergie von zirka 50 eV für die Generierung von U4+ aus U3+ erforderlich ist. Im weiteren wurde ausgeführt, wie ein Extraktionssystem ausgelegt sein muß, welches den Forderungen nach einem Gesamtstrom von 140 mA entspricht oder diesen übertrifft. Das Erreichen dieses Stroms ist im Einlochextraktionssystem mit Schwierigkeiten verbunden (große Emissionsfläche, langes Extraktionssystem, Extraktionsspannung zirka 180 kV). Aus diesen Gründen ist die Entscheidung zugunsten eines Extraktionssystem mit 13 Öffnungen mit einem Durchmesser von jeweils 3 mm gefallen. Die Gesamtemissionsfläche aller Aperturen liegt bei 0,92 cm2. Zur Bestimmung der Strahlformierung einer Öffnung im Extraktionssystem ist das Strahlsimulationsprogramm KOBRA3INP unter Berücksichtigung einer experimentell gut zugänglichen Feldstärke von 11 kV/mm bei einem Aspektverhältnis von 0,5 genutzt worden. Es ergab sich ein minimaler Divergenzwinkel von etwa 55 mrad, die unnormierte effektive Emittanz geht mit steigender Stromdichte asymptotisch einem Wert von 65p mm mrad entgegen. Für das Extraktionssystem (13 Öffnungen) kann die unnormierte effektive Emittanz zu 610p mm mrad abgeschätzt werden. Die Stromdichte, welche der Plasmagenerator bereitstellen muß, beträgt etwa 1600 A/m2. Die Extraktionsspannung liegt bei 32 kV, welche, ebenso wie die Stromdichte, experimentell erreicht wurde. Bei den experimentellen Untersuchungen wurde zunächst untersucht, inwieweit die Impedanz des Vakuumbogenplasmas gesteigert werden kann. Ziel war es, eine möglichst hohe Plasmaimpedanz und damit eine hohe Bogenspannung zu erhalten, wodurch die erreichbare Elektronenenergie vergrößert wird (Regelung der Bogenspannung durch die Plasmaimpedanz). Es ist gezeigt worden, daß die Impedanz vor allem durch eine geeignete Magnetfeldkonfiguration erhöht werden kann (axiales Feld). Ebenso sind die Geometrie der Ionenquelle (Abstand Kathode-Anode 15 mm, Anodenöffnung 15 mm) und die verwendeten Materialien (Anode aus Edelstahl, kleiner Sputterkoeffizient und Sekundärelektronenaus97 löse) entscheidend, wobei zugunsten eines zuverlässigen Zündverhaltens der Ionenquelle die Entscheidung für eine Anodenöffnung von 15 mm statt 25 mm gefallen ist. So erreicht man für eine magnetische Flußdichte von 120 mT bei einem Bogenstrom von 700 A eine Bogenspannung von 54 V, wodurch die Erzeugung bis zu sechsfach geladenen Uranionen möglich wird. Um grundlegende Eigenschaften des Vakuumbogenplasmas zu bestimmen und das theoretische Modell zur Erzeugung von U4+ zu überprüfen, wurden die Ionen- und Elektronenenergieverteilung im Plasma gemessen ...
The HADES (High Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer) is an experimental
apparatus installed at the heavy-ion synchrotron SIS-18 at GSI, Darmstadt.
The main physics motivation of the HADES experiment is the measurement
of e+e− pairs in the invariant-mass range up to 1 GeV/c2 in heavy-ion collisions
as well as in pion and proton-induced reactions.
The HADES physics program is focused on in-medium properties of the light
vector mesons ρ(770), ω(783) and φ(1020), which decay with a small branching
ratio into dileptons. Dileptons are penetrating probes which allow to study
the in-medium properties of hadrons. However, in heavy-ion collisions, the
measurement of such lepton pairs is difficult because they are rare and have a
very large combinatorial background.
Recently, HADES has been upgraded with new detectors and new electronics
in order to handle higher intensity beams and reactions with heavy nuclei up
to Au.
HADES will continue for a few more years its rich physics program at its
current place at SIS-18 and then move to the upcoming international Facility
for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) accelerator complex. In this context
the physics results presented in this work are important prerequisites for the investigation
of in-medium vector meson properties in p + A and A+A collisions.
This work consists of five chapters. The first chapter introduces the physics
motivation and a review of recent physics results. In the second chapter, the
HADES spectrometer is described and its sub-detectors are presented. Chapter
three deals with the issue of lepton identification and the reconstruction of
the dielectron spectra in p + p collisions is presented. Here, two reactions
are characterized: inclusive and exclusive dilepton production reactions. From
the spectra obtained, the corresponding cross sections are presented with the
respective statistical and systematical errors. A comparison with theoretical
models is included as well. Conclusions are given in chapter four.
The final part of this work is dedicated to the HADES upgrade, whose goal
is among others the achievement of a reliable and fast data acquisition of the
Multiwire Drift Chambers (MDCs). Chapter five presents my contribution to
this successful project during the three years of my stay at GSI.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Gestaltung eines Teststandes für die optische Tomographie eines Ionenstrahles untersucht. Nachdem Ionenstrahlen hoher Intensität immer mehr Leistung in den Diagnosegeräten deponieren, müssen neue nicht Strahlzerstörende Diagnosemethoden gefunden werden. Die Diagnose mittels strahlinduziertem Restgasleuchten ist dabei eine viel versprechende nicht zerstörende Methode. Neben der Definition der Anforderungen für einen solchen Teststand werden verschiedene Realisierungsmöglichkeiten untersucht. Mit einem Testaufbau wird das strahlinduzierte Leuchten in Abhängigkeit verschiedener Restgase und Restgasdrücke untersucht, sowie die Eigenschaften des optischen Systems und der Kamera analysiert. Weiterhin wird die Möglichkeit der Emittanzbestimung aus einer optischen Aufnahme mit vorhandenen Methoden untersucht.
Chapter 1 contains the general background of our work. We briefly discuss important aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and introduce the concept of the chiral condensate as an order parameter for the chiral phase transition. Our focus is on the concept of universality and the arguments why the O(4) model should fall into the same universality class as the effective Lagrangian for the order parameter of (massless) two-flavor QCD. Chapter 2 pedagogically explains the CJT formalism and is concerned with the WKB method. In chapter 3 the CJT formalism is then applied to a simple Z(2) symmetric toy model featuring a one-minimum classical potential. As for all other models we are concerned with in this thesis, we study the behavior at nonzero temperature. This is done in 1+3 dimensions as well as in 1+0 dimensions. In the latter case we are able to compare the effective potential at its global minimum (which is minus the pressure) with our result from the WKB approximation. In chapter 4 this program is also carried out for the toy model with a double-well classical potential, which allows for spontaneous symmetry breaking and tunneling. Our major interest however is in the O(2) model with the fields treated as polar coordinates. This model can be regarded as the first step towards the O(4) model in four-dimensional polar coordinates. Although in principle independent, all subjects discussed in this thesis are directly related to questions arising from the investigation of this particular model. In chapter 5 we start from the generating functional in cartesian coordinates and carry out the transition to polar coordinates. Then we are concerned with the question under which circumstances it is allowed to use the same Feynman rules in polar coordinates as in cartesian coordinates. This question turns out to be non-trivial. On the basis of the common Feynman rules we apply the CJT formalism in chapter 6 to the polar O(2) model. The case of 1+0 dimensions was intended to be a toy model on the basis of which one could more easily explore the transition to polar coordinates. However, it turns out that we are faced with an additional complication in this case, the infrared divergence of thermal integrals. This problem requires special attention and motivates the explicit study of a massless field under topological constraints in chapter 8. In chapter 7 we investigate the cartesian O(2) model in 1+0 dimensions. We compare the effective potential at its global minimum calculated in the CJT formalism and via the WKB approximation. Appendix B reviews the derivation of standard thermal integrals in 1+0 and 1+3 dimensions and constitutes the basis for our CJT calculations and the discussion of infrared divergences. In chapter 9 we discuss the so-called path integral collapse and propose a solution of this problem. In chapter 10 we present our conclusions and an outlook. Since we were interested in organizing our work as pedagogical as possible within the narrow scope of a diploma thesis, we decided to make extensive use of appendices. Appendices A-H are intended for students who are not familiar with several important concepts we are concerned with. We will refer to them explicitly to establish the connection between our work and the general context in which it is settled.
The influence of visual tasks on short and long-term memory for visual features was investigated using a change-detection paradigm. Subjects completed 2 tasks: (a) describing objects in natural images, reporting a specific property of each object when a crosshair appeared above it, and (b) viewing a modified version of each scene, and detecting which of the previously described objects had changed. When tested over short delays (seconds), no task effects were found. Over longer delays (minutes) we found the describing task influenced what types of changes were detected in a variety of explicit and incidental memory experiments. Furthermore, we found surprisingly high performance in the incidental memory experiment, suggesting that simple tasks are sufficient to instill long-lasting visual memories. Keywords: visual working memory, natural scenes, natural tasks, change detection
The phenomenon of magnetism is a pure quantum effect and has been studied since the beginning of civilization. The practical use of magnetic materials for technical purposes was well established in the 19th century; still nowadays there is no lack of new high-tech applications based on magnetism for example in information technology to store and process data. This thesis does not focus on the development of new applications of magnetism in technology, nor enhancement of known fields of application. Instead, the intention is to use a quantum theory of magnetism for obtaining new insights on physical effects that accompany the phenomenon of magnetism. Therefore three different model systems, each of which are believed to describe a class of real compounds, are considered. Starting from the idea that magnetism can be understood by use of the so-called Heisenberg model that microscopically characterizes the interaction between localized magnetic moments, we restrict ourselves to the case where a long-range magnetic order is present. In order to deduce consequences resulting from this microscopic picture we use the spin-wave theory that is introduced in the first chapter. Central objects of this theory are the magnons which are elementary quantum excitations in ordered magnets. An application of these mathematical techniques to a model that describes an antiferromagnet in an external magnetic field is presented in the second chapter. Quantities like the spin-wave velocity and the damping of magnons are calculated using a Hermitian operator approach in the framework of spin-wave theory. A strong renormalization of the magnetic excitations arises because the symmetry of the system is reduced due to the external magnetic field. In the second model system, that describes thin films of a ferromagnet, concepts of classical physics meet quantum physics: The magnetic dipole-dipole interaction that is also known in everyday life from the magnetic forces between magnets and was initially formulated in the theory of electromagnetism, is included in the microscopic model. Having a special compound in mind where the magnetic excitations are directly accessible in experiments, the energy dispersions of magnon modes in thin-film ferromagnets are deduced. Our approach is essentially a basis for further investigations beyond this thesis to describe strong correlations and condensation of magnons. A recent realization of data processing devices with spin waves puts the understanding of physical processes in these ferromagnetic films in the focus of upcoming research. The third model system brings in the so-called frustration where the interactions between the spins are such that the total energy cannot be minimized by an appropriate alignment of the magnetic moments in the classical picture. In the simplest case this appears because the antiferromagnetically coupled spins are located on a triangular lattice. This situation will lead to strong quantum fluctuations which make this model system interesting. Finally the overall symmetry is reduced by inclusion of spin anisotropies and an external magnetic field. Instead of focusing on the properties of the magnetic excitations, the effect of the magnetic field on the properties of the lattice vibrations is subject to the investigation. This is interesting because the characteristics of lattice vibrations can be measured experimentally using the supersonic technique.
In this work we present a study of the influence of nucleus initializations on the event-by-event elliptic flow coefficient, v2. In most Monte-Carlo models, the initial positions of the nucleons in a nucleus are completely uncorrelated, which can lead to very high density regions. In a simple, yet more realistic model where overlapping of the nucleons is avoided, fluctuations in the initial conditions are reduced. However, v2 distributions are not very sensitive to the initialization choice.
