In recent articles we have introduced Friedmann thermodynamics, where certain geometric parameters in Friedmann models were treated like their thermodynamic counterparts (temperature, entropy, Gibbs potential, etc.). This model has the advantage of allowing us to determine the geometry of the universe by thermodynamic stability arguments. In this paper, in search for evidence for the definition of “gravitational” temperature, we will investigate a massless conformal scalar field in an Einstein universe in detail. We will argue that the “gravitational” temperature of the Einstein universe is given asT g=1/2π) (ħc/k) (1/R 0), where R0 is the radius of the Einstein universe. This is in accord with our definition of “gravitational” temperature in Friedmann thermodynamics and determines the dimensionless constant as 1/2π. We discuss the limitations of the model we are using. We also suggest a method to generalize our “gravitational” temperature to arbitrary space-times granted that they are sufficiently smooth.

Measurement of differential cross sections for top quark pair production using the lepton plus jets final state in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2017-05-01) Differential and double-differential cross sections for the production of top quark pairs in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV are measured as a function of jet multiplicity and of kinematic variables of the top quarks and the top quark-antiquark system. This analysis is based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb(-1). The measurements are performed in the lepton + jets decay channels with a single muon or electron in the final state. The dif...
Temperature-dependent radiative lifetimes of excitons in non-polar GaN/AlGaN quantum wells Rudin, S.; Garrett, G. A.; Shen, H.; Wraback, M.; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Haskell, B.; Speck, J. S.; Keller, S.; Nakamura, S.; DenBaars, S. P. (2007-01-01) We report theoretical and experimental studies of radiative recombination of carriers in GaN quantum wells grown on low defect a-plane GaN templates fabricated by lateral epitaxial overgrowth. The radiative rates are presented as functions of temperature and well width.
Discrimination of chemicals via refractive index by EF-FLRD Yolalmaz, Alim; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih; Esentürk, Okan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-08-02) Design and application of an evanescent field fiber loop ring-down (EF-FLRD) spectroscopy system for discrimination of chemicals via their refractive indices are presented. To our knowledge, this is the first system that utilizes visible light. The system employs a broadband laser source at 800 nm at 80 MHz whose pulses were selectively picked by a Pockels cell to eliminate overlap of the pulses in the cavity. Chemically etched fiber region was used as a sensing element and eight organic solvents were discr...
Pressure dependence of the Raman frequencies of ammonia solid I near the melting point Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 2001-05-01) We calculated in this study the Raman frequencies of some lattice modes in the melting region of ammonia solid I. The Raman frequencies of those phonon modes were obtained through the Gruneisen relation using the volume data for the ammonia solid I from the literature. Our calculated Raman frequencies require for comparison the experimental Raman frequencies measured as a function of pressure for some fixed temperatures in the ammonia solid I.
Fluid model of dc glow discharge with nonlocal ionization source term Rafatov, İsmail; KUDRYAVTSEV, A. A. (2012-06-29) We developed and tested a simple hybrid model for a glow discharge, which incorporates nonlocal ionization by fast electrons into the fluid framework. Calculations have been performed for an argon gas. Comparison with the experimental data as well as with the hybrid (particle) and fluid modelling results demonstated good applicability of the proposed model.
