Application of the PSI-NUSS Tool for the Estimation of Nuclear Data Related k(eff) Uncertainties for the OECD/NEA WPNCS UACSA Phase I Benchmark

Andreas Pautz, Hakim Ferroukhi, Tiankai Zhu, Alexander Vasiliev

At the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), a methodology titled PSI-NUSS is under development for the propagation of nuclear data uncertainties into Criticality Safety Evaluation (CSE) with the Monte Carlo code MCNPX. The primary purpose is to provide a complem ...

Search for Bottomonium States in Exclusive Radiative gamma(2S) Decays

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Dipanwita Dutta, Xiao Wang, Jing Li

We search for bottomonium states in gamma(2S) -> (b (b) over bar)gamma decays with an integrated luminosity of 24.7 fb(-1) recorded at the gamma(2S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEK, containing (157.8 +/- 3.6) x 10(6) gamma(2S) events. The (b (b) o ...

A compact and low loss Y-junction for submicron silicon waveguide

Yi Zhang, Christophe Marcel Georges Galland

We designed a compact, low-loss and wavelength insensitive Y-junction for submicron silicon waveguide using finite difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation and particle swarm optimization (PSO), and fabricated the device in a 248 nm complementary metal-oxi ...

Room-temperature polariton lasing in semiconductor microcavities

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Eric Feltin, Gabriel Christmann

We observe a room-temperature low-threshold transition to a coherent polariton state in bulk GaN microcavities in the strong-coupling regime. Nonresonant pulsed optical pumping produces rapid thermalization and yields a clear emission threshold of 1 mW, co ...

Checkerboard order in the – model on the square lattice

Frédéric Mila, Cédric Weber, Michael Sigrist

We propose that the inhomogeneous patterns seen by STM in some underdoped superconducting cuprates could be related to a bond-order-wave instability of the staggered flux state, one of the most studied “normal” state proposed to compete with the d-wave RVB ...

Dynamics of the quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice: Soft modes and local resonating valence-bond correlations

Frédéric Mila, Dmitri Ivanov

We report on an exhaustive investigation of the dynamical dimer-dimer correlations in imaginary time for the quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice using the Green’s function Monte Carlo method. We show in particular that soft modes develop upon red ...
