Demonstrating the Sagnac Effect Using Tabletop Optics on a Rotary Platform 在旋转平台上使用桌面光学演示Sagnac效应

A Sagnac interferometer splits an incident beam of light into two components which travel in opposite directions of the same path. Consequently, each beam travels an equivalent distance. However, by rotating the entire apparatus at a sufficient speed, a noticeable change in the beams’ interference pattern is observed. This pattern results from one beam travelling against rotation and the other travelling with rotation, resulting in an increase or decrease in apparent path length, respectively. This is known as the Sagnac Effect. By using a traditional mirror-and-laser interferometer setup and a large turntable, we demonstrate the Sagnac Effect by showing that a given angular velocity results in a phase shift which matches what is predicted.
Sagnac干涉仪将入射光束分成两个分量,这两个分量在相同的路径上以相反的方向传播。因此,每束光束传播的距离是相等的。然而,通过以足够的速度旋转整个装置,可以观察到光束干涉模式的明显变化。这种模式是由一束反旋转运动和另一束随旋转运动造成的,分别导致视路径长度的增加或减少。这就是众所周知的萨格纳克效应。通过使用传统的镜面和激光干涉仪设置和大型转台,我们通过显示给定角速度导致相移与预测相匹配来证明Sagnac效应。

Abstract. A large flux of neutrinos is expected in the forward direction of the pp collisions [1, 3] at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Several experiments have recently been proposed at CERN to detect these neutrinos and discussion has started on the possibility of building a Forward Physics Facility grouping many of them. Among the others, the FASER-nu [2] proposal consists of a lead+emulsion neutrino detector at a distance of 480 m from the ATLAS interaction region along the tangent to the LHC beamline. Old calculations of neutrinos rates in the forward direction were done to leading order in the QCD perturbative series. We have included next-to-leading order (NLO) terms in our calculation. We have also studied the effect of incorporating a non-perturbative Gaussian intrinsic kT . This kT effect mimics the contribution from missing higher-order terms in QCD calculations. We present the study of uncertainties due to scale variations and Parton Distribution Function (PDF) variations in the production rate of D and tau neutrinos in the far-forward Production at the Large Hadron Collider. We compare our predictions with the LHCb data with D production in the rapidity range of [2 −4.5] at the LHC. In our studies, for which we consider various modern PDF sets, we also include the comparison of predictions obtained by different dynamical central scale assumptions.
摘要在欧洲核子研究中心(CERN)的大型强子对撞机(LHC)中,在pp碰撞的正向方向上预计会有大量的中微子通量[1,3]。欧洲核子研究中心最近提出了几个实验来探测这些中微子,并开始讨论建立一个前沿物理设施的可能性,该设施将许多中微子集合在一起。其中,FASER-nu[2]方案包括一个铅+乳液中微子探测器,位于距离ATLAS相互作用区域480米的地方,沿着LHC束流线的切线。在QCD微扰序列中,对正方向上的中微子速率的旧计算是按序进行的。我们在计算中包含了次领先顺序(NLO)项。我们还研究了加入非微扰高斯本征kT的影响。这种kT效应模拟了在QCD计算中缺少高阶项的贡献。我们提出了在大型强子对撞机的远向生产中,由于尺度变化和Parton分布函数(PDF)变化导致的D和tau中微子生产速率的不确定性的研究。我们将我们的预测结果与大型强子对撞机的数据进行了比较,其中D的产生速度范围为[2−4.5]。在我们的研究中,我们考虑了各种现代PDF集,我们还包括由不同动态中心尺度假设获得的预测的比较。

In this research, we are reporting the light curve of RR Lyrae type variable star TV Lyn. This star is observed in the northern hemisphere and its coordinates are 07:33:31.7 +47:48:09.8. We have used data from Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) which consists of a worldwide network of robotic telescopes. Photometric measurements were conducted using the SBIG 6303 0.4-meter telescope with a field of view of 29’x19’. Depending on what the color of a star is when different filters are applied to it, the luminosity will change accordingly. Our data consists of four filters, Bessell B (Blue), Bessell V (visual), SDSS-I (Infrared), and PAN-STARRS-Z (Near Infrared). Results show that this star has a variability period of 0.2407±0.002 days, metallicity -1.49, and located at a distance of 1362±118 pc. We have used an estimate of the reddening E(B-V) as 0.08. This research is a part of an Our Solar Sibling Project by an undergraduate student with the help of a faculty advisor and an Our Solar Sibling Project Investigator.

Microgel Dynamics Characterization Using SEM 利用扫描电镜进行微凝胶动力学表征
Pub Date : 2021-01-01 DOI: 10.1063/10.0006350

A methodology for imaging the dynamics of individual microgel particles using high resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is presented. To enable this, the microgels are dispersed in an ionic liquid, which due to its low vapor pressure allows them to remain in suspension even under the high vacuum conditions present in a typical electron gun. Thus, compared with conventional electron microscopy studies of microgels, no sample drying or freezing is necessary which preserves their morphology while also allowing to probe microgel dynamics in solution. The results based on the individually tracked particles are compared with results from dynamic light scattering (DLS) which measures the mean size and diffusion properties of large collectives of particles. For the size measurements, the SEM and DLS data are in general agreement. For the particle dynamics, monitoring individual microgel motion reveals complex dynamics in which, aside from the expected thermal motion, one observes effects such as clustering, rotation and drift. This is in contrast with a control sample of hard sphere-like silica particles where the motion is primarily diffusional in good agreement with DLS studies.
提出了一种利用高分辨率扫描电子显微镜(SEM)成像单个微凝胶颗粒动力学的方法。为了实现这一点,微凝胶分散在离子液体中,由于其低蒸气压,即使在典型电子枪中存在的高真空条件下,它们也能保持悬浮状态。因此,与传统的微凝胶电子显微镜研究相比,不需要样品干燥或冷冻,这保留了它们的形态,同时也允许探测溶液中的微凝胶动力学。将基于单个跟踪粒子的结果与动态光散射(DLS)的结果进行了比较,动态光散射(DLS)测量了大颗粒集体的平均大小和扩散特性。对于尺寸测量,SEM和DLS数据基本一致。对于粒子动力学,监测单个微凝胶运动揭示了复杂的动力学,其中除了预期的热运动外,人们还观察到诸如聚集,旋转和漂移等效应。这与硬球形二氧化硅颗粒的控制样品形成对比,后者的运动主要是扩散的,与DLS研究很好地一致。

In this paper, we describe the design, construction, testing, and installation of the cosmic ray trigger system used to commission the VerteX Detector (VXD) of the Belle II experiment at the High-Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan. The system consists of two rows of scintillators; with six scintillators being on top of the VXD, and six at the bottom of it. The scintillators were characterized (plateaus, threshold values, coincidences rate), and when compared with the simulation values a concordant match was found for all cosmic coincidence measurements. In Phase 3 of SuperKEKB accelerator, the VXD was the last sub-detector to be integrated into the heart of Belle II detector, after it was absent from being integrated within Belle II in Phase 1 and Phase 2 of SuperKEKB machine studies. A system consisting of VXD prototype parts had been installed, into Belle II detectors, at the VXD location during Phase 2 to study background and it was found that the VXD can cope with the level of measured background: allowing the VXD to be present during Phase 3 Belle II data taking. The VXD was tested with cosmic rays outside of Belle II before it was integrated within Belle II just before Phase 3 data taking, which commenced in March 2019.
在本文中,我们描述了日本高能加速器研究组织(KEK)用于调试Belle II实验的VerteX探测器(VXD)的宇宙线触发系统的设计、构造、测试和安装。该系统由两排闪烁体组成;VXD顶部有六个闪烁体,底部有六个。对闪烁体进行了表征(平台、阈值、重合率),当与模拟值进行比较时,发现所有宇宙重合测量结果一致。在SuperKEKB加速器的第3阶段,VXD是最后一个集成到Belle II探测器心脏中的子探测器,此前在SuperKEKB机器研究的第1阶段和第2阶段,它没有集成在Belle II中。在第二阶段,在VXD位置的Belle II探测器中安装了一个由VXD原型部件组成的系统,以研究背景,发现VXD可以应对测量的背景水平:允许VXD在第三阶段Belle II数据采集期间出现。VXD在2019年3月开始的第三阶段数据采集之前,在Belle II内部集成之前,在其外部用宇宙射线进行了测试。

Test Particle Calculation of Plasma Equilibria 等离子体平衡的测试粒子计算
Pub Date : 2021-01-01 DOI: 10.1063/10.0006349
Jonathan Sullivan-Wood, D. Holland
We present a numerical technique for self-consistently calculating plasma equilibria with prescribed sources and sinks on the boundaries, i.e. a scattering system. The method is applied to the earth’s magnetotail. The method follows individual particles through a prescribed magnetic field, while calculating the density, current and pressure that the particle contributes on a uniformly spaced grid. The individual particles are weighted to model a given source distribution and the total equilibrium properties, including the resulting magnetic field, are evaluated. The calculated and prescribed magnetic fields are then compared. If the fields differ significantly, the two fields are mixed and the process repeated. Convergence to the self-consistent field typically takes between 100 and 150 iterations.

Mapping the Photoresponse of the Quantum-Dot Based Photon-Number-Resolving Detector 基于量子点的光子数分辨探测器的光响应映射

Efficient and versatile photon-number resolving detectors are critical to the development of future communication systems. The quantum-dot, optically-gated, field-effect transistor (QDOGFET) is one such detector. Utilizing quantum dots (QDs), tiny islands of semiconductor, imbedded in a transistor, QDOGFETs have been shown to exhibit single-photon sensitivity and photon-number-resolving (PNR) capabilities. A photon is detected when it photocharges a QD, which alters the amount of current flowing through the transistor by screening the gate field. Crucial to the resolving power is that each charged QD produce the same response, regardless of its location within the active area of the device. Here, we investigate the extent spatial nonuniformities in the QDOGFET’s response to light limit its ability to distinguish different numbers of photons. By using an optical-scanning microscope (OSM), contour plots of a QDOGFET’s response are acquired that show that the device exhibits localized “hotspots” where it is particularly sensitive to photons. The spatial resolution of the microscope is enhanced by capping the QDOGFET with a solid-immersion lens (SIL). We present experimental results that show how the hotspots depend on bias conditions and help decipher the root cause of the nonuniformities.
高效、通用的光子数分辨探测器对未来通信系统的发展至关重要。量子点光门控场效应晶体管(QDOGFET)就是这样一种探测器。利用嵌入在晶体管中的量子点(QDs), qdogfet已被证明具有单光子灵敏度和光子数分辨(PNR)能力。当光子给量子点充电时,就会被检测到,量子点通过屏蔽栅极场来改变流过晶体管的电流量。分辨率的关键在于每个带电的量子点产生相同的响应,而不管它在设备的活动区域内的位置如何。在这里,我们研究了QDOGFET对光响应的空间非均匀性在多大程度上限制了它区分不同数量光子的能力。通过使用光学扫描显微镜(OSM),获得了QDOGFET响应的等高线图,表明该器件在对光子特别敏感的地方显示出局部“热点”。在QDOGFET上加盖固体浸没透镜(SIL),提高了显微镜的空间分辨率。我们提供的实验结果表明,热点如何依赖于偏置条件,并有助于破译不均匀性的根本原因。

The quantum-dot, optically-gated, field-effect transistor (QDOGFET) is one such detector. Utilizing quantum dots (QDs), tiny islands of semiconductor, imbedded in a transistor, QDOGFETs have been shown to exhibit single-photon sensitivity and photon-number-resolving (PNR) capabilities.

We present experimental results that show how the hotspots depend on bias conditions and help decipher the root cause of the nonuniformities.","PeriodicalId":93662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate reports in physics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59872125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A large molecular machine called the mitotic spindle is responsible for accurate chromosome segregation in eukaryotic cells. The spindle consists of protein filaments known as microtubules and microtubule-associated proteins such as motors and crosslinkers, which help impart its organization. In the case of the fission yeast S. pombe, these form a single bundle inside the nucleus. During spindle elongation, sliding by motor proteins provides an internal source of extensile forces, which are resisted by the compressive forces of the nuclear envelope. To probe the sources of this force balance, we cut the spindle using focused laser light at various stages of spindle elongation. We find that the spindle pole bodies collapse toward each other post-ablation. While this basic behavior has been previously observed, many questions remain about the timing, mechanics, and molecular requirements of this phenomenon. Here, we quantify the time scale of the relaxation and probe its underlying mechanism. We demonstrate that viscoelastic relaxation of the nuclear envelope cannot explain this phenomenon and provide evidence of active forces as the underlying mechanism.

在真核细胞中,一种被称为有丝分裂纺锤体的大型分子机器负责精确的染色体分离。纺锤体由称为微管的蛋白质细丝和微管相关蛋白质(如马达和交联剂)组成,这些蛋白质有助于赋予其组织结构。在裂变酵母S. pombe的情况下,这些在细胞核内形成一个单束。在纺锤体伸长过程中,运动蛋白的滑动提供了一种内部的可拉伸力来源,这种可拉伸力被核膜的压缩力所抵抗。为了探索这种力平衡的来源,我们在主轴伸长的各个阶段使用聚焦激光切割主轴。我们发现,在烧蚀后,主轴杆体相互坍塌。虽然这种基本行为以前已经被观察到,但关于这种现象的时间、机制和分子要求仍然存在许多问题。在这里,我们量化了弛豫的时间尺度,并探讨了其潜在的机制。我们证明了核膜的粘弹性松弛不能解释这一现象,并提供了主动力作为潜在机制的证据。
