- The DO experiment enjoyed a very successful data-collection run at the Fermilab Tevatron collider between 1992 and 1996. Since then, the detector has been upgraded to take advantage of improvements to the Tevatron and to enhance its physics capabilities. We describe the new elements of the detector, including the silicon microstrip tracker, central fiber tracker, solenoidal magnet, preshower detectors, forward muon detector, and forward proton detector. The uranium/liquid -argon calorimeters and central muon detector, remaining from Run 1, are discussed briefly. We also present the associated electronics, triggering, and data acquisition systems, along with the design and implementation of software specific to DO.

- We report a new measurement of the t (t) over bar production cross section in p (beta) over bar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV using events with one charged lepton (electron or muon), missing transverse energy, and jets. Using 425 pb(-1) of data collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, and enhancing the t (t) over bar content of the sample by tagging b jets with a secondary vertex tagging algorithm, the t (t) over bar production cross section is measured to be sigma(p (t) over bar -> t (t) over bar +X)=6.6 +/- 0.9(stat+syst) +/- 0.4(lum) pb. This cross section is the most precise D0 measurement to date for t (t) over bar production and is in good agreement with standard model expectations.

- Aurivillius oxides have been a research focus due to their ferroelectric properties, but by replacing oxide ions by fluoride, divalent magnetic cations can be introduced, giving Bi2MO2F4(M = Fe, Co, and Ni). Our combined experimental and computational study on Bi2CoO2F4 indicates a low-temperature polar structure of P21ab symmetry (analogous to ferroelectric Bi2WO6) and a ferrimagnetic ground state. These results highlight the potential of Aurivillius oxide-fluorides for multiferroic properties. Our research has also revealed some challenges associated with the reduced tendency for polar displacements in the more ionic fluoride-based systems.

Experimental studies of attosecond pulse trains

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present experimental measurements of attosecond pulse trains. The characterization of the pulses uses a spectral interferometry technique that is implemented with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. This allows us to manipulate independently the pump and probe pulses for a wide range of applications. By letting the attosecond pulses pass through metallic films, we can in particular compensate for the intrinsic chirp of the attosecond pulses corresponding to the plateau spectral region, thus getting pulses as short as 170 attoseconds-only 1.2 optical cycles at the central frequency. The measurement technique is also applicable for determination of the group delay of thin XUV-transparent films and relative delay in the photoionization process. Our experimental method is applied to attosecond pulse trains created by 35- and 9-fs laser pulses, and the shortest train observed consists of three or four pulses.

Formative period in the x-ray-induced photodissociation of organic molecules

- Absorption of x-ray photons by atomic inner shells of light-element organics and biomolecules often leads to formation of dicationic electronic states and to molecular fragmentation. We investigated the x-ray-induced dissociation landscape of a representative medium-sized organic molecule, thiophene, by femtosecond x-ray pulses from the Super Photon Ring-8 GeV (SPring-8) Angstrom Compact Free-Electron Laser (SACLA). Holes, created in the sulfur 2p orbital by photoemission, were filled by the Auger process that created dicationic molecular states within a broad range of internal energies—a starting point particular to x-ray-induced dynamics. The evolution of the ionized molecules was monitored by a pump-probe experiment using a near-infrared (800 nm) laser pulse. Ion-ion coincidence and ion momentum analysis reveals enhanced yields of ionic fragments from multibody breakup of the ring, attributed to additional ionization of the highly excited fraction of the dicationic parent molecular states. The transient nature of the enhancement and its decay with about a 160-fs time constant indicate formation of an open-ring parent geometry and the statistical survival time of the parent species before the dissociation events. By probing specific Auger final states of transient, highly excited nature by near-infrared light, we demonstrate how pump-probe signatures can be related to the key features in dynamics during the early period of the x-ray-induced damage of organic molecules and biomolecules.
