Cosmic rays are particles (mostly protons) accelerated to relativistic speeds. Despite wide agreement that supernova remnants (SNRs) the sources of galactic cosmic rays, unequivocal evidence for acceleration protons in these objects is still lacking. When encounter interstellar material, they produce neutral pions, which turn decay into gamma rays. This offers a compelling way detect sites protons. The identification pion-decay has been difficult because high-energy electrons also via...
Precise measurements of the spin structure functions proton ${g}_{1}^{p}(x,{Q}^{2})$ and deuteron ${g}_{1}^{d}(x,{Q}^{2})$ are presented over kinematic range $0.0041\ensuremath{\le}x\ensuremath{\le}0.9$ $0.18\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{GeV}}^{2}\ensuremath{\le}{Q}^{2}\ensuremath{\le}20\text{ }{\mathrm{GeV}}^{2}$.

We present detailed observations of the bright short-hard gamma-ray burst GRB 090510 made with Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board Fermi observatory. is first detected by LAT that shows strong evidence for a deviation from Band spectral fitting function during prompt emission phase. The time-integrated spectrum fit sum $\Epeak = 3.9\pm 0.3$\,MeV, which highest yet measured, hard power-law component photon index $-1.62\pm 0.03$ dominates below...
Azimuthal single-spin asymmetries of lepto-produced pions and charged kaons were measured on a transversely polarized hydrogen target. Evidence for naive-T-odd, transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution function is deduced from non-vanishing Sivers effects pi+, pi0, K+, K-, as well in the difference pi+ pi- cross sections.
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are a theoretical class of that excellent dark matter candidates. WIMP annihilation or decay may produce essentially monochromatic γ rays detectable by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) against astrophysical γ-ray emission Galaxy. We have searched for spectral lines in energy range 5–300 GeV using 3.7 years data, reprocessed with updated instrument calibrations and an improved dispersion model compared to previous Fermi-LAT Collaboration line...
Single-spin asymmetries for pions and charged kaons are measured in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of positrons electrons off a transversely nuclear-polarized hydrogen target. The dependence the cross section on azimuthal angles target polarization (phi_S)and produced hadron (phi) is found to have substantial sin(phi+phi_S) modulation production pi+, pi- K+. This Fourier component can be interpreted terms non-zero transversity distribution functions favored disfavored Collins...

The first measurement of transverse-spin-dependent azimuthal asymmetries in the pion-induced Drell-Yan (DY) process is reported. We use CERN SPS 190 GeV/c π^{-} beam and a transversely polarized ammonia target. Three giving access to different transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions (PDFs) are extracted using dimuon events with invariant mass between 4.3 GeV/c^{2} 8.5 GeV/c^{2}. Within experimental uncertainties, observed sign Sivers asymmetry found be consistent...
The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO) is a probe class mission concept that will provide essential contributions to multimessenger astrophysics in the late 2020s and beyond. AMEGO combines high sensitivity 200 keV 10 GeV energy range with wide field of view, good spectral resolution, polarization sensitivity. Therefore, key study astrophysical objects have unique signatures gamma-ray regime, such as neutron star mergers, supernovae, flaring active galactic nuclei....

The momentum and helicity density distributions of the strange quark sea in nucleon are obtained leading order from charged-kaon production deep-inelastic scattering on deuteron. extracted spin-averaged K+/- multiplicities, inclusive double-spin asymmetries for polarized positrons by a deuterium target. shape distribution is softer than that average ubar dbar quarks. In region measurement 0.02 < x 0.6 Q^2 > 1.0 GeV^2, zero within experimental uncertainties.
The azimuthal cos{\phi} and cos2{\phi} modulations of the distribution hadrons produced in unpolarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering electrons positrons off hydrogen deuterium targets have been measured HERMES experiment. For first time these were determined a four-dimensional kinematic space for positively negatively charged pions kaons separately, as well unidentified hadrons. These dependences are sensitive to transverse motion polarization quarks within nucleon via, e.g.,...
Beam-helicity and beam-charge asymmetries in the hard exclusive leptoproduction of real photons from an unpolarised hydrogen target by a 27.6 GeV lepton beam are extracted HERMES data set 2006-2007 using missing-mass event selection technique. The asymmetry amplitudes this more precise than those earlier 1996-2005 previously analysed same manner HERMES. results two sets compatible with each other.

Superhydrophobicity has been demonstrated be correlated anti-icing properties of surfaces. However, fabricating surfaces with robust water repellence also at subzero temperature still great challenge.
