Monte Carlo Calculation of Fragment Distributions in Nuclear Reactions by A. Deppman, E. Andrade-II, P. C. R. Rossi, F. Garcia, J. R. Maiorino

“…To obtain those distributions, the Monte Carlo (MC) method is an important tool, and in this work we describe calculations of fragment distributions through a MC code for reactions initiated by intermediate- and high-energy protons and photons on actinide and preactinide nuclei. We study the production of fragments through spallation and fission reactions. …”

A brand new strategy of quantum relay strategy based on entanglement swapping by Min XU, Min NIE, Guang YANG, Changxing PEI

“…Quantum protocols based on entanglement are known as information security，reliability，flexibility and a broad prospect in use.Meanwhile，the fidelity of photons is also required.A new quantum relay strategy was proposed.By setting multi-relays between distant correspondents and under the assistance of classical communications，the strategy can execute entanglement swapping and entanglement purification to provide the correspondents with remote entanglement connection of stable fidelity.Performance analysis shows that by reasonable control of relay series，improvement of entanglement swapping and entanglement purification，the time delay and throughput can be significantly improved，necessary entanglement resources can be provided for the global quantum communication.…”

The Existence and Effect of Dark Energy Redshift on Cosmological Age by Riccardo C. Storti

“…However, this flaw is captured and corrected by the Polarizable-Vacuum (PV) Model of Gravity developed by Puthoff, suggesting that the Dark Energy Field exists as a massive photonic field. Consequently, it is demonstrated that for a Dark Energy Driven description of Accelerated Cosmological Expansion, Cosmological Redshift takes a negative value in the Present Epoch.…”
