在除夜除夜都粒子加快或撒播幻想中 ,由加快极限或撒播相位改削招致的读旧宇宙射线光谱特点是电荷依托性的。可是事科 ,交互场景但凡展示出质量依托的学网光谱特点 。因难堪以测量单个粒子直至极高能段的出版能谱 ,如今仍窘蹙对天然界中幻想下场哪一种相干理论起感染的周论不美不雅不雅不雅不雅不雅不雅考验证 。
研究组基于“暗物质粒子探测器”9年的文导在轨数据 ,报导了碳 、读旧氧和铁能谱在约20吉伏至约100太伏(铁为60太伏)能量局限内的事科直接测量下场 。并初度在这些能谱中直接探测到较着的学网光谱硬化气候。

▲ Abstract:
In most particle acceleration or propagation theories, the characteristic features of the cosmic ray spectra due to acceleration limits or propagation phase changes are charge-dependent. Alternatively, the interaction scenario would expect mass-dependent spectral features in general. The observational verification of which relation takes effect in nature is still lacking because of the difficulty in measuring the spectra of individual particles up to very high energies. Here we report direct measurements of the carbon, oxygen and iron spectra from about 20?gigavolts to around 100?teravolts (60?teravolts for iron) with 9?years of on-orbit data collected by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer. Distinct spectral softenings have been directly detected in these spectra for the first time, to our knowledge. Combined with the updated proton and helium spectra, the spectral softening appears universally at a rigidity of about 15?teravolts. A nuclei-mass-dependent softening is rejected at a confidence level of >99.999%. Possible interpretations of these results, including a nearby cosmic ray source and other models such as the propagation effect, are discussed.

▲ Abstract :
A defining characteristic of superconductors is their tendency to expel magnetic fields, yet above a critical threshold, magnetic flux penetrates in discrete quanta carried by Abrikosov vortices. The superconducting gap is completely suppressed at the vortex core, rendering them dissipative, semi-classical entities that impact applications from high-current-density wires to quantum devices. Material disorder can drive a crossover to vortices that preserve an energy gap at the core, owing to intrinsic5 or emergent granularity on the scale of the coherence length. Although quantum vortex behaviour could emerge in this effective tunnel-junction regime, and signatures have been observed in diverse systems, coherent manipulation of vortex states has remained elusive. Here we present evidence that vortices trapped in granular superconducting films can behave as two-level systems, exhibiting microsecond-range quantum coherence and energy relaxation times that reach fractions of a millisecond. Using the tools of circuit quantum electrodynamics, we perform coherent manipulation and quantum non-demolition readout of vortex states in granular aluminium microwave resonators, heralding future directions for quantum information processing, materials characterization and sensing.
