Sm(Fe1−xMx)12 ternary compounds based on the tetragonal ThMn12 structure where M is Ti, Si, V, Cr, and Mo were investigated. M atoms have a preference for site occupation. Ti atoms occupy the 8i or 8j site and Cr atoms occupy the 8i site. Curie temperatures on Sm(M,Fe)12 compounds are around 590 K except for the SmMo2Fe10 compound (Tc=483 K). The SmTiFe11 and SmSi2Fe10 compounds have a high saturation magnetization and magnetic anisotropy.
In this paper, we report the measurement relative to the production of forward neutrons in proton-proton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV obtained using the LHCf Arm2 detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The results for the inclusive differential production cross section are presented as a function of energy in three different pseudorapidity regions: η > 10.76, 8.99 < η < 9.22 and 8.81 < η < 8.99. The analysis was performed using a data set acquired in June 2015 that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.194 nb −1. The measurements were compared with the predictions of several hadronic interaction models used to simulate air showers generated by Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays. None of these generators showed good agreement with the data for all pseudorapidity intervals. For η > 10.76, no model is able to reproduce the observed peak structure at around 5 TeV and all models underestimate the total production cross section: among them, QGSJET II-04 shows the smallest deficit with respect to data for the whole energy range. For 8.99 < η < 9.22 and 8.81 < η < 8.99, the models having the best overall agreement with data are SIBYLL 2.3 and EPOS-LHC, respectively: in particular, in both regions SIBYLL 2.3 is able to reproduce the observed peak structure at around 1.5-2.5 TeV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
