Employing the AMPT transport model, we investigate the response of the rapidity-even dipolar flow ( ) and its associated Global Momentum Conservation (GMC) parameter K to structural disparities within 96Ru and 96Zr nuclei. We analyze Ru + Ru and Zr + Zr collisions at a center-of-mass energy of = 200 GeV. Our analysis demonstrates that the eccentricity ε1, and K exhibit subtle yet discernible sensitivity to the input nuclear structure distinctions between 96Ru and 96Zr isobars. This observation suggests that measuring and the GMC parameter in these isobaric collisions could serve as a means to fine-tune the comprehension of their nuclear structure disparities and offer insights to enhance the initial condition assumptions of theoretical models.

The work reports a novel application of the interacting boson model in light-mass region around 48Ca, that takes into account intruder states and configuration mixing. The model is shown to provide a reasonable description of the observed low-lying yrast and yrare states of the N = 28 even–even isotones from Si to Fe, and even–even Ca isotopes. The nature of states is addressed in terms of the competition between spherical and deformed intruder configurations, and the rigidity of the N = 28 shell gap is tested, particularly for 44S. The isomer in 44S is shown to arise from a weak mixing between the two configurations and called as shape isomer. The unresolved low-lying spectra in 46Ar is also approached using the core-excitations across N = 28 shell. The SU(3) structure in 42Si is supported by the present calculation. The nearly spherical nature of 50Ti, 52Cr, 54Fe and 42,44,46Ca isotopes is found, while the core excitations are found to be essential for the description of yrare states. Shell model calculation is also performed for comparison.
这项工作报告了相互作用玻色子模型在 48Ca 附近轻质量区域的新应用,其中考虑到了侵入态和构型混合。结果表明,该模型合理地描述了从硅到铁的 N = 28 偶偶同素异形体以及偶偶钙同素异形体中观测到的低洼镱态和镱态。从球形构型和变形侵入构型之间的竞争角度探讨了状态的性质,并检验了 N = 28 壳间隙的刚性,特别是 44S 的刚性。结果表明,44S 中的异构体产生于两种构型之间的微弱混合,被称为形状异构体。此外,还利用 N = 28 壳间的核跃迁研究了 46Ar 中未解析的低频光谱。本计算支持 42Si 中的 SU(3) 结构。发现了 50Ti、52Cr、54Fe 和 42、44、46Ca 同位素的近似球形性质,同时发现核激发对于描述稀态至关重要。为了进行比较,还进行了壳模型计算。

This study explores the dynamics of charge transport within a cryogenic P-type Ge particle detector, fabricated from a crystal cultivated at the University of South Dakota. By subjecting the detector to cryogenic temperatures and an Am-241 source, we observe evolving charge dynamics and the emergence of cluster dipole states, leading to the impact ionization process at 40 mK. Our analysis focuses on crucial parameters: the zero-field cross-section of cluster dipole states and the binding energy of these states. For the Ge detector in our investigation, the zero-field cross-section of cluster dipole states is determined to be 8.45 × 10−11 ± 4.22 × 10−12 cm2. Examination of the binding energy associated with cluster dipole states, formed by charge trapping onto dipole states during the freeze-out process, reveals a value of 0.034 ± 0.0017 meV. These findings shed light on the intricate charge states influenced by the interplay of temperature and electric field, with potential implications for the sensitivity in detecting low-mass dark matter.
这项研究探索了低温 P 型 Ge 粒子探测器内的电荷传输动力学,该探测器是由南达科他大学培育的晶体制成的。通过将探测器置于低温和 Am-241 源下,我们观察到了电荷动态的演变和簇偶极子态的出现,从而导致了 40 mK 时的撞击电离过程。我们的分析侧重于关键参数:簇偶极子态的零场截面和这些态的结合能。对于我们研究中的 Ge 探测器,簇偶极子态的零场截面被确定为 8.45 × 10-11 ± 4.22 × 10-12 cm2。对冻结过程中电荷捕获到偶极子态上而形成的与簇偶极子态相关的结合能的研究显示,其值为 0.034 ± 0.0017 meV。这些发现揭示了受温度和电场相互作用影响的错综复杂的电荷态,对探测低质量暗物质的灵敏度具有潜在影响。

In this work, we investigate the impact of neutrino decay in the presence of non-standard interactions (NSI) along with the effects of the Majorana phase on neutrino decay in matter in the context of two-flavor neutrino oscillations. These effects are studied on neutrino oscillation probabilities Pαβ ≡ P(να → νβ), and the difference for several accelerator and reactor neutrino experiments. We find that for Pαβ, the influence of the Majorana phase on decay in matter can be replicated by the simultaneous presence of both decay and NSI. However, precise measurements of the Pαβ and ΔPαβ observables have the potential to unequivocally identify the presence of the Majorana phase by discerning its effects from the concurrent presence of both decay and NSI.
