Despite that it is widely used as a scintillator at room temperature, the hygroscopicity of NaI complicates its handling and limits application for many purposes, example cryogenic detector. To overcome this problem we study coating materials can act humidity barriers, in particular parylene, polymer be deposited very radiopure, thin conformal layers. In work, several NaI(Tl) samples coated with 2-5 µm parylene-C were tested low temperature. Luminescence spectra under X-ray excitation are...
Abstract We propose to locate transponders and atomic clocks in at least three of the Lagrange points Sun-Earth pair, with aim exploiting time flight asymmetry between electromagnetic signals travelling opposite directions along polygonal loops having their vertices.

The expulsion of flux in five type-I materials a slow, continuously decreasing, perpendicular magnetic field provides evidence for the possible existence barrier superconductive transition. variation observed critical fields with temperature yields Ginzburg-Landau parameter determinations which suggests their behavior to be more strongly type I than generally considered.
We examine quantum corrections of time delay arising in the gravitational field a spinning oblate source. Low-energy effects occurring Kerr geometry are derived within framework where general relativity is fully seen as an effective theory. By employing such pattern, radiative modifications metric from energy-momentum tensor source, which at lowest order fields modelled point mass. Therefore, to describe corrected version case source body has finite extension, we introduce hybrid scheme...

Constraints on its existence are obtained from experiment, which used assess impact topological defect creation. find no fundamental changes in either Kibble-Zurek or Hindmarsh-Rajantie predictions.
Abstract Linear thrust generation by a single pin emitter electrode under AC excitation has been studied. Presented are measurements of thruster, in comparison with classical, two electrohydrodynamic thruster. The experiments show comparable for both configurations at low voltage levels, suggesting higher thrust-to-weight ratio thrusters applied voltages. Further, hypothesis creation is proposed.
We examine the radioactive decay of iodine in terms its Kolmogorov entropy, observing a consistency with presence regime deterministic chaos vacuum dynamics.
The geometry of the intermediate state (IS) flux structures type-I superconductors, observed during early stages magnetic penetration induced by an externally applied perpendicular field, is approached in terms minimal surfaces. This approach follows from assumption that a local free energy minimization constraint, for each individual structure, dominates sufficiently spatially separated regions, i.e. when over global predicts very low periodicity sample state.
Starting from an analogy between the Planck-Einstein scale and dual length scales in Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity, assuming that space-time is a condensate neutral fermionic particles with Planck mass, we derive baryonic mass universe. In theoretical framework matter appears to be associated condensation energy gained by spacetime transition its normal (symetric) (less symetric) superconducting-like phase. It shown however critical temperature cannot temperature. Thus leaving...
