Analogous Atomic and Electronic Properties between VN and VNCB Defects in Hexagonal Boron Nitride by Chang-Youn Moon, Kee-Suk Hong, Yong-Sung Kim

“…We investigate defect properties in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) which is attracting much attention as a single photon emitter. Using first-principles calculations, we find that nitrogen-vacancy defect VN has a lower energy structure in C1h symmetry in 1− charge state than the previously known D3h symmetry structure. …”

THE METHOD OF DETERMINATION OF ERROR IN THE REFERENCE VALUE OF THE DOSE DURING THE LINEAR ACCELERATOR RADIATION OUTPUT CALIBRATION PROCEDURE. Part 3. The dependence of the radiatio... by E. V. Titovich, I. G. Tarutin, M. G. Kiselev

“…It was found that the greatest impact on the value of the error has the error in the output factors determination (up to 5.26 % for both photon energy). Dose errors caused by changing dose rate during treatment were different for two photon energies, and reached 1.6 % for 6 MeV and 1.4 % for 18 MeV. …”

Polarized $$W^+W^-$$ W + W - pairs at the LHC: Effects from bottom-quark induced processes at NLO QCD + EW by Thi Nhung Dao, Duc Ninh Le

“…Results for phenomenological and experimental analyses are given at next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD + EW accuracy, with the leading contribution from the gluon–gluon and photon–photon fusion included. We found that the contribution of the bottom-quark induced processes, after the subtraction of the on-shell tW channel, is largest for the doubly longitudinal polarization. …”

Phase-dependent Hanbury-Brown and Twiss effect for the complete measurement of the complex coherence function by Xuan Tang, Yunxiao Zhang, Xueshi Guo, Liang Cui, Xiaoying Li, Z. Y. Ou

“…However, it is a phase insensitive two-photon interference effect. Here we extend the HBT interferometer by mixing intensity-matched reference fields with the input fields before intensity correlation measurement. …”

Polarization of thermal dilepton radiation by Florian Seck, Bengt Friman, Tetyana Galatyuk, Hendrik van Hees, Ralf Rapp, Enrico Speranza, Jochen Wambach

“…This allows, for the first time, independent tests of the longitudinal and transverse components of the virtual photon's selfenergy. While the low- and high-mass regions exhibit the expected limits of transverse and unpolarized photons, respectively, baryon-driven medium effects in the ρ-meson mass region create a marked longitudinal polarization that transits into a largely unpolarized emission from the quark-gluon plasma, thus providing a sensitive test of microscopic emission processes in QCD matter. …”

Progress on Waveguide-Integrated Graphene Optoelectronics by Jiaqi Wang, Zhenzhou Cheng, Xuejin Li

“…In such coplanar configurations, the propagating light in the waveguide can significantly interact with the graphene layer integrated on the surface of the waveguide. The combination of photonic integrated circuits and graphene also enables the development of graphene devices by using silicon photonic technology, which greatly extends the scope of graphene’s application. …”

Beam Purity for Light Dark Matter Search in Beam Dump Experiments by D. Banerjee, P. Crivelli, A. Rubbia

“…As a case study we cite the P348 experiment which has test beam time in Fall 2015 at the SPS H4 beam line at CERN and aims to search for the U′(1) gauge boson, A′, which as per one model of dark matter mediates a weak interaction between ordinary matter and dark matter via mixing of these “dark photons” with ordinary photon. The experiment aims to probe the still unexplored area of mixing strength 10-5≤ϵ≤10-3 and masses MA′≤100 MeV by using 10–300 GeV electron beam from the CERN SPS. …”
