The large enriched germanium experiment for neutrinoless double beta decay (LEGEND)
- 2017
-
In: AIP Conference Proceedings. - : Author(s). - 1551-7616 .- 0094-243X. ; 1894
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) would show that lepton number is violated, reveal that neu-trinos are Majorana particles, and provide information on neutrino mass. A discovery-capable experiment covering the inverted ordering region, with effective Majorana neutrino masses of 15 - 50 meV, will require a tonne-scale experiment with excellent energy resolution and extremely low backgrounds, at the level of ∼0.1 count /(FWHM·t·yr) in the region of the signal. The current generation 76Ge experiments GERDA and the Majorana Demonstrator, utilizing high purity Germanium detectors with an intrinsic energy resolution of 0.12%, have achieved the lowest backgrounds by over an order of magnitude in the 0νββ signal region of all 0νββ experiments. Building on this success, the LEGEND collaboration has been formed to pursue a tonne-scale 76Ge experiment. The collaboration aims to develop a phased 0νββ experimental program with discovery potential at a half-life approaching or at 1028 years, using existing resources as appropriate to expedite physics results.

Evaluation of Optimized 3-step Global Reaction Mechanism for CFD Simulations on Sandia Flame D
- 2011
-
In: AIP Conference Proceedings. - : AIP. - 1551-7616 .- 0094-243X. - 9780735409569 ; 1389, s. 66-69
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to evaluate a new optimized 3-step global reaction mechanism (opt) [1] for a methane-air mixture for industry purpose. The global reaction mechanism consists of three reactions corresponding to the fuel oxidation into CO and H2O, and the CO–CO2 equilibrium reaction. Correction functions that are dependent on the local equivalence ratio are introduced into the global mechanism. The optimized 3-step global reaction scheme is adapted into the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of a partially-premixed piloted methane jet flame. The burner consists of a central nozzle (for premixed fuel/air), surrounded by a premixed pilot flame, and an annular co-flow stream. Both steady-state RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes) and time-averaged hybrid URANS/LES (Unsteady RANS/Large Eddy Simulation) results have been computed and compared with experimental results obtained from the Sydney burner at Sandia National Laboratories, Sandia Flame D [2]. The CFD results with the optimized 3-step global reaction mechanism show reasonable agreement with the experimental data based on emission, velocity and temperature profiles, while the 2-step Westbrook Dryer (WD2) [3] global reaction mechanism shows poor agreement with the emission profiles. ©2011 American Institute of Physics

Double Blinding-Attack on Entanglement-Based Quantum Key Distribution Protocols
- 2012
-
In: AIP Conference Proceedings. - : AIP. - 0094-243X .- 1551-7616. - 9780735410046 ; 1424:1, s. 9-16
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We propose a double blinding-attack on entangled-based quantum key distribution protocols. The principle of the attack is the same as in existing blinding attack except that instead of blinding the detectors on one side only, Eve is blinding the detectors of both Alice and Bob. In the BBM92 protocol, the attack allows Eve to get a full knowledge of the key and remain undetected even if Alice and Bob are using 100% efficient detectors. The attack can be easily extended to Ekert protocol, with an efficiency as high as 85.3%.

Nuclear Structure of C-12 from Break-up Studies in Complete Kinematics
- 2009
-
In: AIP Conference Proceedings. - : AIP. - 1551-7616 .- 0094-243X. - 9780735407022 ; 1165, s. 27-30 461
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A complete kinematics study of the B-10(He-3,p alpha alpha alpha) and B-11(He-3,d alpha alpha alpha) reactions has been performed to study the multi-particle break-up of C-12 resonances above the triple-alpha threshold. Four-particle coincidence detection gives us complete information on the direction and energy of the individual alpha particles from the decay of C-12, allowing us to extract new information on the structure of C-12 which we shall present in this contribution. We have observed gamma de-excitation of the T=1 15.11 MeV resonance using charged particle detectors, and have constructed Dalitz plots of the individual resonances in C-12 using the complete kinematics information of the alpha particles which come from their break-up.

Flow in thin domains with a microstructure : Lubrication and thin porous media
- 2017
-
In: AIP Conference Proceedings. - : AIP Publishing. - 0094-243X .- 1551-7616. ; 1798
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper is devoted to homogenization of different models of flow in thin domains with a microstructure. The focus is on applications connected to the effect of surface roughness in full film lubrication, but a parallel to flow in thin porous media is also discussed. Mathematical models of such flows naturally include two small parameters. One is connected to the fluid film thickness and the other to the microstructure. The corresponding asymptotic analysis is a delicate problem, since the result depends on how fast the two small parameters tend to zero relative to each other. We give a review of the current status in this area and point out some future challenges.

Failure Analysis With a New Tool Geometry, X-Die, in Areas With High Tension/Compression Strains
- 2007
-
In: MATERIALS PROCESSING AND DESIGN; Modeling, Simulation and Applications; NUMIFORM '07; Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Numerical Methods in Industrial Forming Processes (AIP Conference Proceedings). - : AIP. - 1551-7616 .- 0094-243X. - 9780735404151 ; 908, s. 1445-1450
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Sheet-metal forming involves a complex strain distribution over the part. The strains consist of tension, compression, and a mix of both. A geometry has been developed, the X-Die, in order to gain insight into the strain behavior of different materials. The X-Die enables strain paths far into the tension/compression region, thus creating the possibility to extend the experimental base both for definition and for further extrapolation of the Forming Limit Curve (FLC) in the tension/compression region, as well as to evaluate FE-simulation results for the same region.Today, evaluation of cracks is made by using FLC. In the conventional test methods, the strains only reach 40% compression (true strain) and often much lower percentages. In conventional test methods, the FLC for any region beyond these levels is extrapolated from existing data.The experimental test proposed in this work consists of a geometry, the X-die, which has shown that rates of 70% tension/compression can be reached (point 0.7/−0.7 in the FLC). Thereby, the region for prediction of cracks on the compression side can be extended in the Forming Limit Diagram (FLD). Furthermore, the strain paths are easy to follow and the limits when cracks appear can be evaluated. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the behavior depends on the material quality. Qualities such as Extreme High Strength Steel (EHSS) and Aluminum have a limited tension/compression rate due to failure in plane strain tension. Material qualities with high r-values, e.g. Mild steel and High Strength Steel (HSS), reach high tension/compression rates before failure and have regions with clearly defined strain signatures. This will be favorable for comparison with numerical simulations, especially for strain signatures in the tension/compression region. Furthermore, the experiments did not indicate any limitation in the compression region besides the one defined in the normal procedure in creation of an FLC.This geometry is favorable to calibrate simulation results, in order to analyze prediction of strains located on the left side in an FLD. ©2007 American Institute of Physics

On the existence, structure and stability of static and stationary solutions of the Einstein-Vlasov system
- 2014
-
In: AIP Conference Proceedings: Plasma Physics and Relativistic Fluids. - : AIP Publishing LLC. - 0094-243X .- 1551-7616. - 9780735412088 ; 1578, s. 129-139
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The present status on the existence, structure and stability of static and stationary solutions of the Einstein-Vlasov system is reviewed. Under the assumptions that a spherically symmetric static object has isotropic pressure and non-increasing energy density outwards, Buchdahl showed 1959 the bound M/R<4/9, where M is the ADM mass and R the outer radius. Most static solutions of the Einstein-Vlasov system do not satisfy these assumptions. The bound M/R<4/9 nevertheless holds and it is sharp. An analogous bound in the charged case is also given. The important question of stability of spherically symmetric static solutions is presently open but numerical results are available and these are reviewed. A natural question is to go beyond spherical symmetry and consider axially symmetric solutions, and a recent result on the existence of axially symmetric stationary solutions is also discussed.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This contribution reports on the decay-out of the yrast superdeformed band in 59Cu. It decays by multiple γ-ray transitions into low-spin spherical states in the first minimum of the nuclear potential in 59Cu, and, in competition, by emitting two prompt protons into a spherical state in 58Ni. For the first time in A ~ 60, the role of doorway states in the course of the decay-out is discussed
