  • The recent neutrino experiment results show a preference on normal mass ordering of neutrinos. The global efforts to search for neutrinoless double beta decays undergo a broad gap with the approach to the prediction in three-neutrino framework based on the normal ordering. Current research is to show that it is possible to find a neutrinoless double beta decay signal even with normal ordered neutrino masses. We propose the existence of light sterile neutrino as a solution to the higher effective mass of electron neutrino expected by experiments under operation. A few short-baseline oscillation experiments gave rise to exclusion bound to the mass of sterile neutrino and its mixing with the lightest neutrino. It is demonstrated that results of neutrinoless double beta decays can also narrow down the ranges of the mass and the mixing angle of sterile neutrino.

  • The universe is thought to be filled with not only Standard Model (SM) matters but also dark matters. Dark matter is thought to play a major role in its construction. However, the identity of dark matter is as yet unknown, with various search methods from astrophysical observartion to particle collider experiments. Because of the cross-section that is a thousand times smaller than SM particles, dark matter research requires a large amount of data processing. Therefore, optimization and parallelization in High Performance Computing is required. Dark matter in hypothetical hidden sector is though to be connected to dark photons which carries forces similar to photons in electromagnetism. In the recent analysis, it was studied using the decays of a dark photon at collider experiments. Based on this, we studies double dark photon decays at lepton colliders. The signal channels are e+e- → A'A' and e+e- → A'A'γ where dark photon A' decays dimuon. These signal channels are based on the theory that dark photons only decay into heavily charged leptons, which can explain the muon magnetic momentum anomaly. We scanned the cross-section according to the dark photon mass in experiments. MadGraph5 was used to generate events based on a simplified model. Additionally, to get the maximum expected number of events for the double dark photon channel, the detector efficiency for several center of mass (CM) energy were studied using Delphes and MadAnalysis5 for performance comparison. The results of this study will contribute to the search for double dark photon channels at lepton colliders.

  • The nature and analysis methods of complicated decay profiles found in forced Rayleigh scattering (FRS) have been investigated for the probe diffusion of methyl yellow in 2-propanol. The complementary shifted and ground state grating effect, which is known to be the origin of non-single exponential decays, was analyzed by non-linear regression fitting to a double exponential model function. We confirmed that the parameters were highly correlated so that it was difficult to extract a unique set of parameters in the presence of experimental noise. Nevertheless, a reasonable range of decay time constants could be estimated from the grating spacing dependence.

  • In last few decades, although thermal and/or solutal buoyancy-driven recirculating flows in a closed ampoule have been intensively studies as a model problem, there exist interesting total molar flux of Hg2Br2 that have been unreported in the literature. It is concluded that the total molar flux of Hg2Br2(A) increases linearly and directly as the temperature difference regions in the range of 10℃ ≤ ΔT ≤ 50°, 3.5 × 103 ≤ Grt ≤ 4.08 × 103, 4.94 × 104 ≤ Grs ≤ 6.87 × 104. For the range of 10 Torr ≤ PB ≤ 150 Torr, the total molar flux of Hg2Br2(A) decays second order exponentially as the partial pressure of component B (argon as an impurity), PB increases. From the view point of energy transport, the fewer the partial pressure of component B (argon), PB is, the more the energy transport is achieved.

  • The changeable stress environment directly affect the propagation law of a stress wave. Stress wave propagation tests in sandstone with different axial stresses were carried using a modified split Hopkinson Pressure bar (SHPB) assuming the sandstone has a uniform pore distribution. Then the waveform and stress wave energy dissipation were analyzed. The results show that the stress wave exhibits the double peak phenomenon. With increasing axial stress, the intensity difference decreases exponentially and experiences first a dramatic decrease and then gentle development. The demarcation stress is σ/σc=30%, indicating that the closer to the incident end, the faster the intensity difference attenuates. Under the same axial stress, the intensity difference decreases linearly with propagation distance and its attenuation intensity factor displays a quadratic function with axial stress. With increasing propagation distance, the time difference decays linearly and its delay coefficient reflects the damage degree. The stress wave energy attenuates exponentially with propagation distance, and the relations between attenuation rate, attenuation coefficient and axial stress can be represented by the quadratic function.

  • 3-PM liquid scintillation counting using the geometry-efficiency variation technique has been applied to the activity measurement of $^{204}T1$, which decays to $^{204}Hg\;and\;^{204}Pb\;by\;{\beta}^-$ and E.C., respectively. The TDCR values K have been derived over a wide range, 0.78 < K < 0.97, by displacing the detectors up to 50 mm away from an unquenched liquid scintillation sample $^{204}Tl$. The derived plots of the logic sums of double coincidences $N_D(K)$ very K vary linearly in the observed regions. The fractions of losses due to electron capture decay have been taken into account by employing a PENELOPE Monte Carlo simulation. The calibrated activity is 102.3 kBq at a reference date of July 1st, 2002 (UT) with a combined uncertainty of $0.63\%$. This is consistent with the value determined by means of the CIEMAT/NIST method at KRISS.

  • A series of inert and photo-stable Er(III)-encapsulated complexes based on ${\pi}$-extended dendritic anthracene ligands bearing G3-aryl-ether dendron ([G3-AnX]-$CO_2H$), which retain different ${\pi}$-bridging systems, such as single (X= S), double (X= D) and triple (X= T) bonds was designed and synthesized to establish the structure-property relationship. The near infrared emission intensities of Er(III)-encapsulated complexes were enhanced dramatically by increasing the ${\pi}$-conjugated extension of anthracene ligands. The time-resolved luminescence spectra show monoexponential decays with a lifetime of $2.0{\sim}2.4ms$ for $Er^{3+}$ ions in thin films, and calculated intrinsic quantum yields of $Er^{3+}$ ions are in the range of $0.025{\sim}0.03%$. As a result, all Er(III)-encapsulated dendrimer complexes exhibit the near IR emission with the following order: $Er^{3+}-[G3-AnD]_3$(terpy) > $Er^{3+}-[G3-AnS]_3$(terpy) ${\approx}$ $Er^{3+}-[G3-AnT]_3$(terpy), because $Er^{3+}-[G3-AnD]_3$(terpy) has a higher relatively spectral overlap J value and energy transfer efficiency. In addition, the lack of detectable phosphorescence and no significant spectral dependence of the ${\pi}$-extended anthracene moieties on the solvent polarity support energy transfer from their singlet state to the central $Er^{3+}$ ion taking place in $Er^{3+}-[G3-AnX]_3$(terpy).

  • 본 연구에서는 음향적으로 결합된 공간에서 개구부의 크기변화에 따른 주관적 잔향감의 평가를 청취실험을 통해 실시하고 주관적 잔향감을 예측할 수 있는 새로운 물리적 지표를 제시하고자 하였다. 대상공간의 물리적 음향특성은 물론 주관적 음향평가를 위하여 1/10 스케일의 모형을 제작하여 실험에 사용하였다. 주관적 잔향감평가를 위해 바이노럴 임펄스 리스펀스(binaural impulse response)를 더미헤드(dummy head)를 이용해 녹음하여 가청화작업(auralization)을 거쳐 청취실험에 음원으로 제시하였다. 청취실험결과, 주실이 흡음력이 낮은 잔향부실과 음향적으로 결합할 경우 개구율이 12.5%(주실면적대비 1.97%)일 때 주관적 잔향감이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며 개구율이 25%(주실면적대비 3.94%)이상일 때 주관적 잔향감이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다 주실이 흡음력이 높은 흡음부실과 음향적으로 결합할 경우 개구율이 $0%{\sim}6.25%$까지(주실면적대비 $0%{\sim}0.99%$)는 주관적 잔향감이 변화하지 않다가 개구율이 12.5%에서부터 점차적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이중감쇠현상을 나타내는 물리적 지표 T30/T15는 개구율의 변화에 따른 주관적 잔향감과 상관도가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으며 저자들이 제시한 새로운 지표 T30/Tbp이 주관적 잔향감과 높은 상관도를 보였다. 또한 개구율 변화에 따른 이중감쇠현상은 초기나 중기감쇠부분에서보다 후기감쇠부분에서 에너지가 현저하게 증가하는 것으로 나타나 T30/T15에 비해 LDT/EDT나 T3/T1가 주관적 잔향감과의 상관성이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

  • 금강하구언에서 낙조동안 인위적으로 방류된 담수의 하구 내 거동을 파악하고자 1997년 5월과 1998년 7월에 각각 수로방향으로 설정된 3개 지점에서 표층 염분변화를 관측하였으며, 1999년 7월에는 군산-장항간 도선항로를 따라 18일간 표층염분과 수온을 관측하였다. 관측된 염분변화의 특징으로부터 방류된 담수가 하구 내에서 거동${\cdot}$소멸하는 과정을 분석하였다. 담수가 방류되면 저염수는 하구 폭 전반에 걸친 강한 염분전선을 형성하며 담수거동은 기본적으로 조석운동에 동조되어 수로를 따라 왕래하고, 이 전선의 통과로 염분은 급격한 변화를 보인다. 수문개폐로부터 한 조석주기 이후의 하구 폭 평균염분의 시간적 변화로부터 해석된 수로방향의 공간적 분포는 전선역에 담수희석수가 응축되며 표층염분이 상류쪽으로 갈수록 점진적으로 증가하는 것으로 제시되었다. 이러한 염분의 전선역 분포는 두 시간정도의 하구언 수문 개방에 의한 급작스런 담수공급과 중단에 의해 발생한 것으로 해석되었다. 매일 담수방류의 반복은 수문 개방시기에 의해 이전의전선과 새로운 전선의 분리(이중전선) 혹은 병합을 만들고, 담수공급이 2일 이상 중단되면 염분이 증가되며 전선이 소멸한다. 또한, 표층염분 변화에 나타나는 변동과 변이는 하구언에서 인위적으로 행해지는 담수 방류량 차이에 의해 발생하는 염분전선의 세기와 통과시기의 공간적 차이, 그리고 일시적인 하구수로 방향을 따른 염분전선 등에 의한 것으로 해석되었다.

  • 최근 다양한 목적의 대공간 사용이 보편화되고 있다. 이들 공간에 대한 다목적요구로 인해 최근 건립되는 대형 스포츠시설들은 스포츠뿐만 아니라 공연과 같은 다양한 이벤트를 수용하도록 요구받고 있다. 다양한 이벤트 상태의 제공을 위해서 건물의 일부를 부분적으로 개폐하는 방식의 사용이 빈번해지고 있으며 이와 같은 부분적 개폐는 자유음장과 확산음장의음향적 연결을 초래하여 음향설계단계에서 어려움을 초래할 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 1/10 축소모형을 이용하여 확산음장과 자유음장의 음향적 연결에 따른 음장의 음향특성을 측정 분석하였다. 연구결과, 저중주파수 대역에서의 잔향시간은 개구율이 증가함에 따라 고주파수 대역에서보다 빠른 감쇠를 나타내었다. 또한 EDT는 모든 주파수대역에서 개구율 증가에 선형적으로 비례하여 감쇠하는 것으로 나타났다. 명료도는 개구율이 12.5%에 이르기까지 거의 영향을 받지 않으며 그 이후에는 선형적으로 비례하여 증가하였다. 에너지 감쇠패턴의 분석결과, 이중 및 삼중의 감쇠패턴이 나타나고 있으며, Schroeder 적분에 의한 잔향시간의 산출은 부적절한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 부분적 개방형 공간의 잔향예측에 있어서 EDT가 보다 적절한 것으로 판단된다.
