The Cryogenic Source of Slow Monochromatic Positrons

The cryogenic source of slow monochromatic positrons based on the 22Na isotope has been designed and constructed at JINR. Positrons emitted from radioactive source 22Na have a very broad energy spectrum up to 0.5 MeV. To generate monochromatic beam of slow positrons the solid neon is used as a moderator. The solid neon allows forming slow positron beam of the energy of 1.2 eV at the spectrum width of 1 eV. The efficiency of moderation is 1% of total positron flux.

Search for the Ring-Like Structures in the Emission of Secondary Particles in Central 197Au Collisions with Emulsion Nuclei at 11.6A GeV/c

Angular spectra of the relativistic secondary particles produced in Au + Em nuclear collisions at 11.6A GeV/c are analyzed by the method of continuous wavelet transform in order to search for the ring-like structures which could indicate either the production of Cherenkov gluons or the occurrence of Mach shock waves in excited nuclear matter. The analysis is based on the assumption that the presence of the above-mentioned effects would be manifested by excess of particles at some characteristic pseudorapidities. In addition, the involved particles are expected to be azimuthally uniformly distributed. The irregularities are revealed in the wavelet pseudorapidity spectra in the scale pseudorapidity region up to 0.5. These irregularities are interpreted as the preferred pseudorapidities of groups of emitted particles. The performed study of the azimuthal structure of the above-mentioned pseudorapidity irregularities suggests that they are not related to the sought ring-like structures.

Thick Si(Li) Coaxial Detectors for Registration of Intermediate Energy Heavy Ions

Thick coaxial Si(Li) detectors are fabricated to register long-range high-ionizing reaction products with high resolution. It is shown that charge collection efficiency and resolution strongly depend on cooling temperature and magnitude of voltage applied. The test experiments have shown that coaxial detectors are capable of registering the intermediate energy heavy ions with 0.5-0.7% resolution. The energy losses in entrance window of the detector are less than 100 keV.

Microscopic Approach to the Heavy Ion Scattering with Excitation of Nuclear Collective States

The density distribution of a deformed target nucleus is presented as the spherically symmetrical (l=0) and the deformed (l=2) parts. On this basis, the corresponding parts U0 and Uint of a double-folding microscopic nucleus-nucleus optical potential are obtained. Then, with these potentials and using the coupled-channel method, the elastic and inelastic amplitudes are calculated of the 17O heavy ion scattering on various target nuclei with excitation of their collective 2+ states. Besides, the same cross-sections are calculated basing on the adiabatic approach of the eikonal approximation, where inelastic amplitude is the linear function of Uint(2). Both results are compared with experimental data, and the capabilities of them to search deformation parameters of nuclei are discussed.

About the First Experiment on Investigation of 129I, 237Np, 238Pu and 239}Pu Transmutation at the Nuclotron 2.52 GeV Deuteron Beam in Neutron Field Generated in U/Pb-Assembly "Energy Plus Transmutation"

Preliminary results of the first experiment with deuteron beam with energy 2.52 GeV at the electronuclear setup which consists of Pb-target (diameter 8.4 cm, length 45.6 cm) and natU-blanket (206.4 kg), transmutation samples of 129I, 237Np, 238Pu and 239Pu (radioecological aspect) are described. Hermetically sealed samples in notable amounts are gathered in atomic reactors and setups of industries which use nuclear materials and nuclear technologies were irradiated in the field of neutrons produced in the Pb-target and propagated in the natU-blanket. Estimates of transmutations were obtained as result of measurements of gamma activities of the samples. The information about the space and energy distribution of neutrons in the volume of the lead target and the uranium blanket was obtained with help of sets of activation threshold detectors (Al, Co, Y, I, Au, Bi and others), solid-state nuclear track detectors, 3He neutron detectors and nuclear emulsion. Comparison of the experimental data with the results of simulation with the MCNPX program was performed.

Reconstruction of Parameters of Cluster Break-Up of Light Nuclei

Kinematics of the two-body Coulomb break-up of the prototype 11В nucleus into the fragments He and Li is discussed. The analysis of factors influencing the measurement accuracy of break-up parameters is presented. Estimates of measurement spreads for break-up parameters are deduced to use them for reconstruction of cluster break-up primary parameters. The method of determination of unknown contamination in the target is discussed. The procedure is used to separate the true events from the backgrounds. The background factors occurring in the fragmentation reactions of heavy ions are described. The random coincidence rate from intensive loads of detectors by parasitic products is estimated. The preliminary magnetic analysis of correlated clusters is proposed to reduce the power flow background particles and to improve energy resolution.

On-Line Thermoemission Ion Source Efficiency

The calculations of thermoemission ion source efficiency were performed for different ionizer models. The calculations show that source efficiency is strongly influenced by geometry and dimensions of the ionizer (its length and the size of the extraction hole). The value of extraction voltage (i.e. voltage between the ionizer and the extraction electrode) is also very important. The construction of the ion source should enable electric field to penetrate deep into the ionizer volume.

New Algorithms of Discrete Transformations for Digital Spectral Measurement of Non-Stationary Signals in Real Time

New methods of the discrete transformations for realization of reliable spectral measurement of non-stationary signals in real time are considered. Features of the offered mathematical methods allow one to realize in real time effective algorithms of digital processing of signals, such as calculation of spectral density of capacity, correlation parameters, digital convolution, etc. which cannot be executed by classical methods of transformations because of time restrictions. Methods of statistical processing of dynamic modules of Fourier factors allow obtaining an authentic spectral rating of non-stationary signals in real time.

Investigation of the Boron Acceptor Impurity in a Synthetic Diamond by the -SR-method

The results in the investigation of boron acceptor centers in a synthetic diamond by the -SR-method are presented. Two IIa and IIb type monocrystal samples were studied. Atoms of -B-acceptor impurity in the sample were created by implantation of negative muons. The polarization of muons was studied in a magnetic field of 2.5 kG transverse to the direction of the muon spin in the temperature range 4.2-300 K.
It was found that -B acceptor in a diamond is formed mostly in diamagnetic (ionized) state. The hole capture rate by an ionized acceptor center in IIa and IIb types of a synthetic diamond was found at temperatures T > 80 K and T > 50 K respectively.

Spherical Model in a Random Field

We investigate the properties of the Gibbs states and thermodynamic observables of the spherical model in a random field. We show that on the low-temperature critical line the magnetization of the model is not a self-averaging observable, but it self-averages conditionally. We also show that an arbitrarily weak homogeneous boundary field dominates over fluctuations of the random field once the model transits into a ferromagnetic phase. As a result, a homogeneous boundary field restores the conventional self-averaging of thermodynamic observables, like the magnetization and the susceptibility. We also investigate the effective field created at the sites of the lattice by the random field, and show that at the critical temperature of the spherical model the effective field undergoes a transition into a ferromagnetic phase with long-range correlations ~ r 4-d.

Virtual Transitions (Oscillations) of K Mesons Caused by Strangeness Violating in the Weak Interactions

At strangeness violation by the weak interactions there should arise mixings (transitions) between and K mesons. Since masses of these hadrons differ, these mixings (transitions) should be virtual. The nondiagonal mass term responsible for such mixing is computed. It is shown that two types of transitions can take place between these mesons: meson is converted into K meson with mass changing, and without mass changing (K meson has mass of ). Probabilities of vacuum K virtual transitions (oscillations) with taking into account of -meson decays are calculated. The estimation of extreme distance R for observation of K transition is made. The kinematics of process of K meson productions, at their transitions on mass shell, is investigated for determination of optimum energies for observation of these transitions.

Electron/Pion Identification in the CBM TRD Using a Multilayer Perceptron

The problem of electron/pion identification in the CBM experiment based on the measurements of energy losses and transition radiation in the TRD detector is discussed. We consider a possibility to solve such a problem by applying an artificial neural network (ANN). As input information for the network we used both the samples of energy losses of pions or electrons in the TRD absorbers and the "clever" variable obtained on the basis of the original data. We show that usage of this new variable permits one to reach a reliable level of particle recognition no longer than after 10-20 training epochs; there are practically no fluctuations against the trend, and the needed level of pions suppression is obtained under the condition of a minimal loss of electrons.

The Physics with Lasers: from Relativistic Particle Production to Material Processing

The physics with lasers is an extremely wide field of fundamental and applied research. The uniqueness of this field at present is that among with recently discovered fundamentally new phenomena, its inherent element is the applied component. In this work, a brief overview of activities in three fields of physics with lasers at LHE JINR in the framework of the international collaboration MARUSYA is given. These fields cover the relativistic collective phenomena of particle and radiation production with ultrashort laser pulses, ion and X-ray interaction with hot dense plasmas, and nonlinear processes at laser material processing.

Magnetic Property Investigation of the Ferrofluid by SR-Spectroscopy on the DLNP JINR Phasotron

The SR-method was applied to the study of the magnetic fluid properties for the first time. The ferrofluid on the Fe3O4 basis was investigated in the temperature range from 114 to 300 K at the zero and transverse magnetic field conditions. The distinct SR-signal was observed in both cases. In zero field measurements the drop in the relaxation rate and polarization at T = 230 K to zero-level followed by fast increasing of the latter in the temperature interval from 240 to 255 K were observed.

Gamma-Decay of the Compound State and Change of Structure of the 124Te Excited Levels

Independent analysis of a large amount of data on the spectrum of gamma-rays of the radiative capture of thermal neutrons in 123Te(S(ig Eg)/Bn = 0.49) obtained in Rez made it possible to obtain new and reliable information on the dependence of sums of radiative strength functions of dipole gamma-transitions on the energy of levels excited by them. These data, as does the level density in 124Te, demonstrate a strong change of structure of the nucleus practically for the whole region of the levels excited by a captured neutron. As in the earlier studied nuclei (using data on the intensities of two-step cascades), it is possible to reproduce the stated parameters of the gamma-decay process to the accuracy of experiment only by the models directly taking into account the coexistence and interaction of the usual and superfluid component of the nuclear matter.

The Fast Neutron Induced (n, p) Reaction Cross Sections. Compound Reaction Mechanism

In the framework of the compound mechanism the general formula for fast neutron induced and particle emission reaction cross section was deduced. The evaporation model, constant nuclear temperature approximation, semi-classical approach to an inverse reaction cross section and Weizsacker's formula for nuclear binding energy were used. For the systematic analysis of known experimental (n, p) cross sections the obtained formula was used in the energy range from 6 to 16 MeV. It was found that discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental (n, p) cross sections increases with growth of the neutron relative excess parameter (N-Z+1)/A. Levkovsky's conclusions were considered and revised for a wide energy range from 6 to 16 MeV.

The Fast Neutron Induced (n, p) Reaction Cross Sections. Pre-equilibrium Reaction Mechanism

In the framework of the pre-equilibrium mechanism using Griffin's exciton model a simple formula was deduced for the fast neutron induced charged particle emission reaction cross sections. Using the obtained formula in a wide energy range, the systematic analysis of the experimental (n, p) cross sections was carried out. It was shown that in the case of 14-16 MeV the theoretical formula satisfactorily describes the experimental data, however, in the energy region from 6 to 10 MeV there is a significant discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental cross sections.

In the wide energy range from 6 to 16 MeV the systematic analysis of the (n, p) reaction cross sections was carried out. It is shown that theoretical total cross sections calculated by statistical and exciton models and PWBA satisfactorily agree with the experimental data.

Transverse Emittance Blow-Up from Beam Injection Errors in Synchrotrons with Nonlinear Feedback Systems

The problem of transverse emittance blow-up from beam injection errors in synchrotrons with nonlinear feedback systems is considered. The relative emittance growth is calculated for linear and nonlinear feedback transfer functions. Effects of an increase of the damping decrement of the beam coherent oscillations and of a decrease of the coherent transverse amplitude spread of different bunches in case of the damper with a positive cubic term in the feedback transfer function are discussed.

Application of Orthogonal Invariants of Operators in Solving Some Physical Problems

On the base of complete set of orthogonal invariants of operators which is built in the recently performed series of articles of one of the authors (I.L.) the system of nonlinear differential equations (NDE) for orthogonal invariants of ideal gas (liquid) hydrodynamic velocity's Jacobi matrix is obtained when the flow is barochronic. It is shown that only two regimes of barochronic flow are possible - a potential and/or a solenoidal one. Exact solutions of the NDE system are obtained; polynomial relations between the Jacobi matrix's invariants are found and it is proved that these relations are integrals of motion. Using the obtained results the 3-dimensional hydrodynamic Euler equations are solved and hydrodynamic velocity's and substance density`s time and space dependence are found. It is shown that the hydrodynamic velocity of potential barochronic flow depends on radius-vector (for arbitrarily chosen origin of coordinates frame) and satisfies the nonrelativistic Hubble law. This result seems interesting taking into consideration that barochronic flow naturally describes long-scale evolution of the Universe. The sufficient and necessary conditions are found for the solution of hydrodynamic Euler equations of solenoidal barochronic stream having form of the primitive wave or of the double wave. It is shown that such a flow is isobaric.

Stabilization of Nuclear Radiation Spectra by Means of Equipment and Software Correction

Two types of the stabilizer spectra of nuclear radiations are described. In the first event the correction of instability is produced by changing parameters of the ADC device by presenting correcting voltages. The amplitude of analog signals changes in the second event with leaving the linear amplifier with the help of termoresistors supplied by heating winding. Contributing the changes is expected to the program of the accumulation of radiation spectra for the reason of realization of executive CAMAC commands. It is shown that by means of mathematical transformations it is possible to correct distortion spectra, caused by instability of the equipment.

Weak K-Hindrance Manifested in Alpha Decay of the 178m2Hf Isomer

An experiment has been performed to detect the alpha-emission mode in 178m2Hf isomer decay and a partial half-life of (2.5 ± 0.5) · 1010 years was measured. It was concluded that decay is strongly retarded by the centrifugal barrier arising due to the high spin of this isomeric state. Additional analysis shows, however, that the K-hindrance in this decay is relatively weak, despite the strong manifestation of spin hindrance.

Structure of Regular Solutions to the Schrödinger and Faddeev Equations in the Limit of the Three-Body Linear Configuration

The six-dimensional Schrödinger and Faddeev equations for a three-body system with two-body central potentials of a more general type than the Coulomb ones are studied. The regular general and particular physical solutions of these equations are represented as infinite series in integer powers of the distance between one particle and the center of mass of two other particles and the sought functions of other three-particle coordinates. In the angular basis, formed by the spherical and bispherical harmonics or the symmetrized Wigner D-functions, the construction of these functions is reduced to solving simple algebraic recurrence equations. For the projections of the physical solutions to the Schrödinger and Faddeev equations onto angular basic functions the boundary conditions in the limit of the linear three-body configuration are derived.

Cherenkov Effect in the Weak Interactions Generated by the Neutrinos and New Approach for Estimation of Neutrino Mass

It is shown that if weak interactions can generate masses and polarize matter, then the Cherenkov effect induced by these interactions at v > c/n appears. The effect of (resonance) enhancement of neutrino oscillations in matter (v < c/n) and the Cherenkov (v > c/n) effect are competitive processes and at definite neutrino energies the effect of (resonance) enhancement of neutrino oscillations in matter will change to the Cherenkov effect. Then neutrino vacuum oscillations will recommence and we obtain an excellent possibility of estimating neutrino masses.

These formulae can be used in the procedure of pion scattering lengths measurement from M00 spectrum.

The Proposal and Physico-Technical Feasibility Studies of an Accelerator of New Type for the Medico-Technical Complex of the LNP, JINR

A proton accelerator of new type (a phasotron with a divided magnet or a recirculation phasotron), in which the magnetic field in bending magnets is constant and the frequency of the accelerating electrical field and the gradient of the magnetic field in focusing lenses vary during the acceleration cycle according to preset programs, is proposed.
The analysis of consistency of trajectories as well as of phase, transverse and resonance stability, which allows making a conclusion about the principal possibility of realizing such an accelerator, is carried out.
Some particularities of the new accelerator such as speed cycles (50-100 Hz) and the possibility to vary the energy and the number of particles in each acceleration cycle are the most suitable clinical requirements on proton beams, particularly while using perspective methods of active formation of dose fields.
A proposal on technical feasibility of realization of a new accelerator within the building of the Medico-Technical Complex of the LNP, JINR, is made.

Шаровые солитоны в кинетике магнитных фазовых переходов первого рода

The theory of magnetic ball solitons (BS), arising as a result of the energy fluctuations at the spin-flop transition induced by a magnetic field in antiferromagnets with uniaxial anisotropy, is presented. Such solitons are possible in a wide range of amplitudes and energies, including the negative energy relative to an initial condition. When such an antiferromagnet is in a metastable condition, ball solitons are born with the greatest probability if the energy of solitons is close to zero. Evolution of these solitons, at which they develop into macroscopic domains of a new magnetic phase, is analyzed, thus carrying out full phase reorganization.

Study of Nanocrystalline Substances with Sorbed Hydrogen by Neutron Scattering

Earlier P. Hall et al. have shown that FeTi nanocrystalline alloys are more preferable for hydrogen storage in comparison with those prepared by usual technology. The diffraction and vibration spectra from nanocrystalline samples with sorbed hydrogen of (FeTiMg)Hx, (MgTi)Hx, (MgTiPd)Hx, (FeTiMn)Hx, [(FeTiMn)Mg]Hx are obtained by means of neutron scattering. The crystal structure peculiarities of the samples are observed. The phonon and local vibrational modes of sorbed hydrogen are selected and their energies are determined. It is shown that the energies of hydrogen modes in multicomponent nanocrystalline structures with sorbed hydrogen are not described simply by energies of hydrogen modes observed in different single-component metal hydrides.

Wavelet Analysis of Angular Spectra of Relativistic Particles in 208Pb Induced Collisions with Emulsion Nuclei at 158A GeV/c

The continuous wavelet transform is applied to the pseudorapidity spectra of relativistic secondary particles created in Pb+Em nuclear collisions at 158A GeV/c. The wavelet pseudorapidity spectra are subsequently surveyed at different scales to look for signs of ring-like correlations whose presence could be explained either via the production of Cherenkov gluons or the propagation of Mach shock waves in excited nuclear medium. The presented approach is established on the basic prerequisite that the both effects would lead to excess of particles at certain typical pseudorapidities. Furthermore, the particles contributing to the ring-like structures are expected to have uniform azimuthal distributions. The multiscale analysis of the wavelet pseudorapidity spectra reveals the irregularities which are interpreted as the favoured pseudorapidities of groups of produced particles. A uniformity of the azimuthal structure of the disclosed pseudorapidity irregularities is examined, eventually leading to the conclusion that the irregularities are not related to correlations of a ring-like nature.

"Baldin Autumn" and Gauge Fields

The paper is the reminiscences of the participant of the gauge field theory beginning and the first "Baldin Autumn" conference in 1969. This conference was named "Vector Mesons and Electromagnetic Interactions". At that time, just the processes with vector mesons participation contained some experimental indications of new universal interactions existence. Vector dominance was the experimental evidence of physical reasons of the gauge field theory. In the course of time the gauge field theory form, which was under discussion thirty seven years ago, became generally recognized and experimentally corroborated. It led to construction of the well-known Standard Model of elementary particle interactions.

Relativistic Physics and Geometry

The problem of physics geometrization is considered as a part of the problems which is the sixth Hilbert's problem talks about. This Hilbert's problem concerns mathematical formulation of physics axioms. It is shown that for the whole XX century this problem formed scientific research strategies in theoretical physics and some mathematical topics, especially in geometry. Appearance of special and general relativities as well as the geometrical gauge field theory can be regarded as consequent stages in the sixth Hilbert's problem solution. The present-day problem consists in application of the geometrical gauge field theory for relativistic nuclear physics.

Development of the Balance Equations Model for Calculation of Ion Charge-State Distribution in ECR Ion Sources

The investigation of the widespread model for the calculation of ion charge-state distributions (CSD) in electron cyclotron-resonance ion source based on the set of balance equations is given. The modification of this model that allows one to describe the confinement and accumulation processes of highly charged ions in ECR plasma for gas mixing case more precisely is discussed. The new approach for the time confinement calculation (ions and electrons) based on the theory of Pastukhov is offered, viz. calculation of confinement times during two step minimization of special type functionals. The results obtained by this approach have been compared with available experimental data.

Top Mass Measurement on 1 fb-1 Using the Three Best Combinations Method

The BLUE method is applicable to improve the precision in the Top Mass Measurement, whenever the mass can be derived in a number of different ways for each candidate event. This method is applied to a 1 fb-1 data sample in the semileptonic channel requiring no b-tag information used in the Template Method. This method makes use of the mass value returned by the most likely jet-to-parton association (out of 24). In this note the mass information returned by the three best combinations is exploited. Simulations show that in a significant number of cases the associations giving the second and the third best c2 are actually the correct ones. It was found in MC that the statistical error is improved by about 10%. Combining the three best mass reconstructions by using a statistical technique called BLUE gives Mtop 168,9 2,2 (stat.) 4.2 (syst.) GeV/c2.

Stochastic Model of Fission Fragment Angular Distribution for Excited Compound Nuclei

A dynamical approach to treatment of the fission fragment angular distribution is developed. The approach is based on three-dimensional Langevin dynamics for shape collective coordinates joined with Monte-Carlo algorithm for the degree of freedom associated with projection K of the total angular momentum of fissioning system on the symmetry axis. The relaxation time of the tilting mode K is estimated. From the fits to the experimental data on the fission fragment angular distribution of heavy fissioning compound systems the K equilibration time is deduced to be (2-4) · 10-21 s for the temperatures ~ 1-2 MeV. A modified one-body mechanism of nuclear dissipation with reduction coefficient of the contribution from the "wall" formula ks = 0.5 has been used in the calculations.

Structure of Regular Solutions to the Schroedinger and Faddeev Equations in the Vicinity of the Triple Collision Point

Three-body systems with two-body central interactions are considered in the vicinity of the triple collision point. The regular Faddeev bispherical components obeying the systems of two-dimensional integrodifferential equations are studied. It is shown that all fundamental regular solutions to these equations are the double series in integer powers of the hyperradius, its logarithm and the sought functions of one hyperangle. The construction of these functions is reduced to solving of a recurrence chain of ordinary differential equations. The Faddeev bispherical components are presented as infinite sums of all regular solutions. The found expansions of these components are used for reproduction of expansions of projections of the regular solutions to the six-dimensional Schroedinger and Faddeev equations onto the angular basis formed by bispherical harmonics, hyperharmonics or the symmetrized Wigner D-functions. For all these projections the boundary conditions at the triple collision point are derived.

Rigorous Derivation of the Mean-Field Green Functions of the Two-Band Hubbard Model of Superconductivity

The Green function (GF) equation of motion technique for solving the effective two-band Hubbard model of high-Tc superconductivity in cuprates rests on the Hubbard operator (HO) algebra. We show that, if we take into account the invariance to translations and spin reversal, the HO algebra results in invariance properties of several specific correlation functions. The use of these properties allows rigorous derivation and simplification of the expressions of the frequency matrix (FM) and of the generalized mean-field approximation (GMFA) Green functions (GFs) of the model. For the normal singlet hopping and anomalous exchange pairing correlation functions which enter the FM and GMFA-GFs, the use of spectral representations allows the identification and elimination of exponentially small quantities. This procedure secures the reduction of the correlation order to the GMFA-GF expressions.

A survey of 40-year period of developing proton therapy first at synchrocyclotron and then, after reconstruction of the accelerator, at the JINP LNP phasotron is given. It is marked that the first medical proton beam in the Soviet Union (now CIS) and also intense negative -meson and high energy neutron beams were produced even before reconstruction of JINR LNP synchrocyclotron. By using such beams the radiobiological experiments were carried out and clinical results of the initial research of treating cancer patients were obtained on proton beams.
A many-room Medico-Technical Complex of radiation therapy with JINR phasotron beams, produced during reconstruction of the JINR LNP synchrocyclotron, is described in detail.
The first clinical results of treating cancer patients with proton beams at this complex are given.
It is emphasized that construction in Dubna, as part of medical department number 9, of a 20-bed specialized radiological hospital and also development and use of the first in Russia three-dimensional conformal proton therapy procedure made it possible to increase essentially a number of patients treated with proton beams at Medico-Technical Complex, JINR LNP.
The prospects of the further development of JINR LNP Medico-Technical Complex and, in particular, the replacement of the JINR LNP phasotron by a specialized medical accelerator, in full dedicated to proton therapy cancer patients, are considered briefly.

Forming of the Depth-Dose Distribution of the Radiotherapy Proton Beam of the JINR Phasotron

Radiation therapy with proton beams has a number of important advantages over conventional radiation therapy with photons and electrons based on the energy deposition processes which give a well defined range in а tissue, a Bragg peak of ionization in the depth-dose distribution and slow lateral scattering. The radiotherapy proton beam at the JINR Phasotron is formed by means of slowing down of the initial 660 MeV beam in the carbon degrader. For clearance of the slowed down proton beam from contaminations of secondary particles and improvement of the Bragg peak shape the magnetic analysis of the beam and compensate wedge is used. The set of ridge filters transform the Bragg peak to the depth-dose distribution with a flat top from 2 to 5 cm for large target irradiation. Influence of the collimators material and aperture on the shape of the proton beam depth-dose distributions was studied. For the small sizes of collimator aperture the shape of the depth-dose distribution is distorted especially in collimators made of materials with large atomic number.

Simulations of Proton Beam Depth-Dose Distributions

Proton beams are successfully used in radiotherapy. A correct modification of beam parameters enables to spare normal surrounding tissues from radiation action. Our work is focused on passive beam-shaping techniques, which are used to modify the proton beam properties. The beam passes through the scattering system, which consists of scattering materials, energy degraders, drift spaces and collimators. In order to model the proton beam transport through the scattering system, the new Monte Carlo (MC) computer code Track has been developed. The code Track can predict output proton beam parameters modulated by various system adjustments and helps to optimize them. It calculates a beam profile, creates beam emittance diagram at a specified position of the system and predicts proton beam depth-dose distribution in a water phantom. In addition it calculates beam losses on individual components.
We present a physical model of the beam transport calculations and algorithm implemented in a~code Track. We compared the Track code calculations of depth-dose distributions in water phantom with experimental data and with a set of MC calculations in the FLUKA code. The accuracy of simulation results and calculation time in Track code are observed.

Method of Experimental Estimation of the Effective Delay Neutron Fraction and of the Neutron Generation Lifetime in the IBR-2 Reactor

Experimental investigations of stochastic noises of the power of the IBR-2 periodic pulsed reactor carried out in the steady-state and in the pulsed modes of its operation made it possible to obtain estimations of the main parameters of the kinetics - the effective fraction of delayed neutrons and the average lifetime of prompt neutrons. Functionals were measured relating the main parameters of the kinetics: the prompt neutron decay constant (steady-state mode) and the relative dispersion of pulse energy fluctuations. It was shown that the experimental values of parameters of the kinetics are close to the calculated ones. In addition, the power of the spontaneous neutron source was estimated on the basis of the analysis of neutron noises.

Changes of Surface Layer of Nitrogen-Implanted AISI316L Stainless Steel

The effects of nitrogen ion implantation into AISI316L stainless steel on friction, wear, and microhardness have been investigated at energy level of 125 keV at fluence of 1 · 1017 -1 · 1018 N/cm2. The composition of the surface layer was investigated by RBS, XRD (GXRD), SEM and EDX. The friction coefficient and abrasive wear rate of the stainless steel were measured in atmospheres of air, oxygen, argon, and in vacuum. As follows from the investigations, there is an increase in resistance to frictional wear in the studied samples after implantation; however, these changes are of different characters in various atmospheres. The largest decrease in wear was observed during tests in the air, and the largest reduction in the value of the friction coefficient for all implanted samples was obtained during tests in the argon atmosphere. Tribological tests revealed larger contents of nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen in the products of surface layer wear than in the surface layer itself of the sample directly after implantation.

Direct Calculation of the Probability of Pionium Ionization in the Target

The goal of the DIRAC experiment at CERN is the lifetime measurement of pionium (p+p--atom). Its lifetime is mainly defined by the charge-exchange process p+p- p0p0. Value of the lifetime in the ground state is predicted in the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) with high precision: t1S=(2,9 ± 0,1) · 10-15 s. The method used by DIRAC is based on the analysis of p+p--pairs spectra with small relative momenta in their center-of-mass system in order to find out signal from pionium ionization (break-up) in the target. Pioniums are produced in proton-nuclei collisions and have relativistic velocities (g > 10). For fixed values of the pionium momentum and the target thickness the probability of pionium ionization in the target depends on its lifetime in a unique way, thus the pionium lifetime can be deduced from the experimentally defined probability of pionium ionization. Based on ionization cross sections of pionium with target atoms we performed the first direct calculation of the pionium ionization probability in the target.

The Use of Nonlinear Thermal Spike Model for Calculations of Temperature Effects at Two Layer Structures under Their Irradiation with High Energy Heavy Ions

Temperatures at two layer structures, presenting massive substrate and surface cover by relatively thin layer from another material, under irradiation with swift heavy ions with high ionizing energy loss in frame of thermal spike model in three dimensional case were calculated. The temperature changes near the separate boundary of such a two layer structure on the example of Ni-W of the convective warm exchanging coefficient t are studied in detail. Parameter t characterizes the changes of temperature gradient near the separate boundary, i.e. determines the type of heat contact. It was established that calculated temperatures of electronic and lattice subsystems for nonlinear model (characterized by thermal physical coefficients depending on the temperature) are much less than ones in the linear model (characterized by thermal physical coefficients without dependence on the temperature). The peculiarity of the nonlinear model is that the characteristic time of the thermal processes in such a crystalline lattice are much slower than in the linear model. It was shown that transition from nonideal case of heat contact to ideal case of heat contact takes place at increasing of coefficient t.

Temperature Effect Studies in Frame of Thermal Spike Model at Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite under Irradiation with 86Kr and 209Bi High-Energy Heavy Ions

The studies of temperature effects in anisotropic material - highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) under irradiation with 86Kr (253 MeV) and 209Bi (710 MeV) heavy ions in frame of three dimensional thermal spike model were carried out. The temperature effects versus the changes of electron-phonon interaction coefficients g are considered this model. It was shown that the surface temperature of HOPG target under irradiation with 209Bi ions can be higher than melting temperature or evaporation temperature of HOPG if the values of electron-phonon interaction coefficient g satisfy the inequality g 1,5gk, where gk = 3.12 · 1012 W/(cm3·К). Surface temperature of HOPG under irradiation with 86Kr ions is less than melting temperature if the values of electron-phonon interaction coefficient g satisfy the inequality g 4,5gk. It is possible to conclude, using made calculations and experimental data from surface structure studies of single crystal HOPG after irradiation with 209Bi (710 MeV) and 86Kr (253 MeV), that developed in this work thermal spike model allows one to explain the creation of crater like structures after 209Bi ion irradiation and absence such structures in the case of 86Kr ion irradiation. Such experimental data can take place if electron-phonon interaction coefficients g satisfy the inequality 1,5gk g 4,5gk. The estimations of maximum sizes of volume in HOPG under irradiation with bismuth ions where temperature can be higher than melting temperature are made.

Research of Beam Intensity Losses at the Nuclotron (2002-2005)

Beam losses in the Nuclotron were investigated at the beginning of the acceleration cycle. Today intensity, ~ 1010 ppp, is an order less than projected magnitude. Variations of main accelerator parameters permitted us to define a role each of them plays in existing losses. Each of the operation conditions changed inside small limits, and if the intensity did not reduce in this case, the parameter was considered to have no effect on losses.
Experiments performed with deuteron beam in 2002-2005 showed that essential contribution to losses can be from particle scattering by residual gas. According to the measurements the mean pressure in the beam chamber is ~ 10-5 Pa. So far it was believed that the pressure in the chamber is below 10-7 Pa and this parameter could not influence particle losses.

Investigation of In-Plane Biaxial Low Cycle Fatigued Austenitic Stainless Steel AISI 321. I. Mechanical Testing on the Planar Biaxial Load Machine

During fatigue loading of structural materials such as stainless steel, changes in the microstructure which affect the mechanical and physical properties occur. Experimental simulation of the loading conditions that induce the changes can be performed by mechanical loading, usually in the form of uniaxial tension-compression cycling. However, real machines and structures are subjected to more complex multiaxial stresses. Fatigue and fracture under multiaxial stresses are one of the most important current topics aimed at ensuring improved reliability of industrial components. The first step towards better understanding of this problem is to subject the materials to biaxial loading. The material examined was low austenitic stainless steel AISI 321 H. A set of the four samples of cruciform geometry was subjected to the biaxial tension-compression fatigue cycling with the frequency of 0.5 Hz at the applied load of 10-17 kN. The samples are intended for the neutron diffraction measurements of the residual stresses and the mechanical characterizations on a dedicated stress-diffractometer.

The influence of a-particles with energies of 1.77 MeV (yield 93%) and 1.46 MeV (yield 7%) and 7Li recoils with energies 1.01 MeV (yield 93%) and 0.84 MeV (yield 7%) produced at thermal neutrons capture reactions and light 10B isotopes on radiation defects creation is calculated.

It was shown that damage creation by elastic scattering mechanism on semiconductor atoms of fission fragments as 4a2+-particles and nuclear recoil 7Li produced by thermal neutrons in nuclear reactions with light isotope of 10B is more than two orders higher than damage creation by fast neutrons (En > 0.1 MeV). Calculation shows that such irradiations allow creating developed vacancies structure at single crystal semiconductors (SCS) with homogeneous vacancy distribution. This effect can be used for technological applications, for example for more effective diffusion of technological chemical impurities using vacancies mechanism after covering of SCS surface or its implantation to the layer near surface at the processes of annealing.

Program VMRIA for Analysis of Powder Magnetic Neutron Diffraction Data

At the IBR-2 pulsed reactor at FLNP, JINR, investigations of the atomic and magnetic structure of crystals are carried out. For the analysis of the obtained diffraction spectra with the help of the Rietveld method, the program package MRIA (Multiphase Rietveld Analysis) has been used for a long time. At the present time a new version of this package, VMRIA, is in operation. This version is developed using the visual object-oriented programming language DELPHI. Apart from being a very convenient interface for the interaction with the user, the program contains the algorithm for the analysis of collinear magnetic structures. In the paper, the general information about analysis of diffraction spectra by the Rietveld method is given, and specific features of the magnetic structure analysis by the program VMRIA are discussed.

The Calculation of Magnetic Field in the Vicinity of "Window Frame" Dipole Winding for Particle Accelerators

The necessity of such calculations in design of superconducting dipole magnets (DM) is explained by the following circumstances. First, there is strong enough decreasing dependence of critical current of superconducting cable on magnetic field value Ic (B). It requires knowledge of maximum magnetic field that is "seen" by winding turns to estimate its operation current. Second, we need to know the relation of Bmax values in inner and outer layers of DM winding to select the optimal number of winding layers (1 or 2) and optimal DM operation current. As long as DM length is usually many times more than its transverse size, all calculations of B(x,y) have been performed only in transverse plane, containing the DM center. The value of B(0,0) = 2 T was selected for this point (this is typical operation value close to maximum one for this type of DM). This work contains the results of B(x,y) calculations for single- and two-layer winding with 8 or 16 turns made of hollow composite cable.

Measurement of Delayed Neutron Yields from Thermal Neutron Induced Fission of 245Cm

The paper reports on the measurement of the absolute overall delayed neutron yield from thermal neutron induced fission of 245Cm nucleus. The experimental researches of the characteristics of delayed neutrons of fission of series of reactor isotopes started in 1997, were continued on the modernized "Isomer-M" installation by a method based on periodic irradiation of sample in pulsed neutron beam IBR-2 reactor with the subsequent registration of neutrons emitted after fission in intervals between pulses. The value of the absolute overall delayed neutron yield from thermal neutron induced fission of 245Cm obtained in the present experiment d = (0.64 0.02) % has twice best accuracy in comparison with value measured earlier.

Interactions of Checkpoint-Genes RAD9, RAD17, RAD24 and RAD53 Determining Radioresistance of Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

The mechanisms of genetic control of progress through the division cell cycle (checkpoint-control) in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been studied intensively. To investigate the role of checkpoint-genes RAD9, RAD17, RAD24, RAD53 in cell radioresistance we have investigated cell sensitivity of double mutants to -ray. Double mutants involving various combinations with rad9D show epistatic interactions, i.e. the sensitivity of the double mutants to -ray was no greater that of more sensitive of the two single mutants. This suggests that all these genes govern the same pathway. This group of genes was named RAD9-epistasis group. It is interesting to note that genes RAD9 and RAD53 have positive effect but RAD17 and RAD24 have negative effect on radiosensitivity of yeast cells. Interactions between mutations may differ depending on the agent -ray or UV-light, for example mutations rad9D and rad24D show additive effect for -ray and epistatic effect for UV-light.

Interactions of Checkpoint-Genes RAD9, RAD17, RAD24, RAD53 with Genes SRM5/CDC28, SRM8/NET1 and SRM12/HFI1 in Determining Radioresistance of Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

In yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae checkpoint-genes RAD9, RAD17, RAD24, RAD53 and genes SRM5/CDC28, SRM8/NET1, SRM12/HFI1 have been found to belong to one epistasis group with the exception of SRM12/HFI1 as regards cell sensitivity to gamma radiation. This group was named RAD9-group. Analysis of radiosensitivity of double mutants has revealed that mutation cdc28-srm is hypostatic to each of rad9D, rad17D and rad24D. Mutation net1-srm is hypostatic to rad9D and rad53, but additive to rad17D and rad24D. Mutation hfi1-srm has additive effect in compound with mutations rad24D and rad9D. So investigations of interactions mutations rad with mutations srm have demonstrated a branched of RAD9-dependent pathway of radioresistance. The studied genes can participate in a minor mechanism involved in determining the cell radiation sensitivity independently of mentioned RAD9-dependent pathway.

Methods of Modeling of Operation Modes of Multi-Purpose Isochronous Cyclotron

The methods of modeling of operation modes of multi-purpose isochronous cyclotron are described. The traditional method is based on a simultaneous finding of currents in all trim coils. The new method is iterative and is based on a consecutive finding of currents in each of the considered trim coils. All accounts are carried out at a certain level of current in the main coil. At account of values of currents in trim coils an incorrect task is solved (non-uniform system of the linear algebraic equations (SLAE) is ill-conditioned, as its determinant has a value equal to machine zero). The solution of the incorrect task is unstable in relation to a mistake of measurement of magnetic field maps used at account. The iterative method, as against the traditional one, enables an indirect estimation of quality of the initial data (measured magnetic field maps) used at account through an estimation of convergence of the solution. The work on the regularization of the solution of the submitted incorrect task is being conducted at present.

The Beam Dynamics in the DC-60 Isochronous Cyclotron

At the present work the dynamic characteristics of the magnetic field of cyclotron DC-60 are considered on the basis of the trajectory analysis. The purpose of the analysis was the optimization of the acceleration conditions in the central area of the cyclotron, in the main area of acceleration and in the area of the beam extraction from the cyclotron. The analysis was carried out for three characteristic modes of the acceleration: on the upper (1.65 Т), average (1.43 Т) and lower (1.25 Т) magnetic field levels. The calculations and later, the experiments have shown that the formed magnetic field of the DC-60 cyclotron provides the focusing and the good efficiency of the ion beams acceleration.

he Change of Reactivity Effect in the IBR-2 Pulsed Reactor Related to Burn-up in the Period 1982-2006

From the analysis of operation data of the IBR-2 pulsed reactor in the period 1982-2006 the dependence of extra reactivity as a function of energy production of the reactor has been obtained. It shows that at the beginning of the reactor operation in addition to the pure burn-up effect, there is also a positive effect probably related to the densification of fuel and structural changes of materials in the core. The effect decreases with time and tends to zero. Only the effect of pure burn-up remains after the 40000 MW·h burn-up, and from this point the extra reactivity is linearly decreased with the coefficient kB = - 4,2975·10-5%/MW·h. The formula to calculate the energy production coefficient of reactivity at any time of the reactor operation has also been obtained. The energy production coefficient of reactivity consists of two components: the coefficient of pure burn-up and additional positive coefficient of reactivity.

Solution of Boundary-Value Problems for Singular Perturbed Differential Equations of High Order

Two boundary-value problems of the singular perturbed equation of the 4th order with small parameter e at higher derivative are investigated for the Coulomb and oscillator potentials. It is shown that at diminution of a small parameter value e eigenvalues of both boundary-value problems converge to eigenvalues of the Schrödinger equation. However derivatives from eigenfunctions of the first boundary-value problem, as opposed to the second boundary-value problem in a vicinity of a boundary r=0 (r - argument of eigenfunction) have boundary layers and do not converge to derivatives of eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger equation. At increasing of parameter e from small up to final quantities the eigenfunctions of both boundary problems are expanding to the side of increasing of r. Thus, eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the first boundary-value problem are changing grossly in comparison with their values for the second boundary-value problem. The equidistance property of eigenvalues of the Schrödinger equation with the oscillator potential does not hold true for the equation of the 4th order.

The Dynamical Model of Power Feedback in the IBR-2 Pulsed Reactor Taking into Account Slow Components

The dynamical model of full-range feedback has been proposed and the method to determine the dynamical parameters of slow components in power feedback for individual operation cycles of the IBR-2 pulsed reactor has been studied. Using the quasistationary equation of reactivity balance, the total effect of power feedback which is the sum of fast and slow components of reactivity change has been calculated. The shape of curves of this effect shows that the dynamical model of power feedback in the IBR-2 pulsed reactor consists of three components: a proportional block and two inertial blocks of slow action (faster block with positive transfer coefficient and time constant of several hours, and slower block with negative transfer coefficient and time constant of several tens of hours). The parameters of slow dynamical process have also been determined. Curves of reactivity change obtained from the model are in good agreement with the ones from the experiments.

Model Study of an Automatic Controller of the IBR-2 Pulsed Reactor

For calculation of power transients in the IBR-2 reactor a special mathematical model of dynamics taking into account the discontinuous jump of reactivity by an automatic controller with the step motor is created. In the model the nonlinear dependence of the energy of power pulse on the reactivity and the influence of warming up of the reactor on the reactivity by means of introduction of a nonlinear feedback "power-pulse energy - reactivity" are taken into account. With the help of the model the transients of relative deviation of power-pulse energy are calculated at various (random, mixed and regular) reactivity disturbances at the reactor mean power 1.475 MW. It is shown that to improve the quality of processes the choice of such regular values of parameters of the automatic controller is expedient, at which the least effect of smoothing of a signal acting on an automatic controller and the least speed of an automatic controller are provided, and the reduction of efficiency of one step of the automatic controller and introduction of a five-percent dead space are also expedient.

Statistically Optimal Filter for an Estimation of the Mean Power of the IBR-2 Pulsed Reactor

The IBR-2 reactor is characterized by a wide spread of amplitudes of power pulses relative to the mean value. For safe work of the IBR-2 reactor the operation of its emergency protection is provided at double excess or decrease of amplitude of a power pulse relative to the mean value, and at spillover of the mean value of amplitude beyond the set limits, which requires an estimation of current value of the mean power. As a result of application of the method of statistically optimal regulation of a pulsed reactor [1], statistically optimal algorithm, according to which current value of the mean power is formed at an output of the filter, is obtained. It is shown that the optimal algorithm is realized by the filter in the form of an inertial element and that the most acceptable results are reached, when the time constant of the filter is more than the period of pulses by a factor of 3-7.

Nuclide Creation and Annealing Reactor Waste in Neutron Fields

We consider chemical elements in the Universe (their properties and transmutations) as a fuel powering an evolution of stars, galaxies, etc. The nuclear fusion reactions represent an energy source of stars and, in particular, the Sun fitting the life on the Earth. This brings a question on an origin and conditions for creation of life. We discuss some specific features of nuclear reaction chains at the hydrostatic burning of nuclides in stars and treaties for development of thermonuclear fusion reactors at the Earth based environment. The nova and supernova give promising astrophysical site candidates for synthesis of heavy atomic nuclei and renewing other nuclear components. Such an explosive nucleosynthesis yields the actinides containing basic fuel for nuclear fission reactors, among others.

We analyze the measurements of the energy deposits in one-layer TRD prototype obtained during the test beam (GSI, Darmstadt, February 2006) and Monte Carlo simulations for the n-layered TRD realized with the help of GEANT in frames of the CBM ROOT. We show that: 1) energy losses both for real measurements and GEANT simulations are approximated with a high accuracy by a log-normal distribution for p and a weighted sum of two log-normal distributions for e; 2) GEANT simulations noticeably differ from real measurements and, as a result, we have a significant loss in the efficiency of the e/p identification. A procedure to control and correct the process of the energy deposit of electrons in the TRD is developed.

New Approach to Description of Majorana Properties of Neutral Particles

Two mathematical models based on Pauli transformations including U(1) chiral group and Pauli SU(2) group, that mixes particle and antiparticle states, are developed for description of Majorana properties of neutral particles. The first one describes a system, incorporating left- and right-handed fermions of the same flavor, and it is a generalization of the Majorana model of his pioneer article published in 1937. The second describes a two-flavor neutrino system with quantum numbers of Zel'dovich-Konopinsky-Mahmoud (ZKM) type. For massless fermions the Pauli symmetry is exact and leads to the conserved generalized lepton charge. It is a Pauli isospace vector, whose different directions are coordinated with Dirac or generalized Majorana properties. In nonzero-mass case the models describe the combined Dirac-Majorana properties of neutral particles, which are characterized either by the generalized lepton charges of ZKM-type or by the eigenvalues of the operator that is the product of the charge operator and chirality. The latter is connected with operator of the structure of Lagrangian mass term or with the generalized flavor number of the second model. The choice of the basic operator depends on the inversion classes (A-B or C-D-types) of the particles with respect to the space inversion. The modified second model can be used for description of neutrino oscillation in the simplest two-flavor case.

Majorana Neutrino. Is Double Neutrinoless Beta Decay Possible in the Framework of the Weak Interactions? How to Prove that Neutrino is a Majorana Particle

Usually it is supposed that Majorana neutrino is produced in the superposition state cL = nL + (nL)c and then follows the neutrinoless double beta decay. But since weak interactions are chiral-invariant, the neutrino at production has definite helicity (i.e., nL and (nL)c neutrinos are separately produced and then neutrino is not in the superposition state). This helicity cannot change after production without any external interactions. Thus, we see that for unsuitable helicity the neutrinoless double b decay is not possible even if neutrino is a Majorana particle. Also transition of Majorana neutrino into antineutrino at their oscillations is forbidden since helicity in vacuum holds. Then the only possibility to prove that neutrino is a Dirac but not Majorana particle is detection of transition of nL neutrino into (sterile) antineutrino R (i.e., nL R) at neutrino oscillations. Transition of Majorana neutrino nL into (nR)c (i.e., nL (nR)c) at oscillations is unobserved since it is supposed that the mass of (nR)c is very big.

It was demonstrated that velocity of the expansion does not depend on kind (from np and e+e- to PbPb) and energy (3.4-200 GeV) of interacting particles. It was shown that measurement of the production volume size is suitable for limited, practically stationary in their rest frame, elements of the whole production region. Any change of kinematic limits of the analyzed sub-ensembles changes size and form of the elements.

Surface Modifications by Swift Heavy-Ion Irradiation of Indium Phosphide

InP (001) samples were irradiated with 200 MeV Au ions at different fluences. The surface nanotopographical changes due to increasing fluence of swift heavy ions were observed by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), where the onset of large increase in surface roughness for fluences sufficient to cause complete surface amorphization was observed. Transmission Electron Microscopy was used to observe formed bulk-ion tracks in InP and high resolution TEM (HRTEM) revealed that single-ion tracks might not be amorphous in nature. Surface-ion tracks were observed by AFM in the form of ill-defined pits (hollows) of ~ 12nm in diameter (width). In addition, Rutherford backscattering was utilized to follow the formation of disorder to amorphization in the irradiated material. The interpretation of large increase in surface roughness with the onset of amorphization can be attributed to the plastic phenomena induced by the change of states from crystalline to amorphous by ion irradiation.

Certain Gravitation Problems and Research Opportunities in Geophysics Monitoring

The growing interest to theoretical and experimental studies of the gravitation properties and the existing "experiment claim" gave rise to discussions of the mass variation as a consequence of the change in the matter "state" on the micro level. This phenomenon opens up an opportunity to obtain radically new experimental information that concerns the fundamental general physics notion - the mass, whose quantitative theory has not been established so far. Peculiarities of the mass monitoring in controlled conditions are considered. First results are given of the practically continuous monitoring that showed variation of the matter mass in the absence of a possibility to change its quantity.

Modern Trends in Position-Sensitive Neutron Detectors Development for Condensed Matter Research

Detecting neutrons is a more complicated task compared to the detection of ionizing particles or ionizing radiation. This is why the variety of neutron detectors is much more limited. Meanwhile, different types of neutron experiments pose specific and often contradictory requirements for detector characteristics. For experiments on the high-intensity neutron sources, the high counting rate is one of the key issues. This is very important, for example, for small-angle neutron scattering and neutron reflectometry. For other experiments, characteristics like detection efficiency, high position resolution, high time resolution, neutron/gamma discrimination, large-area imaging, or compactness, are very important. Today, the cost of the detector also became one of the most important factors. There is no single type of detector which satisfies all the above criteria. Therefore, compromise is inevitable and some of the characteristics are trade off in favor of others.
Present report gives an overview of detector systems presently operating at the leading neutron scattering facilities as well as some development work around the globe.

Relevance of New Measurements of Light Nuclei Breakup at a Zero Angle

The importance of investigation of light-nuclei breakup reactions in a wide region of internal momenta at Serpukhov energies is discussed. The experimental test for the choice of adequate variable for the description of the breakup reactions is suggested. It is shown that the precise measurement of T20 of the deuteron breakup reaction at small internal momenta is important for the polarimetry. The experimental difficulties of measurements in this region are discussed.

Digital Signal Processing Algorithms for Nuclear Particle Spectroscopy

Digital signal processing algorithms for nuclear particle spectroscopy are described along with a digital pile-up elimination method applicable to equidistantly sampled detector signals pre-processed by a charge-sensitive preamplifier. The signal processing algorithms are provided as recursive one- or multi-step procedures which can be easily programmed using modern computer programming languages. The influence of the number of bits of the sampling analogue-to-digital converter on the final signal-to-noise ratio of the spectrometer is considered. Algorithms for a digital shaping-filter amplifier, for a digital pile-up elimination scheme and for ballistic deficit correction were investigated using a high purity germanium detector. The pile-up elimination method was originally developed for fission fragment spectroscopy using a Frisch-grid back-to-back double ionization chamber and was mainly intended for pile-up elimination in case of high alpha-radioactivity of the fissile target. The developed pile-up elimination method affects only the electronic noise generated by the preamplifier. Therefore, the influence of the pile-up elimination scheme on the final resolution of the spectrometer is investigated in terms of the distance between piled-up pulses. The efficiency of the developed algorithms is compared with other signal processing schemes published in literature.

Blow-up/Scattering Alternative for a Discrete Family of Static Critical Solutions with Various Number of Unstable Eigenmodes

Decay of regular static spherically symmetric solutions in the SU(2) Yang-Mills-dilaton (YMd) system of equations under the independent excitation of their unstable eigenmodes has been studied self-consistently in the nonlinear regime. We have obtained strong numerical evidences that all static YMd solutions are distinct local threshold configurations, separating blow-up and scattering solutions, and the main unstable eigenmodes are only those responsible for the blow-up/scattering alternative. On the other hand, excitation of higher unstable eigenmodes always leads to finite-time blow-up. The decay of the lowest N = 1 static YMd solution is an exceptional case because the resulting waves reveal features peculiar to solitons. Applications of the obtained results to Type-I gravitational collapse of massless fields are briefly discussed.

Features of Acceptor Center Formation by Negative Muon and Behavior of the Muon Polarization in Diamond

An explanation is given to dramatic distinctions between the acceptor center (AC) formation by negative muon in diamond and in silicon. It is shown that in diamond the impurity center mB- formation by muon occurs not so fast as in silicon and takes more than 10-9 s, because in contrast to silicon the probability of electron capture from valence band due to Auger effect is negligible. The damping of the muon spin polarization in diamond at temperatures higher than 40 K is explained by hole capture on ionized acceptor center mB-. The calculated charge-carriers density near the ionized AC dramatically and non-monotonically depends on the impurity concentration for time less than 10-13 s. This dependence notably affects the dynamics of the AC state and behavior of the muon spin polarization at times ~ 10-7 s.

The Regularities of the Induction and Reparation of DNA Double Strand Breaks in Human Lymphocytes after Irradiation with Accelerated Heavy Ions of Different Energy

The regularities of the induction of DNA double strand breaks (DSB) in human lymphocytes after irradiation with different doses of accelerated lithium and carbon ions (33 and 480 MeV/nucleon, LET = 20 and 10.2 keV/mm, respectively) and g-rays 60Со by using of comet assay were investigated. It was shown that dependence of DSB formation increases linearly with growing of the dose of lithium and carbon ions and g-rays. The biological effectiveness of carbon ions with high energy was similar to g-rays, lithium ions possess greater biological effectiveness in comparison with g-rays and value of RBE of lithium ions amount to 1.6 ± 0.1. The kinetics of DSB reparation in human lymphocytes after irradiation with lithium and carbon ions and g-rays was studied. It is revealed that the reparation proceeds effectively with heavy-ion and g-ray irradiation by exponential kinetics.

Neutrino Helicity Measurement with Compton Polarimeter (Project of the Experiment)

The project devoted to neutrino helicity measurement by means of Compton polarimeter is considered. The main advantage over previous experiments of that kind is simultaneous measurement of polarimeter efficiency. Earlier the efficiency could be only calculated giving rise to additional systematic uncertainty in the final result. Experimental setup, performed tests are described, the necessary statistics and source activity are estimated.
