    Identifying Redox Orbitals and Defects in Lithium-Ion Cathodes with Compton Scattering and Positron Annihilation Spectroscopies: A Review

    No full text
    Reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions that transfer conduction electrons from the anode to the cathode are the fundamental processes responsible for generating power in Li-ion batteries. Electronic and microstructural features of the cathode material are controlled by the nature of the redox orbitals and how they respond to Li intercalation. Thus, redox orbitals play a key role in performance of the battery and its degradation with cycling. We unravel spectroscopic descriptors that can be used to gain an atomic-scale handle on the redox mechanisms underlying Li-ion batteries. Our focus is on X-ray Compton Scattering and Positron Annihilation spectroscopies and the related computational approaches for the purpose of identifying orbitals involved in electrochemical transformations in the cathode. This review provides insight into the workings of lithium-ion batteries and opens a pathway for rational design of next-generation battery materials

    Measurements of the Total and Differential Higgs Boson Production Cross Sections Combining the H→γγ and H→ZZ∗→4ℓ Decay Channels at s√=8 TeV with the ATLAS Detector

    6 pages plus author list + cover page + supplemental material (26 pages total), 7 figures, 23 tables, submitted to Physical Review Letters. All figures including auxiliary figures are available at this http URL - See paper for full list of authorsInternational audienceMeasurements of the total and differential cross sections of Higgs boson production are performed using 20.3 fb−1 of pp collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of s√=8 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Cross sections are obtained from measured H→γγ and H→ZZ∗→4ℓ event yields, which are combined accounting for detector efficiencies, fiducial acceptances and branching fractions. Differential cross sections are reported as a function of Higgs boson transverse momentum, Higgs boson rapidity, number of jets in the event, and transverse momentum of the leading jet. The total production cross section is determined to be σpp→H=33.0±5.3(stat)±1.6(sys)pb. The measurements are compared to state-of-the-art predictions

    Search for Higgs bosons decaying to aaaa in the μμττ\mu\mu\tau\tau final state in pppp collisions at s=\sqrt{s} = 8 TeV with the ATLAS experiment

    See paper for full list of authors – 11 pages plus author list + cover pages (24 pages total), 6 figures, 4 tables, submitted to Phys. Rev. D, All figures including auxillary figures are available at http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/HIGG-2014-02/International audienceA search for the decay to a pair of new particles of either the 125 GeV Higgs boson (hh) or a second CP-even Higgs boson (HH) is presented. The dataset correspods to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb1^{-1} of pppp collisions at s=\sqrt{s}= 8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2012. The search was done in the context of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model, in which the new particles are the lightest neutral pseudoscalar Higgs bosons (aa). One of the two aa bosons is required to decay to two muons while the other is required to decay to two τ\tau-leptons. No significant excess is observed above the expected backgrounds in the dimuon invariant mass range from 3.7 GeV to 50 GeV. Upper limits are placed on the production of haah\rightarrow{aa} relative to the Standard Model gghgg\rightarrow{h} production, assuming no coupling of the aa boson to quarks. The most stringent limit is placed at 3.5\% for ma=m_a = 3.75 GeV. Upper limits are also placed on the production cross section of HaaH\rightarrow{aa} from 2.33 pb to 0.72 pb, for fixed mam_a = 5 GeV with mHm_H ranging from 100 GeV to 500 GeV

    Direct observation of localization of the minority-spin-band electrons in magnetite below the Verwey temperature

    No full text
    Two-dimensional spin-uncompensated momentum density distributions, ?s2D(p)s, were reconstructed in magnetite at 12 and 300 K from several measured directional magnetic Compton profiles. Mechanical detwinning was used to overcome severe twinning in the single-crystal sample below the Verwey transition. The reconstructed ?s2D(p) in the first Brillouin zone changes from being negative at 300 K to positive at 12 K. This result provides the first clear evidence that electrons with low momenta in the minority-spin bands in magnetite are localized below the Verwey transition temperature.Radiation, Radionuclides and ReactorsApplied Science

    Search for a Charged Higgs Boson Produced in the Vector-boson Fusion Mode with Decay H±W±ZH^\pm \to W^\pm Z using pppp Collisions at s=8\sqrt{s}=8 TeV with the ATLAS Experiment

    See paper for full list of authors - 8 pages plus author list + cover pages (27 pages total), 3 figures, 9 tables, submitted to PRL, All figures including auxiliary figures are available at http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/HIGG-2014-13International audienceA search for a charged Higgs boson, H±H^\pm, decaying to a W±W^\pm boson and a ZZ boson is presented. The search is based on 20.3 fb1^{-1} of proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The H±H^\pm boson is assumed to be produced via vector-boson fusion and the decays W±qqˉW^\pm \to q\bar{q^\prime} and Ze+e/μ+μZ\rightarrow e^+e^-/\mu^+\mu^- are considered. The search is performed in a range of charged Higgs boson masses from 200 to 1000 GeV. No evidence for the production of an H±H^\pm boson is observed. Upper limits of 31-1020 fb at 95% CL are placed on the cross section for vector-boson fusion production of an H±H^\pm boson times its branching fraction to W±ZW^\pm Z. The limits are compared with predictions from the Georgi-Machacek Higgs Triplet Model

    Overview of results on diffraction from the ATLAS Experiment

    The measurements of the total inelastic cross section and the differential inelastic cross section as a function of rapidity gap are presented as well as selected results for the measurement of the pseudorapidity dependence of the total transverse energy. The data used for these studies were collected in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010
