X-ray lines of helium-like calcium (\ion{Ca}{19}) between 3.17~\AA\ and 3.21~\AA\ and associated \ion{Ca}{18} dielectronic satellites have previously been observed in solar flare spectra, and their ...excitation mechanisms are well established. Dielectronic satellites of lower ionization stages (\ion{Ca}{17}~--~\ion{Ca}{15}) are not as well characterized. Several spectra during a large solar flare in 2001 by the DIOGENESS X-ray spectrometer on the {\em CORONAS-F}\/ spacecraft show the \ion{Ca}{17} and \ion{Ca}{16} satellites as well as lines of ionized argon (\ion{Ar}{17}, \ion{Ar}{16}) including dielectronic satellites. The DIOGENESS spectra are compared with spectra from a synthesis code developed here based on an isothermal assumption with various atomic sources including dielectronic satellite data from the Cowan Hartree--Fock code. Best-fit comparisons are made by varying the temperature as the code's input (Ar/Ca abundance ratio fixed at 0.33); close agreement is achieved although with adjustments to some ion fractions. The derived temperature is close to that derived from the two {\em GOES}\/ X-ray channels, \(T_{\rm GOES}\). Some lines are identified for the first time. Similar spectra from the {\em P78-1}\/ spacecraft and the Alcator C-Mod tokamak have also been analyzed and similar agreement obtained. The importance of blends of calcium and argon lines is emphasized, affecting line ratios used for temperature diagnostics. This analysis will be applied to the {\em Solar Maximum Mission}\/ Bent Crystal Spectrometer archive and to X-ray spectra expected from the ChemiX instrument on the Sun-orbiting {\em Interhelioprobe}\/ spacecraft, while the relevance to X-ray spectra from non-solar sources is indicated.
Cette thèse porte sur l'étude de la diffraction avec le détecteur ATLAS au LHC. Après une brève introduction a la physique diffractive incluant la diffraction dure et molle, nous présenterons la ...production d'évènements "Jet-Gap-Jet" qui est particulirement intéressante pour tester les équations d'évolution de la Chromodynamique Quantique de Balitski Fadin Kuraev Lipatov. En utilisant des coupures permettant de sélectionner ce signal et une définition du "gap" basée sur la reconstruction des traces dans le détecteur interne d'ATLAS, nous observons un signal clair d'évènements "Jet-Gap-Jet" dans les données. A partir d'une taille de "demi-gap" de 0.8, les données ne peuvent pas être décrites de manière correcte en utilisant l'échantillon Monte Carlo des données de jets sans gap. Nous prouvons également que la production d'évènements "Jet-gap-Jet" avec les deux protons détectes dans AFP permet de réaliser un test propre de la théorie BFKL avec une luminosité de 300 pb-1. Dans la derniere partie de la these, nous presentons la production exclusive de jets et de pi+pi-. Apres la selection des donnes, le rapport signal sur bruit est de l'ordre de 5/9 (1/13) pour µ = 23 (46). Pour une luminosite integree respective de 40(300) fb-1 (pour un "pile-up" de 23(46)), cette mesure permettra d'etablir des contraintes sur les modeles theoriques dix fois plus precises qu'actuellement. La mesure de la production exclusive de pions en utilisant le detecteur ALFA permet de contraindre egalement les modeles exclusifs. Nous avons montre que les donnees accumulees par ALFA suffiront deja pour mesurer la section efficace de production et pour etudier differentes distributions comme la masse invariante du systeme pion-pion.
We describe the RF15-I instrument, comprising a solar photometer and an imager, designed for multi-band high-time resolution measurements of integral solar fluxes in the energy range between 2 keV ...and 240 keV as well as for imaging of solar flares in the 2-8 keV energy range. The instrument was launched in August 1995 aboard the INTERBALL-Tail spacecraft. Description of the construction and operations is presented. The overall performance and the high sensitivity of the photometer are shown in examples. The X-ray tomograph-imager contains a unique rotationally modulated collimator. It provides sets of one-dimensional scans of flares taken at varying angles due to spinning of the satellite. We present principles of the algorithm for imaging from these data and show example of reconstructed flare image taken in the 2-4 keV range.PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
This document collects the proceedings of the PHOTON 2017 conference ("International Conference on the Structure and the Interactions of the Photon", including the 22th "International Workshop on ...Photon-Photon Collisions", and the "International Workshop on High Energy Photon Colliders") held at CERN (Geneva) in May 2017. The latest experimental and theoretical developments on the topics of the PHOTON conference series are covered: (i) \(\gamma\,\gamma\) processes in e\(^+\)e\(^-\), proton-proton (pp) and nucleus-nucleus (AA) collisions at current and future colliders, (ii) \(\gamma\)-hadron interactions in e\(^\pm\)p, pp, and AA collisions, (iii) final-state photon production (including Standard Model studies and searches beyond it) in pp and AA collisions, and (iv) high-energy \(\gamma\)-ray astrophysics. These proceedings are dedicated to the memory of Maria Krawczyk.
The {\em DIOGENESS} X-ray crystal spectrometer on the {\em CORONAS-F} spacecraft operated for a single month (25~August to 17~September) in 2001 but in its short lifetime obtained one hundred and ...forty high-resolution spectra from some eight solar flares with {\em GOES} importance ranging from C9 to X5. The instrument included four scanning flat crystals with wavelength ranges covering the regions of \sixiii\ (6.65~\AA), \sxv\ (5.04~\AA), and \caxix\ (3.18~\AA) X-ray lines and associated dielectronic satellites. Two crystals covering the \caxix\ lines were oriented in a ``Dopplerometer'' manner, i.e. such that spatial and spectral displacements both of which commonly occur in flares can be separated. We describe the {\em DIOGENESS} spectrometer and the spectra obtained during flares which include lines not hitherto seen from spacecraft instruments. An instrument with very similar concept is presently being built for the two Russian {\em Interhelioprobe} spacecraft due for launch in 2020 and 2022 that will make a near-encounter (perihelion \(\sim 0.3\) a.u.) to the Sun in its orbit. We outline the results that are likely to be obtained.
