Limitations of the Pulse-Shape Technique for Particle Discrimination in Planar Si Detectors
Limitations of the pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) technique - a promising method to identify the charged particIes stopped in planar Si-detectors - have been investigated. The particle resolution turned out to be basically determined by resistivity fluctuations in the buk silicon which cause the charge-collection time to depend on the point of impact. Detector maps showing these fluctuations have been measured and are discussed. Furthermore we present a simple method to test the performance of detectors with respect to PSD. Another limitation of the PSD technique is the finite energy threshold for particle identification. This threshold is caused by an unexpected decrease of the total charge-collection time for ions with a short range, in spite of the fact that the particle tracks are located in a region of very low electric field
The Rossendorfer Beamline at the ESRF (Project ROBL)
In this final design report the general layout and the optics of the beamline ROBL is described. The beamline is buildt by the Research Center Rossendorf at the bending magnet source BM20 of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), Grenoble. The design criteria for the beamline optics and the adopted solutions are reported in detail. Some performance data of the beamline as resolution, focussing and intensity are modelled by the ray-tracing code SHADOW. Furthermore tha layout of the vacuum system is described

Interpretation and Quality of the Tilted Axis Cranking Approximation
Comparing with the exact solutions of the model system of one and two particles coupled to an axial rotor, the quality of the semi classical tilted axis cranking approximation is investigated. Extensive comparisons of the energies and M1 and E2 transition probabilities are carried out for the lowest bands. Very good agreement is found, except near band crossings. Various recipes to take into account finite K within the frame of the usual principal axis cranking are included into the comparison. A set of rules is suggested that permits to construct the excited bands from the cranking configurations, avoiding spurious states
Tilted Rotation of Triaxial Nuclei
The Tilted Axis Crankiug theory is applied to the model of two particles coupled to a triaxial rotor. Cornparirig with the exact quantal solutions, the interpretation and quality of the mean field approximations studied. Conditions are discussed when the axis of rotation lies inside or outside of the principal planes of the triaxial density distribution. The planar solutions represent ∆ I = 1 bands, whereas the aplanar solutions represent pairs of identical ∆ I = 1 bands with the same parity. The two bands differ by the chirality of the principal axes with respect to the angular momentum vector. The transition from planar to chiral solutions is evident in both the quantal and the mean field calculations. Its physical origin is discussed
Added Stiffness Relating to Small Motions of Two Concentric Cylinders Submitted to Axial Annular Incompressible Flow
Axial incompressible, viscous flow is considered in an annular gap between two rigid cylinders. If the cylinders are displaced from their concentric positions in a certain manner, the displacement will cause reaction forces exerted by the fluid pressure. In this investigation the pressure fluctuations caused by the displacement of the structures are approximated by analytical means. Pressure fluctuations in phase with acceleration and velocity of the structure are not calculated here. Stationary flow is considered, because structural displacements are assumed to be small
Effects of nuclear Coulomb field on two-meson correlations
The infiuence of the nuclear Coulombfield on two-pion and two-kaon correlations is investigated for sources with charge number of Z = 160. The source radii extracted from the correlation function determined in sidewards and outwards direction are remarkably affected for meson pairs with average momenta, below 200 MeV/c
