Unzhakov St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute”, Gatchina, Russia The specifications of a newly developed beta-spectrometer, based on full absorption Si(Li) detector and thin transmission detector, are shown. The spectrometer allows to separate effectively beta-radiation and accompanying X-rays and gamma radiation using registration of coincident events from both detectors. The spectrometer can be used for precision measurements of various beta-spectra, namely for the beta-spectrum shape study of 144Pr ^{144}\rm{Pr} , which is considered to be an advantageous anti-neutrino source for sterile neutrino searches. The preliminary results for beta spectra from 144Ce−144Pr ^{144}\rm{Ce}-^{144}\rm{Pr} decays and reconstructed antineutrino spectra are presented

Yakimenko A search for resonant absorption of the solar axions with a wide continuous spectra by 83Kr^{83}\rm{Kr} nuclei is continued with the krypton proportional counter at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory. Such an absorption should lead to the excitation of low-lying nuclear energy level of 83Kr^{83}\rm{Kr}. The results obtained after 613 days of measurements allow to constraint on the axion–photon coupling and axion mass gAγ×mA6.26×1017|g_{A\gamma}\times m_A| \leq 6.26\times 10^{-17} for Primakoff solar axions. This bound corresponds to the upper limit on KSVZ axion mass mA12.7m_{A}\leq12.7 eV. For solar axions produced by Compton and bremsstrahlung like processes the limit on axion-electron coupling and KSVZ axion mass are gAe×mA1.38×109|g_{Ae}\times m_A| \leq 1.38\times 10^{-9}~eV and mA86m_A \leq 86 eV, correspondingly (all at 95\% C.L.)

    The Author of the Alexander Romance

    No full text
    This paper, which is based on a portion of the introduction of the author’s edition of Il Romanzo di Alessandro (Mondadori: Fondazione Valla 2007), surveys the generic components of the Alexander Romance in an attempt to arrive at a definition of the work. The argument builds on Merkelbach’s categorisation of elements and uses Fusillo’s insight into the novel as an ‘encyclopaedic genre’ to propose that ‘historical novel’ is not, as Hägg contended, a misnomer for the work. The main components I discuss are: ‘life’; praxeis; chreiai; Cynic elements, including choliambic poetry and utopian perspectives; and the Egyptian aspects of the narrative. A concluding jeu d’esprit offers a characterisation of the putative author, his antecedents and his process of composition.Richard Stoneman was for 25 years editor for classics at Croom Helm and then Routledge. In 1997 he was appointed an Honorary Fellow in the department of classics, University of Exeter. After retiring from publishing in 2006 he has been pursuing his researches on the Alexander legends and teaching a course on the subject at Exeter. His Penguin translation of the Alexander Romance was published in 1991, and a volume of translated Legends of Alexander the Great appeared from Everyman in 1994. Also in 1994 he co-edited Greek Fiction with John Morgan. His edition of the Greek recensions of the Alexander Romance was published (volume I) by the Fondazione Valla in 2007 – volumes II and III will follow over the next few years – and his Alexander the Great: A Life in Legend appeared from Yale University Press in spring 2008. He is the author of a number of other books on Greek history and travel, and is writing a book on oracles
