It indicates the hard process contribution alone will...

基于一整个太阳周期(11年)的AMS数据,我们测量了宇宙线反质子流强随时间的变化,时间粒度27天,刚度范围1-41.9GV。
测量结果显示,宇宙线反质子流强具有独特的性质:反质子流强随着刚度增加先升后降,在大约3GV达到最大,而质子、电子、正电子的流强则是一直下降。反质子流强随时间变化的幅度明显比其他粒子要小。反质子和质子流强之间具有变化迟滞关系,而反质子与电子流强之间是线性关系。值得注意的是,在一个11年的太阳周期内,流强随时间变化幅度与流强的能谱形状有明显的相关性。
对于理解宇宙线反质子起源,以及理解太阳调制及其与粒子质量、电荷及能谱形状的关系,AMS的流强随时间的测量结果提供了至关重要的信息。

Sub-MeV暗物质粒子被诸多理论模型选为暗物质的候选者,但受限于直接探测实验的阈值,使得热平衡态(速度~$10^{-3}c$)的本地sub-MeV暗物质粒子流难以在实验中被观测到。然而暗物质粒子可能会被高能的宇宙线粒子碰撞而获得更高的能量。此前,我们利用暗物质粒子与核子的散射机制,通过PandaX-II实验数据搜寻宇宙线加速Sub-GeV暗物质。考虑暗物质和电子的相互作用同样重要,我们利用PandaX-4T试运行实验数据寻找宇宙线电子加速轻质量暗物质,最终将质量范围在现有实验结果基础上向下扩展了两个数量级以上,并对尚未被探测的参数空间,即暗物质质量小于3 keV且低至10 eV的区间设定了新的约束,达到地球附近暗物质密度允许的最小费米子暗物质质量。
宇宙线的到达方向呈现微弱的各向异性分布,强度在万分之几到百分之几的量级。随着能量的增加,宇宙线的大尺度各向异性强度和分布形态呈现明显的变化。宇宙线各向异性的起因尚未明确,可能与宇宙线的传播、源的分布以及局部磁场扰动等有关。测量宇宙线的各向异性,特别是对高能宇宙线以及宇宙线成分的测量,对宇宙线的传播等理论提供重要依据。LHAASO海拔4410米,覆盖面积超过一平方公里,采用多种探测手段,具有很宽的能量测量范围和良好的粒子鉴别能力。LHAASO能够实现对高能宇宙线(PeV能量级)各向异性的精确测量,解决现有实验在高能区域测量精度有限的问题。能够实现对宇宙线轻、重成分的测量,填补目前对宇宙线成分各向异性实验观测的空白。
按SU(5)大统一模型[1]、[2],对称性破缺方式是SU(5)→SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)→U(1)。在强子内部有近似的SU(3)×U(1)定域对称性,强子作为非拓扑孤粒子存在;在强子中的夸克与胶子具有近似已知夸克与胶子的性质;在强子外部,夸克具有整数电荷,只有U(1)定域对称性。强子内部夸克与胶子的质量远小于强子外部夸克与胶子的质量,自由夸克与胶子能够存在,但将很快衰变为强子和轻子;轻子进入强子中的质量显著大于轻子在强子外部时的质量,因此轻子不能存在于强子内部。按本模型,没有夸克禁闭问题,自然地解释了宇宙中正反重子不对称现象,μ子磁矩反常(比标准模型预言的更大),Xe原子的电子受到的反常作用,B介子的反常衰变。最近超出标准模型的一个新实验是

初级宇宙射线进入大气会与大气分子相互作用产生介子。次级介子在传播过程中有相互竞争的两个过程,衰变为缪子和进一步发生相互作用。大气温度的降低引起的大气分子数密度的减少使得介子和大气分子相互作用的机会减少。有更多的介子衰变而来的缪子产生。因此,地下缪子通量和实验室上方的大气温度有正向的关联,这已被许多实验所观测到。大亚湾实验用两年统计量的数据测量了有效温度和缪子事例率的关联系数。随着大亚湾实验更多数据的获取,期待得到具有更低的统计误差的关联系数。伴随着得到更高水平统计量的数据,有效温度和缪子事例率之间非线性的关联关系被观察到。这一报告将报道大亚湾实验对这一测量的当前的状态。

测量宇宙线原子核能谱随时间的变化是研究太阳活动的关键手段。安装在国际空间站上的阿尔法磁谱仪(AMS)是一个大接受度,长周期观测(预计将覆盖两个太阳活动11年周期)的空间磁谱仪实验设备,能够以前所未有的精度对GeV至TeV能量区间内的宇宙线能谱进行测量。本报告将介绍基于AMS实验所测量的宇宙线锂、铍、硼、碳、氮、氧等原子核能谱在2011年5月至2023年11月期间(完整覆盖一个太阳活动周期)随时间的变化,同时讨论不同电荷的宇宙线受到太阳调制效应的差异。
正在我国进行建设的超级陶粲装置(STCF)中需要实现一种全新的、具有较好时间测量能力的电磁量能器(ECAL),以满足背景噪声抑制、中子-γ甄别等物理需求。对时间测量电子学的需求包括:不低于100-ps的分辨率、2-μs以上的动态范围以及可多通道集成。因此,我们提出了一种3级量化结构的时间数字转换器(TDC),其中粗量化由可达到较大动态范围的计数器实现;细量化则是基于一种改进的游标延迟环,利用两种延迟锁相环实现了亚门级延迟的高分辨率。所提出的游标延迟环采用了自动复位机制来实现连续事件的测量,还可利用滑动尺度测量原理显著提高其测量线性度。采用180-nm标准CMOS工艺实现了该TDC原型芯片,共集成了8个测量通道,在100-MHz参考时钟频率下可实现41.7-ps的分辨率和2.56-μs的动态范围。测试结果显示,该TDC的单射精度可达到46.0-ps,DNL不超过0.5-LSB,INL不...
在寻找无中微子双贝塔衰变($0\nu\beta\beta$)的实验中,大部分实验都在限定的RoI范围内使用计数法获取$0\nu\beta\beta$的半衰期灵敏度,也有诸如KamLAND-Zen等实验使用能谱拟合法来完成这一工作,而通过这两种方法获得的$0\nu\beta\beta$半衰期灵敏度存在差异。
本研究基于中国锦屏地下实验室(CJPL)内的本底条件,通过模拟确认了一差异的存在。模拟显示拟合法给出的半衰期灵敏度约为计数法的1.25倍,本研究讨论了这一差异可能的源头。这些结论可以为未来的$0\nu\beta\beta$实验选择数据分析方式提供选择依据。

氯化锂水基液闪在作为新型中微子探测器探测介质方面显现出巨大潜力。其中Li-7核素与MeV尺度的太阳中微子发生高截面的带电电流相互作用,为太阳中微子谱的测量提供了可能性。研究团队制备并提纯了一种饱和氯化锂水基液闪,其含盐量为45.3%w/w,并对其光学特性和光产额进行了测量。结果表明,在光电倍增管的敏感波长范围内,该液闪几乎没有吸收。在430 nm波长处的衰减长度可达50米。此外,研究还在氯化锂水基液闪中加入了一种闪烁剂carbostyril-124,并验证了其兼容性和提高光产额的效果,从而促进了切伦科夫增强型富锂探测器的开发。针对这类水基液闪,研究团队还开发了一套重建算法。该算法能够在MeV尺度上重建带电粒子的方向、位置和能量,其中对于4...

屏蔽结构设计是锦屏百吨中微子探测器设计过程中的重要一环,因为屏蔽结构设计能够使其在基坑空间限制下,增大有效探测体积,从而增加对物理信号——太阳中微子、无中微子双贝塔衰变——的曝光量。
在本报告中,我们估计本底的事例率和能谱,提出了一些屏蔽方案,用Geant4模拟评估它们的效用,并最终选择了其中一个。
在计算本底事例率时,我们分别考虑了直接放射性衰变本底和中子相关本底。放射性衰变本底由模拟计算;而中子相关本底又分为两类:U238自裂变附带中子和 (alpha, n) 过程产生的中子,它们被分别计算并累加。
