摘要: POLAR-2 is a gamma-ray burst (GRB) polarimeter that is designed to study the polarization in GRB radiation emissions, aiming to improve our knowledge of related mechanisms. POLAR-2 is expected to utilize an on#2;board polarimeter that is sensitive to soft X-rays (210 keV), called low-energy polarization detector (LPD). We have developed a new soft X-ray polarization detector prototype based on gas microchannel plates (GMCPs) and pixel chips (Topmetal). The GMCPs have bulk resistance, which prevents charging-up effects and ensures gain stability during operation. The detector is composed of low-outgassing materials and is gas-sealed using a laser welding technique, ensuring long-term stability. A modulation factor of 41.28% 0.64% is obtained for a 4.5 keV polarized X-ray beam. A residual modulation of 1.96% 0.58% at 5.9 keV is observed for the entire sensitive area.

摘要: The thermodynamic properties of charged particles, such as the energy density, pressure, entropy density, particle density, and squared speed of sound at the kinetic freeze-out in the $ mathrm{Au+Au}$ collisions from the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) beam energy scan program ($ sqrt{s_ text{NN}}$=7.7--200 GeV) and in the $ mathrm{Cu+Cu}$ collisions at $ sqrt{s_ text{NN}}$=62.4, 200 GeV are studied using the thermodynamically consistent Tsallis distribution. The energy density, pressure, and particle density decrease monotonically with the collision energy for the same collision centrality; These properties also decrease monotonically from the central to peripheral collisions at the same collision energy. While the scaled energy density $ varepsilon/T^4$ and scaled entropy density $s/T^3$ demonstrate the opposite trend with the collision energy for the same collision centrality. There is a correlation between $ varepsilon/T^4$ and $s/T^3$ at the same centrality. In addition, the squared speed of sound was calculated to determine that all the collision energies share nearly the same value at different collision centralities.

摘要: The Cooling Storage Ring external-target experiment (CEE) spectrometer is used to study the nuclear matter created in heavy-ion collisions atsNN= 2.1-2.4 GeV with the aim to reveal the quantum chromodynamics phase structure in the high-baryon density region. Collective flow is considered an effective probe for evaluating the properties of media during high-energy nuclear collisions. One of the main functions of the zero-degree calorimeter (ZDC), a subdetector system in the CEE, is to determine the reaction plane in heavy-ion collisions. This step is crucial for measuring the collective flow and other reaction-plane-related analyses. In this paper, we illustrate the procedures for event-plane determination using the ZDC. Finally, isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model-based predictions of the rapidity dependence of the directed and elliptical flows forp,d,t,3He, and4He, produced in 2.1 GeV U+U collisions, are presented.
