  • Dilution of dark matter relic density in singlet extension models

    分类: 天文学 >> 天文学 提交时间: 2023-02-19

    摘要: We study the dilution of dark matter (DM) relic density caused by the electroweak first-order phase transition (FOPT) in the singlet extension models, including the singlet extension of the standard model (xSM), of the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM+S) and the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM). We find that in these models the entropy released by the strong electroweak FOPT can dilute the DM density to 1/3 at most. Nevertheless, in the xSM and NMSSM where the singlet field configure is relevant to the phase transition temperature, the strong FOPT always happens before the DM freeze-out, making the dilution effect negligible for the current DM density. On the other hand, in the 2HDM+S where the DM freeze-out temperature is independent of FOPT, the dilution may salvage some parameter space excluded by excessive DM relic density or by DM direct detections.

  • New vacuum stability limit from cosmological history

    分类: 天文学 >> 天文学 提交时间: 2023-02-19

    摘要: The vacuum stability problem is usually studied assuming that the universe is located in the desired electroweak-breaking vacuum. This may not be the case, however, as seen by checking the evolution history of the early universe. The transition to the stable desired vacuum may not be possible, or the desired vacuum could be meta-stable and long-lived but the universe may already be in an undesired global vacuum from an early stage. We reveal that these situations exist even in the simplest singlet extension of the Standard Model, propose a general procedure to identify them, and divide the parameter space according to different cases. We find that checking cosmological history can provide a more stringent, reasonable and sometimes computationally cheaper limit of vacuum stability on new physics models than the traditional

  • Rotating Massive Strangeon Stars and X-Ray Plateau of Short GRBs

    分类: 天文学 >> 天文学 提交时间: 2024-03-29 合作期刊: 《Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics》

    摘要: Strangeon stars, which are proposed to describe the nature of pulsar-like compact stars, have passed various observational tests. The maximum mass of a non-rotating strangeon star could be high, which implies that the remnants of binary strangeon star mergers could even be long-lived massive strangeon stars. We study rigidly rotating strangeon stars in the slowly rotating approximation, using the Lennard-Jones model for the equation of state. Rotation can significantly increase the maximum mass of strangeon stars with unchanged baryon numbers, enlarging the mass-range of long-lived strangeon stars. During spin-down after merger, the decrease of radius of the remnant will lead to the release of gravitational energy. Taking into account the efficiency of converting the gravitational energy luminosity to the observed X-ray luminosity, we find that the gravitational energy could provide an alternative energy source for the plateau emission of X-ray afterglow. The fitting results of X-ray plateau emission of some short gamma-ray bursts suggest that the magnetic dipole field strength of the remnants can be much smaller than that of expected when the plateau emission is powered only by spin-down luminosity of magnetars.

  • Spatial and temporal change patterns of net primary productivity and its response to climate change in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau of China from 2000 to 2015

    摘要: The vegetation ecosystem of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau in China, considered to be the ′′natural laboratory′′ of climate change in the world, has undergone profound changes under the stress of global change. Herein, we analyzed and discussed the spatial-temporal change patterns and the driving mechanisms of net primary productivity (NPP) in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau from 2000 to 2015 based on the gravity center and correlation coefficient models. Subsequently, we quantitatively distinguished the relative effects of climate change (such as precipitation, temperature and evapotranspiration) and human activities (such as grazing and ecological construction) on the NPP changes using scenario analysis and Miami model based on the MOD17A3 and meteorological data. The average annual NPP in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau showed a decreasing trend from the southeast to the northwest during 2000–2015. With respect to the inter-annual changes, the average annual NPP exhibited a fluctuating upward trend from 2000 to 2015, with a steep increase observed in 2005 and a high fluctuation observed from 2005 to 2015. In the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, the regions with the increase in NPP (change rate higher than 10%) were mainly concentrated in the Three-River Source Region, the northern Hengduan Mountains, the middle and lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, and the eastern parts of the North Tibet Plateau, whereas the regions with the decrease in NPP (change rate lower than –10%) were mainly concentrated in the upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the Ali Plateau. The gravity center of NPP in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau has moved southwestward during 2000–2015, indicating that the increment and growth rate of NPP in the southwestern part is greater than those of NPP in the northeastern part.Further, a significant correlation was observed between NPP and climate factors in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. The regions exhibiting a significant correlation between NPP and precipitation were mainly located in the central and eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, and the regions exhibiting a significant correlation between NPP and temperature were mainly located in the southern and eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Furthermore, the relative effects of climate change and human activities on the NPP changes in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau exhibited significant spatial differences in three types of zones, i.e., the climate change-dominant zone, the human activity-dominant zone, and the climate change and human activity interaction zone. These research results can provide theoretical and methodological supports to reveal the driving mechanisms of the regional ecosystems to the global change in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.

    摘要: Amino-type adsorbents (ATAs) were prepared by radiation-induced graft copolymerization of 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate glycidyl ether (HB) onto a polyethylene-coated polypropylene (PE/PP) duplex fiber of a non-woven fabric, and modified with different amines of ethylenediamine (EDA), diethylenetriamine (DETA), triethylenetetramine (TETA) and diethylamine (DEA). The adsorption behavior of uranyl ions onto the ATAs was studied in batch experiments. The effects of the contact time, initial concentration of the ions, temperature, and pH value. The salinity were investigated along with the adsorption kinetics and the adsorption isotherms. The kinetic experimental data followed the pseudo second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption isotherms correlated well with the Langmuir model. The ATAs showed good efficiency in adsorbing uranyl ions, with the best saturation adsorption capacity being 64.26 mg g-1 for ATA-DETA within 120 min. The temperature dependence of ATA-DETA was quite abnormal and the quickest behavior was obtained at 25 ℃. ATAs showed good adsorption capacity over a wide pH range of 4.08.5, and HCl could be used in the elution process. Salinity of the solution had great effect on the adsorption capacity, 3.5% salinity resulted in a 55% loss of capacity from ATA-DETA. The selectivity of ATA-DETA showed an order of: UO22+ Fe3+ > Zn2+ > VO3- > Co2+ > Ni2+.

  • Commissioning of a high-resolution collinear laser spectroscopy apparatus with a laser ablation ion source

    分类: 核科学技术 >> 粒子加速器 提交时间: 2021-12-31

    摘要: Collinear laser spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying the nuclear spins, electromagnetic moments, and charge radii of exotic nuclei. To study the nuclear properties of unstable nuclei at the Beijing Radioactive Ion#2;beam Facility (BRIF) and the future High Intensity Heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF), we developed a collinear laser spectroscopy apparatus integrated with an offline laser ablation ion source and a laser system. The overall performance of this state-of-the-art technique was evaluated and the system was commissioned using a bunched stable ion beam. The high-resolution optical spectra for the 4s 2S1/2 → 4p 2P3/2 (D2) ionic transition of 40,42,44,48Ca isotopes were successfully measured. The extracted isotope shifts relative to 40Ca showed excellent agreement with the literature values. This system is now ready for use at radioactive ion beam facilities such as the BRIF and paves the way for the further development of higher-sensitivity collinear resonant ionization spectroscopy techniques.
