List of Publications Executive summary followed by Research Highlights Executive Summary 1 1. Our mission On September 1st 2003, the Henryk Niewodniczański Institute of Nuclear Physics (Instytut Fizyki Jądrowej im. Henryka Niewodniczańskiego) in Kraków joined the Polish Academy of Sciences (Polska Akademia Nauk). The Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN), founded in 1952, is a state-sponsored scientific institution acting through an elected corporation of leading scholars, their research organizations and through numerous scientific establishments. PAN is a major national scientific advisory body acting via its scientific committees which represent all disciplines of science. There are currently 79 PAN research establishments (institutes and research centers, research stations, botanical gardens and other research units) and a number of auxiliary scientific units (such as archives, libraries, museums, and PAN stations abroad). Our Institute is currently the largest research institutions of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The research activity of the Academy is financed mainly from the State budget via the Ministry of Scientific Research and Information Technology. The mission of the Institute of Nuclear Physics, IFJ is stated in its Charter. According to Paragraphs 5, 6, and 7 of the 2004 Charter, the Institute’s duty is to carry out research activities in the following areas: 1. 2. 3. 4. High energy and elementary particle physics (including astrophysics), Nuclear physics and physics of mechanisms of nuclear interaction, Condensed matter physics, Interdisciplinary research, and in particular: in radiation and environmental biology, environmental physics, medical physics, dosimetry, nuclear geophysics, radiochemistry and material engineering. 1. To perform research in the above disciplines, 2. To promote the development of scientists and of specialists qualified to carry out research in these disciplines, 3. To organize a Post-Graduate Study Course, 4. To permit, through agreements with national and foreign research institutions, external scholars to train and gain academic qualifications in the Institute’s laboratories, 5. To collaborate with national and local authorities in providing them with expertise in the Institute’s research topics, especially concerning radiation protection. These tasks are fulfilled by: 1. Performing individual and coordinated research through individual and collective research grant projects, 2. Initiating and maintaining cooperation with laboratories, organizations and institutions performing similar activities, in Poland and abroad, 3. Conferring scientific degrees and titles, 4. Distributing research results obtained, through peer-reviewed publications and other public media, 5. Organizing scientific meetings, conferences, symposia, training workshops, etc., 6. Providing expertise and analytic reports to government institutions and local authorities, 7. Carrying out other duties, within the statutory mandate of the Institute. Executive Summary The main tasks of the Institute are: 2 Executive Summary 2. Historical background The Institute of Nuclear Physics was established in Kraków in 1955. The post-war excitement of engaging in scientific activity, exceptional in those times, can certainly be credited to the talent, experience and unusual personality of Professor Henryk Niewodniczański, the founder and first Director of the Institute. Historically, in the 60’s the Institute’s nuclear research activity was concentrated around the Russian U120 Cyclotron, built in 1958. This cyclotron provided beams of deuterons of energy up to 14.5 MeV and of alpha particles up to 29 MeV. A small 48 cm pole-piece cyclotron with was in-house designed and constructed, and used for many years to perform PIXE analyses and RBA material studies. Executive Summary In 1960’s, the nuclear spectroscopy group began building several types of magnetic beta ray spectrometers with the aim to study excited levels of neutron-deficient isotopes provided by the 660 MeV cyclotron of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna. In parallel, studies of spin polarization of neutrons and protons emitted in the deuteron stripping reaction were performed. Studies of condensed matter using neutron beams from the pulsed IBR30 reactor at Dubna and a mechanically bunched beam of the nuclear reactor at Kjeller (Norway) had also began. The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance signal was first observed in Poland by a group of physicists from the Jagiellonian University, and a well equipped NMR Laboratory was also created at the Institute. A small theoretical physics department was also established at the Institute to support experimental research. Applied physics, based on the research performed in the Institute was also developed. Following the interest in fast neutron radiotherapy, initiated by the Gray Laboratory in Hammersmith, England, a beam of fast neutrons was produced on a Be target by 13.5 MeV deuterons from the U120 and applied for cancer therapy, in a collaborative effort with the Centre of Oncology in Krakow. Over a period of ten years, some 500 patients were treated, quite successfully in selected types of salivary gland cancer and post-mastectomy recurrences. In the late 60’s an original technology of producing thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) was developed at the Institute, based on specially activated lithium fluoride. The method was patented and TLDs, manufactured at the IFJ, are nowadays routinely applied by dosimetry services and hospitals in over 30 countries. The Institute had an important role to play during and after the Chernobyl accident, by serving the population of Kraków and of Poland with accurate measurements of radioactive contamination of air, soil and food. This work is being continued, with a permanent early-warning and monitoring station at the Institute, an important element of the national radiation monitoring system. After 38 years of operation the U-120 cyclotron was decommissioned and replaced by an inhouse constructed 144 cm pole-piece AIC-144 isochronous cyclotron able to accelerate protons up to 60 MeV, which is now used to produce short-lived beta-plus isotopes and will be able to provide a proton beam for treating patients with ocular melanoma. The small 48-cm cyclotron was replaced by a 2.5 MeV pressurized Van de Graaff accelerator acquired from Strasbourg. With a microbeam capacity, it serves to continue and further develop the interdisciplinary research in cell biology, archeology and material structure. The particle and high energy physics group, which joined the Institute in 1970, had originated from the Cosmic Ray Studies group initiated in 1938 by Professor Marian Mięsowicz at the Academy of Mining and Metallurgy in Kraków. The high energy Executive Summary 3 To better understand the historical background of the Institute’s development, it is perhaps necessary to add a few comments on financing of science in Poland over the last decades. During the 70’s and the 80’s, research in Poland was financed through the so-called Central Research Projects for Science and Technical Development. The advantage of this system was that state-allocated research funds were divided only by a few representatives of the scientific community, which allowed realistic allocation of money to a small number of projects, enabling larger projects to be undertaken, such as the fast neutron radiotherapy project at our Institute. After 1989 we were able to purchase commercially available equipment for scientific research, which led to the closure of our large and very experienced electronic workshop. We also considerably reduced our mechanical shop which had been well equipped at the early days of the Institute. During the 90’s the drastically reduced state financing of science was accompanied by a newly established Committee of Scientific Research elected democratically by all scientists with a PhD degree, which led to the creation of a system of small peer-reviewed research projects (grants) for individual scientists or small groups (2-3 year projects, each funded to about 30-40 kEuro per project). This precluded the development of more ambitious research projects and led to the dispersion of scientific equipment among many smaller laboratories and universities. A large research establishment, such as our Institute, could not develop properly under such conditions. In all, between 1989 and 2004 we reduced our personnel from about 800 to 470 and our infrastructure became seriously undercapitalised. However, with energetic search for research funds, from European rather than national research programs, we hope to improve and modernize our laboratories and their infrastructure in the coming years. Executive Summary physics group, initially connected with accelerators of the JINR at Dubna, was later able to successfully expand to CERN and DESY, becoming in the 80’s and 90’s one of the main streams of the Institute’s research activities. The theoretical physics group had also expanded, engaging in particle theory and astrophysics. Our involvement in particle and high energy physics gave the Institute further international recognition and prestige. As a member state, Poland has joined the JINR in Dubna and the CERN Laboratory in Geneva. We take part in assembling the LHC, the largest collider in the world. We entered the ATLAS, ALICE, and LHCb collaborations and may possibly join the CASTOR project. We took part in constructing the HERA collider at DESY and are collaborators in the large ZEUS and H1 projects. We joined the TESLA project at its inception. Within the ZEUS collaboration we designed, constructed and built the luminosity detector based on registration of e–p bremsstrahlung. At the RHIC heavy ion collider we constructed a large part of the PHOBOS detector and within this collaboration we made an important contribution to the discovery of the new state of hadronic matter excited to high density which has a property of strongly absorbing jets. Within the BELLE collaboration at KEK (Tsukuba, Japan) we took part in the most accurate measurements of the CP violation effects in the decay of B mesons. Our scientists participate in experiments performed at GANIL, Legnaro and GSI. We carry out condensed matter physics experiments at the High Flux Reactor of The Laue Langevin Institute (not being a member state of ILL) and the ISIS spallation source at Rutherford-Appleton. Recently, we very actively entered the ICARUS neutrino collaboration at Gran Sasso and were invited to the large PIERRE AUGER international collaboration which will search for the highest energies in the Universe. Having close ties with CERN we are very actively engaged in CROSS-GRID, a large computer network project which will immensely increase our computing capability for data analysis in the future. 4 Executive Summary 3. Overview Professor Andrzej Budzanowski was Director of IFJ in the years 1990-2004. On September 1st 2004, on IFJ joining the Polish Academy of Sciences, Professor Marek Jeżabek has been nominated by the President of PAN as the Director of IFJ, for a 4-year term. Our Institute, with a personnel of 450 (182 research staff) and over 50 Ph.D. students, is presently one of the largest institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences and one of the largest research institutes in Poland. The scientific staff consists on 120 post-doctoral researchers, 26 Associated Professors (doktor habilitowany) and 36 StateNominated Professors (see Annex B). The total budget of the Institute for the year 2004 was about 6.6 million Euro. The IFJ is financed mainly from the state budget of the Ministry of Scientific Research and Information Technology. In 2004 this financing was about 4 million Euro, constituting 72% of the Institute’s total budget. The remaining part of our 2004 budget came from individual research projects, also sponsored by the Ministry of Scientific Research (910 kEuro), from international projects (981 kEuro) and from the Institute’s entrepreneurship activities (546 kEuro). Between 2003 and 2004 the income from international projects increased fivefolds. For further budget information, see Annex C. Executive Summary The Scientific Council of the Institute, which consists of 40 elected members of the Institute’s staff and 4 external members (elected representatives from other Polish institutes and universities), is authorized to confer Ph.D. degrees in Physics and related disciplines, and to initiate and conduct habilitation and professorship procedures. In 2003–2004 17 Ph.D. theses and 11 habilitations have been completed. Following their review procedures, 3 Associate Professors at the IFJ became state-nominated Professors, receiving their nominations from Poland’s President, Mr. A. Kwaśniewski. (see Annex A) The Institute is structured into 17 scientific departments which cover the range of our scientific interests (see Annex A). A summary of our main scientific achievements in the years 2003–2004, is presented below. The scientific activities of the Institute in 2004 are structured into 7 main topics and sub-divided into 48 tasks. More detailed reports on these activities, including the project title, name of task leader, main objectives, budget, involvement in national and international projects, technical infrastructure, related publications, main achievements, plans for the incoming years and long term plans, are presented in Annex E. In 2004 IFJ was awarded by Professor Kleiber, the Minister of Scientific Research and Information Technology, for successfully entering five major projects of the 6th Framework European Program. According to the current requirements of the Ministry of Scientific Research and Information Technology, the quality of scientific output of Poland’s research establishments is currently measured chiefly by the number of ISI-listed publications. Over the two-year period (years 2003 and 2004) our research staff had published 322 and 366 papers in international journals listed in the Philadelphia ISI Master list, and 139 and 116 other publications, in the form of books, reviews, chapters in scholarly textbooks, papers and reports. The entire list of IFJ publications for the years 2003 and 2004 is given in Annex F. Apart from scientific departments, the Institute has three technical sections (Annex A.6). The main accelerator facilities in the IFJ are the AIC-144 isochronous cyclotron, Executive Summary 5 the 2.5 MeV proton Van de Graaff accelerator and a 14 MeV neutron generator. A list of our major research facilities and of their general specifications, is given in Annex D. Two EU-accredited Dosimetry Laboratories, providing individual and environmental dosimetry and calibration of radiation protection instruments, operate at the Institute. A radiation monitoring station at the IFJ provides continuous data on ambient dose rate and on the radioactive contamination of air to the Polish National Atomic Agency. The Institute is able to provide regional authorities with radiation emergency support, should such need arise. Advanced post-graduate courses in specialised physics topics are given to 55 students of the International Post-Graduate Study Course at the IFJ. These courses are attended by students from universities of several countries. (Annex A6). 4. Future plans In order to maintain our present world-level research, we have to continue and further extend our participation in large international collaborations, in the construction of large detectors and to seek further financial support from EU and various international organizations. For experimental particle physics, our priorities remain in collaborating with major European and world laboratories such as CERN, DESY, Gran Sasso, Fermilab, KEK, SLAC and with laboratories developing astrophysics experiments, such as the PIERRE AUGER experiment. Collaboration in the field of nuclear physics, physics of condensed matter, theoretical physics and interdisciplinary research should be continued with leading European laboratories offering access to large accelerator facilities (such as GANIL or GSI), to synchrotron radiation or to unique polarized neutron beams, such as those available at ILL Grenoble. An exiting new frontier in research for our research teams will be opened by the X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) in DESY and the future International Linear Collider. We will be able to further invest towards upgrading our small-scale facilities, such as the infrastructure around the Van de Graaff accelerator, in order to perform single-ion beam experiments, or around the isochronous AIC-144 cyclotron, to treat ocular melanoma, using the 60 MeV proton beam, in close collaboration with ophthalmologists at the Collegium Medicum (Jagiellonian University) and radiotherapists at the Centre of Oncology. Our Institute is capable of providing PETisotopes to the local medical community. We will continue to upgrade our technical infrastructure and research equipment basing on Structural Funds of the European Commission. We are able to achieve this through our Centres of Excellence and Centres of Advanced Technologies. Executive Summary Our Institute has sufficient scientific potential to play a key role in the field of particle physics, nuclear physics and in several aspects of solid state and applied physics, at least in our part of Europe. We believe the Institute should continue its present mode of operation, where basic research, closely coordinated through our collaboration with leading laboratories all over the world, stimulates our interdisciplinary research and technology transfer to the industry and to spin-off companies. We hope to maintain our versatility by seeking a proper balance between basic and applied research. If our present scientific potential is matched by suitably modernized infrastructure, we should be able to acquire the critical mass necessary for further effective development. 6 Executive Summary We will further continue to strongly support the application of methods of nuclear physics in biological and medical research, such as single-ion studies of the effects of low-radiation doses, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance research in physiology, the Atomic Force microscope for studying properties of cell and membranes, the chromosome aberration/DNA studies for biological dosimetry, or advanced dosimetry techniques for medical physics and space dosimetry. We shall also continue our obligation to serve the national and local authorities with our expertise in radiation protection and dosimetry. We would like to become a national leader in individual and environmental dosimetry services based on thermoluminescence technology in-house developed in our Institute and to further build our capacity for monitoring environmental pollution, including monitoring of environmental radioactivity and of radon. It is necessary for all our radiation dosimetry laboratories to acquire European accreditation. Executive Summary Presently, Poland has no nuclear power and imports about 80% of her gas and 98% of her oil supplies. We intend to further support the development of geophysical methods for searching natural resources. In view of the current discussion on the future sources of energy in Poland, our Institute will actively engage in promoting nuclear energy, based on new-generation reactor technology. We will be actively seeking the opportunity of maintaining the tradition of our Institute being focused around its major accelerator facility. While the present AIC-144 cyclotron is no longer adequate for treatment of deep-seated tumors, a medium-sized synchrotron able to accelerate light ions to energies of some several hundred MeV/amu, capable of generating ion beams suitable for light-ion radiotherapy, could fulfill this role, stimulating a renewal of our past close collaboration with radiotherapists in fighting cancer. Such radiotherapy centres are currently under development in other parts of the European Community. We will actively seek the opportunities to obtain external funding for this purpose. However, we are fully aware of the difficulty of introducing cutting-edge medical technology to the Polish national health care system, in view of the immediate needs of this seriously undercapitalized service of our 40-million community. We need to devote special attention to further training our personnel. The present potential of the Institute allows our research group to participate in the most ambitious projects and collaborations. Availability of such highly educated and experienced technical staff is absolutely essential for performing this type of work. Such personnel is not usually available at universities, where the potential is spread-out to a much larger extent. We would like to maintain our group of engineers specialized in the development and construction of detectors, dedicated electronics and software needed for experimental physics. One of the principal goals of the Institute is to promote professional careers of young researchers in Poland. We would like to increase the participation of undergraduate and graduate (Ph.D.) students and short-term postdoctoral researchers, originating from Europe and outside, in activities of the research groups in the Institute. We plan to strengthen our cooperation with universities and technical universities in southern Poland (Kraków, Rzeszów, Kielce, Katowice and others) by teaching students and providing our laboratories and expertise to help them complete their theses. Further development of our International Post-Graduate Study Course, in collaboration with other institutions in the European Research Area, will be strongly supported. 7 M A I N A C HI E V E M E N T S 20 03 – 2 00 4 I. PARTICLE PHYSICS I.1 Experimental particle physics The groups of experimental physicists working at the IFJ PAN are actively engaged in the most topical research at the frontiers of contemporary particle physics in the world. Participation in a modern high energy physics experiment implies direct involvement in all stages of a large international collaboration, starting with Monte Carlo modelling of the experiment, contributing to the construction of the detector, running the experiment and performing the analysis of collected data. Nowadays, the whole cycle takes about 20 years. At present, the experimental teams from IFJ PAN contribute to the final data analyses from the DELPHI experiment at LEP (CERN), the NA49 experiment at SPS (CERN) and the pp2pp experiment at RHIC (BNL). The on-going experiments with IFJ PAN participation are: ZEUS and H1 at HERA (DESY), Belle at KEKB (KEK) and PHOBOS at RHIC (BNL). The Auger cosmic ray experiment in Argentina is currently gathering data and concurrently completing the detector assembly, while the ICARUS neutrino experiment at Gran Sasso is approaching this phase. The future of particle physics at IFJ PAN is the LHC (CERN) experimental programme with our participation in the ATLAS, ALICE and LHCb experiments, and our contribution to the LHC Computing Grid and in the construction of the accelerator. Another future activity for the IFJ PAN is concerned with the International Linear Collider (ILC), where the IFJ team contributes to the study group on the luminosity monitor. Often the technologies developed or applied in high energy physics experiments are transferred to other fields. A recent example of this “spin-off” technology are carbon-carbon composites which are now finding several applications in industry and medicine. In the following we shortly present the above activities mentioning the most important results obtained in the years 2003-2004. Highlights In Particle Physics Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 8 Highlights In Particle Physics e+e– interactions DELPHI [101]* Precise studies of the intermediate bosons Z, W and searches for phenomena beyond the Standard Model of elementary particles were the main purposes for this experiment, which had finished data taking in the year 2000. Now the DELPHI experiment is in the phase of publishing final results of several analyses. One of the most important topics is the determination of the mass and couplings of the W boson using the data sample collected in the centre-of-mass energy range between 172 and 209 GeV. The mass of the W boson measured by DELPHI and published in 2004, is 80.404±0.074 GeV (LEP average: 80.412±0.042 GeV). This precise estimate provides an important test of the Standard Model. Other interesting studies, performed entirely at the IFJ PAN in the years 2003 – 2004, concern Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac correlations of pairs of identical hadrons. Correlations of pairs of charged π mesons in the difference of their azimuthal angle (a method unique at LEP) were studied using a sample of hadronic events, collected at the centre-of-mass energies corresponding to the mass of the Z boson. BoseEinstein interference enhancement was observed in the two-particle correlation function yielding the measurement of the spatial transverse radius of the source of 0.591±0.015±0.034 fm. The⎯p⎯p correlations were studied in their four-momenta difference (Q). A depletion in the correlation function was observed for Q<2 GeV. This was attributed to the effect of Fermi-Dirac statistics and the source radius of 0.16±0.04±0.03 fm was determined. Belle [104] The Belle experiment at the KEKB asymmetric electron-positron collider (Tsukuba, Japan) is aimed at the search for the CP-violating phenomena in the family of beauty mesons. In 2004 the Belle collaboration using a substantial sample of 275 million pairs of B mesons, reported evidence of direct CP violation in the decay B 0 → K + π − . The measured CP asymmetry : ACP N ( B 0 → K −π + ) − N ( B 0 → K + π − ) = -0.101 ± 0.025 ± 0.005 = N ( B 0 → K −π + ) + N ( B 0 → K + π − ) This result is an important confirmation of the Kobayashi-Maskawa CPviolation mechanism. Among IFJ contributions to the experiment one should mention participation in the Belle Silicon Vertex Detector upgrade. The main topics of data analyses concerned studies of B decays with b→s and b→⎯ccs transitions and precise determination of masses and branching fractions of the Ξc. e p interactions ZEUS [102] The aim of the ZEUS experiment is to investigate e+/e-+p interactions at the highest available energies (~ 300 GeV in the centre of mass). One of the most important components of the ZEUS detector is the luminosity monitor (see photo), which has been designed, constructed and tested by the Kra* Figures in square brackets refer to the IFJ PAN Internal Project Numbering. 9 kow IFJ PAN and the University of Science and Technology (AGH) teams. The group was responsible for the detector upgrade and maintains its operation. The contribution of the IFJ physicists to the ZEUS data analysis is also remarkable. This includes studies of the multihadronic final states and a very complex measurement of the photoproduction total cross section. During the years 2003–2004 the group continued studies of multihadronic final states and performed the analysis of the photoproduction of vector mesons. H1 [103] The main interest of research of the H1 collaboration is to measure the structure of the proton, to study the fundamental interactions between particles, and to search for physics beyond the Standard Model of the elementary particles. Tasks carried out by the H1 IFJ group include: coordination and supervising of generation of the Monte Carlo events at a PC-farm at DESY, study of QCD evolution mechanisms through the analysis of the forward jet production, glueball production and strangeness production mechanism based on the analysis of the final states involving K0s K0s and the search for deep inelastic scattering on QCD instantons at high Q2. The most important H1 result in 2004 was the observation of a resonance state at 3099 MeV decaying into D*p, which can be tentatively identified with the charmed pentaquark (uudd anti-c) High energy heavy ion interactions NA49 [105] The NA49 experiment is aimed at studying heavy ion interactions at relativistic energies, using beams from the SPS accelerator at CERN. It has been running since 1994 until 2003. Our contribution to the NA49 detector includes the development, construction and maintenance of the low-voltage power supplies for the Time Projection Chambers. We also constructed the mechanical manipulator for handling read-out chambers for the main TPC. In 2003 the NA49 collaboration announced the observation of a narrow Ξ −π − baryon resonance with a mass of 1.86 GeV, corresponding to a highly exotic pentaquark particle. The contribution of the IFJ team to the NA49 data analyses concerns the very important question of the role Highlights In Particle Physics Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 Highlights In Particle Physics 10 Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 of the nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-nucleus interactions in the description of the nucleus-nucleus interactions. During the last two years, further evidence for the factorisation of the final state baryon number and its separation into target and projectile components in elementary hadronic collisions has been gathered. PHOBOS [107] In the field of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, exciting physics is provided by the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The experimental results from PHOBOS and from other RHIC experiments, reported in 2003 – 2004, indicate that a new state of matter is formed in the most central Au+Au collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 200 GeV. This new state of matter is characterized by a high energy density, about six times the energy density inside nucleons and about twenty times the energy density of nuclei. Therefore, this new state is not describable in terms of colour-neutral hadrons. Furthermore, the constituents of this novel system are found to interact strongly. Evidence for the strongly interacting nature of the system is based on measurements of the momentum space anisotropy and the suppression of the production of hadrons with high transverse momentum (pT). For illustration, the figure shows PHOBOS data on RAA, the ratio of charged hadron yields in central Au+Au collisions, relative to p+p data, scaled by the nuclear thickness. The observed suppression (RAA << 1) is due to the energy loss by the fast partons propagating through a dense medium. Additional evidence is provided by the yields of particles at very low pT, a measurement unique to PHOBOS and exclusively performed by the IFJ PAN group. Astroparticle physics AUGER [108] The Pierre Auger Project is aimed at the study of ultra high energy cosmic rays, i.e. those with energies exceeding 1019 eV, using a giant hybrid cosmic ray detection system. The Pierre Auger Observatory will consist of two parts located in the Southern and Northern hemispheres. The construction of the Southern Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina is progressing well, with one third of the surface array and half of the fluorescence detectors completed so far. The Auger The status of the Pierre Auger Observatory as of Nov. 30, 2004. Dots indicate individual surface detectors: Observatory is already the largest cosalready installed (the blue area) and to be installed (the mic ray detector system in the world. rosy area). Completion of the Southern site is planned in 2006. 11 The IFJ PAN group contributed to the construction of the fluorescence telescopes and is now engaged in preparing algorithms for Auger data analysis. In particular, in the years 2003 – 2004, a procedure to determine the fraction of photons among the ultra high energy cosmic rays has been developed, based on analysis of photon preshowering effect in the geomagnetic field. This procedure was applied to existing data from the Fly’s Eye and AGASA experiments which led to the determination of a preliminary upper limit of the photon fraction in ultra high energy cosmic rays. So far this is the only experimental limit in the energy range above 1020 eV. Neutrino physics ICARUS [109] The physics programme of the ICARUS experiment at Gran Sasso includes studies of neutrino interactions and oscillations, and the search for proton decay. The ICARUS detector, built of large Time Projection Chambers filled with Liquid Argon, allows for efficient and practically background free measurements of these rare phenomena. The first fully equipped detector module successfully passed surface tests with cosmic rays during the summer of 2001. In the years 2003-2004 analyses of the test data demonstrated the detector’s excellent performance. The results include the first observation of Cherenkov light emission in LAr (in addition to scintillation light) and the most precise determination of the recombination parameter in LAr. In December 2004 the first two modules (for 600 tons of LAr) of the ICARUS detector were transported to the Gran Sasso laboratory. The Polish groups (including the IFJ team) joined the ICARUS experiment in June 2000. One of the Polish contributions and responsibilities is to produce anode wires for four additional detector modules. During the year 2004 the anode wire production laboratory has been installed and equipped at IFJ PAN (see photo) as a result of the joint effort of physicists and engineers from Katowice, Warsaw and Krakow. Another fascinating, interdisciplinary study concerns the possibility of locating an underground neutrino laboratory in a salt rock of the Sieroszowice mine. Measurements done in 2004 at IFJ and at theUniversity of Silesia have shown that the advantage of this location would be its exceptionally low level of natural radioactivity. Highlights In Particle Physics Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 12 Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 Highlights In Particle Physics LHC scientific programme ATLAS [110] In the years 2003-2004 the Krakow IFJ PAN ATLAS group continued successfully its participation in the preparation of the physics programme and in the design and construction of the spectrometer components, as defined in the ATLAS MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) and described in the Institute research plans. The simulation studies concentrated on the identification of B-jet tagging with soft electrons, Higgs decaying into tau-tau pairs, and the preparation of the ATLAS heavy ion LoI (Letter of Intent). The Polish Minister of Scientific Research and Information Technology, Prof. Michal Kleiber, with the members of the delegation, the ATLAS spokesman, Dr Peter Jenni, and the members of the IFJ PAN ATLAS group in front of ATLAS supports produced in Poland, assembled at CERN. The contribution to the SCT tracker included development, production (more than 4000 channels at “Fideltronik Imel”) and testing of the detector bias system, and testing of about 400 hybrid circuits for silicon detector modules. The developments for the TRT tracker focused on the control and monitoring system prototypes for beam tests and final assembly hall at CERN, and on the gas gain stabilisation system. Studies on the ATLAS DAQ and EF (event filter) included simulation of high level trigger architecture, studies on the use of distributed computing resources and the construction of a quad S-Link 66 MHz readout. For the physics simulation and data analysis a local computing cluster is under development, which has been integrated with the LCG1 grid (Sept. 2003), and on which simulation of ATLAS DC1 and DC2 events have been done (about 1% of the total number of events). Four ATLAS supports (load capacity 360 - 1600 tons) were designed and computed, and they have been constructed at BudimexMostostal S.A. and ZM HTS Krakow. These results have been achieved in close collaboration of several IFJ PAN groups, the University of Science and Technology AGH, local industry (Fideltronik Imel; BIS design office, Mostostal-Budimex S.A., ZM HTS) and the ATLAS collaboration. Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 13 Ion Collider Experiment) is a dedicated heavy ion experiment at CERN Large Hadron Collider. At present the ALICE detector (schematically shown in the figure) is in the construction and testing phase. The responsibility of the IFJ PAN ALICE team is the participation in the validation of the Monte Carlo code, as well as in the analysis of the test data from the Time Projection Chamber prototype. IFJ PAN contributes financially to the construction of the TPC readout chambers. For the last two years the team members have analysed the data coming from the test module of the ALICE TPC, irradiated with cosmic rays and exposed at the accelerator test beam at CERN. The results will be used for the final decisions concerning the choice of the working gas, design of the gas system and heat screens of the detector. The group also participates in the design of the CASTOR calorimeter, the main physical motivation of which is the study of various “exotic” phenomena, such as centauros and strangelets. LHCb [112] The main goal of the experiment is to make precise studies of CP symmetry violation and of rare decays in the B-meson system. The CP asymmetry is one of the three conditions required to explain the domination of matter over antimatter in the Universe. The crucial element of the LHCb experiment is the trigger system which should be able to reduce the incoming data stream by a factor of 106. In 2003 the Krakow LHCb Group developed a method of fast momentum calculation at the second level trigger (L1), which enhanced enormously the efficiency and robustness of the on-line event selection. During 2004 the method was upgraded and now is accepted as a basic LHCb L1 trigger algorithm. The figure illustrates the expected performance of the L1 trigger. The efficiency for the typical signal B events is shown as a function of minimum bias events retention. For the off-line selected events (upper curve) the efficiency at the chosen working point, indicated by a vertical line, is 80 %. Highlights In Particle Physics ALICE [111] (A Large Highlights In Particle Physics 14 Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 Lamination technology on the basis of a carbon composite has been proposed by the LHCb team from IFJ PAN for the production of panels (see figure), which are the basic construction elements of the Outer Tracker. All necessary equipment has been designed and produced in Krakow. Excellent agreement between calculated and measured mechanical parameters (Young module) has been obtained. Production of four kinds of panels (>500m2) was completed in 2004. LCG [701] To prepare an infrastructure for LHC computing in Krakow the IFJ ATLAS group has started the grid initiative in collaboration with the Academic Computing Centre Cyfronet (AGH), which developed into the CrossGrid European project, Krakow becoming its coordinator. As the result, and thanks to the support of the Polish State Committee for Scientific Research (KBN), a cluster of 80 processors has been assembled together with a 3 TB disk matrix. In 2003 a part of this cluster has been connected to the LHC Computing Grid (LCG), being amongst the first of 14 world institutions. Now the Krakow group participates in massive and distributed preparation of Monte Carlo samples for the experiment, called the ATLAS Data Challenge (DC). The Kraków resources were used in ATA snapshot of the LCG operation illustrating the extension of the LHC LAS DC 1 (2003) Computing Grid, including the Krakow computing cluster. for production of 50 000 and 20 000 simulated and pile-up events respectively, which represented 1% of total ATLAS production. Originally, the process was human driven, however now, using LCG-2 software, it is controlled by the ATLAS “virtual organization” (VO), located at CERN. In 2004 another set of events was generated at the Krakow cluster, under the ATLAS DC2. Up to now about 1 % of the whole ATLAS production has been performed at Krakow, which is reflected in ATLAS reports and publications. Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 15 In the years 2003-2004 the group of engineers and technicians from the IFJ PAN made a significant contribution to the ATLAS detector and to the LHC machine, working at CERN. The activities for ATLAS were: • coordination of the design, manufacturing and installation of the gas and cooling systems for the whole experiment, • Installation of cooling systems for the Inner Detector and Liquid Argon Calorimeter, • completion of the engineering project for the installation of the ATLAS muon chambers. Among others, the project included a partial manufacturing of the tooling at the IFJ PAN (see photo), • coordination and supervision of the design and installation of the Inner Detector services. Most of the work for the LHC accelerator is and will be done in the framework of the agreement of cooperation, signed between CERN and IFJ PAN in July 2003. Our contribution agreed upon is the inspection and control of the assembly process in the LHC tunnel. Two groups of the IFJ technicians will supervise the assembling process: the interconnection inspection team, responsible for quality assurance of connections of all accelerator systems between adjacent LHC magnets and the electrical inspection team, responsible for verification of all electrical connections for the supply systems of the LHC magnets. A part of the necessary tooling has been designed and built at IFJ PAN. Since summer 2003 the engineer from IFJ has been responsible for the coordination and supervision of the mechanical part of cold tests of all LHC super-conducting magnets. International Linear Collider Detector for ILC [113] The very forward region of the general purpose detector proposed for the International Linear collider (ILC) is a particularly challenging area. The purpose of the special R&D program is to develop technologies suitable for instrumentation in this region. In the case of TESLA Detector, three calorimeters: BeamCal (measurements of the beam parameters and fast beam monitoring), LumiCal (luminosity measurements) and PhotoCal (measurements of the beam parameters from beamstrahlung photons) are planned. The group from IFJ PAN is a part of the International Forward Calorimeter Collaboration (FCAL). The IFJ team (together with colleagues from Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science of the AGH and from the Jagiellonian University) concentrates on the studies related to the LumiCal, the calorimeter with Silicon – Tungsten structure as a preferred technology. Such a detector will allow for a high precision O(10−4) luminosity measurement using the Bhabha scattering process. To Highlights In Particle Physics Work at CERN [113] Highlights In Particle Physics 16 Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 fulfill this task, very high precision in the construction of the mechanical frame and of the detector internal structure are required. Highly integrated silicon sensors readout electronics should be created. In addition also the actual position of the calorimeter relative to the beam interaction area should be known with the accuracy of a few micrometers. The detailed Monte Carlo simulations for detector optimization, which have been performed at IFJ, in the years 2003 – 2004, take all these aspects into account. Based on these simulations, we have proposed the layout of the silicon strip sensors, the design of the mechanical frame and the first steps towards the final alignment of the LumiCal detector. Carbon-carbon Composites [114] There is a long tradition at IFJ PAN of building light mechanical structures from composite materials for detectors in high energy physics experiments. With time, this activity has also evolved into purely technological developments and into applications outside particle physics. The figure shows an artificial heart valve disc made of carbon-carbon composites at IFJ PAN in 2003. A special device for long-term testing of such structures has also been designed and manufactured at IFJ PAN in 2004. The apparatus makes it possible to determine the fatigue properties of disc samples. This work was performed in collaboration with the Department of Biomaterials, Faculty of Materials, Engineering and Ceramics, of the AGH in Kraków. I.2 Theoretical particle physics [115, 116] Applications of QCD In the theory of deep inelastic scattering a novel analysis of the gluon splitting function at moderately low values of the Bjorken x variable has been carried out. The analysis includes a resummation of subleading corrections in the logarithm of the x variable. In a study of the parton saturation mechanism we have performed a detailed calculation of nonlinear shadowing corrections to the QCD evolution equations via analysis of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation. We have also completed detailed numerical and analytic studies of the evolution of unintegrated parton distributions in the so-called one-loop CCFM scheme (Kwiecinski equations in the transverse coordinate space) and explored numerous applications of the results, in particular to the description of the Tevatron and RHIC data, heavyflavor photoproduction, W-boson production, as well as azimuthal correlation functions. We have also explained the asymmetry of positive and negative particle production at SPS at moderate transverse momenta. We were able to construct a new two-component model of the photon-proton cross section. Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 17 We have calculated the bosonic correcions to MW and although they gave a small numerical contribution, they completed one of very few first two loop results within the standard model. We also recalculated the fermionic part and established a new correct value. Recently we published a full result for the fermionic electroweak corrections to sin 2 Θ lept eff .It is of great importance, as numerically the prediction for MH is shifted to higher values, working in favour of the Standard Model. Both results, for MW and sin 2 Θ lept eff , are included in ZFITTER and used in global fits of the Electroweak Working Group. We have further developed the PHOTOS program, which is crucial to the analysis of experiments such as ATLAS, CMS, D0, CDF, Belle, BaBar, NA48 or KTeV. We have also developed a Monte-Carlo package for the specific background processes to the Higgs boson searches at LHC. In the years 2003 – 2004 we have completed the almost 10-year long project of precise calculation of production and decay of W-boson at LEP II and higher energies. As a result of this project we have constructed two dedicated Monte Carlo programs: KORALW and YFSWW3. The KORALW simulates all four-fermion processes at the Born-level, which constitute background for the production of W-pairs. We have provided a simultaneous resolution of two many-decades-old puzzles in weak hyperon decays by linking in a parameter-free way the amplitudes describing the nonleptonic hyperon decays to those relevant for weak radiative hyperon decays. In this way we were able to explain the experimentally observed differences of SU(3) amplitudes determined from the S- and P-waves of nonleptonic hyperon decays and simultaneously provide a successful description of the salient features of weak radiative hyperon decays. In particular, in the sector of weak radiative hyperon decays the resolution of the conflict between Hara's theorem and the constituent-quark-model predictions was given. It was shown that aplication of quark model ideas through the constituent quark model route is erroneous, while the proper route is that through the symmetry of quark currents. Thus, a difference in the predictions of Gell-Mann and Zweig approches to quarks was located and resolved in favour of Gell-Mann. We have also shown via an explicit calculation how all inelastic final-state interactions (FSI) combine modifying in turn the short-range amplitudes in B-meson decays. It was demonstrated that with FSI taken into account it was possible to achieve good fits to B-meson decays with the Standard Model values for the parameters of the Unitarity Triangle. In a related study a new estimate of the charmed penguin contribution was given. Relativistic heavy-ion collisions Another major topic of our research which resulted in many successful calculations is relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In particular, we have obtained a good description of the azimuthal asymmetry in particle spectra at RHIC and performed a calculation of the elliptic flow coefficient in the framework of the statistical model of particle production. We have published a numerical program SHARE implementing the thermal model (the Kraków model) of particle production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The program is useful in the analysis and understanding of heavy-ion data. We have also described particle correlations (balance functions) and resonance production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In an attempt to understand the thermalization process, we have proposed a model explaining the thermal spectra in terms of the Schwinger tunneling mechanism of particle production in an oscillating chromoelectric field. It has also Highlights In Particle Physics Electroweak physics and radiative corrections Highlights In Particle Physics 18 Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 been shown that in the presence of correlations in particle emission the measured HBT radii are related to the correlation range rather than to the size of the interaction volume. The earlier discussion of short-range correlations in configuration space is generalized to include also the important effects of correlations of particle momenta. A novel mechanism has been proposed to describe soft particle production in hadronic collisions, dominated by multiple gluon exchanges between partons from the colliding hadrons followed by radiation of hadronic clusters from the coloured partons distributed uniformly in rapidity. This mechanism explains naturally two dominant features of the data: the linear increase of rapidity spectra in the regions of limiting fragmentation and the proportionality between the increasing width of the limiting fragmentation region and the height of the central plateau. Meson scattering In the field of meson scattering, we have carried out a new analysis of the kaon-antikaon photoproduction with the inclusion of the important effects of S- and P-wave interference. The Roy equations have been used in the analysis of the pion-pion interactions in isospin 0, 1, and 2 channels, which was essential in sorting out the correct solution for the scattering amplitude. Quark models In investigations of models of non-perturbative hadronic structure we have proposed the spectral chiral quark model, having the features of both the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry as well as the analytic quark confinement, which means the absence of poles in the quark propagator. The model is applicable to the description of both low- and high-energy processes involving pions. For instance, we were able to compute the generalized parton distributions, unitegrated parton distributions, pion light-cone wave function, etc. Nuclear matter In the fundamental field of the many-body problem of stronglyinteracting particles major successes were achieved. We have performed a fully consistent description of the dynamical response functions in strongly correlated fermionic systems and carried out a new self-consistent and symmetry-conserving calculation of the nucleon spectral function in asymmetric nuclear medium, connected to the analysis of vertex functions and self-energy corrections in medium. These studies have applications to studies of the nuclear medium as well as condensed matter. Electron cascades A potentially very important achievement was the formulation of a unified model based on Monte-Carlo simulation describing the formation of secondary electron cascades in solids. This allowed for an investigation of ionization by impact electrons in caused by secondary electron cascades that follow the absorption of an X-ray photon. Such effects are important in the applications of future free-electron lasers. Non-linear equations In mathematical investigations, applicable to a vast group of physics problems, we have performed a study of semilinear wave equations with a focusing nonlinearity. We then investigated the formation of singularities in the wave map model and in Yang-Mills theories. Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 19 Physical mechanisms responsible for generating flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies were identified, which serve the same role as dark matter component. We have shown that the Vaidya metric generates in the weak field approximation gravitational acceleration, which depends on radial distance in such a way that the galactic rotation curve is flat. Vaidya metric corresponds to gravity induced by a radial flow of energy. Also, large scale galactic magnetic field can contribute to the force governing the rotation curve of the gas component. One should also entertain other possibilities, such as modified gravity. We have considered formation of first luminous objects in a MOND-like cosmology, with modified gravitational acceleration applied only to the density excess over the mean density. It turned out that in such a model formation of first structures proceeds in a very similar way as in lambda-cold dark matter cosmology. Collapse of first clouds is thus slower than in the case of MOND acceleration applied to all the matter. In the latter case, first structures could form immediately after non-relativistic matter domination epoch starts. Neutrino cooling of neutron stars is determined by the properties of dense matter in the neutron star core. Presence of kaon-condensed matter enables fast cooling with modified URCA process possible. Hence modelling the kaon condensation in dense matter in neutron stars is of prime astrophysical importance. It was recently found that kaon condensation models based on effective lagrangians developed within chiral perturbation theory are thermodynamically inconsistent. This failure may indicate the presence of some major problem with those lagrangians. I.4 Foundations and extensions of quantum mechanics [117] We have solved the boson normal ordering problem for [q(a+)a + v(a+)]n with a single annihilation operator a and arbitrary functions q and v of the creation operator a+. Our method uses properties of exponential operators which generalize the shift operator, the action of which can be expressed in terms of substitutions. Solution to the normal ordering problem obtained in such a way is related to a special class of polynomials, called Sheffer polynomials, widely applied in combinatorics and umbral calculus. Normally ordered functions of creation and annihilation operators have been applied in order to investigate partition functions and the Green function generating functionals of model quantum systems Highlights In Particle Physics I.3 Theoretical astrophysics [117] 20 Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 Highlights In Nuclear Physics II. NUCLEAR PHYSICS Two Departments of our Institute are engaged in nuclear studies, in the following areas: studies of the nuclear reaction mechanism at low, intermediate and high energies, studies of nuclear structure by means of gamma spectroscopy, and theoretical research concerning nuclear structure and reaction mechanisms. Most of these studies are carried out in the form of international collaborations with the world-leading nuclear physics experimental facilities. Our physicists usually play an important role in these collaborative projects and often lead them. Nuclear structure experiments were performed mainly within the following European Large Scale Facilities: ALPI-INFN-Legnaro, VIVITRONIReS-Strasbourg, UNILAC/SIS-GSI-Darmstadt, K100-Cyclotron-Jyväskylä with the use of the GASP, GARFIELD, EUROBALL, ICARE, RISING+FRS, RITU+JUROGAM systems and with the application of RFD, HECTOR, DIAMANT, EUCLIDES ancillary detectors. Experimental data were also obtained at the Argonne National Laboratory, USA, with the GAMMASPHERE array and the ATLAS accelerator. In addition, we are involved in planning the experiments for the project of international accelerator facility of the next generation FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) at GSI. The nuclear reaction experiments were performed at the Joint Institute of Nuclear Physics in Dubna (collaborations FASA and COMBAS), in GANIL in Caen, in the Forschungszentrum Jülich at the accelerator COSY in the framework of collaboration PISA, as well as at the Warsaw Laboratory of Heavy Ions. The hadronic nuclear physics experiments were carried out exclusively at the Forschungszentrum Jülich where we have participated in international collaborations COSY11, GEM and HIRES. Recently, we have joined international detector project WASA planned at Forschungszentrum Jülich and plan to participate in the project PANDA, being constructed in GSI Darmstadt. Both detectors will be devoted to low and intermediate hadronic physics. We also participate in the following long-term projects which are currently being developed for nuclear structure studies: AGATA (Advanced Gamma Tracking Array), RISING (Rare Isotope Investigation) at GSI Darmstadt, PRISMA+CLARA spectrometer at LNL INFN, Legnaro and SPIRAL II (high intensity beams of neutron-rich exotic nuclei at energies of a few MeV per nucleon ideally suited for gamma-ray spectroscopic studies) at GANIL, Caen. Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 21 Mechanisms of nuclear reactions [201] New resonance states in light nuclei Properties of neutron reach light nuclei far from the stability line were studied, such as 5H, 6He, 8He or 9Li, to investigate the structures existing in those nuclei, e.g. t + t clustering in 6He, neutron configurations in α + 2n structure. The experiment was performed using 6He ions at the Dubna Radioactive Ion Beam facility and the 6He(p, 3H)4He reaction. Resonance scattering of 8He on the hydrogen target led to the determination of T = 5/2 states in 9Li. The experiment was performed at the ion separator Acculinna. Evidence for the low lying T = 3/2 isobaric analogue states in 5H and 5He nuclei was found. Mechanism of light-ion scattering to discrete states Angular distributions of the 7Li + 11B elastic and inelastic scattering were measured at 44 MeV for the transitions to the ground and excited states of 7Li and 11B. The results were analyzed with the optical model and coupled-reaction channel method. The deformation parameters of 7Li and 11B and energy dependence of 7Li* and 11B* optical potential parameters were obtained. Angular distributions of the 11B+14C elastic and inelastic scattering were measured at 45 MeV. The mechanism of the 11B + 14C anomalous large angle scattering was determined. Halo properties of the first excited states of 13C and 14C were demonstrated. Angular distributions of the 9Be(11B,10B)10Be were measured. Dominant one- and two-step transfers were found. The isotopic effect for the 9Be + 10B, 9Be + 11B and 10Be + 10B was analyzed. Angular distributions of the 13C + 11B elastic and inelastic scattering were measured at 45 MeV. The mechanism of the 13C + 11B anomalous large angle scattering was identified. The OM potential parameters for the 13C + 11B elastic scattering and deformation parameters of 13C and 11B were deduced. Using light ion beams (12C, 9B, 11B) of the U200P Warsaw Cyclotron several multistep reactions on light nuclei targets from 9Be to 28Si were studied. The motivation was to study the coupling between various reaction channels and optical potentials of unstable particles showing up in the intermediate states. Mechanism of dissipative collisions The element distributions, mass distributions of their isotopes as well as the velocity distributions of each isotope produced in the 18O + (9Be, 181Ta), 22Ne + (9Be, 181Ta), and 40Ar + (9Be, 181Ta, 197Au) reactions were measured at 0± for two energies, 35 AMeV and 40 AMeV. The element distributions show maxima at the Z -values of the projectiles, minima at Z = 3, 4 and then rapidly increase for Z = 2. The mass distributions are bell shaped and roughly fulfill the Qgg scaling. The shapes of velocity distributions depend on the number of exchanged nucleons but most of them show extended low velocity tails. Most of the velocity distributions demonstrate their maxima strictly at the projectile velocity. Model analysis, based on the Quantum Molecular Dynamics, fits reasonably well the element and mass distributions but fails in the case of velocity distributions. The production yields for the heaviest isotopes of light elements, such as 24O, 26F, and 29Ne, were observed and determined. Highlights In Nuclear Physics II.1 Experimental nuclear physics Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 22 Highlights In Nuclear Physics Excitation energy and spin determination at intermediate heavyion collisions A simple procedure for evaluating excitation energy and spin in heavy-ion dissipative collisions has been proposed. It is based on a prediction of the GEMINI evaporation code, that for a given excitation energy, the number of emitted c protons decreases with increasing spin, while the number of alpha particles increases. Using this procedure for the reaction 107Ag + 58Ni (52 MeV/nucleon), the excitation energy and spin of quasi-projectiles have been evaluated. The figure displays correlations between excitation energy and velocity of evaporation residues, and correlations between spin and excitation energy of nuclei formed in peripheral and mid-central collisions. The results obtained in this manner have been confronted with the predictions of a model describing the initial stage of heavy ion collisions. Proton-Induced Spallation Data concerning the reactions of protoninduced disintegration of C, Ni, Nb, Au at energies of 400, 1200, 1900, 2500 MeV have been collected within the PISA (Proton Induced SpAllation) experiment performed at the COSY (Cooler Synchrotron) in Jülich, Germany. The apparatus provides excellent detection capabilities allowing the isotopic composition of reaction products in the energy range from 0.5 MeV/nucleon up to 150 MeV/Nucleon to be distinguished. In effect, very precise energy and angular distributions of the reaction products were obtained. The specific structures and features of the distributions originating from various competitive reaction mechanisms can be discerned. Examples of energy distributions of 4He emitted from p + Au at 2.5 GeV for different detection angles are shown in the figure. Fits of the spectra in two energy regions show different contributions to the reaction mechanism. Theoretical analysis of the experimental results is in progress. 35° 50° 100° Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 23 The main decay mode of very excited nuclei is a copious emission of intermediate mass fragments (IMF), which are heavier than α-particles but lighter than fission fragments. The FASA project is concentrated on the investigation of thermal multifragmentation induced in heavy targets by relativistic light ions. The 4π-setup is installed at the external beam of Nuclotron. It was proved that thermal multifragmentation should be considered as a spinodal decompostion, which is the liquid-fog phase transition. Measurements of critical temperature for the liquid-gas phase transition were refined. This temperature was found to be (17 ± 2) MeV, which is significantly larger than the temperature of the fragmenting system (5-6 MeV). This is a very important observation in favour of the mechanism of spinodal disintegration. The space characteristics for the target multifragmentation in p(8.1GeV) + Au collisions were also determined experimentally. The inclusive experimental data on the fragment charge distribution, Y(Z), and kinetic energy spectra were analyzed within the framework of the statistical multifragmentation model. It is found from the shape of Y(Z) that the partition of hot nuclei is specified after expansion of the target spectator to a volume eąual to Vt= (2.9 ± 0.2) V0, with V0 being the volume at normal density. However, the freeze-out volume is found from the energy spectra to be Vf = (11 ± 3) V0. The first volume, Vt, corresponds to the configuration of the system at the top of the energy barrier for fragmentation, when charge distribution is specified. The other volume, Vf, corresponds to the multi-scission point in terms of ordinary fission. Search for time reversal violation An experiment aiming at the simultaneous determination of both components of the transversal polarization of electrons emitted in the decay of free, polarized neutrons has been driven to its data taking phase at the cold neutron facility FUNSPIN at the spallation source SINQ at PSI. The experimental setup including a Mott Polarimeter based on a Multiwire Proportional Chamber system has been completed and tested. Data from the commissioning run have been analyzed and show clear signal from time reversal symmetry conserving the transversal electron polarization component. This is the first observation of this quantity in the neutron decay. A regular data taking run has been completed. The data are now being analyzed. The collected statistics should allow the setting of initial limits on the time reversal violating transversal component of electron polarization. Highlights In Nuclear Physics Thermal multifragmentation and liquid-fog transition Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 24 Sub-shell closure in neutron-rich nuclei at N = 32 Recent investigations have shown that single particle structure in exotic nuclei may significantly differ from that known from studies of nuclei near the valley of stability. For example, Higher energy of the first 2+ state indicates increased stability due to sub-shell closure. it has been suggested that an energy gap at N=32 may occur in neutron-rich region of the nuclear chart. By identifying the yrast structures in 52,53,54,56Ti isotopes, the existence of the N = 32 sub-shell closure in neutron-rich nuclei was confirmed: the energy systematics of the first excited states 2+ showed a maximum in 54Ti (see figure) and, also in 54Ti, a large energy gap was found between the 6+ proton state and higher lying yrast structures involving neutron excitations from the νp3/2 orbital. On the other hand, new results obtained for 56Ti do not support the presence of a similar sub-shell closure at N = 34 suggested on the basis of shell model calculations. Jacobi shape transition in hot, rapidly rotating nuclei Studies of hot and fast rotating nuclei deliver very important information on the behaviour of nuclear matter under extreme conditions. One of the predicted phenomena in nuclei at very high spin and temperature is the Jacobi shape transition, which has been identified in hot, rapidly rotating 46Ti nucleus by a measurement of the gamma decay of the giant dipole resonance (GDR). The Coriolis splitting of the GDR strength has also been experimentally observed for the first time (see figure). Preferential feeding of the highly-deformed band in 42Ca by the low energy GDR component has been found. Comparison of experimental and theoretical GDR strength functions (LSD model with Coriolis effects) at high spins for 46Ti, suggesting presence of very elongated shapes due to the Jacobi shape transition. The low energy component at 10 MeV was found to be responsible for the population of the superdeformed (SD) band observed in 42Ca by high energy resolution spectroscopy measurement with the Recoil Filter Detector.

The superdeformed (SD) bands in 61Cu and 63Cu nuclei have been identified by the measurement of the gamma-recoil coincidences. Partial level scheme with a new superdeformed band discovered in the 61Cu nucleus is shown in the figure. Several linking transitions to the normal deformed bands have been also discovered giving the absolute excitation energies and spins of the superdeformed states in both nuclei (see figure). High spin states were identified in 207,208Pb isotopes extending to the states above I=26, which involve two-particle twohole core excitations - the record values of spin have been reached. The simple additivity rule was found to govern energies of octupole vibrations coupled with various multiparticle configurations. For the first time, in a very heavy nucleus 250Fm rotational ground-state band transitions have been observed using gamma-recoil and conversion-electrons-recoil tagging technique. A quadrupole deformation parameter of β2 = 0.28 of the nucleus has been measured. Non-yrast excitations have been also investigated by the gamma-gamma-recoil tagging method. In the search for the hyperdeformation a very long experiment was performed using the EUROBALL array at IReS. In the analysis an indication for the possible hyperdeformed structures in 122Xe was observed in the quasicontinuum region. Further analysis is in progress. Structure of exotic nuclei studied with relativistic radioactive beams Relativistic radioactive beams may serve as a new tool for studying the structure of exotic nuclei. High-resolution spectroscopy measurements with the radioactive beams at the relativistic energies were performed using the RISING setup at GSI Darmstadt (Germany). The energies of the first excited states and the B(E2)values in 58Cr (see figure) and 54Ni were measured for the first time. Doppler-corrected spectra showing the 2+→0+ transitions in 54,56,58Cr. The other peaks in the spectra are assumed to originate from neighboring nuclei which cannot currently be separated due to up to now insufficient mass resolution after the target. Highlights In Nuclear Physics tions of high spin structures have been pursued in different regions of the nu- 26 Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 Highlights In Nuclear Physics Physics of hadronic reactions [203] In addition to traditional nuclear physics, research related to purely hadronic physics as well as to intersection of hadronic and nuclear physics, is also carried out. This research is conducted mainly in collaboration with the Forschungszentrum Jülich. Quasi-bound eta-mesic states There is an interesting theoretical suggestion about the existence of quasi-bound “eta-mesic” nucleus. The theoretically predicted cross section for production of such object is of the order of a few nanobarns. To search for this new type of nuclear matter a large acceptance plastic scintillator detector ENSTAR has been constructed and tested. The reaction p + 12C → 3He + 10Beeta was investigated at recoil free kinematics of the elementary process p + d → 3He + h. Measurements of the angular dependence of the differential cross sections, the tensor polarization and the total cross section of the d(pol) + d → 4He + h reaction in a momentum range from threshold to 3.0 GeV/c beam momentum corresponding to an excess energy of Q = 230 MeV have been performed. Data analysis is in progress. The search for dibaryons One of the great open problems of intermediate energy physics is the question whether dibaryons exist. The motivation for this study is a small and narrow peak observed in the missing mass spectrum of the reaction p+p→K+ + X at SATURNE II. In order to verify the poor statistics of the Saclay results a new experiment was designed which makes use of the COSY accelerator and the BIG KARL spectrometer. The aim of the experiment was to search for the lowest strangeness (–1) dibaryons Ds and Dt. Quark model calculations predict such states about 55 and 95 MeV above the L-p threshold with invariant masses of 2109 and 2149 MeV. The reaction p + p → K+ + L + p below the Sigma production threshold has been investigated. To within 5 nb, no evidence of such states was found. Isospin symmetry breaking The charge and isospin symmetry breaking due to p0 – h meson mixing has been investigated. The energy dependence of the cross sections ratio for the p + d → 3H + p+ and p + d → 3He + p0 reaction has been measured. While isospin symmetry predicts the ratio of the cross sections to be equal to 2, p0 – h meson mixing leads to a deviation from this value. From two measurements for beam momentum 1.57 GeV/c and 1.59 GeV/c the p0 – h meson mixing angle of 0.030 was obtained. Final state interaction effects Inclusive measurements of p+ produced in proton-proton collisions have been performed using the BIG KARL high resolution spectrometer at Jülich. The zero degree double differential cross sections for p + p → p+ + d and p + p → p+ + n + p reactions were studied to determine singlet and triplet contributions to the n + p final state interaction over a broad range of beam energy. Mesuring the η meson mass A liquid deuterium target and 1641 MeV/c proton beam were used to precisely measure the η meson mass by analyzing the outgoing 3He associated with h with the magnetic spectrometer BIG KARL which allows to mesure momenta of outgoing helions with high precision. With this method the mass of the η meson can be determined with the highest precision. The Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 27 II.2 Theoretical nuclear physics [205] In the last two years, theoretical investigations in some applications of the shell model embedded in the continuum for light nuclear systems and studies of some nuclear effects in the context of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, were carried out. Shell model in the continuum One- and two-neutron separation energies, as well as odd-even staggering (OES) of binding energies quantified value have been calculated and compared with available experimental data. The effect of the drip line proximity has been recognized and described as a change of the ratio of neutron-neutron to neutron-proton interaction strength. In addition, a detailed influence of scattering S-matrix poles position on the size of the correction to the binding energy has been discussed with the help of a simple analytical model. The possible limitations of the model for angular momenta l = 0 and 1 have been established in the case when S-matrix pole (bound, anti-bound or resonance state) approaches the one particle emission threshold. Another project concerns the microscopic description of recently discovered experimentally two-proton radioactivity and two-proton emission from excited nuclear states. This has been discussed and compared in two limiting cases, namely of sequential decay and of di-proton (cluster) decay. It has been found that for the observed decay of 1+ excited state in 18Ne the sequential mode dominates even in the absence of intermediate resonance states. The mechanism proposed is the decay via a continuum “tail” of the bound states (“ghost” states) of the intermediate 17F nucleus. On the other hand, the radioactivity of 45Fe has been described via pure cluster emission, due to the closed intermediate channel. Ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions The effect of Fermi motion in nuclei on the nuclear modification factor was analyzed. Contrary to simple intuition, rather large effects are found for the CERN SPS. These effects are comparable to those observed experimentally and depend on the particle (pion, kaon, etc.) emitted. A new method was proposed of studying neutron skin effect in heavy ion collisions at SPS energies via studying asymmetry in the production of π+ and π- as the function of the impact parameter. A recent experiment at CERN seems to qualitatively confirm this result, based on Hartree-Fock-Bogolubov-type of nuclear structure calculations. Highlights In Nuclear Physics obtained result is mη=547.257 ±0.044 MeV/c2, significantly lower than another result obtained recently by the NA48 collaboration at CERN with similar precision. This controversy must be resolved in the future. Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 Highlights In Condensed Matter 28 III. CONDENSED MATTER STUDIES Initially stemmed from a simple application of nuclear radiations to the determination of crystal structure the research on the condensed matter is now one of the leading scientific themes realized at IFJ PAN. Experiments on particular systems often involve large scale facilities, like neutron and synchrotron radiation sources, but not less important are the works carried out at our own premises with the use of the continuously developing equipment of our laboratories. Worth mentioning is the laboratory of scanning tunnelling and atomic force microscopy, laboratory of thin layers, adiabatic calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy and the NMR laboratory. The research subjects range from metals, alloys and semiconductors to mesogens, organic glass formers, and molecular magnets. Structural and dynamical properties of important classes of materials, such as semiconductors, minerals and artificial nanostructures are modelled and designed with the use of advanced theoretical and computational methods.

It was found that the limiting temperature for oxidation resistance of Zr-Al compounds is close to 1073 K. Above this temperature the formation of the constituent metals oxides – ZrO2 and Al2O3 was evidenced. Temperatures for a complete oxidation of Zr3Al (1173 K) and of ZrAl (1273 K) indicate that increase of aluminum content in an alloy im- proves its oxidation resistance. Electronic structure of disordered alloys studied by Compton scattering [302] 3D momentum density and the Fermi surface of disordered Cu0.86Al0.16 alloy were reconstructed from high-resolution Compton profiles. The effect known as „nesting” of the Fermi surface was revealed (cooperation with KEK, Tsukuba, Japan). This feature of the Fermi surface, when present, is believed to lead to local ordering phenomena in disordered systems. Our electron diffraction studies showed that a short-range order was indeed present in the alloy. Moreover, the character of the diffuse scattering (the four-fold splitting of the diffuse spots) 29 pointed to the „nesting” of the Fermi surface as the origin of this ordering. The results lend support to the notion that the formation of the short-range order in nondiluted, disordered alloys can be driven by their electronic properties like the shape of the Fermi surface. Mn-porphyrin single chain magnet [301] The relaxation time of magnetization in some anisotropic high spin molecules reaches a few months at T = 2 K and years or more below. Once magnetized, can such molecules work as zero dimensional Single Molecule Magnets (SMM) virtually capable of storing information at an extreme density. A similar slow dynamics can also occur in some one dimensional magnetic chains, called Single Chain Magnets (SCM) or magnetic nanowires. To find actual materials showing these properties is now a real challenge. We have discovered the SCM behavior in some compounds from the family of linear chargetransfer complexes [MnR4TPP][TCNE], (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin, TCNE = tetracyanoethylene, R = functional group substituted at the periphery of the porphyrin disc). Changing the functional group R and/or its substitution site modifies magnetic interactions and thus induces various types of magnetic ordering as well as spin relaxation in this genuine metal-organic compound. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of free quantum rotors [304] TNE c b' 100 Free quantum rotors: D2, ND3 and CD4 inserted into cages of zeolite have been studied by NMR spectroscopy. Spin-lattice relaxation rate shows diverse mobility of CD4 molecules in NaH zeolite. Translational freedom and molecular collisions dominate at high temperatures. At TTR reorientations start to dominate the relaxation process. At TNE process of diffusion between Deuteron spin-lattice relaxation rate zeolite cages becomes slow enough and two for CD4 molecules in NaH zeolite. time constants were observed. These were assigned to CD4 molecules in large and small cages, undergoing free or restricted reorientations, respectively. Molecules occupy positions close to adsorption centers.

A reproducible and quantitative method to determine the absolute aluminum content and coordination in the ferrierite subjected to various dealumination/realumination, as well as silanization processes was developed. Spectral componets attributed to differently coordinated Si in ferrierite are shown in the figure.

The temperature dependence of the free energy indicates that entropy contributes to the destabilization of the α phase at the high temperatures, but this is insufficient to drive transformations between those two phases. The fcc arrangement of the oxygen sublattice plays an important role in the stabilization of the θ phase above 600 K. The present calculations explain the common presence of tetrahedrally coordinated Al cations in alumina, and suggest that some other than entropic mechanism exists, which stabilizes transition aluminas up to 1400 K. Phase diagram of CaCl2 [305] We have proposed a new theoretical approach to study a phase diagram of materials with a second-order phase transition [1]. Using this method the structural phase transition from rutiletype to orthorhombic phase in calcium chloride (CaCl2)Has been studied. At T=0 K the critical point is described by the singularities related to a breaking of crystal symmetry and by the vanishing of a soft-mode frequency. Using the direct ab initio method, we compute the phonon spectra in both phases, tetragonal and orthorhombic, and study the soft mode behavior as a function of pressure in the vicinity of Phase diagram of CaCl2 as obtained from first the critical point. In the quasiprinciples computations harmonic approximation, we calculate the total free energy up to 1000 K and determine the finite-temperature equation of state. We have assumed that the harmonic phonon frequencies are only a function of the crystal volume and geometry, and depend on temperature only through the accompanying volume changes. This means that there is a single critical volume for the phase transition which is either constant, or at most very weakly dependent on temperature. On this basis we have evaluated from first-principles the upper and lower boundaries for the phase transition on the p-T phase diagram of CaCl2.

INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH The Institute (IFJ PAN), originally established as a nuclear physics research laboratory over 45 years ago, has by now expanded its research over a broad range of interdisciplinary applications of physics and enjoys a privileged position in these activities. Along with its most up-to-date research activity in basic theoretical and experimental physics, the IFJ PAN has acquired several decades of experience in the studies of living systems and in developing technical devices and procedures useful in life sciences, medical diagnostics and cancer radiotherapy. Extensive local, regional, national and international co-operation and joint projects in these areas have developed quite naturally, due to Krakow’s position as a leading national academic community. Several academic and research institutions involved with life sciences and with various aspects of clinical and research medicine in this region have profited from this co-operation. In this sense, the IFJ PAN has for several years served as a leading regional centre in interdisciplinary applications of physics, particularly in radiation and environmental biology, environmental physics, medical physics, dosimetry, nuclear geophysics, radiochemistry and material engineering. The Institute’s most spectacular achievements in this field, accomplished during the last two years (2003 – 2004), are briefly presented below.

Original software was developed to analyse data from DTI experiments. This work is performed in collaboration with Collegium Medicum UJ and Silesian Medical University. Special gradient coils capable of delivering gradients up 500 mT/m, a RF birdcage coil and a life-support system including temperature regulation and monitoring were designed and constructed to do MRI on transgenic mouse heart. A fast MRI cine-like FLASH sequence based on gradient echo was developed.

In normal and pathological living cells, local elasticity and the specific binding interactions between biomolecules were measured, showing that the interaction force between lectins (ConA, SNA, PHA-L) and cell surface carbohydrates was altered due to cancerous transformation. In further collaboration with the Collegium Medicum of the Jagiellonian University, the elasticity of large number of blood samples, originated from healthy and hospitalized patients, was studied as a first attempt at applying AFM as a tool in medical diagnostics.

The coated cups, investigated by micro-Raman spectroscopy for determination sp2/sp3 bonds and by set of mechanical techniques, showed excellent adhesion and very good elasticity. This method can be industrially applied for enhancing the durability of endoprostheses. A system for monitoring biological damage induced by environ- mental genotoxins including ionising radiation has been developed in the IFJ [503, 504]. Environmental exposure effects/relationships were measured in situ or in vivo by analysis of the frequency of gene or lethal mutations in somatic cells. Molecular and cytogenetic techniques are applied, such as analysis of DNA damage by single cell gel electrophoresis assay (SCGE) and detection of unstable or stable chromosome aberration frequencies. Studies obtained with the use of SCGE and cytogenetic methods showed a linear-quadratic dose relationship in response to X-rays and almost linear response after irradiation with neutrons. Comparison between DNA damage investigated by the SCGE assay and cytogenetic damage induced in human lymphocytes by chemicals or by ionising radiation revealed a strong correlation between the two biological end points. The SCGE assay, because of its simplicity and rapidity, appears to be a useful tool for predicting the individual susceptibility to induced damage or for determining any harmful genotoxicity of the environment. The Isochronous Cyclotron AIC-144, developed at the IFJ, became fully operational in 2004. A 45 MeV proton beam was extracted and delivered to the proton therapy room in April 2004. The work is continued to extract the 60 MeV proton beam, required for eye melanoma proton radiotherapy. Using the internal proton or alpha particle beams, in 81 irradiation sessions, a number of radioisotope tracers [603], such as 48V, 56,57Co, 73,74As, 83Rb, 82Sr, 85Sr, 95Tc, 99Rh, 105Ag, 125I, 206,207,208,209Po and 211At, were activated, isolated and finally dispatched to internal users and to several external customers, including the IAEA. An internal target assembly, in-house designed, constructed, and recently completed, will greatly facilitate radioisotope production and further improve its radiation protection aspects. This remotely operated assembly assures efficient cooling of the internal target head and extraction of the product while maintaining cyclotron vacuum.

One of the strongest areas of project development is directed towards Earth sciences. In the IFJ, research on high precision silicon detectors [604] for medical applications began in the late eighties, following the experience and international contacts acquired by particle physicists who had worked on silicon vertex detectors in high energy physics experiments since the early eighties. Among others, the IFJ team has specialized in the Data Acquisition Systems. In the years 2001-2004 the team participated in the project “Silicon Ultra fast Cameras for electron and gamma sources in Medical Applications” (SUCIMA), financed by an EC grant of the 5th FP. The main goal of SUCIMA was the development of an advanced imaging technique of extended radioactive sources for medical applications. The SUCIMA cameras, based on the Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors in CMOS technology (MAPS), are designed to optimise radiation safety conditions during brachytherapy and hadrontherapy treatments and to improve the accuracy of both therapies. The IFJ team was responsible for developing the fast DAQ systems for three types of silicon sensors: MAPS (basic development), silicon strip detectors (backup solution) and SOI test structures (R&D for innovative silicon detectors) and for the dedicated Graphical User Interfaces for data visualization. The whole readout chains consisting of the dedicated hybrids, repeaters and imager board have been designed, built and tested for each type of sensors. The SUCIMA imager is the heart of this fast electronics and performs real-time data analysis and compression. The module is based on VIRTEX II - the most advanced XILINX FPGA chip. The IFJ has over 35 years of experience in the development, production and application of new types of ther- moluminescence (TL) detectors [509], particularly LiF:Mg,Ti and LiF:Mg,Cu,P. Over 600,000 LiF detectors produced at the IFJ PAN are routinely applied in dosimetry services and hospitals in 30 countries. The curFig 1. Placement of the phantom at the ISS.

The space project (named Matroshka), organized by the European Space Agency, is one of the most ambitious dosimetry experiments in space. In February 2004 an anatomical model of the human body (a humanoid phantom), equipped with over 3500 dedicated thermoluminescent detectors (TLD), developed and produced at IFJ and tested at the Chiba heavy ion accelerator in Japan, was installed outside the International Space Station (ISS) to determine the cosmic radiation doses absorbed in human organs, which would be experienced by astronauts in open space. The phantom will remain in space for one year, after which the detectors will be returned to the IFJ for analysis. natural radioactive elements in the environment [508] has Research on been conducted. The main activities are focused on measurements of isotopes arising from natural radioactive series (especially radon). In 2004, the first two parts of survey within the frame of scientific cooperation between “Vinča” Institute and IFJ PAN were completed. Field measurements were carried out in Niška Banja Spa (Serbia and Montenegro). In this region extremely high radon (222Rn) concentrations in soil gas, to above 2 000 kBq/m3., very high values of radon exhalation rates (1,5 Bq/m2s) and radon concentration in water samples (> 500 Bq/l) were observed. Indoor radon concentrations in some houses exceeded 10 kBq/m3. A special model and computer code were developed for calculating and visualising radon distribution and its migration into houses (PhD thesis). At the Radon Study Field located in IFJ PAN, the influence of different parameters on the radon exhalation process are studied and changes of radon concentration in soil are investigated. The natural radiation level plays an important role in lowbackground gamma spectroscopy. Long-term measurements of the gamma background level are being performed and their changes (e.g., post-Chernobyl or solaractivity induced) studied. Work performed in the area of Environmental Radioactivity provided information on the geographical distribution of post-Chernobyl contamination in Poland with several gamma, beta or alpha emitters. The area with relatively high deposit of nuclear fuel particles (“hot particles”) was especially carefully investigated. Recent ultra-low background measurements of radiochemically prepared needles of Norway spruce trees from the Tatra National Park have shown a surprisingly high content of plutonium in the youngest shots [508]. This result will require a revision of the common opinion about natural migration of Pu which up to date has been considered not to be mobile and not bio-available. 41 By analysing bilberry leaves collected from different sites all over Poland (see the contour of Poland in the Figure) a unique map of distribution of 90Sr - a pure beta radiation emitter, product of nuclear fission of 239Pu or 235U, was produced. The results clearly indicate the influence of Chernobyl accident in Northeastern Poland. Application of the Institute’s actively and passively shielded gamma-ray spectrometer to measurements of cosmogenic 22Na and 7Be in aerosols has shown statistically significant seasonal differences not only in the activity of these two nuclides but also in their activity ratio. Since 2001, concentrations of artificial 137Cs, natural 40K and of some heavy metals have been measured in samples collected in the Tatra National Park. The maximum concentration of caesium is observed at altitudes over 1300 m above sea level, in the organic surface layers or in the illuvial layers. The transfer factor (Tagg) values for caesium in Podzol and Ranker soils are altitude-independent, but in Rendzinas, Rendzic Lethosols, Lithosols and Regosols a strong dependence on altitude is observed. No similar investigation in the Tatra National Park has yet been performed. Research in the chemistry of transactinide elements [502] is performed at the IFJ. In model experiments on solution chemistry of light homologues of transactinides, the best chemical systems for fast on-line isolation of short-lived superheavy elements from a number of products of nuclear reactions, are seeked. In 20032004 effective separation systems for Pb as a homologue of the Z=114 element and for Os and Re as homologues of Hs and Bh, have been prepared. The developed systems, based on a sequence of Dowex-1 and Dowex-50 ion exchangers or on transistion metal hexacyanoferrates in acid media would be applicable in chemical study of transactinides produced in heavy ion experiments. Detection methods in gas chromatography [507] are under development, especially ultra-sensitive gas chromatography detection methods to monitor the atmosphere (with respect to gases active in the destruction of the Earth ozone layer). A new chromatographic method has been elaborated for Ne determination, and technique for determination of Ar and N2 in groundwater has been significantly improved. Measurements of neon are performed by means of a chromatographic system equipped with a helium ionization detector (PD–HID) doped with neon pulse discharge, working with a modified sample introduction system. The Ar and Highlights In Interdisciplinary Res. Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 Highlights In Interdisciplinary Res. 42 N2 contents are determined by a thermal-conductivity detector (TCD). The problem of separation of Ar from O2 has been solved by catalytic removal of the latter from the sample. The measurement reproducibility is 1%, 2% and 0.5% for Ar, Ne and N2, respectively. Both methods were successfully applied in measurements of groundwaters in the Kraków area. The excess air contents are in the range of about 1 to 3 cm3 STP L-1. The values of recharge temperatures for Holocen water agree reasonably well with the yearly mean long-term surface air temperature (8.2 oC). The radiation transport physics research [501] for nuclear geophysics is continued. Neutron stationary and non-stationary fields in multi-zone and grained infinite and finite structures were investigated using analytical and numerical methods. Owing to the high precision of the measurements, small discrepancies between the outputs of extensive numerical codes (such as the MCNP) and the experimental results for some substances, can be detected. Numerical Monte Carlo modelling is routinely carried out to study neutron-gamma and neutron-neutron logging tools with respect to their design and calibration, and to investigate radiation transport in the borehole environment. In the last years intensive theoretical and experimental studies of the effective absorption of thermal neutrons in heterogeneous (multi-grained) materials were carried out. Thermal neutron diffusion properties depend of the macroscopic structure of the medium. The thermal neutron absorption cross-section for homogeneous and heterogeneous (grained) structure of material consisting of the same components was measured and calculated. A significant difference is observed between the absorption cross-section for homo- and heterogenous systems. An example of the results is presented in the table below Table. Example of the granulation effect on the thermal neutron absorption crosssection.

The question is addressed of the time scales characteristic for market formation. By using returns on various time scales, the magnitude of the largest eigenvalue of the correlation matrix for the same set of securities is compared. For various sets of stocks of different capitalization, elevation of the largest eigenvalue with increasing time scale is observed. The results obtained from the correlation 0 10 matrix study go in parallel with the Epps 5 min. effect. One of factors playing a role here 30 min. 120 min. (b) 510 min. is randomness in transaction moments 1020 min. -2 for different stocks. The conclusion is that 10 in contemporary markets the emergence α = 3.0 of significant correlations occurs over time scales much smaller than in the 10-4 Gaussian more distant history. [190/2004] DAX The statistical properties of the distribu- 10-6 0,1 1 10 100 tion of individual stocks and the index | gi | returns in highly collective and noisy intervals of trading, separately, were studied. It was found that the time intervals characterized by strongly collective behavior of stocks are associated with the fattailed distributions of the index returns, while faster convergence of such distributions to normal can be attributed to the intervals dominated by noise. For the German market, the strong inter-stock couplings lead to the occurrence of distributions which resemble those for the truncated Lévy processes [181/2003]. Based on data from the period 1998-99 several characteristics established by the Boston Group for the US market in the period 1994-95, which serves to verify their timetranslational invariance, were re-analysed. By increasing the time scales, a significantly more accelerated departure was found from the power-law with α = 3.0 asymptotic behaviour of the distribution of returns towards Gaussian. The corresponding autocorrelation functions of returns and of the time averaged volatility also indicate a faster loss of memory with increasing time. These results provide indication that the contemporary financial dynamics on average is more efficient in the sense of the efficient market hypothesis in its weak form, as compared to a more distant history. The figure shows c.d.f. of stock returns for 30 DAX companies for time scales from 5 min. to 2 days; convergence to a Gaussian is visible. [110/2003] Stochastic processes Some specific stochastic, jumping processes have been studied. They are defined in terms of the jump size distribution and the waiting time distribution which are mutually dependent. For the simplest case (the kangaroo process), the corresponding master equation has been completely solved and simple asymptotic expressions for the time-dependent probability distributions have been derived. A generalized version of that process, which takes into account the memory effects, has been proposed and a connection to transport processes, namely to the Boltzmann kinetic theory and diffusion, has been demonstrated. The Highlights In Interdisciplinary Res. Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 Main Achievements 2003 – 2004 same process, but defined on the circle instead of the axis, can possess the powerlaw autocorrelation function; a simple formula for this function has been derived. Therefore, the process can serve as a useful model for the colored noises, in particular for the 1/f noise. It has been applied as a model of the driving force in the generalized Langevin equation, an impossible task with the standard kangaroo process. The equation has been solved by means of the Monte Carlo simulations. The resulting velocity and energy distributions exhibit extremely long memory about the initial conditions, despite an apparent fast equilibration of their comprehensive shape. The tails of both distributions fall faster than in the Maxwellian case. Physics of muonic atoms and molecules A general method of calculating the 100 rates of resonant formation of the νf =2 muonic molecules ddµ and dtµ in con75 densed hydrogens has been developed. The knowledge of these rates is necesF=1 F=0 50 sary for explanation of many experiments in low-energy muon physics.

Such experiments 0 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 1 1.25 1.5 have been performed at PSI, TRIUMF, tμ energy (eV) KEK-RIKEN-RAL, and JINR (Dubna). The figure shows the rate of resonant dtµ formation in a 3-K solid HD target versus energy of impinging tµ atom, for different quantum numbers characterizing the tµ+HD system. The calculated rates explain well some unexpected features of the resonance profiles measured at TRIUMF. 8 -1 formation rate (10 s ) Highlights In Interdisciplinary Res. 44 Annexes A–1 Annex A.

B–1 Annex B. Personnel Annex B. Personnel The Institute of Nuclear Physics with its 449 employees and 55 Ph.D. students is one of the largest Institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The present employment level was reached following a personnel reduction process, initiated at the end of 1980’s, which steadily reduced IFJ staff from more over 800 in 1990, through 608 in 1995 and 449 in 2004. The category most reduced was technical staff (engineers and labour staff), from a total number of 357 in 1995 to 194 in 2004, following a significant reduction of the activity of mechanical and electronic workshops at the IFJ. In the last ten years the number of scientists and administration was fairly stable (about 200 and 80 respectively). Over the recent years the number of Ph.D. students engaged in the scientific activities of the IFJ is systematically growing. In the present reporting scheme , they are not formally IFJ employees.

They also teach at Polish and foreign universities, colleges or academies. The large number of Professors (36) and Associate Professors (26 ) employed by the Institute makes it possible to grant the Institute’s Scientific Council prerogatives identical to those available to University councils, such as conferring Ph.D. degrees, conducting habilitation procedures, or submitting professorial candidates for state nomination. Presently 106 scientists with Ph.D. degree are employed as the adjoints. The number of research assistantships available to junior scientific staff is gradually reduced to allow a higher number of Ph.D. students.

Prof. Adjuncts Assitants Ph.D. students Categories A significant problem which arose at the beginning of 1990’s was the rapid ageing of the scientific and technical staff. At the time, with Polish economy rapidly growing, the best graduate students were being attracted by private enterprise and by business companies. Our active employment policy, initiated in the mid of 90’s, of increasing the number of assistant positions and attracting Ph. D students, counteracted this tendency. The present age distribution of the Institute’s staff is relatively uniform – which demonstrates the stable development of our Institute. IFJ personnel and Ph.

The Budget of the IFJ INCOME IFJ activities are supported from various sources, including public and private, as well as national and international funds. The research is granted mainly from the State budget through the Ministry of Scientific Research and Information Technology. All government support for separately budgeted research is channeled entirely through the State Committee for Scientific Research which is a major governmental source of funds for research and development. In 2003 the Institute received 3,593,983 EUR (16,963,600 PLN) for its statutory R&D activity. In 2004 the core funding for statutory Institute activity increased to 4,189,338 EUR (17,092,500 PLN). This increase of the sum in Euro was partly due to the change of the exchange rate between Euro and the Polish Zloty, from 4.72 PLN/Euro (December 31, 2003) to 4.08 PLN/Euro (December 31, 2004). Small research teams and individual scientists apply to the Ministry of Scientific Research and Information Technology for small research projects (10,000 – 50,000 Euro in 2–3 years) which support their research in particular topics and tasks. Another source of state founds (Polish acronym SPUB) was available to support the participation of Polish scientists in international projects, mainly in particle physics collaborations and Framework Programs of EU. The total amount of funds obtained for these two purposes was 726,721 EUR in 2003 and 620,149 EUR in 2004. Additionally, the State Committee for Scientific Research supports organization of scientific conferences. IFJ is active in international project applications. In 2003–2004 the institute received financial support in the form of projects from the European Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. The total subsidy was about 174,000 EUR in 2003 and it increased to 981,000 EUR in 2004. Moreover, the IFJ PAN provides several specialized scientific and technical services. In the table below we present the total financial income of the IFJ PAN in the years 2003– 2004. Table. IFJ income in 2003 and 2004.

Budget EXPENDITURES In 2003 – 2004 about 60 % of the total costs was allocated to personnel salaries; the remainder was spent on equipment, materials, services and cooperation. The structure of expenses is presented in the figure below. Figure The structure of expenditures of IFJ in 2003 and 2004. Personnel Total expenditure 2003 Total expenditure 2004 4% Equipment 14% 13% Materials Services 12% 8% 7% 6% 68% 3% 65% Others including cooperation INVESTMENTS One of the most difficult issues is the outdated technical infrastructure of the Institute and the poor technical condition of buildings, due to the very limited funds available over the last 20 years. In the last few years the Institute has undertaken several investments to modernize the buildings, such as the construction of the new hall for Van de Graaff experimental area (100,000 EUR), adaptation of a part of the building for the high energy and particle physics groups (about 440,000 EUR) and commencement of the modernization of the main building estimated cost: 250,000 EUR. We also replaced the outdated, coal-fired central heating station by a modern , automatic, gas-fired installation (360,000 EUR). We replaced the outdated heating and electrical installations in the cyclotron building and installations. (50,000 EUR). The major problem is also the reconstruction and modernization of our research facilities and equipment. In frame of MSI projects only small scale equipment, typically below 30.000 EUR can be purchased. In 2003 the Institute received 101,695 EUR (480,000 PLN) for investments. In 2004 this amount increased to 542,275 EUR (2,288,400 PLN). In 2003–2004 two larger instruments were purchased: the console for the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrometer (220,000 EUR) and an X-ray diffractometer (170,000 EUR). Poland’s accession to the European Community allowed us to application for EU structural funds to modernize our scientific equipments and facilities. In December 2004 we had submitted four proposals for purchase and modernization of laboratory equipment for a total sum of 2.5 million EUR. A few projects are in preparation (proton radiotherapy, PET isotope production, etc.) for an additional 3 million EUR. D–1 Annex D. Research Infrastructure Annex D.

The Bose-Einstein correlations of the pion-pairs were studied in the azimuthal angle difference. The method is unique among the LEP collaborations. The measured correlation radius for pion-pairs together with the radius obtained from the analysis of the Fermi-Dirac correlations for antiproton-pairs support the dependence of the emitter radius on a hadron rest mass. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–2 7.

General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The ZEUS experiment is motivated to supply data on e+p/e–p interactions at the highest presently available energy of the order of 300 GeV in the centre of mass. A team of physicists and engineers from IFJ PAN has undertaken the task to design and construct the luminosity monitor which would measure HERA luminosity continuously. That of course covers the duty of maintaining of the monitor during the data taking. Years 2003 and 2004 were devoted to essential modification of the originally built monitor which has worked successfully over the years 1992 – 2002. This task was finished in 2004 with full success. 3.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–5 Internal Project Number 103 Project Leader: Prof. Jacek Turnau 1. Title EXPERIMENT H1 AT HERA (DESY-HAMBURG) 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) A deep inelastic scattering (DIS), in which a point-like lepton is scattered at high energies against a nucleon, has led to the current knowledge of a hadron structure in which the hadrons consist of quarks, spin-half and the point-like particles with the fractional electric charge and of massless vector bosons called gluons. Quarks and gluons are denoted with the common name partons. A strong interaction between the quarks, mediated by the gluons, is described by the theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Although the QCD is not able to predict the structure of hadrons from first principles, it is able to predict a variety of different hadronic final state signatures, which depend on the structure of the proton. But the rich hadronic final state cannot be fully calculated perturbatively due to the gluons selfinteraction and the relatively large value of the strong coupling constant unless the approximation is applied. In this project we want to investigate in detail the hadronic final state with the data collected at the H1 experiment at the electron proton collider HERA at DESY. The measurements will be compared to theoretical and phenomenological predictions with the aim of a better understanding of the underlying parton dynamics and the partonic structure of the proton. Our final aim is a precise determination of the parton density functions in the proton as a function of the longitudinal and transverse momentum of the partons for different values of the transverse resolution. 3.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–6 6.2 Main results and achievements (max. 200 words) The H1 Cracow group contributes to the experiment in three main areas: 1. The maintenance and running experiment (hall mechanical, H1 calorimeter on-line expert, run coordinator, shift leader). 2. The Monte Carlo production (MC-production coordinator, running MC production on DESY PCfarm). 3. The data analysis within “Hadronic Final States and QCD” working group. In the years 2003–2004 we started analysis of forward jet production in 1999/2000 data and K0K0 final states in HERA I data, and search for instanton-induced processes at high values of momentum transfers. In 2004 the H1 paper on forward π0 production (DESY-04051) based on the analysis, which had been performed in Cracow, was accepted to be published. Moreover, the members of Cracow group also represented the H1 cooperation at several major international conferences (DIS 2004, Low x Workshop 2003, Photon 2003). 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) During the next two years we would like to continue the analysis we have already started. We are going to start a new analysis of a prompt photon production based on HERA I and HERA II data (diploma thesis in 2005). Plans of collaboration with DESY group and the theoreticians from Kraków have been formulated in the Polish-German research project under the “Agreement on Scientific Cooperation between the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron”. Our final aim is a precise determination of the parton density function in the proton as a function of longitudinal and transverse momentum of partons. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements We are planning to participate in the H1 experiment until it finishes in 2007 and then to continue the data analysis. We hope to get one more PhD student in 2005. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–7 Internal Project Number 104 Project Leader: Assoc. Prof. Maria Różańska 1. Title THE BELLE EXPERIMENT AT THE KEK B-FACTORY 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The Belle experiment is dedicated to study the rare B meson system decays which are the powerful tools to test the flavour sector of the Standard Model. The main aim of this experiment is to verify a model of CP symmetry violation, proposed by Kobayashi and Maskawa, in the B-meson triangle by the measurements of its elements in many processes. Also many rare B meson decays are sensitive probes of a physics beyond the Standard Model. The experiment is performed at the asymmetric beam energy e+e- collider KEK-B. Thanks to the excellent performance of this collider, which recently reached the world record of peak luminosity of 1.4 x 1034 s-1cm-2, the landmark of a sample of 300 million BBar pairs passed in December 2004. 3.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–8 6.2. Main results and achievements (200 words) - - - The precise measurements of CP asymmetry parameter, sin (2ϕ1), from B → c c Ks decays. The value of sin (2ϕ1), based on measurements by Belle and Babar is known with -7% accuracy (0.736 ± 0.049). The first evidence for the direct CP violation effects in B → π+π-. The observation of the direct CP violation in B → Kπ decays. Measurements of sin(2ϕ1) from decays with b →s transitions. The Belle’s sin(2ϕ1) measurement based on seven B decay modes attributed to b →sg penguin transitions disagrees by 2.6 standard deviations with the value determined in B → J/ψKs0. For combined Belle and Babar measurements, the discrepancy further increases to 3.8 s.d. This may be a hint of new particle exchange in the penguin loop. The discoveries of new resonances in B decays, and in continuum production: charmonium state ηc(2S), c u scalar (D*0 (2308) and pseudovector D0(2427)) mesons, c s mesons DsJ(2317), DsJ(2460), the X(3872) →J/ψππ - possibly a DD* molecule and other. The major Cracow group’s input to the Belle experiment includes – hardware and running the experiment: a) the development of the read-out electronics for the Belle Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD), its maintenance and upgrading b) the off-line SVD calibrations c) the participation in MC mass production – physics analysis a) the studies of B decays involving b→ s transitions, c) the studies of b→ c c s dynamics and searching for new c s s and c c c mesons 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) Cracow group’s future plans: 1. The continuation of the studies of rare B decays with the data sample of 600M B B 2. R&D work for the Belle detector upgrade for the SuperKEK-B project. Cracow group is actively engaged in a project of the Front-end Interfacing Modules which are the components of the Common Readout Platform. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements Further improvements in the collider operation and the upgrading of the Belle apparatus aim at running the experiment at fourfold higher luminosity, to reach a data sample of one billion B B pairs by the year 2008. Pending the approval is the Super KEK-B project: a construction of a collider with the luminosity exceeding 1035 s-1 cm-2, operational as from 2009. The projected data sample of ~10 ab-1 by 2014, ensures a complementarity of the Belle's experimental program to the New Physics searches at the LHC collider. The project’s increasing complexity must be coherent with the staff’s involvement. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–9 Internal Project Number 105 Project Leader: Prof. Jerzy Bartke 1. Title THE NA49 EXPERIMENT AT THE CERN SPS ACCELERATOR 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The NA49 fixed target experiment at the CERN SPS accelerator is aimed at studies concerning the collisions of relativistic nuclei (up to lead) at beam energies from 20 to 158 GeV per nucleon. Its motivation is to create a dense and a hot hadronic system in which the phase transition from “normal” hadronic matter to a deconfined state of quarks and gluons (the Quark-Gluon Plasma) would take place. The aim of this experiment is to observe the above phase transition and to investigate some various hadronic signs of the deconfinement process, such as the total identified particle multiplicicities and the inclusive spectra, correlations and HBT radii of the object created in the collision, and event-by-event fluctuations. This main activity is supplemented with a complementary study of an elementary proton + proton and proton + nucleus reactions. The aim here is to provide a detailed description of a non-perturbative QCD phenomena and to precise the elementary reference for nucleus-nucleus collisions. The main item of this research program is the question of a possible smooth evolution of various phenomena from an elementary to the complex nuclear interactions. 3.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–10 6.2 The main results and achievements (max. 200 words) The main newest results of the NA49 experiment are as follows: 1. The observation of a highly non-trivial evolution of the heavy-ion reactions with the collision energy, characterised mainly by a non-monotonic behaviour of the strangeness over the pion ratio. Within the Statistical Model of the Early Stage, this behaviour is a signature for Quark-Gluon Plasma formation at about 30 GeV/nucleon beam energy. Several other theoretical models, which didn’t involved the transition to Quark-Gluon Plasma, failed to describe this phenomenon. 2. A measurement of a narrow Ξ −π − baryon resonance with a mass of 1.86 GeV, produced in p+p collisions. This resonance corresponds with a new highly exotic “pentaquark” particle. It is a sort of the quark composition where (ddss u ) cannot be reduced to the standard three valence quark structure. 3. During the last two years, further evidence for factorisation of final state baryon number distribution in elementary hadronic collisions was gathered. The preliminary obtained results indicate that final state baryon number distribution in e.g. p + p reactions can be disentangled into an independent target and the projectile components. Since the beginning of the experiment, the NA49 Cracow-IFJ PAN group has been responsible for the maintenance and TPC low voltage supply system to the NA49, and for complete krypton calibration of the main NA49 components – the Time Projection Chambers. It participates in running the experiment and in the data analysis. In the years 2003–2004, members of the Cracow group showed the NA49 results at several major international conferences (Strangeness in Quark Matter 2003, Multiparticle Dynamics 2003, Quark Matter 2004). 7. Plans for the next two years (projects, collaborations) During the next two years we would like to continue the analysis of the data gathered on hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. Then we are aiming at obtaining some more precise results on various event characteristics and their evolution with collision energy. We also expect that the initiated PhD thesis will be completed. This research will be continued within the same team. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements Long-term perspectives (beyond 2006) depend mainly on the CERN management decision with respect to the NA49 Collaboration proposal to restart data taking with the NA49 equipment, possibly upgraded by addition of a high resolution silicon detector. This could open a wider possibility to study the production of very short-lived particles, such as charmed mesons and baryons. Such a project would result in a new cooperation, with the involvement of the present NA49 participants and some new ones as well. Annex E.

General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The primary aim of the PHOBOS project is to search for manifestations of new physics phenomena that may occur in heavy ion collisions at the highest accelerator energies. PHOBOS is one of four experiments working at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). RHIC is a world-class accelerator in which beams of heavy ions collide at the unprecedented energy of 100 A GeV on 100 A GeV, producing the strongly interacting matter at the highest energy density ever accessible in the laboratory. The PHOBOS project was founded more than a decade ago by forming an international collaboration between the institutions from the U.S.A., Poland and Taiwan. The Polish group of the PHOBOS Collaboration has put a lot of effort into the construction of the PHOBOS detector. This contribution was estimated as 30% of the total cost of the experiment. In parallel, the group was actively involved in the development of the PHOBOS research program. In consequence, both the detector and the program were ready when the RHIC accelerator was commissioned and brought online in June 2000. Since then, the primary objective of the Collaboration was focused on the analysis of data collected during consecutive physics runs of the RHIC accelerator. Up to now, the physics results obtained by the PHOBOS Collaboration were reported in over 50 papers in the refereed literature. 3.

In such conditions, the formation of a new phase of matter consisting of weakly bound quarks and gluons, the so called quark-gluon plasma (QGP), was predicted. In the last four years, since RHIC started operation, the measurements made by PHOBOS provided many interesting results. PHOBOS experiment acquired data on Au+Au collisions at center-of-mass energies per incident nucleon pair from 19.6 to 200 GeV and the essential data sets at 200 GeV for simpler Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–12 collision systems of d+Au and p+p. The wide range of systems and energies provided by the RHIC accelerator, combined with the unique capabilities of the PHOBOS detector, has allowed a detailed study of the particle production process. In the most central Au+Au collisions at the highest beam energy of 200 GeV in the nucleonnucleon center-of-mass system, evidence is found for the formation of a very high energy density system whose description in terms of simple hadronic degrees of freedom is inappropriate. Furthermore the constituents of this novel system are found to interact strongly, contrary to the naïve expectations for the creation of the weakly bound state. Another equally interesting result from PHOBOS arose from the studies of the mechanism of particle production in nuclear collisions. Specifically, it has been discovered that much of the data can be expressed in terms of simple scaling behaviours. These observations indicate either the existence of strong global constraints or some kind of universality in the mechanism of the production of hadrons in high energy collisions, possibly connected to ideas of parton saturation. The data strongly suggest that the initial geometry and very early evolution of the system establish the conditions which determine the final values of many observables. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) During the next 2 years we will complete the baseline PHOBOS physics program as defined by the original proposal. This program will involve the entire PHOBOS collaboration as originally constituted and is thought to require two to three years of RHIC running, depending on the details of the scheduling of beam species and energies. The baseline program of the PHOBOS experiment emphasizes a survey of the overall features of nucleus-nucleus collisions together with p+p and d+A data for comparison purposes. It includes the completion of a scan from injection to the highest RHIC energies for collisions of different species. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The Polish group of the PHOBOS collaboration has made a commitment to join ATLAS experiment at the LHC with emphasis on the ATLAS heavy ion physics program. The preliminary studies were performed in order to establish the performance of the baseline ATLAS experiment in the heavy ion environment, and its capability to provide measurements potentially useful to constrain the underlying physics. The emphasis was given to high transverse momentum probes, which best match the design concepts of the ATLAS detector. These studies demonstrated a very good potential of the ATLAS experiment for the investigation of heavy ion collisions. Several issues require further investigation and will be studied before the LHC will run ion beams in 2008. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–13 Internal Project Number 108 Project Leader: Prof. Henryk Wilczyński 1. Title THE AUGER COSMIC RAY EXPERIMENT 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The Pierre Auger Project is aimed at the study of ultra high energy cosmic rays, i.e. those with energies exceeding 1019 eV. These are the highest energy particles known to exist in Nature, but their origin is unclear. Many models were proposed to explain the origin of these cosmic rays. The existing experimental data are insufficient to verify these models so far. The aim of the Auger Project is to provide the experimental data which are needed to explain the origin of ultra high energy cosmic rays i.e. a measure the cosmic ray energy spectrum, a composition and a distribution of arrival directions with unprecedented accuracy, using a hybrid detection system. In order to achieve this, a giant cosmic ray detection system, called the Pierre Auger Observatory, is being built, It will consist of two parts which will be located in the Southern and Northern hemispheres. The Southern site in Argentina is now under construction. 3.

One third of the Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–14 surface array and a half of the fluorescence detectors were completed so far. The Auger Observatory is nowadays the largest cosmic ray detector system in the world. The Southern site should have been completed by the first half of the year 2006. The Institute of Nuclear Physics group contributed to the construction of the fluorescence telescopes. It is also involved with preparing algorithms for the Auger data analysis. In particular, we developed a procedure to determine the fraction of photons among the ultra high energy cosmic rays, which are based on analysis of photon preshowering effect in the geomagnetic field. This procedure was applied to the existing data from the Fly’s Eye and AGASA experiments, which led to determination of a preliminary upper limit of the photon fraction in ultra high energy cosmic rays. So far this is the only experimental limit in the energy range above 100 EeV. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) The analysis of the first data gathered from the Pierre Auger Observatory. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The Pierre Auger Observatory is expected to function for about 15-20 years. The data gathered during this period will enable us a quantum leap in understanding the ultra high energy cosmic ray. We are going to continue our participation in the Auger Project. Employing 2-3 PhD physicists will be necessary. 9. Comments, additional information Dr. Markus Risse, who gained the Alexander von Humboldt scholarship, spent the year 2004 with the INP Auger group.

General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The ICARUS experiment is a neutrino experiment that uses a fine granularity detector, which consists of large TPC chambers filled with Liquid Argon. It reaches a similar precision in track reconstruction as the old-days heavy liquid bubble chambers. The present detector, called T600, has two large cryostats. Each one contains 300 tons of LAr and is equipped with two TPC's. It was commissioned in Pavia by the end of 2002 and recently (in December 2004) it was transported to Gran Sasso. In the years 2005-2007 the additional four 300-ton modules will be constructed and installed underground. The surface tests with cosmic rays carried out during summer 2001 proved the maturity of the detector technology and its excellent physics performance. Thus, the vast physics program can be realized with the sufficiently large detector. It includes the neutrino interactions and oscillations for solar, supernova, atmospheric and accelerator neutrinos and searches for the proton decay. 3.

About 28000 triggers were collected during the surface tests of the first fully equipped module of the ICARUS detector in summer 2001. Several data analyses were performed what resulted in six published papers and the demonstration of the detector’s excellent performance. The results include: the detection of Cherencov light in LAr (in addition to 128 nm scintillation light), the measurement of the drift electron lifetime, equal to 1.8 ms at the end of data gathering and showing no saturation, the most precise determination of the recombination parameter in LAr, the measurement of the Michel parameter (based on the μ decay spectrum) showing the detector capabilities to obtain the reliable physics results. Other analyses are still in progress, e.g. the π0 mass reconstruction (with a participation of the IFJ group). 2. Transport of the first two modules of the ICARUS detector to the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in December 2004. 3. Installation of the ICARUS laboratory at IFJ PAN. It will be used for the anode wire production for the future detector modules, which is a Polish groups’ contribution to the construction of the ICARUS detector. It should start working in the first half of 2005. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) 1.

The long-term action concern with the R&D program for the giant LAr TPC and it is possible in the underground localisation in the Sieroszowice mine near Wrocław in Poland. The whole program will be realized in the framework of the Polish neutrino group, in close collaboration with the other groups, e.g. from ETH and from the INFN Italian laboratories. The group concentrates on catching young people’s attention f. ex. three diploma theses, based on the ICARUS test data, were prepared in IFJ PAN during the years 2003–2004. Two other diploma students have started their work, one PhD student joined the group in 2004 and one is to do it in 2005. 9. Comments, additional information The ICARUS group at IFJ is a part of the Polish ICARUS group formed by physicists and engineers from the eight scientific institutions which are interested in the neutrino physics.

General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) ATLAS is one of the two general purpose detectors at CERN, constructed by 150 institutions from all over the world, in order to study the fundamental properties of the matter at very high energies. The Polish involvement goes back to the beginning of the nineties, when the Cracow groups participated in several R&D projects oriented at LHC. The IFJ PAN group, together with a group from FPACS AGH, participated in ATLAS right from the beginning, also taking part in the preparation of the physics program, and in the designation and construction of the detector components; in particular: 1. simulation of a selected reaction of p-p reactions and heavy ion collisions in ATLAS 2. design, prototyping, construction and testing of silicon detectors and their power supply and readout electronics, 3. design, simulation, prototyping and testing of data acquisition, trigger and control electronics (in particular controls for transition tracker and high level filter), 4. development of computing infrastructure for physics simulations and data analysis, 5. engineering studies of mechanical elements of the spectrometer, design and testing of cooling the systems. 3.

However the integration and debugging of detectors, as well as construction of the computing infrastructure, are starting now. The IFJ PAN group will participate in all these works, focusing on selected topics as listed under the “general description of the project” (item 1). Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–19 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The IFJ PAN ATLAS group involves 9 PhD physicists and about the same number of engineers and PhD students – this is sufficient to support the present commitments of the group. In the longer term, when the experiment will start to produce the data, the number of PhD students should increase. The active participation of the IFJ PAN group in ATLAS is only possible due to a special grant from the Polish Ministry of Science and Computing Infrastructure (SPUB-M) – it is important that this grant is preserved. In addition, needs for computing resources will appear soon, and they have to be satisfied at a reasonable level – this will require additional resources. 9. Comments, additional information We should stress that only a very small fraction of the IFJ PAN budget, assigned to ATLAS, is designated to support travels, subsistence, equipment and materials of the ATLAS group. Altogether, it is about 15 kEuro per year, which is only about 10% of the IFJ PAN funding. This active participation of the IFJ PAN group in the ATLAS experiment is possible only thanks to this special grant from the Polish Ministry of Science and Computing Infrastructure, SPUB-M, which is equal to about 90 kEuro/year. In the long term, the cost of participation in the ATLAS experiment: travel and subsistence, maintenance and operations, computing infrastructure (which need to be regularly updated), not including the local salaries and most of the overheads (covered by IFJ PAN), will be at the level of about 130 kEuro a year – this means that the present level of support should significantly increase, i.e. about 30-40%.

Title INVESTIGATION OF NUCLEAR COLLISIONS AT THE LHC ACCELERATOR 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The investigation of ultrarelativistic heavy ions’ collisions (up to lead) is a part of the physics programme of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) now in construction at CERN. Data gathered from the experiments at the CERN SPS and the BNL heavy ion collider RHIC indicate that the formation in central collisions of relativistic heavy ions of a novel state of matter - a partonic matter or quark-gluon plasma - showing some collective properties. Their existence was predicted by QCD. The aim of ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is to extend these investigations to much higher energies. The main tracking detector of ALICE is a large cylindrical time projection chamber (TPC), the largest ever built. We are involved in computer simulations aimed at optimizing design parameters and performance of the detector, and in the testing its test module. Investigations of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions are also part of the programme of another LHC experiment: CMS. Here we participate in the development of the very forward detector CASTOR designed for a search for anomalous events such as Centauros, strangelets, etc. 3.

The main task was to develop the computer code for the detection of charged kaons using their kink-like decays. This is about to be completed and after that it will be a part of the so-called "Physics Performance Report". Another aim was to check the possibility of particle identification using the energy loss both in the TPC and in the TRD. The results of this analysis were presented to the ALICE Collaboration and published as the ALICE Internal Note. Also in 2003 the test module of the TPC was completed and prepared for tests. It consists of the 1.4 m length drift volume, filled with work gas, equipped with the real readout module. The test module was irradiated with cosmic rays in 2003 and with pion and proton beams from the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) in 2004. The preliminary analysis confirmed the design characteristics of the readout module and of the electronics. The work on the CASTOR project can be summarized as follows: a) the physical motivation of the project has been summarized, and computer simulations of various "exotic" phenomena were made, a general review and the Monte Carlo centauro generator was published; b) the CASTOR calorimeter prototype was constructed and two series of tests of the prototype were performed at the CERN SPS in 2003 and 2004, confirming the design parameters and comparing different technical solutions; c) the first version of the Technical Proposal “CASTOR - a Calorimeter for CMS at Very Forward Rapidity” was prepared, including its integration with the TOTEM experiment, and construction of the second identical calorimeter situated symmetrically on the other side of the interaction point. 7. Plans for the next two years (projects, collaborations) In the years 2005-2006 we will be involved in the calibration of the test module (for establishing the procedure), and then of the full ALICE TPC. We are going to develop the software for the data analysis from ALICE. This effort will also require a new staff employment. The CASTOR calorimeter design and its integration in the CMS will be finalized and the calorimeter will be built, tested, and installed in the CMS. This also calls for some new personnel. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements In 2007 the start-up of the LHC and of all its detectors is planned. This would mean a possibility to begin the data analysis from ALICE and from CMS (initially from proton-proton, and then from nucleus-nucleus collisions), and to obtain first physics results in this new energy range of a few TeV. A substantial strengthening of the Cracow team should be foreseen in order to make a profit from the longterm preparatory period. Annex E.

General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) CP violation was firstly discovered in neutral kaon decays in 1964. Its origin is still one of the most outstanding mysteries of elementary particle physics. The LHCb experiment is one of the four experiments that are planned to operate on Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Comparing to the other accelerators like B-factories, the LHC will be by far the most copious source of B mesons providing about 1012 b quark pairs per year. The LHCb detector is designed to make precision studies of CP asymmetries and of rare decays in the B-meson systems. High performance trigger based on particles with large transverse momentum and significant impact parameter is robust and optimized to collect B mesons efficiently. The detector can reconstruct B-decay vertex with very good resolution and provide excellent particle identification for charged tracks. A wide physics program covers the analysis of more than 30 decay modes of B and rapidly oscillating Bs mesons. 3.

Achievements 6.1 Publications in 2003–2004 6.2 Main results and achievements (max. 200 words) The prototyping phase has been finished and the detector is under construction to be ready for the beginning of data taking in 2007. The experiment underwent a reoptimization procedure which was completed in September 2003. The detector parameters assumed at the stage of Technical Proposal were confronted with the technological constraints reported in a series of Technical Design Reports for each subdetector system. Recommended hardware modifications were directed for implementation. In particular the tracking stations in the magnet region were removed to reduce secondary interactions in the detector material and the first tracking station has been improved to determine the momentum of charged particles at the second trigger level. Dedicated simulation studies have shown that the reoptimised LHCb detector fulfills the requirements given by the physics goals. The production of different subsystems proceeds at full speed. The main dipole magnet has been installed and tested in 2004. Krakow group contributed to various areas: determination of Outer Tracker (OT) technology and production procedure, production of panels for all OT modules, design of elements of the OT readout electronic chain, design of mechanical support for OT stations, development of fast trigger algorithms, reoptimization study of the first tracking station. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–24 7. Plans for the incoming 2 years (projects, collaborations) The precise measurements of subtle CP violation phenomena require full control of all systematic effects introduced at different phases of data gathering and data analysis. Cracow group has recently taken the responsibility for the method to extract systematic effects from the real data. A long term software project started to develop a set of tools for the whole Collaboration. It concerns a consistent estimation of biases introduced by all trigger levels and a procedure to calculate the acceptance range along the flight path of a B-meson. In addition, our Institute is one of the three research centers which are responsible for the development of trigger algorithms and for ensuring good trigger performance during the data collecting. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements LHCb experiment will start collecting the data in 2007. The main effort will move from the simulation study to the data analysis. In the first phase the emphasis will be put on understanding the detector performance and measuring the essential control parameters for both on-line and off-line chains. The methods developed on the simulated data will be applied to the real event samples. The selection algorithms and physics analysis methods will be tuned accordingly. To fulfill these requirements the Cracow Group is expected to grow up to 7-9 physicists after 2007. The rich physics program will provide the excellent opportunity to conduct numerous MSc and PhD theses along the lines presented in 7. We hope to acquire a new PhD student in 2005. Annex E.

Title R&D AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE DETECTORS OF THE FORWARD REGION OF THE TESLA DETECTOR AND PREPARATION OF A RESEARCH PROGRAM FOR THE EXPERIMENT AT THE FUTURE INTERNATIONAL LINEAR COLLIDER (ILC). 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The main aim of the project is to develop and to increase the understanding of the technology which will be used for instrumentation of the very forward region of a TESLA (ILC) detector. In the TESLA detector three calorimeters: BeamCal (measurements of the beam parameters and fast beam monitoring), LumiCal (luminosity measurements) and PhotoCal (measurements of the beam parameters from beamstrahlung photons) are planned in this region. The IFJ PAN group concentrates on the studies related to the LumiCal. The aim is to construct the detector which will allow a high precision O(10−4) luminosity measurement by using the Bhabha scattering process. Such a precision is required from the physics program proposed for ILC. To fulfill this challenging task, a very high precision in the construction of the mechanical frame and its internal structure is required. Highly integrated silicon sensors readout electronics should be created. In addition, the actual position of the calorimeter relative to the beams interaction should also be known with the accuracy of a few micrometers. The current activities include work on: the extensive Monte Carlo detector simulation studies; the design of the mechanics and silicon sensors structure; the development of the method of the LumiCal alignment. 3.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–28 6.2. Main results and achievements (max. 200 words) Through the first two years (2003 & 2004) the group’s main activities were concentrated on the three main directions: The extensive Monte Carlo studies on the calorimeter structure (W + Si sensors) and optimisation of its segmentation using Geant 3.21 program for detector description, BHLUMI/BHWIDE generators for Bhabha events and CIRCE and GwineaPig for beamstrahlung background simulation. As an example of the result: for 30 tungsten layers each 1 X0 (0.35 cm) thick and Si sensor strips planes (0.05 cm) calorimeter version, the polar angle σ(θ) resolution of the detected electrons was 4 ∗ 10−5 rad for 250 GeV beam energy and the energy resolution ΔΕ/Ε ~ 0.32/√Ε . Those results can be compared with another proposed version of the calorimeter consisting of Si sensor pads: σ(θ) ~ 15 ∗10−5 and ΔΕ/Ε ~ 0.25/√Ε. Further detailed comparison between those versions will be done to make a final choice of the most promising version. The test of the method’s usefulness for position measurements of the calorimeter using a laser beam spot was done. The position measurements (X and Y directions) with He-Ne red laser and CCD pixel camera allow obtaining a resolution in the range of a few μm. The studies on the proposed segmentation of the silicon sensors and on sensors readout electronics which can be used for the construction of the prototype. The results of these studies were presented in 8 talks at International Workshops/Conferences (including LCWS 2004) and Forward Calorimeter (FCAL) Collaboration meetings. One article (with two members of group as authors) was published in IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, vol 51. (2004) 2983. 7. Plans for the coming 2 years (projects, collaborations) Monte CARLO : Continuation of MC studies of LumiCal for more realistic design, including effects of the mechanical frame and realistic sensor design. Detailed comparison of pad and strip versions to choose one for the final version of the prototype. Full simulation including electronics and digitization (noise, cross talk and calibration uncertainties). The estimation of the influence of the physics background and improvement of the reconstruction algorithm for detected electrons. Adaptation of modern tools in simulation: Object Oriented Software used in the ILC studies simulation framework (Java, Root, Geant 4, Mokka ). Mechanics: A detailed design for mechanical decoupling of the sensor planes from absorber disks, calculations of the deformations from gravitational sag including the ceramic sensor carriers. Alignment: Prepare a prototype for laser alignment system and perform systematic studies of its performance. Prototype: Built the first prototype based on 4-inch Si sensors technology with thirteen tungsten layers covering 2×150 in azimuth and structured in 22 concentric strips (pads). Full test of the system will be done firstly in the lab and then at the test-beam facilities (DESY and CERN). Verification of the simulated results by a comparison with test beam data . Support Looking for support after the year 2005. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements Possible closer collaboration with other groups working on similar subject (from U.S.A., France) to share their ideas and possibly to incorporate new technologies. Two people are foreseen to join the project. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–29 Internal Project Number 114 Project Leader: Dr Eng. Jerzy Michałowski 1. Title CARBON COMPOSITES OF SPECIAL PROPERTIES 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) 1. Within the frame of the project a test apparatus for determining fatigue properties of disc samples made from C/C composites and designed for preparation of artificial heart valve was layed out and accomplished. 2. The development of new composites based on carbon nanotubes for different technical and medical application requires an extensive testing of their physical, chemical and mechanical properties. The project will explore a potential of utilization of carbon nanotubes in the form of MWCN (multiwall carbon nanotubes) and SWCN (single wall carbon nanotubes) for composite technology. Such composites may be considered to be used in as the constructional elements of the devices and equipments applied in the experimental physics. The project aims at determining of electrical and thermal properties of composites prepared with the use of the mentioned two types of carbon nanofibers and two types of matrices, namely polymeric and carbon ones. The composite samples will be prepared in the form of thin sheets varying in the volume fraction of carbon constituents. The electrical properties will be determined by standard two points method, whereas thermal conductivity will be measured by comparative cut – bar technique. This project will be realized in collaboration with the Department of Biomaterials, of the Faculty of Materials Engineering and Ceramics, AGH University of Science and Technology. 3.

Title PREPARING TO STUDIES AT NEW ACCELERATORS IN CONJUCTION WITH THE PROGRESS IN THEORY OF HIGH-ENERGY AND PARTICLE PHYSICS 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The main aim of the project is the analysis of the mechanisms of high-energy processes in terms of QCD- inspired models. In particular, we try to understand to what extent the unintegrated parton distributions (quarks, antiquarks and gluons) are universal objects to be used as the building blocks for high energy processes. The second objective is a better understanding of the mechanism of exclusive processes. We are interested in both non-perturbative effects as well as in the pQCD dynamics. 3.

Contrary to the recent claims in the literature we found out that the gluonic mechanism all alone does not describe the spectra in the fragmentation region. We proposed the new mechanisms which involve the quark degrees of freedom. The missing mechanisms lead to the asymmetry of π+ and π- production. A good description of the SPS data was achieved down to pion transverse momenta of about 0.5 GeV. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–32 Transverse momentum distribution of gauge bosons was calculated in the formalism based on unintegrated parton (quark, antiquark) distributions obtained as a solution of the called by us Kwieciński equations. The obtained transverse momentum distributions are compared with the Tevatron data. Predictions for RHIC and LHC were given. Total cross sections and correlation observables for heavy quark pair photoproduction were calculated in the approach based on uGDF. Different uGDF were used. The theoretical azimuthal correlation functions were compared with the FOCUS experimental data. New correlation observables were proposed. We constructed a two-component model for the photon-proton total cross sections. This model includes the resolved photon component which plays a crucial role for small photon virtualities. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) We are going to continue the studies of the meson production in proton-proton collisions. In particular, we are going to perform the calculations relevant for the recent RHIC (PHENIX, BRAHMS) data. Our approach in relation to the standard collinear approach will be studied. In addition, we would like to study the Higgs boson production in terms of unintegrated gluon distributions from the literature. We wish to study differential Higgs distributions and the competition of different Higgs production mechanisms more differentially (kinematics + cuts). 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements We are going to increase the staff working on the project for the one postdoctoral. Annex E.

Title THEORY AND PHENOMENOLOGY OF FUNDAMENTAL INTERACTIONS INCLUDING EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS IN PARTICLE PHYSICS. 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The research carried out in the Department concerns the theory and phenomenology of the fundamental interactions with a special emphasis on the experiments in the elementary particle physics. In particular, it concerns the calculations for the largest existing accelerators (HERA, LEP, B-factories) as well as the planned accelerators of the next generation (linear e+e- colliders, muon colliders). A special emphasis is put on the studies for the LHC collider, which is currently under the construction at CERN. The main tool used in the calculations are the Monte Carlo algorithms that simulate processes of the production and decay of the particles. The other fields of research pursued in the department are related to the studies on the Standard Model and its generalizations, the theoretical studies of the production and decay mechanisms of heavy quarks and the studies of the fundamental space-time symmetries in classical and relativistic quantum mechanics. 3.

Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) In the years 2005-2006 we are going to continue the research on the theory and phenomenology of fundamental interactions in close connection with the leading experiment in elementary particle physics. We intend to put the emphasis on the theoretical calculations and the Monte Carlo simulations related to the currently under construction LHC accelerator at CERN. This will be done in collaboration with the CERN PH/TH division within the framework of the ToK programme of the European Community. Simultaneously, we would like to continue our studies related to other existing accelerators (HERA, Bfactories) as well as the studies related to the physics of proposed future accelerators (LC, CLIC, muon collider) with the help of algebraic, analytical, semi-analytical and numerical calculations and tools. We would like to continue the studies on the Standard Model and its extensions, as well as on fundamental properties of space and time in classical and quantum physics. In order to achieve these aims successfully, we need to collaborate with CERN in Geneva, DESY in Hamburg, KEK in Tsukuba, SLAC in Stanford, Fermilab in Chicago, LAPP in Annecy, Karlsruhe Univ. in Karlsruhe, MPI in Munich and many other leading laboratories all over the world. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The accelerator and non-accelerator based research program in particle physic has a clear development program until the year 2025. Since it addresses the vital questions of our understanding the basic concepts of the time, the space and the universe origin, it will be undoubtedly continued in one form or another until the end of our civilisation. The world class level research activity of the department cannot be continued or broaden without the fresh influx of the human resources. A rough estimation of the needs in terms of new staff (scientists) is necessary (about 20 people for over the next 20 years). Annex E.

We are involved in the highest priority astroparticle research of the modern astrophysics and cosmology, such as the problem of dark matter and its role in the formation of first structures in the Universe, the origin of the highest energy cosmic rays, neutrino astronomy and neutron star physics. We study the formation of first stars in lambda cold dark matter Universe and in MOND cosmology. We investigate the mechanisms of particle acceleration in magnetars and in ultrarelativistic shock waves. We study the prospects of neutrino detection from the nearby stars in advanced evolutionary stages. Also the kaon condensates in neutron star matter are studied. 2. Main topics of the project are: a) Analysis of noncanonical quantization schemes which coexist with given equations of motion. Investigations of their physical consequences and their relations to canonically inequivalent Hamiltonian formulations of the same Newtonian dynamics. b) Applications of combinatorial methods in many body quantum physics, quantum optics and quantum field theory.

Physical mechanisms responsible for generating flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies were identified which played the same role as dark matter component. The formation process of the first stars in the MOND cosmology was explained and the puzzling high rate of structure formation in this model was clarified. It was shown that models of kaon condensation in neutron star matter based on chiral perturbation theory are thermodynamically inconsistent. This shows that neutron star studies can test the effective models of hadronic interactions in a new way, thus it can provide the additional results exceeding purely astrophysical aspects. 2. a) It is well known that classical Newtonian dynamics admits canonically inequivalent Hamilton formulations. We have shown how such alternative Hamiltonians lead to noncanonical Poisson structures which may be considered as classical analogues of the noncanonical quantum commutation rules. After quantization both canonical and noncanonical quantum systems obey the same Heisenberg equations of motion but many their physical properties appear to be different. Alternative Hamiltonians can not be identified with the energy which leads to the non-standard thermodynamics. The coordinate operators become non-commutative and this indicates the non-commutative geometry of the underlying spacetime. b) We solved the boson normal ordering problem for [q(a+)a + v(a+)]n with a single annihilation operator a and arbitrary functions q and v of creation operator a+. Our method uses the properties of exponential operators which generalize the shift operator and which action can be expressed in terms of substitutions. A solution of the normal ordering problem obtained in such a way is related to a special class of polynomials, called the Sheffer’s and they are widely applied in combinatorics and umbral calculus. Normally ordered functions of creation and annihilation operators were applied in order to investigate partition functions and the Green function generating functionals of model quantum systems. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) We are going to continue our researches within the two projects mentioned above. However, some new astrophysical research directions are considered. In particular, the acceleration mechanisms of cosmic ray particles and the role of magnetars as cosmic accelerators are studied. This is related to our participation in Pierre Auger project, a multinational collaboration, which will fully develop in the next two years. Also, the cooperation in the fundamental physics with researchers in France and Czech Republic will be continued. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements Astroparticle research in, both, astrophysics and cosmolgy, is a rapidly developing field with good prospects. In the next two years we would like to employ a new post-doctoral to do the work in astrophysics. Also, we are going to develop the research in fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics. We have a very good PhD student, P. Błasiak, who is a promising candidate for post-doctoral position. Annex E.

Title PROPERTIES OF FEW NUCLEON STRUCTURES AND THE INTERACTION OF COMPLEX NUCLEON SYSTEMS 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The motivation is to study properties of neutron reach light nuclei far from the stability line like 5H, 6 He, 8He, 9Li to see what sort of structures exist in those nuclei e.g. t + t clustering in 6He, neutron configurations in α + 2n structure. The experiment was performed using 6He at the Dubna Radioactive Ion Beam facility (DRIBs) and 6He(p,3H)4He reaction. Resonance scattering of 8He on hydrogen target led to the determination of T = 5/2 states in 9Li. The experiment was performed at the ion separator Acculina. The evidence for the low lying T = 3/2 isobaric analogue states in 5H and 5He nuclei was found. The results are presented in five papers published in Nuclear Physics A (2004). Using light heavy ion beams (12C, 9Be, 11B) the U200P heavy ion Warsaw Cyclotron several multi-step reactions on light nuclei targets from 9Be to 28Si were studied. The motivation was to study the coupling between various reaction channels and optical potentials of unstable particles showing up in the intermediate states. Liquid to droplet (fog) phase transition was studied for Au nuclei excited pure thermally by the 8.1 GeV protons from the Dubna synchrophasotron. New result was obtained on the radii of transition state and freezeout state of the excited Au spectator. The first direct evidence of the spinodal decomposition of the remnants of 197Au nuclei.

The N=32 subshell closure in neutron-rich nuclei was confirmed by the study of yrast structures in Ti isotopes. New results obtained for 56Ti invalidated theoretical predictions of a similar closure at N=34. High spin states identified in N=30 isotones displayed large energy gap between the p3/2 and f5/2 orbitals which gives rise to the N=32 closure. High spin states were identified in 207,208Pb isotopes extending to record values above I=26 involving two-particle two-hole core excitations. The simple additivity rule was found to govern energies of octupole vibrations coupled with various multiparticle configurations. 2. The Jacobi shape transition in hot, rapidly rotating 46Ti nucleus has been identified by the measurement of the gamma decay of the giant dipole resonance. The Coriolis splitting of the GDR strength has been experimentally observed for the first time. The preferential feeding of the highlydeformed band in 42Ca by the low energy GDR component has been found. 3. The superdeformed bands in 61Cu and 63Cu nuclei were identified for the first time by the measurement of the gamma-recoil coincidences. Several linking transitions to the normal deformed bands were also discovered giving the absolute excitation energies and spins of the superdeformed states in both nuclei. 4. The rotational ground-state band transitions in unknown 250Fm nucleus was observed for the first time by using gamma-rays and conversion-electrons. A quadrupole deformation parameter of β2 = 0.28 of the nucleus was measured. Non-yrast excitations were also investigated by the gamma-gamma-recoil tagging method. 5. The high-resolution spectroscopy measurements with the radioactive beams at the relativistic energies were performed by using the RISING setup at GSI Darmstadt. The energies of the first excited states and the B(E2)-values in 58Cr and 54Ni were measured for the first time. 7. In the search for the hyperdeformation a very long experiment was performed using the EUROBALL array at IReS. In the analysis an indication for the possible hyperdeformed structures in 122Xe was observed in the quasincontinuum region. 7.

After reaching the highest until now precision of 14 eV in determination of the Lamb shift in the highest electric field gradient which can be kept for a long time in the laboratory, i.e. for the field acting on 1s electron in the H-like Uranium and the highest precision of such measurements for Li-like ions of Au, Pb and U (accuracy of about 0.2 eV), the new experimental setups were constructed. This will permit to increase the accuracy by more than one order of magnitude. The setups were tested and the new experiments are scheduled for the years 2005 & 2006. 7. Plans for the coming 2 years (projects, collaborations) The Lamb shift value will be measured with the higher precision for H- and He-like heavy ions by direct measurements of the X-ray energies. Still higher precision of the Lamb shift evaluation can be reached in the Dielectronic Recombination (DR) studies. However until now, these studies were limited to Lilike ions (or ions with more electrons) by electron excitation energy which can be reached when using the cooler at the storage ring simultaneously as an electron target and for cooling the stored ions. Currently, the stochastic cooling of ions at the ESR is developed and the cooler will serve solely as the Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–46 electron target. This will enable to study the DR in He-like ions with very high precision and compare the results with the calculations of relativistic and QED effects. GSI team is the largest group in the world which investigates the atomic processes at the beams of heavy ions. In these experiments we collaborate with the other groups of atomists from Cracow, Kielce and Warsaw and from Germany, France, Italy, Romania, Russia, Sweden, UK, USA, China, India, Japan and Georgia. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The investigations will be continued until 2006 inclusive – until the person from the Institute, who is in charge of this experiment, will retire. 9. Comments, additional information The continuation of this subject could be very promising especially now, when the GSI obtained about 1000 M€ for a further development of the new experimental facilities, including the new accelerator system. However, the Division for Applied Nuclear Spectroscopy of the IFJ PAN took a decision of developing only such investigations in which the main part of experiments can be performed at home. Annex E.

General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The aim of this project is to describe of the properties of atomic nuclei near the drip lines. Due to the limited experimental data available in this region, the nuclear structure data must be combined with the nuclear reaction and decay data in order to put any stringent test on the parameters of any theory. The theory is designed to describe these employed here in Shell Model Embedded in the Continuum (SMEC) that takes advantage of the advanced effective Hamiltonian Shell Model, via the coupling to continuum scattering states, within the same framework is able to describe reaction observables. Within the SMEC we are able to describe all structure data including bound states of nuclei and the resonances, including their width, as well as the other spectroscopic values like γ transition probabilities, spectroscopic factors, multipole moments, etc. In addition, we can describe single nucleon removal energies which provide us with masses of the nuclei. On the reaction side such processes as elastic and inelastic scattering, radioactive capture reaction and charge exchange reaction can be described. Also decay processes can be described within this single framework like β-decay or two-proton radioactivity. A related theoretical tool is Gamov Shell Model (GSM), the shell model with basic supplemented by Gamov states and based on, so called Berggeren completness relation. This model at the present stage can describe all the structural properties of the atomic nucleus with the many body continuum coupling properly taken into account. 3.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–48 6.2 Main results and achievements (max. 200 words) Within the last two years a big project of calculation of oxygene and fluorium isotopes chains was completed. Firstly, two-neutron separation energies, as well as odd-even staggering (OES) of binding energies were calculated and compared with the available experimental data. The effect of approaching the proximity of the drip line was recognized and qualitatively described. The change of ratio of neutronneutron to neutron-proton force strength when approaching the drip line was established. Moreover, the details of influence of scattering S-matrix poles position on the size of the correction to the binding energy was discussed, with a little help from a simple analytical model. The possible limitation of the model for angular momenta l = 0 and 1 was established. Another disconnected, project comprise microscopic description of newly discovered in an experiment two-proton radioactivity and two-proton emission from excited nuclear states. This was discussed and compared in two limiting cases, namely the sequential decay and cluster diproton decay. We found out that for the decay of 1+ excited state of 18Ne the sequential mode dominates even in the case of intermediate resonance states’ absence. The mechanism proposed is the decay via continuum “tail” of the bound states (“ghost” states) of the intermediate 17F nucleus. On the other hand, the radioactivity of 45Fe was described via pure cluster emission, due to the closed intermediate channel. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) For the forthcoming years we are going to broaden our knowledge mainly in the two aspects. First of all, we would like to investigate the influence of the continuum coupling onto some spectroscopic values starting with the spectroscopic factors which describe single particle properties of nuclear states. Secondly, we will try to extend our previous calculation of nucleon radiative capture reaction to include an influence of the excited states of the target on this process. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements Application of this model to different nuclear systems. Comprehensive investigation of the magnitude and kind of the residual force coupling nuclear states bound and quasi-bound states with scattering states. One or two PhD students as well as a post-doctoral position are required. 9. Comments, additional information The project is run in close cooperation with Grand Accélérateur National d’Ions Lourds Laboratory in Caen (France) with prof. Marek Płoszajczak as the chairman.

General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The aim of this project is the theoretical research of the properties of muonic atoms and molecules and their interactions with matter. In particular, muonic hydrogen atoms aμ- and molecular ions abμinvestigated, where a, b denote hydrogen-isotope nuclei. Differential cross sections for muonic atom low-energy scattering from hydrogen-isotope molecules, including internal excitations of the impinging atoms and the target molecules, are calculated using quantum-mechanical methods. Both gaseous and condensed-matter targets are considered. Also the formation rates of muonic hydrogen molecules in condensed hydrogen targets are calculated. The results of this work are applied in the different branches of low-energy muon physics: spectroscopy of muonic atoms, muon-catalyzed fusion of hydrogen-isotope nuclei, and studies of weak interaction in μ- nuclear capture in muonic hydrogen atoms and molecules. The calculated cross sections of the considered processes are then used for the preparation of the Monte Carlo programs for different experiments. 3.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–50 6.2 The main results and achievements (max. 200 words) A general method for calculation of the differential cross sections for muonic atom scattering from hydrogen molecules, which takes into account the electron-screening and molecular-binding effects, has been developed. Then, the Van Hove formalism was adapted for the estimation of condensed-matter effects in scattering on solid hydrogen targets. A unique up-to-date set of the cross sections for muonic hydrogen atom scattering from free hydrogen molecules was calculated for all combinations of hydrogen isotopes. The cross sections for scattering in molecular quantum solid were obtained for polycrystalline H2, D2, and T2 targets. The obtained results were applied for planning and interpretation of experiments connected with diffusion of muonic hydrogen atoms, performed at PSI (nuclear μ- capture in pμ atom muCAP and measurement of the Lamb shift for excited pμ(2S)) and at TRIUMF (measurement of the scattering cross sections using muonic atom beams from multilayered frozen hydrogen-isotope targets). A general method of calculation of the rates of resonant ddμ and dtμ formation in condensed hydrogens has been developed. The obtained results enable to explain the unexpected density effects in muoncatalyzed dd and dt fusion which had been observed in experiments carried out recently at TRIUMF, JINR Dubna, and KEK-RIKEN-RAL. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) Preparation of the Monte Carlo program for simulation of nuclear μ- capture in a gaseous D2 target. Such experiment is planned at PSI in order to study a two-nucleon weak interaction. Calculation of the differential cross sections for scattering of muonic hydrogen atoms in mixed hydrogen-isotope crystals. These quantities are necessary to investigate the muonic atoms of short-lived radioactive nuclei. An experimental method for studying such atoms is being developed by the RIKEN-RAL team. Continuation of studies of muon-catalyzed fusion in dense H/D/T targets (experiments planned at JINR and RIKENRAL). 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements Investigation of properties and interaction (atomic cascade and scattering) of exotic atoms including pionic, kaonic, and antiprotonic atoms. The studies of properties of condensed hydrogens under low pressure. In particular, mixed quantum crystals with high tritium admixtures. Two PhD students are necessary for this research. Annex E.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 Chapters in monographs 1,2,19,20 Reports 25 E–52 6.2 Main results and achievements (max. 200 words) The phase diagram was established and ultra slow dynamics described of molecules for one of neohexanol isomers. Thermodynamical stability was analysed for the crystalline phases of hexyloxy cyano biphenyl. The nature of magnetic interactions and ordering was studied in rare earth – transition metal compounds. Unusually slow spin relaxation in low dimensional Mn-porphyrin magnet was observed. Intra-chain correlations in solutions of telechelich zwitterionic polymers were experimentally separated from inter-chain ones and studied by small- and wide angle neutron scattering. A series of demultiplexing devices of various size scales have been designed in cooperation with the Laboratory of Dynamics and Structure of Molecular Materials, University of Lille I. In the most tiny scale the structure consists of transition metal atoms deposited on an insulating substrate and is capable of directional ejection of electrons with a well defined energy. Geometrically similar structure made out of metallic clusters shows this property for plasmons and quite macroscopic model for the acoustic waves. Waveguide model for the pulse waves in the arterial system has been constituted and shown to reproduce the observed pressure profiles in various locations in the arterial tree. 7. Plans for the coming 2 years (projects, collaborations) An application for the PAN – CNRS (Poland – France) cooperation has been submitted concerning waveguides of different size scales, arterial tree included. Studies of nonlinear effect are planned. A cooperation with the University of Wrocław (Poland) on the nonlinear dielectric effect in newly synthesized ferroelectrics is in progress. 8.

Title STUDIES OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND MICRODYNAMICS OF METALS, ALLOYS AND INTERMETALLIC COMPOUNDS. 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The perturbed angular correlation (PAC) method is applied to determine the crystallographic sites occupied by the dilute impurity atoms of indium and hafnium – 111In and 181Hf, used as the radioactive probes. Moreover, the experimental results (i) give the electric field gradient values acting on the impurities in the lattices (ii), the temperature dependences of these gradients, and (iii) enable the observation of the structural phase transitions. The study (i) of the magnetic and electronic properties of rear earth alloys and compounds and (ii) of the magnetic properties of complex ruthenium oxides is performed with Mössbauer spectroscopy. Positron annihilation (PA) is used to investigate the crystal lattice defects in metals and alloys. It is specifically sensitive to open volume defects such as vacancies, vacancy clusters, microvoids or dislocations. The studies of ordering phenomena in metallic disordered alloys and compounds which are thought to be driven by geometry of the Fermi surface were recently revitalized due to development of experimental methods. The aim of our study is to map the full threedimensional Fermi surface of such materials via synchrotron-based, high-resolution Compton scattering experiments. 3.

Fermi surface (reconstructed from Compton profiles) and short-range order (by electron diffraction) of the Cu0.90Al0.10 and Cu0.84Al0.16 alloy single crystals, were studied. In the latter, the diffuse scattering was detected in the form of a pattern ascribed to the short-range order originating in the so called “nesting” of the Fermi surface. 7.

The vacuum is necessary for PA measurements of some polymers, porous materials, powders or nanomaterials which surfaces may adsorb gases. The possibility of temperature dependent PA measurements in metals and alloys would enabled to study of thermal generation of defects, annealing of nonequilibrium defects or the defect-impurity interaction dynamics.

General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) Properties of thin films and nanostructures are strongly governed by structural aspects and therefore characterization of deposition and arrangements on an atomic scale is needed. We need to know in detail not only the structure of material interfaces, but also their local chemistry and the effects of segregation and interaction between the components and their surroundings. In particular, two problems are studied: the modification of thin film growth with use of elemental additives, called surfactants, or by heavy ion applications (studies of Co/Cu and Fe/Cr multi-layers) the modification of mechanical and adhesive properties of metallic biocompatible coatings by metal ion implantation (composite coatings based on titanium for endoprostheses) This information is of great importance since the materials studied are applied as magnetoresistive sensors for magnetic storage devices. Also the biocompatibility of implanted titanium coatings is meaningful for medical applications. 3.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–58 6.2. Main results and achievements (200 words) An ultrathin film of indium deposited on Cu(111) has been studied and the surface alloys, Cu2In and Cu3In, which do not exist in these structures in the bulk, were found. The effect of a pre-deposited ultrathin film of indium on the deposition of cobalt on Cu resulted in layer-by-layer Co growth, in contrast to the three-dimensional growth observed without the indium surfactant. The surfactant effect is connected to the Cu-In surface alloys that form upon indium pre-deposition and influence the initial cobalt nucleation processes and indium segregation during deposition. The influence of In surfactant on the giant magnetoresistance effect and magnetization processes has been investigated in Co/Cu multilayers. It was shown that In, while added in small amount at multilayer interface, leads to well ordered structures and this effect is reflected in magnetoresistivity values that were also larger for samples with In, when comparing to pure Co/Cu multilayers. The condition for the implant to bind directly with a human bone is that an apatite layer, with a structure similar to that of the bone, should form on its surface. To accelerate the formation of this intermediate layer we introduced calcium and phosphate ions into the titanium surface by implantation. The results obtained for titanium coatings prepared this way indicated that the oxide layers, enriched with calcium and phosphorus ions, produced on its surface during implantation, increase the corrosion resistance of this material, irrespective of exposition conditions. 7. Plans for the coming 2 years (projects, collaborations) 1. The studies of the structural and magnetic properties of finite size and low-dimensional metal and alloys (Fe-Pt, Fe/Pd, Fe\Pt\Gd, Fe\Pd\Gd, Gd). In our studies we will investigate the interplay of different types of magnetic anisotropy and the relationships between a system microstructure and magnetic properties. Our research will be focused on chemically synthesized metallic nanoparticles and thin films grown by physical deposition methods (in cooperation with Darmstadt University of Technology). 2. The studies of binary alloys of 3d and 4f elements REX2 (RE – rare earth metal, X – Fe, Co, Ni) exhibiting Laves phase structures. We are going to study the structural and magnetic properties of REX2 intermetallic compounds prepared as epitaxial ultra-thin films. An influence of lowered dimensionality in these films is expected with respect to magnetic ordering and anisotropy behaviour (in cooperation with Konstanz University). 3. The studies of mechanical and adhesive properties of hard carbon and SixCy coatings as protective coatings for biomedical applications. Modification by ion implantation of corrosion properties of complex coatings (based on carbon and silicon) for protection of heads and cups of endoprostheses. 8.

Prof. Zdzisław Lalowicz 1. Title NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE (NMR) METHODS IN STUDIES OF STRUCTURE AND MOLECULAR DYNAMICS IN SOLIDS. 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) NMR methods allow to study a molecular mobility in a wide range of frequencies both for classical reorientation and tunnelling rotation. The molecular rotors like CD3, ND4+ and NH3D+ were considered. The theory of deuteron NMR spectra and relaxation provides a necessary background for the analysis of the experimental results. Methods to measure the tunnelling frequency were worked out. Barriers to the rotation and their symmetry are derived. A new project concerns free quantum rotors like D2, ND3 and CD4 inserted into a cage of zeolites. In this case, the translational freedom and the molecular collisions introduce new particularly interesting features. The molecules take the positions close to adsorption centers and their mobility may provide important information for characterizing zeolites as catalysers. Solid state MAS-NMR spectroscopy provides unique structural information about the local chemical environment of several elements. The main aim is to elucidate the coordination of both the building components of zeolite matrices (Si, Al, P) and the catalytically active species adsorbed on their internal surfaces (V, Ga, K). 3.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–60 6.2 Main results and achievements (max. 200 words) A theory of deuteron spectra supplies the ways to distinguish between cases of rigid, reorienting and tunnelling protons in NH3D+ ions. Moreover D-N and D-H distances can be derived precisely. The theory was checked on ammonium perchlorate single crystal, where an additional isotopic ordering was revealed. A theory of spin-lattice relaxation, involving an interference of dipolar and quadrupolar interactions, explains precisely the experimental results for single D2 molecules in the cages of NaY zeolite. Two time constants were observed at low temperatures for CD4 molecules in NaY zeolite. These were assigned to molecules in large and small cages, undergoing free or restricted reorientations, respectively. A domain structure was disclosed in an ordered phase of (ND4)2PbCl6 and (ND4)2PtCl4. A diverse mobility of ions in ordered domains and regions between them span over several orders of magnitude. Ammonium hexachlorometallates may be ordered according to the decreasing tunnelling frequency, which is related to the increasing potential barrier and unit cell dimension. This correlation was explained by density-functional theory (DFT). The size of the unit cell is governed by the nature of M-Cl interaction. The group of d-metals (Pd, Pt, Ir, Os, Re) exhibit a stronger covalent M-Cl bond and smaller unit cell, while p-metals (Se, Sn, Te, Pb) have the larger ionic charges and a larger unit cell. The calculated barriers show a good agreement with the experimental values. A method to determine the absolute aluminum content and coordination in ferrierite allows to evaluate the efficiency of the various dealumination as well as the silanization processes. The results correlate very well with the catalytic properties of this zeolite used on industrial scale world-wide. 7. Plans for the coming 2 years (projects, collaborations) The projects concerning the molecular mobility will be continued in the collaboration with the University of Turku in Finland. The studies of zeolites and the adsorbed molecules will be continued in the collaboration with the Institute of Catalysis and Surface Science of Polish Academy of Sciences in Kraków. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The development of our NMR spectrometer will be continued. The digital NMR console will be extended by adding the proton channel and two-frequency low temperature probe-head will be costructed. It will allow to apply the new experimental techniques. To realize our scientific project we need to employ two staff members with PhD and two graduate students. Annex E.

Title RESEARCH OF STRUCTURE AND LATTICE DYNAMIC OF CRYSTALS AND NANOMATERIALS BY COMPUTATIONAL METHODS 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The modern ab intio calculations provide a number of quantities, which can be measured. While the experiment strives to measure smaller objects the calculations become more complex with increasing number of atoms. Hence, calculations describe precisely small objects, so small that they are of interests to experimentalists. The quantities that can be calculated are: crystal structure, electronic band structure, electronic density, magnetic structure, effective charges, phonon frequencies, phonon density of states, coherent and incoherent elastic and inelastic neutron and x-ray scattering, thermodynamical functions, internal energy, free energy, entropy, heat capacity, Debye-Waller factor. One can animate atomic motion taking part in phonon vibrations. The mentioned quantities can be calculated for any pressure and frequently at elevated temperatures. The considered systems could be regular crystals, crystals with point defects, disordered crystals, surfaces, multilayers and interfaces. 3.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–62 Habilitation theses 3 6.2. Main results and achievements (max. 200 words) The following first-principle studies were carried out in the Department: The formation energies of Co, Cr, Fe impurities and vacancies in NiAl intermetallics were found. The antiferromagnetic structure of La2NiO4 crystal was reproduced by calculated magnetization density. A critical review of experimental elastic constants of AgGaX2 and CuInX2 (X=S, Se) chalcopyrites was performed on the basis of ab intio calculations of elastic properties. A complete elastic tensor of α and γ structures of MgxFe2-xSiO4 were determined for pressure up to 240 kB. Hence these data are important for interpreting sound velocity in geological measurements. Phonons were calculated for alpha and theta phases of corundum Al2O3, and the free energies indicate that destabilization of alpha phase at hightemperatures may occur when the increase of entropy is provided by porosity of the theta phase. The structural, lattice dynamics, elastic and thermodynamical properties of magnetic CuFeS2 were determined. By computing the free energies of two phases of CuInSe2 crystal it was shown that it can exist in both CuAu-type and chalcopyrite phases. Computed phonon dispersion curves of HgSe semiconductor with a zero energy gap were successfully compared with the inelastic neutron scattering measurements. It was also shown that occupation of conducting band has a severe influence on the LO/TO splitting. A lattice dynamics of orthorhombic ZnTe under pressure was calculated and successfully compared with the experimental data. With the calculated phonon dispersion curves of superconducting MgB2 the Brillouin zones with highest peak intensities of phonon peaks were selected and phonon dispersion curves were measured by x-ray scattering. Searching for the soft modes in ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 two order parameters were found. These modes describe the observed phase transitions. A method to construct a phase diagram for a system (CaCl2) with second-order phase transition was proposed. Ab initio calculation of phonons of urea molecular crystal with strong hydrogen bonds show agreement to phonon spectrum measured with incoherent neutron scattering. The series of (NH4)2MCl6 compounds with M=Pd, Pt, Ir, Os, Re, Se, Sn, Te and Pb were ordered according to the decreasing tunnelling frequency of ammonium ions, and correlated with the lattice constants. These results were obtained by a team consisted of 5-6 physicists. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) Calculation of phonons, lattice relaxation and reconstructure for simple metallic surfaces: phonons of Fe monolayer deposited on W(110), calculation will be compared to the experimental measurements. Phonons in thin multilayers and interfaces, like FeSi/Fe, FeSi2/Fe, Fe/Pt. Prediction of Brillouin zones with most intense phonon peaks in inelastic coherent scattering for the coherent x-ray measurements in ESRF of heavy element superconductor PuCoGa5, and uranium compound UCoGa5. Ab initio estimates of the electron-phonon coupling. Evaluation of method to include inharmonic effects into ab initio phonon calculations. Searching for phase transitions in materials with technological application. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements Long-term perspectives for the ab initio calculations are very promising. It seems that the majority of experimental works will have to be supplemented by the ab initio calculations. We clearly see this from the number of requests we receive to help the experimental findings. The personnel (7 people) are sufficient, although we expect to have more guests from abroad i.e. more Polish visitors and students who would like to learn the ab initio technique. When our new computer cluster with the 22 nodes will be in operation (the end February 2005), we should have reasonable computer power to carry on the computational plans. 9. Comments, additional information The Department has not enough office space for the staff. A lack of the space does not allow us to invite more visitors and students to work in the Department.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–63 Internal Project Number 401 Project Leader: Dr Jacek Jakiel 1 Title QUANTUM MECHANICS FOUNDATIONS AND GENERALIZATION OF QUANTUM MECHANICS 2 General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) Tunnelling is the phenomenon which is not included in the scattering theory. During scattering process particles can be reflected or transmitted (tunneled). The reaction between incoming wave function (flux) and outgoing (reflected) waves (flux) defines S matrix. Unitarity of S matrix does not allow analysing tunneling through the barriers. The same phase shift of reflected and transmitted waves causes superluminar (ultrafast) tunneling through the barriers. Scattering theory does not distinguish between reflection and transmission. 3 Budget (including personnel), national and international grants 2003 [€] 16446.0 16446.0 Project name/ Contract No. IFJ budget (1) TOTAL 4 Number of personnel participating in research Professors, Dr. hab Post-doctoral 1 Ph.D. students - 2004 [€] 10462.0 10462.0 Other 1 5.

Within this approach one can introduce selfconsistent definitions of the tunneling times. The worked out theory is used for explanation of some recent microwave and optical experiments on tunneling times. The phase shift analysis of transmitted and reflected waves in Nimtz experiments was done. Both waves, in case of symmetric barrier system, have the same phase shift which causes the higher particle speed under the barrier for tunneling channel. The tunneling time for asymmetric systems cannot be calculated without additional assumptions. Two point reflection-transmission boundary conditions are different from that used in the scattering theory. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) 8.

Title PHYSICS OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS; CLASSICAL CHAOS AND NONLINEAR DYNAMICS, PHYSICS OF FINANCE, STOCHASTIC PROCESSES 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The main aim of this project is to identify those features which are characteristic to complexity and thus are common to all systems that can be considered as “complex”. Complexity is inherently related to systems with many degrees of freedom, strongly, nonlinear interactions and hierarchical organization of structure. Such concepts like chaos, collectivity, stochastic processes, critical phenomena, multifractals, and even non-extensivity, seem at present to provide a natural basis and paradigm to address these issues. We have arguments in favour of the statement that it is the financial world which is one of the most complex in the universe and therefore the most challenging. 3.

This implies complex critical exponents and results in the long-periodic modulations superimposed on top of the conventional power-law behavior. Furthermore, theoretical and empirical evidence is collected that the imaginary part of this critical exponent is common to all the markets. On the way towards formulating a corresponding “microscopic” theory of the market dynamics various kinds of correlations, both in space and in time, with help of the correlation matrix and multifractal formalism, were studied and then quantitatively documented. In particular, it was shown that the time scales involved in emergence of the coherent market component get contracted when going from past to present. It was also systematically shown that the financial fluctuations reveal a pronounced multifractal scaling in price increments as well as in inter-trade intervals of time with certain relations between these two characteristics. These results may provide a guide-line for refinement of the Multifractal Model of Asset Returns. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–66 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) In the next 2 years we would like to explore further the issue of complexity and, in particular, to start developing models which could incorporate empirically identified stylised facts, as described above. We are going to consider the extension of our investigations of complexity by including certain linguistic issues, like those related to the Zipf's law. This research will partly be based on collaboration with the University of Rzeszów and with the Forschungszentrum Jülich. 8.

The hydrogen-in-polyethylene library at the MCNP code was modified to obtain a better agreement of the simulations with the results of the relevant real experiments. This work is continued for the inner sample being fully non-hydrogenous. The thermal neutron effective absorption in multi-grained media was studied theoretically and experimentally on the artificial models and geological samples. The basic theory is established. An optimal version of the neutron converter + filter/moderator, simulated numerically for the project of the BNCT radiation source at the MARIA nuclear reactor, is chosen. The relevant radiation doses from the therapeutic beam were calculated. The MCNP code was used to model the geophysical logging tools: the spectrometric neutron-gamma tools (SO-5-90, SO-5-90-SN) and the thermal-epithermal neutron tool (NNTE). The comparison of the outputs from the numerical simulations with results of real measurements on the calibration rock blocks is highly satisfying. The base is achieved to extend numerically the calibration of the existing logging tools and to design and improve prototypes. 7.

General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The investigation of the chemical properties of transactinide elements is a fundamental problem of the present-day radiochemistry. The survey is focused on the searching effective methods of nuclei of Rf, Db, Sg, Bh, Hs,112 and 114 extraction from the nuclear reaction products and isolation their lighter homologues, in particular Hf, Zr, Nb, Ta, Re, Os, Hg and Pb. The very low production cross section and short life-times of transactinides compel to develop fast and effective methods of isolation and chemical identification of these elements. In addition, the detailed comparison the chemical properties of the heaviest elements with the properties specific for their lighter homologues under identical conditions, in various chemical systems (in aqua chemistry) is necessary with respect to explore the role of relativistic effects in the chemistry of those elements. In Laboratory Chemistry and Radiochemistry in INP, the model experiments on the solution chemistry are carried out. We are looking for establishing the best chemical systems to fast isolation of the short-lived light transactinides homologues from number of products nuclear reaction (ie. lanthanides.). We use mainly the ion exchange methods in our investigation. 3.

The optimum conditions for sorption of the trace amounts of the no-carrier-added 212 Pb isotope on MeNF and MeNCF fall in the HCl concentration range :10-4 -10-2 Mdcm-1 were established . The lead(II) was well sorbed on MeIINCF and MeIINF performed under either the static or dynamic conditions. 2. On-line chemistry of short-lived isotopes of Os and Re, as homologues of Hs (element 108) and Bh(107) produced in the nuclear reaction at the (LNR Dubna) cyclotron were tested. We showed that Os is not adsorbed on the typical cationic exchangers (Dowex-50) but it is strongly adsorbed on anion exchangers from diluted HCl solutions. The developed system would be applicable for on-line isolation and chemical study of Hs and Bh in experiments associated with heavy ions. 3.On-line chemistry of isotopes Zr and Mo as the light homologues of Rf(104) and Sg(106) produced at (LNR Dubna) Microtron M-25 were studied. These elements were adsorbed in the various systems: inorganic acid solutions (0.05 MHCl,H2SO4 and in mixed HCl/HF, H2SO4/HF) and respectively, MeIINF or MeNCF with magnetic component. The methods of the effective separation Zr from Mo were tested under the different conditions; the mainly applied models appeared to be: Dowex-50-Dowex-1, NiNCF –Dowex 1, CuNCF-Dowex1 in 0.05M HCl/10-4HF solution. 4. The optimization of thermochromatographic conditions of the emanation no-carrier isotopes Hg-195 i Hg-197 (light homologues of 112 element).The isotopes of Hg were originated by the irradiation of Au metallic target with the 46 MeV proton beam of the AIC144 cyclotron IFJ PAN, Kraków. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) In 2003 in Laboratory of Nuclear Reaction (Dubna) the isotopes of 115 element with the mass number 288 and 287 were received for the first time in given reaction 243Am+48Ca→288115+3n; 287115+4n. . The isotope 288115 is subjected to five following α-decays results in forming long- lived 268 105 Db (T1/2= 16 +−19 6 h). Finally, the obtained product is exposed to the spontaneous fission. Relatively long live time of these isotopes of Db allows to conduct a new analysis focused on : 288 1) the chemical identification of 268 115 decay. This information 105 Db , the daughter originated from could give the proof supporting the synthesis of either 115 or 113 element. 2) establish the chemical properties of Db in water solutions, what requires the fixation of procedures of synthesis of high pure Nb and Ta fraction (light Db homologues). 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The collaboration between Laboratory Chemistry and Radiochemistry Institute Nuclear Physics and Laboratory Nuclear Reaction in Joint Institute of Nuclear Research in Dubna is predicted to the year 2006. We need to continue the surveys on the transctinides and their light homologues chemistry. To realize these projects, our Laboratory requires at least three high-qualified staff. Annex E.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–72 prospective use of a challenging dose of radiation combined with analysis of DNA damage by a single cell gel electrophoresis can be suggested as a fast and reliable predictive assay for the epidemiology and preventive medicine. Results of follow up research have shown that levels of cytogenetic damage (AbF- aberration frequency, AbC - % of aberrant cells) that had been detected in our monitoring studies (performed under EC projects during 1993 –2001) on one side are significantly associated with cancer incidence, on the other are influenced by confounding factors related to the lifestyle (i.e. occupational exposure or smoking). Our results, display that elevated frequencies in human lymphocytes of chromosome or chromatid aberrations are not only excellent assays for the retrospective biological dosimetry of adsorbed dose, but can also be reliable biomarkers of any chronic or inadvertent hazardous exposures. 7.

Original software was developed to analyse the data from the DTI experiments. For the first time, we showed that diffusion is biexponential in the human cervical spinal cord at high bvalues up to 7000 s/mm2. A long diffusion component may be useful in the diagnoses of White Matter fibres. (Submitted to Radiology). We also performed the first experiment of simultaneous recording of the function of the cervical spinal cord and brain under stimulation in the rat (Submitted to NeuroImage IF=6.9). We designed and constructed the special gradient coils capable of delivering gradients up 600 mT/m, a RF birdcage coil and a support system including temperature regulation and monitoring to do MRI on transgenic mouse heart. A dedicated fast MRI sequence based on gradient echo was developed to image mouse heart. The experiments are starting now in collaboration with the Department of Pharmacology Medical College Jagiellonian University. MRI was implemented to determine 3D channel structure in worked out teeth and their cement copies, prepared for making out inserts. It allows checking out the quality of the copies and may be used to produce a numerical model of the insert. MRI was also used to estimate the caries in decayed teeth. A dissolution of the different drug tablet compositions were evaluated by using fast MRI methods. 8. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) Projects concerning fMRI and DTI in the spinal cord will be continued on rats and on humans to develop clinical diagnostic protocol, which will be used on the patients with spinal cord pathologies. The investigations of non-mono-exponential diffusion in the spinal cord on rats and humans will be continued in order to develop some new techniques of assessing the spinal cord injury and appling it in the clinical diagnostics. Other projects will be continued. 9. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements Our Lab is the only facility in Poland to perform in vivo studies on animal models using MRI/MRS. We are going to expand our facility by acquiring a new 9.4 T animal MRI system with the infrastructure to become National Center for MRI in vivo serving all groups from Poland, in a similar way as it is in the EU countries. To fully realise this scientific project, we need to employ two MRI physicists with PhD, two biologists to take care on animals and to prepare animals for MRI experiments and one engineer for the technical development. PhD students are the essential part of the program. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–75 Internal Project Number 506 Project Leader: Assoc. Prof. Wojciech Kwiatek 1. Title BIOLOGICAL AND GEOLOGICAL MICROSTRUCTURES STUDIED BY MEANS OF NUCLEAR SPECTROSCOPY AND ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY. 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) Ion beam techniques have been used for trace elements determination in biomedical and geological samples using broad and focused (several micrometers in diameter) beams. Within larger European collaboration, the permeability of skin as a barrier for ultra-fine nanoparticles of TiO2 was studied using the microprobe of 2.6 MeV protons. Investigations, closely related to this type of research, with the use of synchrotron radiation were also carried out, particularly the elemental distribution within the tissue structures and iron oxidation states in cancerous prostates have studied using SRIXE and XANES. Proton microprobe setup was adapted to the use of targeted single ions bombarding living cells. Biophysical and biomedical research was carried out using the Mössbauer spectroscopy, polarographic methods and atomic force microscopy. In particular, electron and energy transfer in process of photosynthesis and mechanical properties of living cells (e.g. adhesion of ligand–receptor complex or elasticity of cells undergoing cancer transformation) have been studied. 3.

No. 4, 53 6.2 Main results and achievements (max. 200 words) In the 5th FP project NANODERM (Quality of skin as a barrier to ultra-fine particles) pathways of TiO2 nano-crystals penetration from sunscreens to inner parts of human skin were identified and a damage of cells due to photocatalysis of TiO2 was confirmed. In the experiments, mainly the microprobe and AFM facilities as well as radiolabeling with TiO2 activated at the IFJ PAN cyclotron were used. The experience with the microprobe permitted to start the 6th FP project CELLION (Studies of cellular response to targeted single ions using nanotechnology), which was coordinated by our group. The microprobe was adapted to a single ion bombardment of individual living cells. Tests of the facility were positive and regular investigations in collaboration with Medical School of Jagiellonian University and other eight European research centers will start in 2005. Determination of trace element concentrations by SRIXE and oxidation state of iron by XANES in 15 µm thick prostate tissue sections showed iron on 3rd oxidation state in cancerous tissues. Linear and cyclic electron flow within photosystem I and II were studied and a role of prenyllipids in the process of energy dissipation in photosynthesis was investigated. Binding force and molecular potential parameters for several pairs of ligand-receptor were measured. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) Investigations performed within the project NANODERM (see above) will be completed. Regular investigations within the project CELLION will start in 2005. Investigation of energy transfer during photosynthesis will be continued. We will be continuing also other studies in biophysics, environmental science, geology and others, e.g. studies leading to a production of different biosensors or investigation of pathways of contamination of drinking water reservoir for Kraków in Dobczyce. Microprobes of the synchrotron radiation will be used to study oxidation states of trace elements in biological systems by XANES method as well as chemical composition in biological systems by the FTIR spectroscopy.. The group coordinates the common research within the network CELLION composed of 10 large research centres in Europe. It also collaborates with numerous research institutes in the world, mainly in Germany (Leipzig, Darmstadt, Bielefeld, Münster) but also in Ukraine, Hungary, Italy, France, Belgium, UK, USA, Sweden, Singapore or Switzerland, and of course in Poland. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–77 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements Due to the unique collection of analytical methods (often much more sensitive than traditional methods used in medicine and biology) and the excellent collaborations with medical and biology researchers in Poland and abroad the group can have much broader program of investigations than it is nowadays possible. The constraints are: the staff and available time at the measuring facilities. At least an additional AFM must be purchased. Although, it is not possible to recruit more PhD students because of a limited number of their tutors, the best people from the present PhD students should be employed for training the next students and to develop further the investigations. 9. Comments, additional information Investigations performed by this group belong to those most rapidly developing in the Institute. In the investigations nuclear methods are used to study biological systems. The studies require a good knowledge both in nuclear physics and in cellular/molecular biology as well as special tools which can be found in nuclear research centres. Such studies are seldom undertaken by nuclear centres and nearly do not exist in medical schools or biological institutes. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–78 Annex E.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 Habilitation thesis 7 Reports 6 E–80 6.2. The main results and achievements (200 words) The aim of this project are the long-term measurements of concentration of six halogenated compounds (Freon’s F-11 (CFCl3), F-12 (CF2Cl2), F-113 (CCl2FCClF2), chloroform (CHCl3), 1,1,1-trichloroetane (CH3CCl3), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and SF6) performed in the densely populated urban area of Krakow in the years 1997-2004. The comparison of the monitored changes in the concentrations of CFCs compounds and Krakow meteorological conditions suggests that it exists the correlation between seasonal (wintertime) increase of measured compounds concentrations and the West direction of air mass advection. It is hoped that the comparison of the monitored changes in the concentrations of CFCs compounds will help in the estimation of the local CFCs emission. The development of the methodology for use of F-11, F-12 and SF6 in the studies of young groundwater systems is under way. A comparison of the SF6 and tritium methods has already been performed within the BASELINE Project (EVK1-CT-1999-00006) of the EU Fifth Framework Programme (cooperation with the University of Mining and Metallurgy). The chromatographic methods for measurements of Ar, Ne and N2 in water were also developed. Those methods allow the determination of the temperature of recharge and content of the so-called excess air in groundwater systems – the important hydrological parameters in the young groundwater dating techniques. The usefulness of both methods was confirmed during the examinations of the Bogucice sands aquifer – an important groundwater system in southern Poland. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) At this moment we already obtained the confirmation of the three grants from the KBN. The grants will be realized in the Laboratory during 2005-2007 and the total financial costs of grant is about 55000 Euro. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The Laboratory of Environmental Physics NZVI is localized outside of Institute of Nuclear Physics headquarters, i.e. in the seat of the Department of Environmental Physics, Faculty of Physics and Applied Informatics, University of Science and Technology (AGH). During the 2005 the move of the Laboratory is planed to the rooms of the IFJ PAN. After the move we would like to begin the investigations on the continuous measurements of the hydrogen concentration in the air. An adequate grant is under preparation to KBN on January 2005 as a deadline. Our group definitely needs the new staff: two researchers and one laboratory assistant. 9.

General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The Health Physics Laboratory specialises in preparation, development and application of new types of thermoluminescent (TL) detectors of radiation. The new detectors are developed in order to meet challenges introduced by various new activities involving ionising radiation, such as emergence of new techniques in cancer radiotherapy or more extensive human presence in space. Most of the research performed during the years 2003–2004 was devoted to these subjects. Within the medical applications our main effort was directed towards the development of a new 2-D TL dosimetry method for dose mapping in radiotherapy. We also studied the application of diamond detectors in this area. Our space research was related to our participation in the MATROSHKA project – one of the most ambitious dosimetric experiments in space – in the frame of which a human phantom was placed outside the International Space Station for a period of one year. Inside this phantom several thousand TL detectors, specially prepared at our laboratory, were located. Microdosimetric modeling of the response of TLD after heavy ion irradiation was also developed. 3.

Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–86 6.2. The main results and achievements (200 words) A prototype of a new TL reader, based on a CCD camera has been constructed. Replacement of the photomultiplier tube by a CCD camera in this reader enables two-dimensional dynamic readout of the TL light emitted from the detector, thus digital images of 2-D dose distributions can be obtained. To fully exploit the capability of this reader requires, large-area detectors need to be developed (the area of standard TLDs is a fraction of a square centimeter). Prototypes of such detectors with area up to 25 cm2 were constructed by using several methods. The most promising are detectors manufactured by mixing TL powder with the ETFE polymer, hardening in the form of a thin elastic foil under high-pressure at a temperature of about 260oC. The new detectors show very good mechanical resistance and flexibility. In February 2004 a phantom, i.e. a model of human body, was installed outside of the International Space Station. The phantom is equipped with over 5000 TLDs, most of which were prepared at this Laboratory at IFJ PAN. The aim of this project (named Matroshka and organized by the European Space Agency) is to measure cosmic radiation doses to particular organs of an astronaut’s body. The TLDs were successfully optimized for space dosimetry. We study their properties with ion beams at various accelerators (HIMAC in Japan, Brookhaven and Loma Linda in the USA). 7. Plans for the coming 2 years (projects, collaborations) Our group in 2005 and 2006 will be involved in two international EU projects (6FP EU): 1. 2. Methods and Advanced Equipment for Simulation and Treatment in Radiation Oncology (MAESTRO) Diamond Research on Interfaces for Versatile Electronics (DRIVE) and 3 projects financed by KBN: 1. 2. 3. Development of the Thermoluminescent Method of Dose Distribution Measurement Using the CCD Camera and Large-are Detectors Based on LiF and CVD Diamonds for Radio- and Brachytherapy; Development of the Method of Dose Equivalent Measurement in Mixed Radiation Fields Using Thermoluminescent Detectors A Method of Identification of Static X-ray Radiation Exposure of Thermoluminescent Dosemeter Used in Radiation Protection The ESA project Matroshka will be still realized in 2005. The study of TLDs with ion beams will be continued in the frame of the ICCHIBAN collaboration. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The work on the development of the new methods of TL dosimetry in medicine and radiation protection is performed in cooperation with different institutions in the frame of formal projects. In the frame of the MAESTRO project (Methods and Advanced Equipment for Simulation and Treatment in Radiation Oncology) three people are being hired (till April 2009): a young researcher, a chemist, and a constructor. The work on the diamond detectors will be continued in the frame of the Marie-Curie RTN DRIVE project (Diamond Research on Interfaces for Versatile Electronics). A young researcher will be hired in the beginning of May 2005 for three years. A proposal for another project for continuation of dose measurements on the space station using the Matroshka facility during next few years was initially accepted by the ESA. Two PhD students are working on TL space dosimetry. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–87 Internal Project Number 510 Project Leader: Dr Maciej Budzanowski 1. Title RADIATION PROTECTION AND DOSIMETRY SERVICES AT THE IFJ PAN KRAKÓW 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) At the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Krakow (INP) radiation protection dosimetry is performed mainly at the Health Physics Laboratory and at two accredited laboratories. The main task of radiation protection is to introduce a radiation protection quality programme in 17 isotope laboratories of the INP, to provide continuous education to radiation workers who belong to the potentially exposed group and to maintain exposure records from individual and environmental monitoring. The Calibration Laboratory for Radiation Protection Instruments (LWPD) is accredited by the Polish Centre for Accreditation (PCA) and has been complying with the ISO 17025 standard since the year 2001. The main accredited activity of the LWPD is the calibration of radiation measuring devices with gamma-rays (traceable to the Polish national primary standard at the Main Bureau of Measures - GUM). The calibration facility of the laboratory contains a Cs-137 source and an automatic computer controlled stand for positioning of the calibrated instruments at different distances from the source. The LWPD also performs calibration in terms of beta and alpha surface emission. The Laboratory is equipped in Am241, Pu-239, Sr-90, Cl-36 and C-14 standard large-area sources. The second accredited Laboratory of Individual and Environmental Dosimetry (LADIS) performs ionizing radiation dose measurements using the thermoluminescence (TL) method. The basic quantities measured are: personal dose equivalent Hp(10) and Hp(0,07) from photon and neutron fields, in mSv, air kerma and ambient dose equivalent H*(10) over the range from 30 uSv to 1 Sv. 3.

Main results and achievements (200 words) In 2003 dose measurements for ca. 3500 workers were performed at the Laboratory of Individual and Environmental Dosimetry (LADIS) of the Institute of Nuclear Physics. Presently, quarterly and monthly dose measurements for some 6000 workers in Poland are performed, mainly for oncology centres, hospitals, medical physics laboratories, research institutes and for the industry. The main photon dose measurements are personal whole body or finger doses. Environmental measurements and personal albedo neutron dosimetry are also carried out. LADIS participated in the 2004 Neutron Intercomparison organised at the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. In 2003 the Calibration Laboratory for Radiation Protection Instruments (LWPD) calibrated 783 radiation monitors from different institutions in Poland and 104 passive dosemeters for the INP, while in 2004 these numbers were 827 and 73, respectively. Over the years 2003–2004 the Health Physics Laboratory group gave eight General Radiation Dosimetry courses (for the INP Emergency Group) and trained 80 people in individual radiation dosimetry. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) The LWPD is going to extend its range of accreditation, by extending the range of calibration to higher doses. If possible, this will be realized by installing a second, stronger, gamma-ray source. The Laboratory for Individual and Environmental dosimetry (LADIS) will increase the number of customers. We expect that in the next two years the total number of radiation workers monitored in Poland by LADIS will increase to some 12000-15000. Finger ring dosimetry will become obligatory from 2005 at all hospitals and medical centres performing interventional diagnostics and intra-operative X-ray imaging. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The LWPD will continue performing calibrations of radiation measuring instruments, fulfilling the needs of an increasing number of customers. The LADIS in its long-term perspectives will require financial support to extend its instrumentation. The accredited and non-accredited staff is sufficient to perform dosimetry service for ca. 12000 workers, however the instrumentation needs to be extended. Another automatic TL reader and several new dosemeter badges will need to be urgently acquired. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–89 Internal Project Number 602 Project Leader: Dr Janusz Swakoń 1. Title DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROTON RADIOTHERAPY FACILITY FOR PROTON THERAPY OF EYE MELANOMA. 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The aim of the project is to establish a modern radiotherapy facility which would exploit beams of protons from the AIC-144 isochronous cyclotron of the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Kraków, producing 60 MeV protons. The Cracow Proton Radiotherapy Centre created as a result of this Project will become the only centre in Poland carrying out clinical work in proton radiotherapy, satisfying national needs (up to 200 cases per year) for treating ocular melanoma. Elements of the system of beam formation and dosimetry have been purchased and assembled. Further preparation and testing of the AIC-144 proton therapy beam will be possible when the beam is extracted and transported to the proton therapy stand (optical bench). 3.

The optical bench, used to form and control the therapeutic proton beam, was installed in the therapeutic room. The bench was equipped with beam forming elements (collimators, range shifter, range modulator), the instrumentation to determine beam parameters (the depth-dose curve over the extended Bragg peak region), a dosimetry system (a set of ionisation chambers and dosimeters), an eye positioning system during therapy, and a 3D-scanner of the beam. Annex E. Summary of research projects 2003/2004 E–90 2. First measurements of the depth dose distribution in PMMA for the 48MeV proton beam were preformed. The lateral distribution of the beam was found to be strongly asymmetric, requiring improvement of the beam extraction system. 3. Radiation protection measurements around the therapeutic facilities and in the cyclotron facilities during the beam operation have been performed. At beam intensities required for radiotherapy (1-10 nA) the measured radiation exposure is 2 orders of magnitude below limits. 7. Plans for the coming 2 years (projects, collaborations) During next two years we are going to install all remaining elements of the therapeutic system, particularly the treatment chair for positioning and immobilization of the patient, the set of the X-ray machines for patient positioning, the therapy control system, the data acquisition system, and the dosimetry system. Financing of this part of the project has not been obtained yet. The Cracow radiotherapy project is carried out in close collaboration with the other European proton therapy centres (HMI Berlin, INFN in Catania, Clatterbridge Centre of Oncology). The collaboration with INFN will take place within the EU 6FP MAESTRO project. We will use these collaborations for testing our equipment, to intercompare the dosimetry and therapy planning systems and to train our personnel, including medical doctors. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The present group of two physicists has to be extended to the number of 5-6 people in total, including two medical physicists (2 people) and a technician to complete the development of the facility and to prepare for its commissioning. Additional funding of 400 kEuro is needed to purchase the treatment chair and two X-ray machines. We expect to treat about 50 patients in the first year and about 100 patients per year in the next years. Annex E.

Title PRODUCTION AND APPLICATIONS OF RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES IN PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY AND BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES. 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The AIC-144 cyclotron operating in the IFJ PAN accelerates protons and alpha particles to energies of 22-60 MeV and 30-60 MeV. Owing to it many useful radiotracers can be produced, mainly in the (p,xn) or (α,xn) nuclear reactions. To meet the needs of several laboratories in the IFJ PAN and abroad, not only methods of production, isolation and measurement of radioisotopes but also the new separation and radiolabelling methods are developed within several scientific co-operations. The obtained carrier-free tracers (48V, 56,57Co, 73,74As, 83Rb, 82Sr, 85Sr, 95Tc, 95Ru, 99Rh, 105Ag, 125I, 206,207,208,209 Po, 211At) were used in solid state research, in the model studies on superheavy elements, in the environmental studies and in a preclinical nuclear medicine. The radiochemical techniques and the detection equipment are used for the development and evaluation of new sources for intravascular brachytherapy. The analytical techniques are also applied in the research on biochemistry of microelements, mainly selenium and iodine (cooperation: Medical College, Jagiellonian University). 3.

Title DEVELOPMENT OF SOLID STATE RADIATION DETECTORS 2. General description of the project – motivation, objectives (max. 150 words) The program contains two projects. The first one concerns the development of a new technology for the implantation of Germanium detectors and using them for the construction of the Germanium telescope. The second one is the SUCIMA project, realised in the European 5th FP. Its main aim is to develop an advanced imaging technique of extended radioactive sources for medical applications. The real-time dosimeter with high granularity of silicon sensors should boost the progress in such radiotherapy applications as intravascular brachytherapy , i.e. local radiotherapy of arteries and hadrontherapy, i.e. treatments of tumours with light ion beams. The SUCIMA cameras, by imaging the sources and measuring their doses, will maximize the safety conditions during the interventions and will improve the accuracy of both therapies. The dosimeter is based on the direct detection of ionizing particles in silicon pixel sensors realized in two different technologies: CMOS and SOI.. 3.

The main tasks of the IFJ PAN team in the SUCIMA project were the Data Acquisition Systems for the Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors in CMOS technology, silicon strip detectors and SOI test structures together with the dedicated Graphical User Interfaces for data visualization. The whole readout chains which consist of the dedicated hybrids, repeaters and imager boards were designed, built and tested. This DAQ fast electronics for the detectors’ signals capture, parallel digital processing, data compression and transmission was commissioned using different readout programs developed individually for each type of sensors. The SUCIMA imager modules are based on VIRTEX II – the most advanced XILINX FPGA chip. The readout programs were developed using the Xilinx Software in VHDL, the GUI programs - in LabView and C++. The performance of the developed SUCIMA fast cameras with the CMOS pixel sensors was demonstrated on a proton beam. Consecutive frames were acquired every 168 µs, which means that the strategic project objectives for the SUCIMA Imager electronics were fulfilled. 7. Plans for the next 2 years (projects, collaborations) The new collaborations were formed and based on achievements of the SUCIMA project and experience of the collaboration partners, submitted two proposals to the EU Commission, the first one entitled “Realtime Unit for Monitor Beam Applications” as a Co-operative Research Project and the second one in the LIFE program entitled “Silicon Eyes for ProteIn eXpression” as a Specific Target Research Project. 8. Long-term perspectives, including personnel requirements The SUCIMA project helped to equip the IFJ PAN electronics laboratory with the advanced tools, computers and software to develop, design and test fast readout electronics for silicon detectors. It will facilitate a participation in the ambitious future projects, both inside and outside the IFJ PAN. The SUCIMA research team is ready to help other IFJ PAN groups where the developed devices and techniques can be applied or easily adopted. Annex F. List of Publications Annex F.
