摘要:The Hot Universe Baryon Surveyor (HUBS) mission will carry a nested X-ray telescope capable of observing an energy range from 0.5 keV to 2 keV to study hot baryon evolution. In this paper, we report the latest progress in the design and construction of nested X-ray telescopes which were designed to use a three-stage conicapproximation type assembly to simplify the manufacturing process. The mirror substrate is made using the thermal glass slumping method, with mirrors characterized by a root-mean-square roughness of 0.3 nm, with expected high reflectivity and good thermal stability. We also discuss methods of telescope construction and conduct a deformation analysis of the manufactured mirror. The in situ measurement system program is developed to guide the telescope assembly process.

摘要:Before charge-coupled device detectors became widely employed in observational astronomy, for more than a hundred years, the main detection method was photography on astronomical glass plates. Recently, in order to preserve these historical data and maintain their usability, the International Astronomical Union has appealed to all countries for global digitization of astronomical plates by developing or adopting advanced digitization technology. Specialized digitizers with high precision and high measuring speed represent key equipment for this task. The Shanghai Astronomical Observatory and the Nishimura Co., Ltd in Japan cooperated between 2013 and 2016 to develop the first Chinese high-precision astronomical plate digitizer, which was then used for complete digitization of all nighttime-observation astronomical plates in China. Then, in 2019–2021, the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory independently developed new models of plate digitizers that enabled countries such as Uzbekistan and Italy to digitize their astronomical plates. Additionally, a new high-precision and multifunction digitizer was also used to digitize valuable microscope slides from the Shanghai Natural History Museum, providing a successful example of crossdomain application of high-precision digitization technology.

摘要: Using various latest cosmological datasets including Type-Ia supernovae, cosmic microwave background radiation, baryon acoustic oscillations, and estimations of the Hubble parameter, we test some dark energy models with parameterized equations of state and try to distinguish or select observation-preferred models. We obtain the best fitting results of the six models and calculate their values of the Akaike Information Criteria and Bayes Information Criterion. And we can distinguish these dark energy models from each other by using these two information criterions. However, the $\Lambda $CDM model remains the best fit model. Furthermore, we perform geometric diagnostics including statefinder and Om diagnostics to understand the geometric behaviour of the dark energy models. We find that the six DE models can be distinguished from each other and from $\Lambda$CDM, Chaplygin gas, quintessence models after the statefinder and Om diagnostics were performed. Finally, we consider the growth factor of the dark energy models with comparison to $\Lambda $CDM model. Still, we find the models can be distinguished from each other and from $\Lambda $CDM model through the growth factor approximation.

摘要: We study the possibility of monopoles serving as dark matter when they are produced during the first-order phase transition in the dark sector. Our study shows that dark monopoles can contribute only a small piece of dark matter relic density within parameter spaces where strong gravitational waves can be probed by ET and CE, and the monopoles can contribute a sizable component of the observed dark matter relic density for fast phase transitions with short duration.

摘要: Speckle patterns have been widely confirmed that can be utilized to reconstruct the wavelength information. In order to achieve higher resolution, a varies of optical diffusing waveguides have been investigated with a focus on their wavelength sensitivity. However, it has been a challenge to reach the balance among cost, volumes, resolution, and stability. In this work, we designed a compact cylindrical random scattering waveguide (CRSW) as the light diffuser only by mixing TiO2 particles and ultra-violate adhesive. The speckle patterns are generated by the light multiple scattering in the CRSW. Importantly, the thin layer of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were sprayed on the end face of the CRSW. This allows the near infrared (NIR) light to be converted to the visible light, breaking the imaging limitation of visible cameras in the NIR range. We further designed a convolution neural network (CNN) to recognize the wavelength of the speckle patterns with good robustness and excellent ability of transfer learning, resulting in the achievement of a high resolution of 20 kHz ( 0.16 fm) at around 1550 nm with temperature resistance of 2 celsius. Our results provide a low-cost, compact, and simple NIR wavemeter in particular with the ultra high resolution and good temperature stability.

摘要: The evolution of microstruture for Fe16.7Cr14.5Ni model alloy and 316 stainless steel irradiated with 140 keV He ions were studied by Positron annihilation spectroscopy. The fluences were 1016 and 5016 He ions/cm2. The irradiation temperature was room temperature and 573 K, respectively. The variation of S parameter-incident positron energy profile indicated that large amount of vacancy-type defects formed after He ion irradiation. Meanwhile, helium atoms deposited in bulk and certain amount of He-vacancy complexes were formed. The vacancy-type defects could be the major defects in track region and He-vacancy complexes would be the main defects in cascade region. The vacancy-type defects could migrate and aggregate to form vacancy clusters and even microvoids at elevated temperature irradiation. The diffusion mechanism of helium atoms might be changed at different irradiation temperature.

摘要: A series of Sm-doped LDPE-Na2SO4 composites were successfully achieved by melt mixing and hot pressing methods. Their morphology, structure and luminescent properties were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoexcitation (PE), photoluminescence (PL) spectra, respectively. The sizes and concentrations of free volume cavities in composites were studied by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). SEM micrographs showed that Na2SO4:Sm3+ particles were well-distributed in the polymer matrix. XRD analyses revealed that the addition of Na2SO4:Sm3+ had no effect on the original crystal structure of LDPE. The dominant photoexcitation peak was observed at about 402 nm. The photoluminescence spectra consisted of four main peaks at 563, 598, 644 and 706 nm which could be associated to the transitions 4G5/2→6HJ (J=5/2, 7/2, 9/2 and 11/2, respectively) within the 4f5 electronic configuration of Sm3+. The effect of different doping concentration of Na2SO4:Sm3+ on the luminescent properties of the composites was investigated. The luminescent intensity of the composites increased with phosphor concentration.

摘要: A comparative study on the morphology, structure and luminescence modifications of LDPE–Na2SO4:Sm3+ composite induced by gamma irradiation was reported for the first time. The composites were irradiated with irradiation doses of 10, 30, and 50 kGy in air at room temperature. Modifications on structural and luminescence properties of LDPE–Na2SO4:Sm3+ composites were investigated by using several analytical methods. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed that the cross-linking improved the crystallinity of the composites. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images illustrated the surface modifications of composites induced by irradiation. Results of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) suggested that gamma irradiation affected the free volumes concentrations in the samples. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of non-irradiated and irradiated composites consisted of four main peaks at 563, 598, 644 and 706 nm which could be assigned to the 4G5/2 6HJ (J =5/2, 7/2, 9/2 and 11/2, respectively) transitions within the electronic configuration of Sm3+. Meanwhile, we observed an additional peak at about 686 nm in the irradiated composites, owing to the conversion of Sm3+ Sm2+. Concentrations of the Sm2+ centers linearly increased with gamma irradiation doses, which partly accounted for the degradation of PL intensity of Sm3+ peaks.
