Addition of a Λ-hyperon to non-strange nuclei can result in an increase of binding energy and formation of bound hypernuclei with unbound nucleon cores, effectively shifting the nucleon drip lines on the hypernuclear chart. The structure of light neutron-rich hypernuclei is treated within the Hartree-Fock approach with potentials in the Skyrme form. We show that nuclei 10Li is likely bound by a Λ-hyperon, while adding the hyperon to 9He and 10He does not bind them.

This study describes the angular distributions of nuclear fission fragments, based on the following main approaches: the fissile nucleus remains cold until it scission into fission fragments, the formation of spin and orbital moments of fission fragments occurs due to transverse bending and wriggling vibrations. Using the wave functions of zero transverse bending and wriggling vibrations, an analytical formula was constructed to estimate the average value of the orbital momentum and the angular distribution of fission fragments. These results are important for understanding nuclear fission processes and can be used to model them more accurately.

Model of polymer destruction under the action of superthermal atomic oxygen
N. P. Chirskaya$^1$, E. N. Voronina$^{1,2}$, L. S. Novikov$^1$
This work examines existing approaches to simulation of polymer materials destruction processes under the action of superthermal oxygen atoms with respect to the conditions of the near-Earth space. The parameters of the reactions between hyperthermal oxygen atoms and a polyimide monomer, leading to the formation of volatile products such as CO2, CO and OH have been calculated using the density functional based tight-binding (DFTB) method and molecular dynamics method. The parameters obtained with two methods were compared.

Analysis of heavy quark production processes in proton collisions at the energy of 13 TeV
I. A. Kochergin, L. N. Smirnova
The results of experiments at the Large Hadron Collider gave clear confirmation of the modern Standard Model (SM) of fundamental interactions, but at the same time they raised the challenge of expanding this model to solve its existing problems. One of the demonstrations of the SM expansion models is new massive carriers of interactions, which can be detected in the form of resonances. Particular attention is paid to the search for resonances that are born accompanied by heavy quarks and decay into heavy quarks. To analyze such processes, we consider systems consisting of two t and two b quarks, formed in pp collisions at an energy of 13 TeV, where a maximum cumulative luminosity of 140 fb-1 has been accumulated. The work presents models of interactions that include the birth and decay of such resonances. Methods for their identification and categories of events in which pairs of heavy quarks are present, effective event analysis variables, and the relationship of these variables with resonance parameters are considered. The role of Monte Carlo modeling of SM processes and the birth of new resonances for describing the characteristics of measured interactions is shown. The results of a joint description of the characteristics of such interactions and preliminary estimates of the probability of the presence of new massive resonances in systems of several heavy SM quarks are presented.

Asymptotic formulae for estimating statistical significance of collider experiments
D. E. Gorin, O. S. Vasilevskii, L. V. Dudko, E. E. Abasov
This paper elaborates and expands on earlier presented likelihood-based asymptotic methods of statistical analysis in high-energy physics. An explicit derivation of earlier presented asymptotic formulae for estimating the statistical significance of the discovery of new phenomena and setting upper limits on parameters of «new physics» models is given using the results of Wilks and Wald. The formulae obtained in combination with the use of the so-called «Asimov dataset» are of great interest due to their simplicity and the possibility of accounting for systematic uncertainties. The methodology of using these formulae is also shown in this paper and their accuracy is being verified by Monte Carlo modeling.

Study of degradation of optical properties of solar protective coatings batteries of high-orbital spacecraft under the influence of electrons and protons
A. M. Shamaev
The results of experimental studies of the decrease in the transmittance of K-208 glass sam-ples under the influence of electrons and protons with energies from 10 to 50 keV are presented. Irradiation was carried out in a vacuum of 10–4 Pa at particle flux densities in the range from 1010 to 2.5×1011 cm-2s-1. The degradation of the optical properties of the studied samples at low and medium irradiation doses is due to the accumulation of color centers and changes in the structure of their irradiated surface during electrostatic discharges due to the formation of microprotrusions and discharge channels. At high radiation doses, degradation is also associated with a change in the stoi-chiometry of the glass. and from contamination of its surfaces with plasmoids released into the sur-rounding space during discharges. It has been established that the influence of the accumulation of color centers in glasses during electron irradiation with doses corresponding to dose loads during the period of their operation in geostationary orbits does not lead to significant changes in their op-tical properties

The properties of iron-containing bentonites synthesized by chemical coprecipitation from aqueous solutions of iron salts have been studied. To characterize the synthesized composites, Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements were used, the results of which were determined by the content and valence state of iron ions localized in the structure of bentonites, as well as the composition of inclusions of iron-containing compounds. Structural features and their relationship with magnetic properties for a mixture of iron oxides and bentonite-iron oxide composites were studied using Mössbauer spectroscopy methods. As a result of the synthesis, composite powder materials based on bentonite and ferromagnetic oxides Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3 were obtained. It has been established that when moving from an oxide mixture powder to a bentonite-iron oxide composite, the values of remanent magnetization and saturation magnetization decrease significantly, while for magnetic parameters determined by crystallographic anisotropy and anisotropy of particle shape, the opposite trend is observed. It has been shown that the magnetic properties of bentonite-based composites depend on the nature of the localization of iron oxides and the ratio of their concentrations. Localization of Fe2+ ions in the bentonite structure was discovered near oxygen vacancies forming octahedral positions.

S. M. Baraishuk
The work studies the structure of a coating based on Mo/silicon substrate radiation using a combination of ion-assisted and magnetron deposition in various modes. It is shown that the surface of the coating has a structural composition and demonstrates radiation-stimulated diffusion of molybdenum into the depth of the substrate with a concentration of up to 1 at%, to a depth of up to 500 nm. The resulting coatings have stable resistive and thermoelectric properties and a wind roughness of no more than 2.5. nm in conditions of 10x10 nm and provide strength properties and density. The hardness of the coatings, obtained by interpreting the indentation results, is up to 70 GPa and controlled wettability, obtained by interpreting the indentation results, which makes it possible to subsequently form protective or electronic layers from them, makes it possible to form thin-film IR emitters based on MoSi2 from them, which is extremely important. when creating optical gas analyzers. built on the principle of dispersive-free IR spectroscopy.

On the assessment of target heating by an electron probe. Results of mathematical modeling

Mathematical modeling methods are used to estimate the heating of solid targets irradiated by a kilovolt electron beam. When carrying out the calculations, a mathematical model was used that takes into account the separate contribution to the energy loss of electrons absorbed in the target and backscattered. The calculation results showed that for heavy targets the dependence of target overheating on the beam electron energy is non-monotonic: in the region of about 3-4 keV a local minimum appeared, due to the significant contribution of backscattered electrons to the energy loss. A qualitative assessment of heat transfer by radiation showed that for a low-energy electron probe, when setting boundary value problems, it is justified to consider the body flux through the outer surface of the target to be zero.
