Chiral bands for quasi-proton and quasi-neutron coupling with a triaxial rotor

A particle rotor model (PRM) with a quasi-proton and a quasi-neutron coupled with a triaxial rotor is developed and applied to study chiral doublet bands with configurations of a $h_{11/2}$ proton and a $h_{11/2}$ quasi-neutron. With pairing treated by the BCS approximation, the present quasi-particle PRM is aimed at simulating one proton and many neutron holes coupled with a triaxial rotor. After a detailed analysis of the angular momentum orientations, energy separation between the partner bands, and behavior of electromagnetic transitions, for the first time we find aplanar rotation or equivalently chiral geometry beyond the usual one proton and one neutron hole coupled with a triaxial rotor.

Candidate chiral doublet bands in the odd-odd nucleus $^{126}$Cs

The candidate chiral doublet bands recently observed in $^{126}$Cs have been extended to higher spins, several new linking transitions between the two partner members of the chiral doublet bands are observed, and $γ$$-$intensities related to the chiral doublet bands are presented by analyzing the $γ$$-$$γ$ coincidence data collected earlier at the NORDBALL through the $^{116}$Cd$($$^{14}$N, 4n$)$$^{126}$Cs reaction at a beam energy of 65 MeV. The intraband $B(M1)/B(E2)$ and interband $B(M1)_{in}/B(M1)_{out}$ ratios and the energy staggering parameter, S(I), have been deduced for these doublet bands. The results are found to be consistent with the chiral interpretation for the two structures. Furthermore, the observation of chiral doublet bands in $^{126}$Cs together with those in $^{124}$Cs, $^{128}$Cs, $^{130}$Cs and $^{132}$Cs also indicates that the chiral conditions do not change rapidly with decreasing neutron number in these odd-odd Cesium isotopes.

Examining the chiral geometry in 104Rh and 106Rh

The criteria for chiral doublet bands based on one particle and one hole coupled to a triaxial rotor have been summarized. Two representative cases in $A\sim100$ odd-odd nuclei, nearly degenerate $ΔI =1$ doublet bands in $^{104}$Rh and $^{106}$Rh are checked against these chiral criteria. It is shown that $^{106}$Rh possesses better chiral geometry than $^{104}$Rh, although the energy near degeneracy is achieved in $^{104}$Rh in comparison with the constant energy separation of doublet bands in $^{106}$Rh.

Doublet bands in $^{126}$Cs in the triaxial rotor model coupled with two quasiparticles

The positive parity doublet bands based on the $πh_{11/2}\otimesνh_{11/2}$ configuration in $^{126}$Cs have been investigated in the two quasi-particles coupled with a triaxial rotor model. The energy spectra $E(I)$, energy staggering parameter $S(I)=[E(I)-E(I-1)]/2I$, $B(M1)$ and $B(E2)$ values, intraband $B(M1)/B(E2)$ ratios, $B(M1)_{\textrm{in}}/B(M1)_{\textrm{out}}$ ratios, and orientation of the angular momentum for the rotor as well as the valence proton and neutron are calculated. After including the pairing correlation, good agreement has been obtained between the calculated results and the data available, which supports the interpretation of this positive parity doublet bands as chiral bands.

Search for Small Trans-Neptunian Objects by the TAOS Project

The Taiwan-America Occultation Survey (TAOS) aims to determine the number of small icy bodies in the outer reach of the Solar System by means of stellar occultation. An array of 4 robotic small (D=0.5 m), wide-field (f/1.9) telescopes have been installed at Lulin Observatory in Taiwan to simultaneously monitor some thousand of stars for such rare occultation events. Because a typical occultation event by a TNO a few km across will last for only a fraction of a second, fast photometry is necessary. A special CCD readout scheme has been devised to allow for stellar photometry taken a few times per second. Effective analysis pipelines have been developed to process stellar light curves and to correlate any possible flux changes among all telescopes. A few billion photometric measurements have been collected since the routine survey began in early 2005. Our preliminary result of a very low detection rate suggests a deficit of small TNOs down to a few km size, consistent with the extrapolation of some recent studies of larger (30--100 km) TNOs.

Decoupling Control from Data for TCP Congestion Control

Many applications want to use TCP congestion control to regulate the transmission rate of a data packet stream. A natural way to achieve this goal is to transport the data packet stream on a TCP connection. However, because TCP implements both congestion and error control, transporting a data packet stream directly using a TCP connection forces the data packet stream to be subject to TCP's other properties caused by TCP error control, which may be inappropriate for these applications. The TCP decoupling approach proposed in this thesis is a novel way of applying TCP congestion control to a data packet stream without actually transporting the data packet stream on a TCP connection. Instead, a TCP connection using the same network path as the data packet stream is set up separately and the transmission rate of the data packet stream is then associated with that of the TCP packets. Since the transmission rate of these TCP packets is under TCP congestion control, so is that of the data packet stream. Furthermore, since the data packet stream is not transported on a TCP connection, the regulated data packet stream is not subject to TCP error control. Because of this flexibility, the TCP decoupling approach opens up many new opportunities, solves old problems, and improves the performance of some existing applications. All of these advantages will be demonstrated in the thesis. This thesis presents the design, implementation, and analysis of the TCP decoupling approach, and its successful applications in TCP trunking, wireless communication, and multimedia streaming.

TCP Trunking

A TCP trunk is an IP tunnel under TCP control, capable of carrying packets from any number of user flows. By exploiting properties of TCP, a TCP trunk provides elastic and reliable transmission over a network, and automatically shares the network fairly with other competing trunks. Moreover, by aggregating user flows into a single trunk flow, TCP trunking can significantly reduce the number of flows that the network needs to manage, thereby allowing use of simplified management to achieve improved perfor mance. For example, when dealing with only a small number of TCP trunk flows, a router with a simple FIFO buffer can experience low packet loss rates. A TCP trunk is a "soft" circuit in the sense that it requires no flow states to be maintained inside the network. Setting up a TCP trunk involves only configuring the two end nodes. This is in contrast with traditional methods of configuring circuits via signaling of network nodes. A simple packet-dropping mechanism based on packet accounting at the transmitter of a TCP trunk assures that, when the trunk reduces its bandwidth in response to network congestion, user TCP flows carried by the trunk will reduce their bandwidths by the same proportion. Simu lation results have demonstrated that TCP trunks can provide improved network performance to users, while achieving high network utilization.
