New results for the T20-component of the tensor-analyzing power of the incoherent negative pion photoproduction are presented. The experiment was performed for the electron beam energy of 800 MeV at the VEPP-3 storage ring in 2021. To extract the T20-component, we used asymmetry with respect to the change in the sign of the tensor polarization of the deuteron target. Identification of the reaction events was carried out by the detection of two protons in coincidence. Experimental data were compared with the results of statistical simulation, considering the interaction between the NN and πN subsystems in the final state of the reaction.

In this study, we employ strong field approximation (SFA) to investigate the influence of the number of pulse cycles on above-threshold ionization within the framework of nondipole theory. The SFA enables the analysis of the ionization process under the dominance of the electric field, compared to other factors such as the binding potential of an atom. Nondipole effects, including higher-order multipole fields, can significantly impact ionization dynamics. However, the interaction between nondipole effects and pulse cycles remains unclear. Therefore, we investigate the pulse cycle dependence of ionization and examine peak shifts in Kr and Ar atoms. Our findings have implications for comprehensively understanding the effects of electromagnetic fields on electron behavior. The insights gained from this study provide valuable guidance for future research in strong field ionization.

We have theoretically investigated nine unusual isomers of the molecular formula C5H4 using coupled cluster (CC) and density functional theory (DFT) methods. These molecules possess non-classical structures consisting of two pyramidanes, three planar tetracoordinate carbon (ptC), and four spiro types of isomers. Both the pyramidanes (tetracyclo-[2.1.0.01,3.02,5]pentane; py-1 and tricyclo-[2.1.0.02,5]pentan-3-ylidene; py-2) are minima on the potential energy surface (PES) of C5H4. Among the three isomers containing ptC, (SP4)-spiro [2.2]pent-1-yne (ptC-2) is a minimum, whereas isomer, (SP4)-spiro [2.2]pent-1,4-diene (ptC-1) is a fourth-order saddle point, and (SP4)-sprio[2.2]pent-1,4-diylidene (ptC-3) is a transition state. The corresponding spiro isomers spiro[2.2]pent-1,4-diene (spiro-1), sprio[2.2]pent-1,4-diylidene (spiro-3) and spiro[2.2]pent-4-en-1-ylidene (spiro-4) are local minima, except spiro[2.2]pent-1-yne (spiro-2), which is a second-order saddle point. All relative energies are calculated with respect to the global minimum (pent-1,3-diyne; 1) at the CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ level of theory. Quantum chemical calculations have been performed to analyze the bonding and topological configurations for all these nine isomers at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory for a better understanding of their corresponding electronic structures. ptC-2 was found to be thermodynamically more stable than its corresponding spiro counterpart (spiro-2) and possesses a high dipole moment (μ = 4.64 D). The stability of the ptC structures with their higher spin states has been discussed.

In this study, eight emission lines in the visible wavelength range of neutral helium were used to diagnose the electron density and temperature of the Large Helical Device (LHD) helium plasma instead of the conventional three-line method. The collisional-radiative (CR) model for low-pressure helium plasma was revised to include the optical escape factors for spontaneous transition from the n1P states to the ground state so that the influence of the absorption effect under optically thick conditions could be considered. The developed algorithm was based on fitting the number densities of eight excited states obtained using optical emission spectroscopy (OES). The electron density, electron temperature, ground-state density, and optical escape factors were selected as the fitting parameters. The objective function was set as the summation of the residual errors between the number densities measured in the experiment and those calculated using the revised model. A regularization term was introduced for the optical escape factor and optimized through bias and variance analyses. The results show that the agreement between the number density calculated by the algorithm and its counterpart measured in the experiment was generally improved compared to the method using three lines.

In this paper, we theoretically study the laser-induced modification of the vibrational parameters of a carbon dioxide molecule regarding its tunnel ionization. Our study predicts a 5% increase in the ionization rate in anti-Stokes channels that corresponds to pumping the Σu mode up to vai=10. The molecule is imparted with an additional energy from the pre-pumped vibrational states, which is absorbed during ionization. As a result, the tunneling rate increases. This amplification of tunnel ionization of the CO2 gas target can potentially be used for the laser separation of carbon isotopes.

In the present paper, we study the high-order above-threshold ionization of noble-gas atoms using a bi-elliptic orthogonal two-color (BEOTC) field. We give an overview of the SFA theory and calculate the differential ionization rate for various values of the laser field parameters. We show that the ionization rate strongly depends on the ellipticity and the relative phase between two field components. Using numerical optimization, we find the values of ellipticity and relative phase that maximize the ionization rate at energies close to the cutoff energy. To explain the obtained results, we present, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time the quantum-orbit analysis in the BEOTC field. We find and classify the saddle-point (SP) solutions and study their contributions to the total ionization rate. We analyze quantum orbits and corresponding velocities to explain the contribution of relevant SP solutions.

This paper proposes a new double-nozzle technique for in-gas-jet laser resonance ionization spectroscopy. We explored the functionality of this new technique through detailed gas dynamic and Monte Carlo atom-trajectory simulations, in which results are presented and discussed. The results of similar computer simulations for JetRIS setup (as a typical representative of the conventional in-gas-jet technique nowadays) are also presented and discussed. The direct comparison of calculation results for the proposed new technique with the conventional one shows that the double-nozzle technique has many advantages compared with the one used in the JetRIS setup at GSI for future high-resolution laser spectroscopic study of heaviest elements. To fully implement the proposed new technique in all existing (or under construction) setups for in-gas-jet laser resonance ionization spectroscopy, it will be enough to replace the used supersonic nozzle with the miniature double-nozzle device described in the paper.

Multiple charged ions of iron dominate the EUV spectrum of the solar corona. For the interpretation of such spectra, data on both the atomic structure and the transition rate are essential, most of which are provided by theory and computation. The wavelengths of observed spectra are used to test the predicted energy level structure, while the line intensities depend on level lifetimes and branch fractions. A number of electric dipole and higher-order transition rates have been measured over the years in the laboratory, mostly by beam-foil spectroscopy, at heavy-ion storage rings, and at various ion traps. In this paper, the state of the knowledge base on level lifetimes in all ions of Fe is assessed, and the problems of further progress are outlined.
