Production and electromagnetic decay of hyperons : a feasibility study with HADES as a phase-0 experiment at FAIR
- 2021
-
In: European Physical Journal A. - : Springer Nature. - 1434-6001 .- 1434-601X. ; 57:4
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A feasibility study has been performed in order to investigate the performance of the HADES detector to measure the electromagnetic decays of the hyperon resonances Sigma(1385)(0), Lambda(1405) and Lambda(1520) as well as the production of double strange baryon systems Xi(-) and Lambda Lambda in p + p reactions at a beam kinetic energy of 4.5GeV. The existing HADES detector will be upgraded by a new Forward Detector, which extends the detector acceptance into a range of polar angles that plays a crucial role for these investigations. The analysis of each channel is preceded by a consideration of the production cross-sections. Afterwards the expected signal count rates using a target consisting of either liquid hydrogen or polyethylene are summarized.

- 2009

In: Physics Letters B. - : Elsevier BV. - 0370-2693 .- 1873-2445. ; 677:1-2, s. 24-29

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the first production run of the WASA experiment at COSY, the eta decay into three neutral pions was measured in proton-proton interactions at a proton beam kinetic energy of 1.4 GeV. The Dalitz plot of the three pious was Studied using 1.2 x 10(5) fully reconstructed events. and the quadratic slope parameter alpha was determined to be -0.027 +/- 0.008(stat) +/- 0.005(syst). The result is consistent with previous measurements and further corroborates the importance of pion-pion final state interactions. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The role of oxidation level in mass-transport properties and dehumidification performance of graphene oxide membranes
- 2021
-
In: Carbon. - : Elsevier BV. - 0008-6223 .- 1873-3891. ; 183, s. 404-414

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Here we report on gas and vapor transport properties of ultra-thin graphene oxide (GO) membranes, with various C:O ratios. Graphene oxide nanosheets with an average lateral size of 800 nm and C:O ratio ranging from 2.11 to 1.81 have been obtained using improved Hummers' method by variation of graphite:KMnO4 ratio. Thin-film selective layers based on the obtained graphene oxide have been spin-coated onto porous substrates. To extend the C:O range to 2.60, thermal reduction of GO membranes was applied. A decrease in C:O ratio leads to significant water vapor permeance growth to over 60 m(3)(STP).m(-2).bar(-1).h(-1) while the permeance towards permanent gases reduces slightly. According to the permeation and sorption measurements, a decisive role of H2O diffusivity has been established, while the water sorption capacity of the graphene oxide stays nearly independent of C:O ratio in GO. The result is supported by semi-empirical modeling which reveals diminution of H2O jump activation barriers with both increasing GO interlayer spacing and its oxidation degree. The height of the activation barriers was found to vary up to an order of magnitude within the entire range of relative humidity (0-100% RH), lowering significantly for strongly oxidized GO. Our results evidence the necessity of attaining maximum GO oxidation degree for improving water transport in GO, especially at low partial pressures.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The WASA 4 pi multidetector system, aimed at investigating light meson production in light ion collisions and eta meson rare decays at the CELSIUS storage ring in Uppsala is presented. A unique feature of the system is the use of hydrogen pellets as internal targets for the first time. A detailed description of the design, together with the anticipated and achieved performance parameters are given. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Revealing Three-Dimensional Structure of an Individual Colloidal Crystal Grain by Coherent X-Ray Diffractive Imaging
- 2016
-
In: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007. ; 117:13
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present results of a coherent x-ray diffractive imaging experiment performed on a single colloidal crystal grain. The full three-dimensional (3D) reciprocal space map measured by an azimuthal rotational scan contained several orders of Bragg reflections together with the coherent interference signal between them. Applying the iterative phase retrieval approach, the 3D structure of the crystal grain was reconstructed and positions of individual colloidal particles were resolved. As a result, an exact stacking sequence of hexagonal close-packed layers including planar and linear defects were identified.

Abashian-Booth-Crowe Effect in Basic Double-Pionic Fusion : A New Resonance?
- 2011
-
In: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 106:24, s. 242302-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report on an exclusive and kinematically complete high-statistics measurement of the basic double-pionic fusion reaction pn -> d pi(0)pi(0) over the full energy region of the ABC effect, a pronounced low-mass enhancement in the pi pi-invariant mass spectrum. The measurements, which cover also the transition region to the conventional t- channel Delta Delta process, were performed with the upgraded WASA detector setup at COSY. The data reveal the Abashian-Booth-Crowe effect to be uniquely correlated with a Lorentzian energy dependence in the integral cross section. The observables are consistent with a narrow resonance with m = 2.37 GeV, Gamma approximate to 70 MeV and I(J(P)) = 0(3(+)) in both pn and Delta Delta systems. Necessary further tests of the resonance interpretation are discussed.

Exclusive measurement of the eta -> pi(+) pi(-) gamma decay
- 2012
-
In: Physics Letters B. - : Elsevier BV. - 0370-2693 .- 1873-2445. ; 707:2, s. 243-249
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An exclusive measurement of the decay eta -> pi(+) pi(-) gamma has been performed at the WASA facility at COSY. The eta mesons were produced in the fusion reaction pd -> He-3 X at a proton beam momentum of 1.7 GeV/c. Efficiency corrected differential distributions have been extracted based on 13 960 +/- 140 events after background subtraction. The measured pion angular distribution is consistent with a relative p-wave of the two-pion system, whereas the measured photon energy spectrum was found at variance with the simplest gauge invariant matrix element of eta -> pi(+) pi(-) gamma. A parameterization of the data can be achieved by the additional inclusion of the empirical pion vector form factor multiplied by a first-order polynomial in the squared invariant mass of the pi(+) pi(-) system.

pi(0)pi(0) Production in proton-proton collisions at T-p=1.4 GeV The WASA-at-COSY Collaboration
- 2012
-
In: Physics Letters B. - : Elsevier BV. - 0370-2693 .- 1873-2445. ; 706:4-5, s. 256-262
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The reaction pp -> pp pi(0)pi(0) has been investigated at a beam energy of 1.4 GeV using the WASA-at-COSY facility. The total cross section is found to be (324 +/- 21(systematic) +/- 58(normalization)) mu b. In order to study the production mechanism, differential kinematic distributions have been evaluated. The differential distributions indicate that both initial state protons are excited into intermediate Delta(1232) resonances, each decaying into a proton and a single pion, thereby producing the pion pair in the final state. No significant contribution of the Roper resonance N*(1440) via its decay into a proton and two pions is found.
