Probing Alloy Formation Using Different Excitonic Species: The Particular Case of InGaN

Nicolas Grandjean, Raphaël Butté, Gordon Jens Callsen

Since the early 1960s, alloys are commonly grouped into two classes that feature either bound states in the band gap (I) or additional, nondiscrete band states (II). Consequently, one can observe either excitons bound to isoelectronic impurities or the typ ...

Growing a 'cosmic beast': observations and simulations of MACS J0717.5+3745

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Richard Harvey, Mathilde Jauzac, Matthieu Schaller, Richard Massey

We present a gravitational lensing and X-ray analysis of a massive galaxy cluster and its surroundings. The core of MACS J0717.5+3745 (M(R < 1Mpc) similar to 2 x 10(15) M-circle dot, z = 0.54) is already known to contain four merging components. We show th ...

The Gaia-ESO Survey: properties of newly discovered Li-rich giants

Carmela Lardo

Aims. We report 20 new lithium-rich giants discovered within the Gaia-ESO Survey, including the first Li-rich giant with an evolutionary stage confirmed by CoRoT (Convection, Rotation and planetary Transits) data. We present a detailed overview of the prop ...

Experiment and Machine Protection from Fast Losses caused by Crab Cavities in the High Luminosity LHC

Andrea Santamaría García

The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade aims for a tenfold increase in integrated luminosity compared to the nominal Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and for operation at a leveled luminosity five times higher than the nominal LHC peak lumin ...

Auger-induced charge migration

Christoph Bostedt

Novel perspectives of controlling molecular systems have recently arisen from the possibility of generating attosecond pulses in the ultraviolet regime and tailoring electron dynamics in its natural time scale. The cornerstone mechanism is the so-called ch ...

Searching for decaying dark matter in deep XMM-Newton observation of the Draco dwarf spheroidal

Alexey Boyarsky, Andrii Neronov, Oleg Ruchayskiy

We present results of a search for the 3.5 keV emission line in our recent very long (similar to 1.4 Ms) XMM-Newton observation of the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The astrophysical X-ray emission from such dark matter-dominated galaxies is faint, thus t ...

Detecting Vortex Burst on a Rotating Low-Aspect Ratio Plate

Karen Ann J Mulleners

This work experimentally examines the phenomenon of leading-edge vortex (LEV) burst in a low aspect ratio rotating plate. Through stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) about chrodwise planes, the evolutionary track of the vortex is detailed from i ...

Instrument intercomparison in the pulsed neutron fieldsat the CERN HiRadMat facility

Nikolaos Charitonidis, Daniel Perrin

An intercomparison of the performances of active neutron detectors was carried out in pulsed neutron fields in the new HiRadMat facility at CERN. Five detectors were employed: four of them (two ionization chambers and two rem counters) are routinely employ ...

The Smith Cloud and its dark matter halo: survival of a Galactic disc passage

Matthew Luke Nichols

Under conservative assumptions about the Galaxy, the derived velocity of the Smith Cloud indicates that it will have undergone at least one passage of the Galactic disc. Using hydrodynamic simulations, we examine the present-day structure of the Smith Clou ...
