Due to the comparatively higher fluxes of charged cosmic rays with respect to γ-rays,it is challenging to identify γ-rays with sufficiently high efficiency,minimizing the amount of charged cosmic ray contamination. In this work we present a method to identify γ-rays in DAMPE data based on Monte Carlo simulations,using the powerful electromagnetic/hadronic shower discrimination provided by the calorimeter and the veto detection of charged particles provided by the plastic scintillation detector. Monte Carlo simulations show that after this selection the number of electrons and protons that contaminate the selected γ-ray events at～10 Ge V amounts to less than 1% of the selected sample.Finally,we use flight data to verify the effectiveness of the method by highlighting known γ-ray sources in the sky and by reconstructing preliminary light curves of the Geminga pulsar.展开更多

We explore the connection between mass and the limiting velocity in the framework of general relativity (GR) using the Weyl metric for axially-symmetric galaxies that are supported entirely by their rotational motion. While for small distances from the center, the Newtonian description is accurate as one moves beyond the (baryonic) edge of the galaxy, Lenz’s law and non-linearity of the gravitational field inherent in GR not only lead to a flat velocity (obviating its Keplerian fall), but also provide its tight log-log relationship with the enclosed (baryonic) mass.展开更多

文摘The DArk Matter Particle Explorer（DAMPE）,also known as Wukong in China,which was launched on 2015 December 17,is a new high energy cosmic ray and γ-ray satellite-borne observatory.One of the main scientific goals of DAMPE is to observe Ge V-Te V high energy γ-rays with accurate energy,angular and time resolution,to indirectly search for dark matter particles and for the study of high energy astrophysics. Due to the comparatively higher fluxes of charged cosmic rays with respect to γ-rays,it is challenging to identify γ-rays with sufficiently high efficiency,minimizing the amount of charged cosmic ray contamination. In this work we present a method to identify γ-rays in DAMPE data based on Monte Carlo simulations,using the powerful electromagnetic/hadronic shower discrimination provided by the calorimeter and the veto detection of charged particles provided by the plastic scintillation detector. Monte Carlo simulations show that after this selection the number of electrons and protons that contaminate the selected γ-ray events at～10 Ge V amounts to less than 1% of the selected sample.Finally,we use flight data to verify the effectiveness of the method by highlighting known γ-ray sources in the sky and by reconstructing preliminary light curves of the Geminga pulsar.
文摘The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment is realized in two phases. A precursor flight (STS-91)with a reduced experimental configuration (AMS01) has successfully flown on space shuttle Discovery in June 1998.The final version (AMS02) will be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) as an independent module inearly 2006 for an operational period of three years. The main scientific objectives of AMS02 include the searches forthe antimatter and dark matter in cosmic rays. In this work we will discuss the experimental details as well as the im-proved physics capabilities of AMS02 on ISS.
文摘The flat limit of rotational velocity (v<sub>φ</sub>) approximately equal to the “edge”-velocity of a galaxy is related to the baryonic mass (M<sub>B</sub>) via the T-F relationship with n ≈ 4. We explore the connection between mass and the limiting velocity in the framework of general relativity (GR) using the Weyl metric for axially-symmetric galaxies that are supported entirely by their rotational motion. While for small distances from the center, the Newtonian description is accurate as one moves beyond the (baryonic) edge of the galaxy, Lenz’s law and non-linearity of the gravitational field inherent in GR not only lead to a flat velocity (obviating its Keplerian fall), but also provide its tight log-log relationship with the enclosed (baryonic) mass.

文摘Entanglement and quantum correlations between atoms are not usually considered key ingredients of the superradiant phase transition.Here we consider the Tavis–Cummings model,a solvable system of two-levels atoms,coupled with a single-mode quantized electromagnetic field.This system undergoes a superradiant phase transition,even in a finite-size framework,accompanied by a spontaneous symmetry breaking,and an infinite sequence of energy level crossings.We find approximated expressions for the ground state,its energy,and the position of the level crossings,valid in the limit of a very large number of photons with respect to that of the atoms.In that same limit,we find that the number of photons scales quadratically with the coupling strength,and linearly with the system size,providing a new insight into the superradiance phenomenon.Resorting to novel multipartite measures,we then demonstrate that this quantum phase transition is accompanied by a crossover in the quantum correlations and entanglement between the atoms(qubits).The latters therefore represent suited order parameters for this transition.Finally,we show that these properties of the quantum phase transition persist in the thermodynamic limit.
文摘In the present paper we address the general problem of selective electrodynamic interactions between DNA and protein,which is motivated by decades of theoretical study and our very recent experimental findings providing a first evidence for their activation.Inspired by the Davydov and Holstein-Fröhlich models describing electron motion along biomolecules,and using a model Hamiltonian written in second quantization,the timedependent variational principle is used to derive the dynamical equations of the system.We demonstrate the efficacy of this second-quantized model for a well-documented biochemical system consisting of a restriction enzyme,EcoRI,which binds selectively to a palindromic six-base-pair target within a DNA oligonucleotide sequence to catalyze a DNA doublestrand cleavage.The time-domain Fourier spectra of the electron currents numerically computed for the DNA fragment and for the EcoRI enzyme,respectively,exhibit a cross-correlation spectrum with a sharp co-resonance peak.When the target DNA recognition sequence is randomized,this sharp co-resonance peak is replaced with a broad and noisy spectrum.Such a sequence-dependent charge transfer phenomenology is suggestive of a potentially rich variety of selective electrodynamic interactions influencing the coordinated activity of DNA substrates,enzymes,transcription factors,ligands,and other proteins under realistic biochemical conditions characterized by electron-phonon excitations.

文摘This paper presents an energy resolution study of the JUNO experiment,incorporating the latest knowledge acquired during the detector construction phase.The determination of neutrino mass ordering in JUNO requires an exceptional energy resolution better than 3% at 1 MeV.To achieve this ambitious goal,significant efforts have been undertaken in the design and production of the key components of the JUNO detector.Various factors affecting the detection of inverse beta decay signals have an impact on the energy resolution,extending beyond the statistical fluctuations of the detected number of photons,such as the properties of the liquid scintillator,performance of photomultiplier tubes,and the energy reconstruction algorithm.To account for these effects,a full JUNO simulation and reconstruction approach is employed.This enables the modeling of all relevant effects and the evaluation of associated inputs to accurately estimate the energy resolution.The results of this study reveal an energy resolution of 2.95% at 1 Mev.Furthermore,this study assesses the contribution of major effects to the overall energy resolution budget.This analysis serves as a reference for interpreting future measurements of energy resolution during JUNO data collection.Moreover,it provides a guideline for comprehending the energy resolution characteristics of liquid scintillator-based detectors.

文摘Using 20.3 fb^(-1)of e^(+)e^(-)annihilation data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESⅢdetector,we report on an improved search for the radiative leptonic decay D^(+)→γe^(+)ve.An upper limit on its partial branching fraction for photon energies E_(γ)>10 MeV was determined to be 1.2×10^(-5)at a 90%confidence level;this excludes most current theoretical predictions.A sophisticated deep learning approach,which includes thorough validation and is based on the Transformer architecture,was implemented to efficiently distinguish the signal from massive backgrounds.
文摘BESⅢ data show a particular angular distribution for the decay of J/Ψ and Ψ(2 S) mesons into ■ and Σ~0Σ~0 hyperons: the angular distribution of the decay Ψ(2 S) →Σ~0Σ~0 exhibits an opposite trend with respect to the other three channels: J/Ψ→■, J/Ψ→Σ~0Σ~0 and Ψ(2 S) →■. We define a model to explain the origin of this phenomenon.

文摘We show that the manifold of quantum states is endowed with a rich and nontrivial geometric structure.We derive the Fubini−Study metric of the projective Hilbert space of a multi-qubit quantum system,endowing it with a Riemannian metric structure,and investigate its deep link with the entanglement of the states of this space.As a measure,we adopt the entanglement distance E preliminary proposed in Phys.Rev.A 101,042129(2020).Our analysis shows that entanglement has a geometric interpretation:E(|ψ>)is the minimum value of the sum of the squared distances between|ψ>and its conjugate states,namely the statesυ^(μ).σ^(μ)|ψ>,whereυ^(μ)are unit vectors andμruns on the number of parties.Within the proposed geometric approach,we derive a general method to determine when two states are not the same state up to the action of local unitary operators.Furthermore,we prove that the entanglement distance,along with its convex roof expansion to mixed states,fulfils the three conditions required for an entanglement measure,that is:i)E(|ψ>)=0 iff|ψ>is fully separable;ii)E is invariant under local unitary transformations;iii)E does not increase under local operation and classical communications.Two different proofs are provided for this latter property.We also show that in the case of two qubits pure states,the entanglement distance for a state|ψ>coincides with two times the square of the concurrence of this state.We propose a generalization of the entanglement distance to continuous variable systems.Finally,we apply the proposed geometric approach to the study of the entanglement magnitude and the equivalence classes properties,of three families of states linked to the Greenberger−Horne−Zeilinger states,the Briegel Raussendorf states and the W states.As an example of application for the case of a system with continuous variables,we have considered a system of two coupled Glauber coherent states.

文摘The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory(JUNO)is a multi-purpose neutrino experiment under construction in South China.This paper presents an updated estimate of JUNO’s sensitivity to neutrino mass ordering using the reactor antineutrinos emitted from eight nuclear reactor cores in the Taishan and Yangjiang nuclear power plants.This measurement is planned by studying the fine interference pattern caused by quasi-vacuum oscillations in the oscillated antineutrino spectrum at a baseline of 52.5 km and is completely independent of the CP violating phase and neutrino mixing angleθ_(23).The sensitivity is obtained through a joint analysis of JUNO and Taishan Antineutrino Observatory(TAO)detectors utilizing the best available knowledge to date about the location and overburden of the JUNO experimental site,local and global nuclear reactors,JUNO and TAO detector responses,expected event rates and spectra of signals and backgrounds,and systematic uncertainties of analysis inputs.We find that a 3σmedian sensitivity to reject the wrong mass ordering hypothesis can be reached with an exposure of about 6.5 years×26.6 GW thermal power.

文摘By analyzing ψ(3686) data sample containing (107.7±0.6)×10^(6) events taken with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring in 2009,the χ_(c 0) resonance parameters are precisely measured using χ_(c 0,c 2)→π^(+)π^(−)/K^(+)K^(−) events.The mass of χ_(c 0) is determined to be M (χ_(c 0))=(3415.63±0.07±0.07±0.07)MeV/c^(2),and its full width is F (χ_(c 0))=(12.52±0.12±0.13)MeV,where the first uncertainty is statistical,the second systematic,and the third for mass comes from χ_(c 2) mass uncertainty.These measurements improve the precision of χ_(c 0) mass by a factor of four and width by one order of magnitude over the previous individual measurements,and significantly boost our knowledge about the charmonium spectrum.Together with additional (345.4±2.6)×10^(6)(3686) data events taken in 2012,the decay branching fractions of χ_(c 0,c 2)→π^(+)π^(−)/K^(+)K^(−) are measured as well,with precision improved by a factor of three compared to previous measurements.These χ_(c 0) decay branching fractions provide important inputs for the study of glueballs.
