Abstract:
The development of atomic and nuclear physics, the efficient use of nuclear energy plays an important role in the international arena. The structure of the atom and the nucleus, the training of internationally advanced personnel to improve the use of its energy is a topical issue today. The role of atomic and nuclear physics in education, science and industry in our country is wide. However, taking into account the fact that the introduction of modern and new areas of nuclear physics, such as radiation physics, deformed nucleus physics, into the system of continuing education will further increase the efficiency of specialists trained in this field.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Physics, 2006.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 171-174).
The EMC effect has been with us for over 20 years. During this time, the nuclear dependence of the structure functions, and therefore the underlying quark distributions, has been studied with much success. However, the bulk of the experimental effort has been to measure the effect in heavy nuclei where it has the same zBj dependence and differs only in magnitude. Calculations predict large differences in both the magnitude and zBj-dependence of the EMC effect in 3He and 4He and precise measurements of the EMC effect in these nuclei could be used to distinguish between existing models. E03-103 measured the inclusive electron scattering cross-section on 1H, 2H, 3He, and 4He, as well as the heavier targets Be, C, Cu, and Au. This thesis describes the experiment in detail and presents results for 3He, 4He, and carbon. These data provide the first measurement of the EMC effect in 3He above xBj > 0.4, and improve upon the existing measurement of the effect in 4He.

Abstract:
The AdS/CFT correspondence relates a strongly coupled gauge theory in four dimensional space-time with a weakly coupled gravity theory in five dimensional space-time. This correspondence provides a way to access the strongly coupled regime of a gauge theory via a perturbative approach in its gravity dual theory. In this dissertation, the gravity dual of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is discussed. The so-called bottom-up approach (AdS/QCD) successfully reproduces the low energy observables at 10-20% accuracy.;An AdS/QCD model with two flavors of quarks is considered, assuming isospin symmetry. Pions and rho mesons masses and decay constants are obtained. We calculate the stress tensor, or energy-momentum tensor, form factors. Mesons appear strikingly more compact measured by the gravitational form factor than by the electromagnetic form factor.;Extension of the model to three flavors of quarks, incorporating quarks with differing masses (including the strange quark), is also considered. Dynamical properties of mesons such as electromagnetic form factors, strangeness-changing form factors, and gravitational form factors are obtained from 3-point function calculations. The results agree well with experimental data (when available) and with calculations from other methods (when available).;Electromagnetic and gravitational form factors for baryons are calculated, in a scheme where the baryons are treated as independent particles in AdS space. The form factors were calculated both in the case of so called hard-wall and soft-wall model. The simplest fermion Lagrangian for the five dimensional curved space does not contribute to the F2 form factor unless one adds a Pauli term, which also contributes to the F1 form factor.

Full text
Abstract:
In the current work a detailed spectroscopic investigations of the gamma-decays from the excited states of the rare-earth nucleus 159Er has been performed to study the structural properties up to possible ultrahigh spins. The nucleus of 159Er had been populated by the reaction 116Cd(48Ca,5n ) at beam energy of 215-MeV in an experiment at Argonne National Laboratory using the Gammashphere array. Following a hypercube analysis of the collected data, new rotational bands were observed and the previously reported bands were extended up to possible spin through observation of new gamma-ray transitions in coincidence with the existing sequences. Possible angular intensity-ratio, B(M1)/B(E2)-ratios, measurements have been performed to confirm the nature of previously observed transitions and to assign multipolarites of the new ones. The band structures are discussed within the framework of cranked shell model calculations, revealing a diverse range of quasiparticle configurations. At spins of around 50¯h, there is evidence for a change from dominant prolate collective motion in the yrast band and its signature partner to oblate non-collective structures via the mechanism of band termination. A possible strongly deformed triaxial band occurs at these high spins, which indicate collectivity beyond 50¯h. The high-spin structures of data are interpreted within the framework of cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations.

Full text
Abstract:
The low-lying structures of the extremely neutron-deficient nuclei 106Te, 107Te, 110Xe, 170Ir and 172Au have been investigated experimentally. Prompt gamma rays emitted in fusion-evaporation reactions were detected by the Jurogam HPGe array. The gamma rays were assigned to specific reaction channels using the recoil-decay tagging technique provided by the gas-filled separator RITU and the GREAT focal-plane spectrometer. The experimental set-up and the technique used to extract the information from the experimental data are described in detail. Results were interpreted in terms of the nuclear shell model and Total Routhian Surface calculations. In addition, decay studies on 170Ir, 172Au and 164Re led to the discovery of new alpha-decay branches in these nuclei.

Full text
Abstract:
This short pedagogical movie illustrates an effect in nuclear physics called backbending which was first observed in the study of the rotational behavior of rapidly rotating rare-earth nuclei in Stockholm, Sweden in 1971. The video contains a mechanical analog utilizing rare-earth magnets and rotating gyroscopes on a turntable along with some historic spectra and papers associated with this landmark discovery together with its explanation in terms of the Coriolis induced uncoupling and rotational alignment of a specific pair of particles occupying high-j intruder orbitals. Thus backbending represents a crossing in energy of the groundstate, or vacuum, rotational band by another band which has two unpaired high-j nucleons (two quasi-particles) with their individual angular momenta aligned with the rotation axis of the rapidly rotating nucleus. Backbending was a major surprise which pushed the field of nuclear structure physics forward but which is now sufficiently well understood that it can be used as a precision spectroscopic tool providing useful insight for example, into nuclear pairing correlations and changes in the latter due to blocking effects and quasi-particle seniority, nuclear deformation, the excited configurations of particular rotational structures and the placement of proton and neutron intruder orbitals at the Fermi surface.

Full text
Abstract:
Agrobacteriumtumefaciensmediates genetic transformation of plants. The possibility of exchanging the natural genes for other DNA has led to Agrobacterium’s emergence as the primary vector for genetic modification of plants. The similarity among eukaryotic mechanisms of nuclear import also suggests use of its active elements as media for non-viral genetic therapy in animals. These considerations motivate the present study of the process that carries DNA of bacterial origin into the host nucleus. The infective pathway of Agrobacterium involves excision of a single-stranded DNA molecule (T-strand) from the bacterial tumor-inducing plasmid. This transferred DNA (T-DNA) travels to the host cell cytoplasm along with two virulence proteins, VirD2 and VirE2, through a specific bacteriumplant channel(s). Little is known about the precise structure and composition of the resulting complex within the host cell and even less is known about the mechanism of its nuclear import and integration into the host cell genome. In the present proposal we combined the expertise of the US and Israeli labs and revealed many of the biophysical and biological properties of the genetic transformation process, thus enhancing our understanding of the processes leading to nuclear import and integration of the Agrobacterium T-DNA. Specifically, we sought to: I. Elucidate the interaction of the T-strand with its chaperones. II. Analyzing the three-dimensional structure of the T-complex and its chaperones in vitro. III. Analyze kinetics of T-complex formation and T-complex nuclear import. During the past three years we accomplished our goals and made the following major discoveries: (1) Resolved the VirE2-ssDNA three-dimensional structure. (2) Characterized VirE2-ssDNA assembly and aggregation, along with regulation by VirE1. (3) Studied VirE2-ssDNA nuclear import by electron tomography. (4) Showed that T-DNA integrates via double-stranded (ds) intermediates. (5) Identified that Arabidopsis Ku80 interacts with dsT-DNA intermediates and is essential for T-DNA integration. (6) Found a role of targeted proteolysis in T-DNA uncoating. Our research provide significant physical, molecular, and structural insights into the Tcomplex structure and composition, the effect of host receptors on its nuclear import, the mechanism of T-DNA nuclear import, proteolysis and integration in host cells. Understanding the mechanical and molecular basis for T-DNA nuclear import and integration is an essential key for the development of new strategies for genetic transformation of recalcitrant plant species. Thus, the knowledge gained in this study can potentially be applied to enhance the transformation process by interfering with key steps of the transformation process (i.e. nuclear import, proteolysis and integration). Finally, in addition to the study of Agrobacterium-host interaction, our research also revealed some fundamental insights into basic cellular mechanisms of nuclear import, targeted proteolysis, protein-DNA interactions and DNA repair.
