• Something New about Radial Wave Functions of Fermions in the Repulsive
Coulomb Field

Abstract: An impermeable barrier at $$r = {{r}_{{{\text{cl}}}}}$$ in the effective potential of the relativistic Schrödinger-type equation leads to exclusion of the range $$0 \leqslant r < {{r}_{{{\text{cl}}}}}$$ from the wave function domain. Based on the duality of the Schrödinger-type equation and the Dirac equation, a similar exclusion should be made in the wave function domain of the Dirac equation. As a result, we obtain new solutions to the Dirac equation in the Coulomb repulsion field. Calculations show that depending on working parameters, at distances of fractions or units of the Compton wavelength of the fermion from $$r = {{r}_{{{\text{cl}}}}}$$ new solutions almost coincide with the standard Coulomb functions of the continuous spectrum. Practically, matrix elements with new solutions will coincide to a good accuracy with standard matrix elements with the Coulomb functions of the continuous spectrum. Our consideration is methodological and helpful for discussing further development of quantum theory.

• Superoperator Approach to the Theory of Hot Nuclei and Astrophysical
Applications. III: Neutrino–Nucleus Reactions in Stars

Abstract: The influence of thermal effects on neutrino–nucleus reactions occurring under supernova conditions is studied. The approach used is based on the quasiparticle random phase approximation extended to finite temperatures using the superoperator formalism. Using the example of the 56Fe and 82Ge nuclei, a detailed analysis of the influence of thermal effects on the strength function of Gamow–Teller transitions, which dominate in the low-energy charge-neutral and charge-exchange reactions, is performed. Neutrino cross sections for inelastic scattering and capture by hot nuclei are calculated and compared with the results of the shell model calculations. The influence of thermal effects on the spectrum of scattered neutrinos and on the process of energy exchange between neutrino radiation and nuclei is considered. The energy-loss rates in the process of neutrino–antineutrino pair emission by deexcitation of hot nuclei are calculated.

• Magnetism in Ferromagnetic-Superconducting Layered Structures

Abstract: The review presents the results of studies by neutrons of the magnetism phenomena in ferromagnetic-superconducting inhomogeneous structures carried out by the authors over fifteen years. The presence of superparamagnetic clusters, ferromagnetic domains, and superconducting vortices in real inhomogeneous layered structures leads to new magnetic phenomena. Reflectometry of polarized neutrons, being a powerful method for studying the spatial distribution of magnetization on a spatial scale from fractions of nanometers to tens of microns, makes it possible to study the whole spectrum of magnetic phenomena that occur in ferromagnetic-superconducting structures.

• A Noninvasive Muonography-Based Method for Exploration of Cultural
Heritage Objects

Abstract: An innovative noninvasive method of muonography based on emulsion detectors has been developed. The new method enables detection of changes in the fluxes of atmospheric muons passing through the object under study and determination of the specific features of its internal structure. Owing to the use of the state-of-the-art automated scanning facilities, large-scale studies of natural and industrial objects can be carried out that require processing of large quantity of photoemulsion. A major muonography experiment, in which the internal structure of buildings and the territory of the Svyato-Troitsky Danilov Monastery had been examined, is described in detail.

• Results on Bose–Einstein Correlations of Charged Hadrons in pp
Collisions at 13 TeV in CMS

Abstract: Femtoscopic correlations between charged hadrons are measured over a broad multiplicity range, from a few particles up to about 250 reconstructed charged hadrons, in proton-proton collisions at $$\sqrt s =$$ 13 TeV. The results are based on data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2015, during runs with a special low pileup configuration. Three analysis techniques with different dependencies on simulations are used to remove the non-Bose–Einstein background from the correlation functions, and are found to give consistent results. One-dimensional studies of the lengths-of-homogeneity, $${{R}_{{{\text{inv}}}}}$$ , and the intercept parameter, $$\lambda$$ , have been carried out for both inclusive events and high multiplicity events selected using a dedicated online trigger. The measured lengths of homogeneity are studied as functions of particle multiplicity, pair average transverse momentum and pair average transverse mass. The results are compared with those from CMS collected at lower center-of-mass energies and to data from other LHC experiments, as well as with theoretical expectations from the color glass condensate and from hydrodynamic models.

• Microscopically Derived Grodzins Relation and Prediction of the Excitation
Energies of the $$2_{1}^{ + }$$ States for Some Superheavy Nuclei

Abstract: The microscopic variant of the Grodzins relation derived based on the Geometrical Collective Model and a microscopic approach to description of the low-energy nuclear structure is applied to predict the excitation energies of the $$2_{1}^{ + }$$ states of nuclei with Z $$\geqslant$$ 100. It is shown that at the beginning of the chain of the studied nuclei the excitation energies of the $$2_{1}^{ + }$$ states do not exceed 80 keV. Then $$E(2_{1}^{ + })$$ sharply increases with A and reaches maximum value of 400–500 keV in $$^{{290}}$$ Lv or $$^{{294}}$$ Og depending on the microscopic variant of the Grodzins relation used in the calculations.

• Superoperator Approach to the Theory of Hot Nuclei and Astrophysical
Applications: I—Spectral Properties of Hot Nuclei

Abstract: The method of superoperators in Liouville space was applied to study spectral properties of hot nuclei. It is shown that properly defined fermionic superoperators allow us to generalize the equation-of-motion method to hot nuclei. Within the superoperator approach, for the nuclear model with separable particle–hole residual interaction of Landau–Migdal type, we derived the equations of thermal quasiparticle random phase approximation, which allow the spectral densities and strength functions of charge-exchange and charge-neutral excitations of hot nuclei to be calculated in a thermodynamically consistent way, i.e., without violating the principle of detailed balance. For the quasiparticle-phonon nuclear model, a thermodynamically consistent way is proposed for going beyond the random phase approximation by considering the interaction of thermal phonons. Using the Donnelly–Walecka method and the superoperator approach, expressions for cross sections of semileptonic weak reactions with hot nuclei are obtained.

• Superoperator Approach to the Theory of Hot Nuclei and Astrophysical
Applications: II—Electron Capture in Stars

Abstract: Electron captures on nuclei play an essential role in the dynamics of the collapsing core of a massive star that leads to a supernova explosion. We propose a novel thermodynamically consistent approach to calculate capture rates and cross sections of $${{e}^{ - }}$$ capture on hot nuclei in the stellar interior. The method is based on the quasi-particle random phase approximation extended to finite temperature using the tool of the superoperator formalism. By the example of $$^{{54,56}}$$ Fe it is shown that thermodynamically consistent incorporation of thermal effects leads to a stronger temperature dependence of the $${{e}^{ - }}$$ -capture rates and cross sections for iron group nuclei than predicted by the shell-model calculations. The combined action of thermal effects and pairing correlations on the unblocking of Gamow–Teller $$p \to n$$ -transitions is considered for neutron-rich nuclei around N = 50. It is shown that it is thermal effects that lead to the unblocking of low-energy transitions. Due to this, as well as to the contribution of forbidden transitions, the electron capture does not stop at nuclei with N = 50.

• Topical Problems of Beam Dynamics in the NICA Collider

Abstract: — The NICA project is under development at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia). The accelerator complex is at the stage of step-wise assembly and commissioning. The facility is created for solution of fundamental problems in the field of the quark–gluon plasma and a number of applied experiments; it consists of two superconducting synchrotrons and a superconducting collider. Two linear accelerators play the role of injectors; particles from protons to heavy highly ionized ions are produced by ion sources. The main stage of the project will be commissioning of the Collider. Multiple studies of the beam dynamics at the design stage were the basis of design development of the Collider systems: the accelerator lattice, and the beam correction and control. The choice of its operation parameters is based on numerical calculation of movement of charged particles in the Collider rings, which were multiply performed by different groups of researchers using various methods, algorithms, and simulation codes. Some tasks still remain topical. Some of them are fundamental, and directly affect the understanding of the beam motion in the facility and require thorough study using three-dimensional particle tracking taking account of all the main physical phenomena in beams and nonlinearities in the system. In the NICA, such problems are collective effects, which are mainly the subject of this work. The motion of ions is considered, taking into account the action of space charge of the beam, intrabeam scattering, effects of interacting beams, and the electron cooling system. The problem of the interaction of the circulating beam with beam elements of the Collider and the effect of electron clouds are discussed. The first results of numerical calculations with three-dimensional particle tracking codes are presented. The paper describes the current state of numerical and theoretical calculations of the beam stability in NICA and the plans for solution of the uncompleted tasks.

• The Complete α8m Contributions to the 1s Lamb Shift in Hydrogen

Abstract: Precision studies of simple atoms, such as hydrogen, play an essential role in tests of bound-state QED and determining fundamental constants, such as the Rydberg constant and the proton charge radius. One of the QED predictions is for the Lamb shift of hydrogenic energy levels and, in particular, of the ground state. The value of the $$1s$$ Lamb shift in hydrogen and deuterium is required for an accurate determination of the Rydberg constant and the proton charge radius utilizing data from high-resolution spectroscopy of hydrogen and deuterium atoms, as well as for precision tests of bound-state QED. The dominant QED contribution to the uncertainty is due to the $${{\alpha }^{8}}m$$ external-field contributions. We discuss here our recent results on the two- and three-loop contributions, which essentially reduce the theoretical uncertainty. Combined with recent calculations of Laporta on the slope of the Dirac form factor in the three-loop level, our results allow for completion of calculations of $${{\alpha }^{8}}m$$ contributions to the Lamb shift of the ground state in the hydrogen atom.

Abstract: The King plot technique widely used for isotopes of heavy atoms is extended to light heliumlike ions by taking second differences to eliminate large mass polarization corrections. The effect of a hypothetical electron-neutron interaction propagated by light bosons is included and a comprehensive survey of all second-King plot transitions for all states of Li+ up to $$n = 10$$ and $$L = 7$$ is presented in order to find the ones most sensitive to new physics due to light bosons. The sensitivity is found to be comparable to that for the recently studied case of Yb+.

• A New Mechanism for Sympathetic Cooling of Atoms and Ions in Atomic and
Ion-Atomic Traps

Abstract: Sympathetic cooling of a Fermi gas with a buffer gas of bosonic atoms is an efficient way to achieve quantum degeneracy in Fermi systems. However, all attempts to use this method for cooling ions until recently were ineffective because of the unremovable ion “micromotion” in electromagnetic Paul traps, which prevents the realization of a number of hot projects with cold atom-ion systems. In this regard, we propose a new efficient method for sympathetic cooling of ions: the use for this purpose of cold buffer atoms in the region of atom-ion confinement-induced resonances (CIRs) [V.S. Melezhik, Phys. Rev. A103, 53109 (2021)]. We show that the destructive effect of “micromotion” on its sympathetic cooling can, however, be suppressed in the vicinity of the atom-ion CIR. Here, the resonant blocking of a close collision of an atom with an ion also resists its heating due to “micromotion”. We investigate the effect of sympathetic cooling around CIRs in atom-ion, and atom-atom confined collisions within the quantum-quasiclassical approach using the Li–Yb+ and Li–Yb confined systems as an example. In this approach, the Schrödinger equation for a cold light atom is integrated simultaneously with the classical Hamilton equations for a hotter heavy-ion or atom during a collision. We have found the region near the atom-ion CIR where the sympathetic cooling of the ion by cold atoms is possible in a hybrid atom-ion trap. We also show that it is possible to improve the efficiency of sympathetic cooling in atomic traps by using atomic CIRs.

• A Method of Fast Calculaion of Lepton Magnetic Moments in Quantum
Electrodynamics

Abstract: A new method of divergence subtraction in Feynman parametric integrals is presented. The method is suitable for calculating the lepton anomalous magnetic moments (AMM) in quantum electrodynamics (QED). The subtraction procedure eliminates all divergences before integration and leads to a finite Feynman parametric integral for each individual Feynman diagram. It is based on a forest formula with linear operators applied to the Feynman amplitudes of ultraviolet-divergent subdiagrams. The formula is similar to Bogoliubov–Parasiuk–Hepp–Zimmermann summation; the difference is only in the linear operators used and in the way of combining them. The subtraction is equivalent to the on-shell renormalization from the beginning: for obtaining the final result we should only sum up the contributions of all Feynman diagrams after subtraction. The developed method is an improvement of the method presented by the author in 2016. The modification is specifically designed for calculating the contributions dependent on the relations of particle masses. In comparison with the old version, the new subtraction formula does not contain redundant terms and possesses some flexibility that can be used for improving the precision of calculations. Numerical test results are presented up to four loops.

Opposite Directions

Abstract: Results of PIC simulation of the phase dynamics of counter-propagating overlimiting electron beams injected in opposite directions into various axially symmetric cavities are reviewed. Multiple examples of the complex dynamics of the beams are presented, in which virtual cathodes, phase-space holes, and squeezed state regions containing a dense charged electron plasma are formed. Space and time characteristics of the processes and the density, temperature, and lifetime of the electron plasma are estimated. Possible experiments and potential applications of counter-propagating overlimiting electron beams in various areas of science and technology are considered, including RF electronics, ultra-wideband electronics, particle accelerators, and electric discharges in gases.
