Calculated late time spectra of supernovae (open access)

Calculated late time spectra of supernovae

We consider here the nebular phase spectra of supernovae whose late time luminosity is provided by the radioactive decay of /sup 56/Ni and /sup 56/Co synthesized in the explosion. A broad variety of supernovae are known or suspected to fall in this category. This includes all SNIa and SNIb, and at least some SNII, in particular SN1987a. At sufficiently late times the expanding supernova becomes basically nebular in character due to its decreasing optical depth. The spectra produced during this stage contain information on the density and abundance structure of the entire supernova, as opposed to spectra near maximum light which are affected only by the outermost layers. A numerical model for nebular spectrum formation is therefore potentially very valuable for answering currently outstanding questions about the post-explosion supernova structure. As an example, we can hope to determine the degree of mixing which occurs between the layers of the ''onion-skin'' abundance structure predicted by current one dimensional explosion calculations. In the sections which follow, such a numerical model is briefly described and then applied to SN1972e, a typical SNIa, SN1985f, an SNIb, and finally to SN1987a. In the case of SN1987a predicted spectra are presented for the wavelength range from …

Charmonium spectroscopy, 1987 (open access)

Charmonium spectroscopy, 1987

The state of charmonium spectroscopy is reviewed. All analyses proceed from a spin-dependent, non-relativistic Schroedinger equation. Many of the possible branching ratios for charm like states are investigated. 17 refs.

Semi-inclusive inelastic electron scattering from nuclei (open access)

Semi-inclusive inelastic electron scattering from nuclei

A survey is presented of the physics of the electroproduction of hadrons from nuclear targets, eA ..-->.. e'hX. Variables and structure functions are specified. The parton model description of electroproduction is summarized; fragmentation functions are defined and their properties are listed. Specific measurements are suggested. Predictions of the pion exchange model are presented for the nuclear dependence of eA ..-->.. e'hX, including a discussion of the special subprocess e..pi.. ..-->.. e'..pi.. in which scattering occurs from the pion constituents of nuclei.

The m(A1/sup + +/)/m(E/sup + +/) mass ratio from lattice gauge theory (open access)

The m(A1/sup + +/)/m(E/sup + +/) mass ratio from lattice gauge theory

Evidence is presented that, in the infinite volume continuum limit, the m(A1/sup + +/) and the m(E/sup + +/) mass are almost degenerate. (A slightly lower A1/sup + +/ mass is preferred.) A1/sup + +/ and E/sup + +/ are irreducible representations of the cubic group and supposed to correspond to spin 0/sup + +/ and 2/sup + +/, respectively.

Channeling and dechanneling at high energy (open access)

Channeling and dechanneling at high energy

The possibility of using channeling as a tool for high energy particle physics has now been extensively investigated. Bent crystals have been used as an accelerator extraction element and for particle deflection. Applications as accelerating devices have been discussed but appear remote. The major advantage in using a bent crystal rather than a magnet is the large deflection that can be achieved in a short length. The major disadvantage is the low transmission. A good understanding of dechanneling is important for applications. 43 refs., 1 fig., 3 tabs.
