- Inclusive differential cross sections dsigma(pA)/dx(F) and dsigma(pA)/dp(t)(2) for the production of K-S(0), Lambda, and (&ULambda;) over bar particles are measured at HERA in proton-induced reactions on C, Al, Ti, and W targets. The incident beam energy is 920 GeV, corresponding to roots = 41.6 GeV in the proton-nucleon system. The ratios of differential cross sections dsigma(pA)(K-S(0))/dsigma(pA)(Lambda) and dsigma(pA)((&ULambda;) over bar)/dsigma(pA) (Lambda) are measured to be 6.2 +/- 0.5 and 0.66 +/- 0.07, respectively, for x(F) approximate to -0.06. No significant dependence upon the target material is observed. Within errors, the slopes of the transverse momentum distributions da,Ald t also show no significant dependence upon the target material. The dependence of the extrapolated total cross sections sigma(pA) on the atomic mass A of the target material is discussed, and the deduced cross sections per nucleon sigma(pN) are compared with results obtained at other energies.

Measurement of the b(b)over-bar production cross section in 920 GeV fixed-target proton-nucleus collisions

- Using the HERA-B detector, the b (b) over bar production cross section has been measured in 920 GeV proton collisions on carbon and titanium targets. The b (b) over bar production was tagged via inclusive bottom quark decays into J/psi by exploiting the longitudinal separation of J/psi --> l(+)l(-) decay vertices from the primary proton-nucleus interaction. Both e(+)e(-) and mu(+)mu(-) channels have been reconstructed and the combined analysis yields the cross section sigma(b (b) over bar) = 32(-12)(+14)(stat) (+6)(-7)(sys) nb/nucleon.

- The instrumentation in Hall A at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility was designed to study electro-and photo-induced reactions at very high luminosity and good momentum and angular resolution for at least one of the reaction products. The central components of Hall A are two identical high resolution spectrometers, which allow the vertical drift chambers in the focal plane to provide a momentum resolution of better than 2 x 10(-4). A variety of Cherenkov counters, scintillators and lead-glass calorimeters provide excellent particle identification. The facility has been operated successfully at a luminosity well in excess of 10(38) CM-2 s(-1). The research program is aimed at a variety of subjects, including nucleon structure functions, nucleon form factors and properties of the nuclear medium. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Characterization of strained Si/Si1-xGex/Si heterostructures annealed in oxygen or argon
- 2002

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The strained Si/Si1-xGex/Si layer heterostructure heat treated from 700 degreesC to 950 degreesC in Ar (annealing) or O-2-C2H2Cl2 (oxidation) was characterized using high-resolution x-ray diffraction in combination with Rutherford backscattering. Only small changes to the structure are observed up to 800 degreesC, within the resolution limits of diffraction and backscattering. Severe strain relaxation occurs at 950 degreesC and the heterostructure tends to relax more during annealing in Ar than during oxidation in O-2-C2H2Cl2. The strain relaxation is mainly caused by interdiffusion of Si and Ge rather than formation of misfit dislocations. Diffusion of Si interstitials generated during oxidation into the heterostructure is suggested as the cause responsible for the less pronounced interdiffusion of Si and Ge in the oxidized samples.

Performance of three-phase three-dimensional electrode reactor for the reduction of COD in simulated wastewater-containing phenol

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) from wastewater-containing phenol was investigated using three-phase three-dimensional electrode reactor. Special attention was paid to experimentally probe the performance of the reactor in COD removal in the process of repeated batch runs. The experimental results showed that the reactor could remove COD from phenol-containing wastewater much more efficiently than both granulated activated carbon (GAC) adsorption bed and conventional three-dimensional electrode. For 200th batch run, the three-phase three-dimensional electrode reactor with an airflow of 5 1 min(-1) and a cell voltage of 30 V could remove 1350 ppm COD from the wastewater in 30 min while conventional three-dimensional electrode reactor with a same cell voltage and GAC adsorption bed with a same airflow only could remove 610 and 1000 ppm, respectively, at the same reaction duration. Although it was found that COD removal decreased with increasing repeated batch runs in our experimental range, due to adsorption saturation of GAC and electrode passivation, the extent of decrease for the three-phase three-dimensional electrode is much less than those for conventional three-dimensional electrodes and GAC adsorption beds. The passivated reactor could be partly re-activated by electrolysis in the presence of MnO2. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Removal of formic acid from wastewater using three-phase three-dimensional electrode reactor
- 2003

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new electrochemical reactor, three-phase three-dimensional electrode reactor, was designed and used to investigate the removal of formic acid from simulated wastewater. The experimental results were assessed in term of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal efficiency. The results showed that the three-phase three-dimensional electrodes could effectively remove formic acid. Its COD removal efficiency was much higher than those of two-dimensional electrodes and common three-dimensional electrodes, respectively. The COD removal efficiency of the three-phase three-dimensional electrodes using air as a sparge gas increased 13.5% relative to that using nitrogen as a sparge gas. The observation indicated that the sparged air in the three-phase three-dimensional electrodes not only participated in some physical processes but also played an important role in electrochemical reactions to assist COD removal.

Honeycomb photonic bandgap fiber with a modified core design
- 2004

- Air-silica honeycomb fiber with a modified core design is introduced. The core has a concentrated high-index region. Such core design helps defect core mode stay in the cladding's photonic bandgap for a longer wavelength range (>1000 nm) as compared to conventional design. We further point out the importance of our core design in reducing the number of defect modes supported by the fiber structure.
