    SUM RULES AND MOMENTS OF THE NUCLEON SPIN STRUCTURE FUNCTIONS

    The nucleon has been used as a laboratory to investigate its own spin structure and quantum chromodynamics. New experimental data on nucleon spin structure at low to intermediate momentum transfers combined with existing high momentum transfer data offer a comprehensive picture of the transition region from the confinement regime of the theory to its asymptotic freedom regime. Insight for some aspects of the theory is gained by exploring lower moments of spin structure functions and their corresponding sum rules (i.e. the Gerasimov–Drell–Hearn, Bjorken and Burkhardt–Cottingham). These moments are expressed in terms of an operator-product expansion using quark and gluon degrees of freedom at moderately large momentum transfers. The sum rules are verified to good accuracy assuming that no singular behavior of the structure functions is present at very high excitation energies. The higher-twist contributions have been examined through the moments evolution as the momentum transfer varies from higher to lower values. Furthermore, QCD-inspired low-energy effective theories, which explicitly include chiral symmetry breaking, are tested at low momentum transfers. The validity of these theories is further examined as the momentum transfer increases to moderate values. It is found that chiral perturbation calculations agree reasonably well with the first moment of the spin structure function g1 at momentum transfer of 0.1 GeV2 but fail to reproduce the neutron data in the case of the generalized polarizability δLT.

    Moments of the three-parameter Fermi distribution

    The moments rm of the spherical three-parameter Fermi distribution (3pF) are presented for m=1 to 8 as a function of the parameter w, the half-density radius c and the diffuseness parameter a through the introduced parameter β=πa/c, which can be applied to study the neutron skin in neutron rich nuclei. The general expression of the moment can be written as the combination of integrals In(k,w) with k=c/a. The errors of the analytic moments rm are estimated with the typical values of the parameters in 3pF compared with the numerical results.

    Theoretical comparison of transition rate B(E2) and deformation parameter with experimental data for calcium (20Ca) isotopes using shell model theory

    A theoretical comparison has been made for some calcium isotopes (20Ca) which are even–even nuclei and have the atomic mass (Z = 20) with its previous experimental data. Theoretical calculations of some 20Ca isotopes (A = 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52) adopted by the shell model theory were performed to calculate the transition rate B(E2), theoretical intrinsic quadruple moments (Q0Th) and theoretical deformation parameters (β2, δ)Th were calculated by two methods by using different effective interactions for each isotope such as, su3fp, fpbm, fprkb, fpd6, kb3. Through code NuShellX@MSU, the single-body density matrix was calculated. The effects of the core polarization were neglected by adopting various effective charges that were employed, effective charges of conventional (Con-E), effective charges of standard (St-E) and effective charges of Bohr and Mottelson (B-M-E) which were calculated. The theoretical values of the B(E2)Th, the Q0Th and the (β2, δ)Th were then compared with the previous experimental data where values of the transition rate B(E2)Th, theoretical intrinsic quadrupole moments Q0Th and theoretical deformation parameter (β2, δ)Th, using the fpbm, the fpd6 and the kb3 interactions were the best.

    A NEW EFFICIENT CONTROL METHOD FOR BLENDED WING BODY

    The blended wing body (BWB) is the hottest one of the aerodynamic shapes of next generation airliner because of its' high lift-drag ratio, but there are still some flaws that cut down its aerodynamical performance. One of the most harmful flaws is the low efficiency of elevator and direction rudder, this makes the BWB hard to be controlled. In this paper, we proposed a new control method to solve this problem by morphing wing—that is, to control the BWB only by changing its wing shape but without any rudder. The pitching moments, rolling moments and yawing moments are plotted versus the parameters section and the wing shape in figures and are discussed in the paper. The result shows that the morphing wing can control the moments of BWB more precisely and in wider range. The pitching moments, rolling moments and yawing moments increases or decreases linearly or almost linearly, with the value of the selected parameters. These results show that using morphing wing is an excellent aerodynamic control way for a BWB craft.
