Abstract

Abstract The KM3NeT/ARCA neutrino detector is currently under construction at 3500 m depth offshore Capo Passero, Sicily, in the Mediterranean Sea. The main science objectives are the detection of high-energy cosmic neutrinos and the discovery of their sources. Simulations were conducted for the full KM3NeT/ARCA detector, instrumenting a volume of 1 km $$^3$$ 3 , to estimate the sensitivity and discovery potential to point-like neutrino sources. This paper covers the reconstruction of track- and shower-like signatures, as well as the criteria employed for neutrino event selection. With an angular resolution below 0.1 $$^\circ $$ ∘ for tracks and under 2 $$^\circ $$ ∘ for showers, the sensitivity to point-like neutrino sources surpasses existing observed limits across the entire sky.

Abstract

Abstract The measurement of the flux of muons produced in cosmic ray air showers is essential for the study of primary cosmic rays. Such measurements are important in extensive air shower detectors to assess the energy spectrum and the chemical composition of the cosmic ray flux, complementary to the information provided by fluorescence detectors. Detailed simulations of the cosmic ray air showers are carried out, using codes such as CORSIKA, to estimate the muon flux at sea level. These simulations are based on the choice of hadronic interaction models, for which improvements have been implemented in the post-LHC era. In this work, a deficit in simulations that use state-of-the-art QCD models with respect to the measurement deep underwater with the KM3NeT neutrino detectors is reported. The KM3NeT/ARCA and KM3NeT/ORCA neutrino telescopes are sensitive to TeV muons originating mostly from primary cosmic rays with energies around 10 TeV. The predictions of state-of-the-art QCD models show that the deficit with respect to the data is constant in zenith angle; no dependency on the water overburden is observed. The observed deficit at a depth of several kilometres is compatible with the deficit seen in the comparison of the simulations and measurements at sea level.

Abstract

Abstract This article reports the first observation of the Moon and the Sun shadows in the sky distribution of cosmic-ray induced muons measured by the KM3NeT/ORCA detector. The analysed data-taking period spans from February 2020 to November 2021, when the detector had 6 Detection Units deployed at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, each composed of 18 Digital Optical Modules. The shadows induced by the Moon and the Sun were detected at their nominal position with a statistical significance of 4.2 $$\sigma $$ σ and 6.2 $$\sigma $$ σ , and an angular resolution of $$\sigma _{res}=0.49^\circ $$ σ res = 0 . 49 ∘ and $$\sigma _{res}=0.66^\circ $$ σ res = 0 . 66 ∘ , respectively, consistent with the prediction of $$0.53^\circ $$ 0 . 53 ∘ from simulations. This early result confirms the effectiveness of the detector calibration, in time, position and orientation and the accuracy of the event direction reconstruction. This also demonstrates the performance and the competitiveness of the detector in terms of pointing accuracy and angular resolution.

Abstract

Abstract In the era of precision measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters, upcoming neutrino experiments will also be sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. KM3NeT/ORCA is a neutrino detector optimised for measuring atmospheric neutrinos from a few GeV to around 100 GeV. In this paper, the sensitivity of the KM3NeT/ORCA detector to neutrino decay has been explored. A three-flavour neutrino oscillation scenario, where the third neutrino mass state ν 3 decays into an invisible state, e.g. a sterile neutrino, is considered. We find that KM3NeT/ORCA would be sensitive to invisible neutrino decays with 1/α 3 = τ 3 /m 3 < 180 ps/eV at 90% confidence level, assuming true normal ordering. Finally, the impact of neutrino decay on the precision of KM3NeT/ORCA measurements for θ 23, Δ m 31 2 $$ \Delta {m}_{31}^2 $$ and mass ordering have been studied. No significant effect of neutrino decay on the sensitivity to these measurements has been found.

Abstract

Abstract The KM3NeT research infrastructure is unconstruction in the Mediterranean Sea. KM3NeT will study atmospheric and astrophysical neutrinos with two multi-purpose neutrino detectors, ARCA and ORCA, primarily aimed at GeV–PeV neutrinos. Thanks to the multi-photomultiplier tube design of the digital optical modules, KM3NeT is capable of detecting the neutrino burst from a Galactic or near-Galactic core-collapse supernova. This potential is already exploitable with the first detection units deployed in the sea. This paper describes the real-time implementation of the supernova neutrino search, operating on the two KM3NeT detectors since the first months of 2019. A quasi-online astronomy analysis is introduced to study the time profile of the detected neutrinos for especially significant events. The mechanism of generation and distribution of alerts, as well as the integration into the SNEWS and SNEWS 2.0 global alert systems, are described. The approach for the follow-up of external alerts with a search for a neutrino excess in the archival data is defined. Finally, an overview of the current detector capabilities and a report after the first two years of operation are given.

Abstract

Abstract This article presents the potential of a combined analysis of the JUNO and KM3NeT/ORCA experiments to determine the neutrino mass ordering. This combination is particularly interesting as it significantly boosts the potential of either detector, beyond simply adding their neutrino mass ordering sensitivities, by removing a degeneracy in the determination of ∆ m 31 2 $$ {m}_{31}^2 $$ between the two experiments when assuming the wrong ordering. The study is based on the latest projected performances for JUNO, and on simulation tools using a full Monte Carlo approach to the KM3NeT/ORCA response with a careful assessment of its energy systematics. From this analysis, a 5σ determination of the neutrino mass ordering is expected after 6 years of joint data taking for any value of the oscillation parameters. This sensitivity would be achieved after only 2 years of joint data taking assuming the current global best-fit values for those parameters for normal ordering.

Abstract

Abstract The next generation of water Cherenkov neutrino telescopes in the Mediterranean Sea are under construction offshore France (KM3NeT/ORCA) and Sicily (KM3NeT/ARCA). The KM3NeT/ORCA detector features an energy detection threshold which allows to collect atmospheric neutrinos to study flavour oscillation. This paper reports the KM3NeT/ORCA sensitivity to this phenomenon. The event reconstruction, selection and classification are described. The sensitivity to determine the neutrino mass ordering was evaluated and found to be 4.4 $$\sigma $$ σ if the true ordering is normal and 2.3 $$\sigma $$ σ if inverted, after 3 years of data taking. The precision to measure $$\varDelta m^2_{32}$$ Δ m 32 2 and $$\theta _{23}$$ θ 23 were also estimated and found to be $$85 . 10^{-6}~{\mathrm{eV}^{2}}$$ 85 . 10 - 6 eV 2 and $$(^{+1.9}_{-3.1})^{\circ }$$ ( - 3.1 + 1.9 ) ∘ for normal neutrino mass ordering and, $$75 . 10^{-6}~{\mathrm{eV}^{2}}$$ 75 . 10 - 6 eV 2 and $$(^{+2.0}_{-7.0})^{\circ }$$ ( - 7.0 + 2.0 ) ∘ for inverted ordering. Finally, a unitarity test of the leptonic mixing matrix by measuring the rate of tau neutrinos is described. Three years of data taking were found to be sufficient to exclude event rate variations larger than 20% at $$3\sigma $$ 3 σ level.

Abstract

Abstract KM3NeT/ORCA is a next-generation neutrino telescope optimised for atmospheric neutrino oscillations studies. In this paper, the sensitivity of ORCA to the presence of a light sterile neutrino in a 3+1 model is presented. After three years of data taking, ORCA will be able to probe the active-sterile mixing angles θ 14, θ 24, θ 34 and the effective angle θ μe , over a broad range of mass squared difference ∆ m 41 2 $$ \Delta {m}_{41}^2 $$ ∼ [10 −5 , 10] eV2, allowing to test the eV-mass sterile neutrino hypothesis as the origin of short baseline anomalies, as well as probing the hypothesis of a very light sterile neutrino, not yet constrained by cosmology. ORCA will be able to explore a relevant fraction of the parameter space not yet reached by present measurements.

Abstract

Abstract The KM3NeT research infrastructure is under construction in the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of two water Cherenkov neutrino detectors, ARCA and ORCA, aimed at neutrino astrophysics and oscillation research, respectively. Instrumenting a large volume of sea water with $$\sim {6200}$$ ∼ 6200 optical modules comprising a total of $$\sim {200{,}000}$$ ∼ 200 , 000 photomultiplier tubes, KM3NeT will achieve sensitivity to $$\sim {10} \ \mathrm{MeV}$$ ∼ 10 MeV neutrinos from Galactic and near-Galactic core-collapse supernovae through the observation of coincident hits in photomultipliers above the background. In this paper, the sensitivity of KM3NeT to a supernova explosion is estimated from detailed analyses of background data from the first KM3NeT detection units and simulations of the neutrino signal. The KM3NeT observational horizon (for a $$5\,\sigma $$ 5 σ discovery) covers essentially the Milky-Way and for the most optimistic model, extends to the Small Magellanic Cloud ( $$\sim {60} \ \mathrm{kpc}$$ ∼ 60 kpc ). Detailed studies of the time profile of the neutrino signal allow assessment of the KM3NeT capability to determine the arrival time of the neutrino burst with a few milliseconds precision for sources up to 5–8 kpc away, and detecting the peculiar signature of the standing accretion shock instability if the core-collapse supernova explosion happens closer than 3–5 kpc, depending on the progenitor mass. KM3NeT’s capability to measure the neutrino flux spectral parameters is also presented.

Abstract

Abstract KM3NeT is a research infrastructure located in the Mediterranean Sea, that will consist of two deep-sea Cherenkov neutrino detectors. With one detector (ARCA), the KM3NeT Collaboration aims at identifying and studying TeV–PeV astrophysical neutrino sources. With the other detector (ORCA), the neutrino mass ordering will be determined by studying GeV-scale atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The first KM3NeT detection units were deployed at the Italian and French sites between 2015 and 2017. In this paper, a description of the detector is presented, together with a summary of the procedures used to calibrate the detector in-situ. Finally, the measurement of the atmospheric muon flux between 2232–3386 m seawater depth is obtained.

Abstract

Objective. It is highly debated whether associations between osteoporosis and atherosclerosis are independent of cardiovascular risk factors. We aimed to explore the associations between quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters at the heel with the carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT), the presence of carotid artery plaques, and the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Methods. The study population comprised 5680 men and women aged 20–93 years from two population-based cohort studies: Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) and SHIP-Trend. QUS measurements were performed at the heel. The extracranial carotid arteries were examined with B-mode ultrasonography. ABI was measured in a subgroup of 3853 participants. Analyses of variance and linear and logistic regression models were calculated and adjusted for major cardiovascular risk factors. Results. Men but not women had significantly increased odds for carotid artery plaques with decreasing QUS parameters independent of diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Beyond this, the QUS parameters were not significantly associated with IMT or ABI in fully adjusted models. Conclusions. Our data argue against an independent role of bone metabolism in atherosclerotic changes in women. Yet, in men, associations with advanced atherosclerosis, exist. Thus, men presenting with clinical signs of osteoporosis may be at increased risk for atherosclerotic disease.

Abstract

BackgroundBoth elevated and low resting heart rates are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), suggesting a U-shaped relationship. However, evidence for a U-shaped causal association between genetically-determined resting heart rate and incident AF is limited. We investigated potential directional changes of the causal association between genetically-determined resting heart rate and incident AF.Method and resultsSeven cohorts of the AFGen consortium contributed data to this meta-analysis. All participants were of European ancestry with known AF status, genotype information, and a heart rate measurement from a baseline electrocardiogram (ECG). Three strata of instrumental variable-free resting heart rate were used to assess possible non-linear associations between genetically-determined resting heart rate and the logarithm of the incident AF hazard rate: 75 beats per minute (bpm). Mendelian randomization analyses using a weighted resting heart rate polygenic risk score were performed for each stratum. We studied 38,981 individuals (mean age 59±10 years, 54% women) with a mean resting heart rate of 67±11 bpm. During a mean follow-up of 13±5 years, 4,779 (12%) individuals developed AF. A U-shaped association between the resting heart rate and the incident AF-hazard ratio was observed. Genetically-determined resting heart rate was inversely associated with incident AF for instrumental variable-free resting heart rates below 65 bpm (hazard ratio for genetically-determined resting heart rate, 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.94-0.99; p = 0.01). Genetically-determined resting heart rate was not associated with incident AF in the other two strata.ConclusionsFor resting heart rates below 65 bpm, our results support an inverse causal association between genetically-determined resting heart rate and incident AF.

Abstract

The optical data transport system of the KM3NeT neutrino telescope at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea will provide more than 6000 optical modules in the detector arrays with a point-to-point optical connection to the control stations onshore. The ARCA and ORCA detectors of KM3NeT are being installed at a depth of about 3500m and 2500 m, respectively and their distance to the control stations is about 100 kilometers and 40 kilometers. In particular, the two detectors are optimised for the detection of cosmic neutrinos with energies above about 1 TeV (ARCA) and for the detection of atmospheric neutrinos with energies in the range 1 GeV–1 TeV (ORCA). The expected maximum data rate is 200 Mbps per optical module. The implemented optical data transport system matches the layouts of the networks of electro-optical cables and junction boxes in the deep sea. For efficient use of the fibres in the system the technology of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing is applied. The performance of the optical system in terms of measured bit error rates, optical budget are presented. The next steps in the implementation of the system are also discussed., Agence Nationale de la Recherche (contract ANR-15-CE31-0020), Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commission Européenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), LabEx UnivEarthS (ANR-10-LABX-0023 and ANR-18-IDEX-0001), Paris Île-de-France Region, France; Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Germany; The General Secretariat of Research and Innovation (GSRI), Greece Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca (MIUR), PRIN 2017 program (Grant NAT-NET 2017W4HA7S) Italy, Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation, Morocco, and the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, Kuwait, Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappel¼k Onderzoek (NWO), The National Science Centre, Poland (2021/41/N/ST2/01177), National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación, Investigación y Universidades (MCIU), Programa Estatal de Generación de Conocimiento (refs.

Abstract

The KM3NeT research infrastructure is under construction in the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of two water Cherenkov neutrino detectors, ARCA and ORCA, aimed at neutrino astrophysics and oscillation research, respectively. Instrumenting a large volume of sea water with $$\sim {6200}$$ ∼ 6200 optical modules comprising a total of $$\sim {200{,}000}$$ ∼ 200 , 000 photomultiplier tubes, KM3NeT will achieve sensitivity to $$\sim {10} \ \mathrm{MeV}$$ ∼ 10 MeV neutrinos from Galactic and near-Galactic core-collapse supernovae through the observation of coincident hits in photomultipliers above the background. In this paper, the sensitivity of KM3NeT to a supernova explosion is estimated from detailed analyses of background data from the first KM3NeT detection units and simulations of the neutrino signal. The KM3NeT observational horizon (for a $$5\,\sigma $$ 5 σ discovery) covers essentially the Milky-Way and for the most optimistic model, extends to the Small Magellanic Cloud ($$\sim {60} \ \mathrm{kpc}$$ ∼ 60 kpc ). Detailed studies of the time profile of the neutrino signal allow assessment of the KM3NeT capability to determine the arrival time of the neutrino burst with a few milliseconds precision for sources up to 5–8 kpc away, and detecting the peculiar signature of the standing accretion shock instability if the core-collapse supernova explosion happens closer than 3–5 kpc, depending on the progenitor mass. KM3NeT’s capability to measure the neutrino flux spectral parameters is also presented.

LCF/BQ/IN17/11620019), EU: MSC program (ref. 713673), Spain., The KM3NeT infrastructure consists of two deep-sea neutrino telescopes being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. The telescopes will detect extraterrestrial and atmospheric neutrinos by means of the incident photons induced by the passage of relativistic charged particles through the seawater as a consequence of a neutrino interaction. The telescopes are configured in a three-dimensional grid of digital optical modules, each hosting 31 photomultipliers. The photomultiplier signals produced by the incident Cherenkov photons are converted into digital information consisting of the integrated pulse duration and the time at which it surpasses a chosen threshold. The digitization is done by means of time to digital converters (TDCs) embedded in the field programmable gate array of the central logic board. Subsequently, a state machine formats the acquired data for its transmission to shore. We present the architecture and performance of the front-end firmware consisting of the TDCs and the state machine., French National Research Agency (ANR) ANR-15-CE31-0020, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund), France, Commission Europeenne (Marie Curie Program), France, Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), France, LabEx UnivEarthS, France ANR-10-LABX-0023 ANR-18-IDEX-0001, Paris Ile-de-France Region, France, Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (SRNSFG), Georgia FR-18-1268, German Research Foundation (DFG), Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT, Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) NAT-NET 2017W4HA7S, Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR) NAT-NET 2017W4HA7S, PRIN 2017 program Italy NAT-NET 2017W4HA7S, Ministry of Higher Education Scientific Research and Professional Training, ICTP, Morocco AF-13, Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) Netherlands Government, National Science Centre, Poland 2015/18/E/ST2/00758, National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania, Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion, Investigacion y Universidades (MCIU): Programa Estatal de Generacion de Conocimiento (MCIU/FEDER), Spain PGC2018-096663-B-C41 PGC2018-096663-A-C42 PGC2018-096663-B-C43 PGC2018-096663-B-C44, Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence and MultiDark Consolider (MCIU), Spain, Junta de Andalucia European Commission SOMM17/6104/UGR, Generalitat Valenciana: Grisolia program, Spain GRISOLIA/2018/119, Generalitat Valenciana: GenT program, Spain CIDEGENT/2018/034, La Caixa Foundation LCF/BQ/IN17/11620019, EU: MSC program, Spain 713673

Abstract

Program summary Program Title: gSeaGen CPC Library link to program files: http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/ymgxvy2br4.1 Licensing provisions: GPLv3 Programming language: C++ External routines/libraries: GENIE [1] and its external dependencies. Linkable to MUSIC [2] and PROPOSAL [3]. Nature of problem: Development of a code to generate detectable events in neutrino telescopes, using modern and maintained neutrino interaction simulation libraries which include the state-of-the-art physics models. The default application is the simulation of neutrino interactions within KM3NeT [4]. Solution method: Neutrino interactions are simulated using GENIE, a modern framework for Monte Carlo event generators. The GENIE framework, used by nearly all modern neutrino experiments, is considered as a reference code within the neutrino community. Additional comments including restrictions and unusual features: The code was tested with GENIE version 2.12.10 and it is linkable with release series 3. Presently valid up to 5 TeV. This limitation is not intrinsic to the code but due to the present GENIE valid energy range. References: [1] C. Andreopoulos at al., Nucl. Instrum. Meth. A614 (2010) 87. [2] P.

Phys. 43 (2016) 084001., The gSeaGen code is a GENIE-based application developed to efficiently generate high statistics samples of events, induced by neutrino interactions, detectable in a neutrino telescope. The gSeaGen code is able to generate events induced by all neutrino flavours, considering topological differences between tracktype and shower-like events. Neutrino interactions are simulated taking into account the density and the composition of the media surrounding the detector. The main features of gSeaGen are presented together with some examples of its application within the KM3NeT project., French National Research Agency (ANR) ANR-15-CE31-0020, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), European Union (EU), Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), France, IdEx program, France, UnivEarthS Labex program at Sorbonne Paris Cite ANR-10-LABX-0023 ANR-11-IDEX-000502, Paris Ile-de-France Region, France, Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (SRNSFG), Georgia FR-18-1268, German Research Foundation (DFG), Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT, Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR), PRIN 2017 program Italy NAT-NET 2017W4HA7S, Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Professional Training, Morocco, Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) Netherlands Government, National Science Centre, Poland 2015/18/E/ST2/00758, National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania, Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion, Investigacion y Universidades (MCIU): Programa Estatal de Generacion de Conocimiento, Spain (MCIU/FEDER) PGC2018-096663-B-C41 PGC2018-096663-A-C42 PGC2018-096663-BC43 PGC2018-096663-B-C44, Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence and MultiDark Consolider (MCIU), Junta de Andalucia, Spain SOMM17/6104/UGR, Generalitat Valenciana: Grisolia, Spain GRISOLIA/2018/119, GenT, Spain CIDEGENT/2018/034, La Caixa Foundation LCF/BQ/IN17/11620019, EU: MSC program, Spain 713673

Abstract

The KM3NeT Collaboration runs a multi-site neutrino observatory in the Mediterranean Sea. Water Cherenkov particle detectors, deep in the sea and far off the coasts of France and Italy, are already taking data while incremental construction progresses. Data Acquisition Control software is operating off-shore detectors as well as testing and qualification stations for their components. The software, named Control Unit, is highly modular. It can undergo upgrades and reconfiguration with the acquisition running. Interplay with the central database of the Collaboration is obtained in a way that allows for data taking even if Internet links fail. In order to simplify the management of computing resources in the long term, and to cope with possible hardware failures of one or more computers, the KM3NeT Control Unit software features a custom dynamic resource provisioning and failover technology, which is especially important for ensuring continuity in case of rare transient events in multi-messenger, French National Research Agency (ANR) ANR-15-CE31-0020, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund), European Union (EU), Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), France, IdEx program, Univearths Labex program at Sorbonne Paris Cite, France ANR-10-LABX-0023 ANR-11-IDEX-000502, Paris Ile-de-France Region, France, Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (SRNSFG), Georgia FR-18-1268, German Research Foundation (DFG), Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT, Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Universita e della Ricerca (MIUR), PRIN 2017 program Italy NAT-NET 2017W4HA7S, Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Professional Training, Morocco, Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) Netherlands Government, National Science Center, Poland National Science Centre, Poland 2015/18/E/ST2/00758, National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania, Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion, Investigacion y Universidades (MCIU), Spain, Programa Estatal de Generacion de Conocimiento (MCIU/FEDER) PGC2018-096663-B-C41 PGC2018-096663-A-C42 PGC2018-096663-B-C43 PGC2018-096663-BC44, Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence, MultiDark Consolider (MCIU), Spain, Junta de Andalucía, Generalitat Valenciana, Spain: Grisolia GRISOLIA/2018/119, Generalitat Valenciana CIDEGENT/2018/034, La Caixa Foundation LCF/BQ/IN17/11620019, EU: MSC program, Spain 713673

Abstract

KM3NeT is a research infrastructure being installed in the deep Mediterranean Sea. It will house a neutrino telescope comprising hundreds of networked moorings — detection units or strings — equipped with optical instrumentation to detect the Cherenkov radiation generated by charged particles from neutrino-induced collisions in its vicinity. In comparison to moorings typically used for oceanography, several key features of the KM3NeT string are different: the instrumentation is contained in transparent and thus unprotected glass spheres; two thin Dyneema® ropes are used as strength members; and a thin delicate backbone tube with fibre-optics and copper wires for data and power transmission, respectively, runs along the full length of the mooring. Also, compared to other neutrino telescopes such as ANTARES in the Mediterranean Sea and GVD in Lake Baikal, the KM3NeT strings are more slender to minimise the amount of material used for support of the optical sensors. Moreover, the rate of deploying a large number of strings in a period of a few years is unprecedented. For all these reasons, for the installation of the KM3NeT strings, a custom-made, fast deployment method was designed. Despite the length of several hundreds of metres, the slim design of the string allows it to be compacted into a small, re-usable spherical launching vehicle instead of deploying the mooring weight down from a surface vessel. After being lowered to the seafloor, the string unfurls to its full length with the buoyant launching vehicle rolling along the two ropes. The design of the vehicle, the loading with a string, and its underwater self-unrolling are detailed in this paper., French National Research Agency (ANR) ANR-15-CE31-0020, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), European Union (EU), Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), LabEx UnivEarthS ANR-10-LABX-0023 ANR-18-IDEX-0001, Paris Ile-de-France Region, France, Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (SRNSFG), Georgia FR-18-1268, German Research Foundation (DFG), Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT, Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Ministero dell'Universita e della Ricerca (MUR), PRIN Italy NAT-NET 2017W4HA7S, Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Professional Training, Morocco, Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) Netherlands Government, National Science Center, Poland National Science Centre, Poland 2015/18/E/ST2/00758, National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania, Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación, Investigación y Universidades (MCIU): Programa Estatal de Generación de Conocimiento (MCIU/FEDER) PGC2018-096663-B-C41 PGC2018-096663-B-A-C42 PGC2018-096663-B-BC43 PGC2018-096663-B-B-C44, Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence and MultiDark Consolider (MCIU), Junta de Andalucía SOMM17/6104/UGR, Generalitat Valenciana GRISOLIA/2018/119 CIDEGENT/2018/034, La Caixa Foundation LCF/BQ/IN17/11620019, EU: MSC program, Spain 713673

The KM3NeT/ORCA water-Cherenkov neutrino detector off the French coast will instrument several megatons of seawater with photosensors. Its main objective is the determination of the neutrino mass ordering. This work aims at demonstrating the general applicability of deep convolutional neural networks to neutrino telescopes, using simulated datasets for the KM3NeT/ORCA detector as an example. To this end, the networks are employed to achieve reconstruction and classification tasks that constitute an alternative to the analysis pipeline presented for KM3NeT/ORCA in the KM3NeT Letter of Intent. They are used to infer event reconstruction estimates for the energy, the direction, and the interaction point of incident neutrinos. The spatial distribution of Cherenkov light generated by charged particles induced in neutrino interactions is classified as shower- or track-like, and the main background processes associated with the detection of atmospheric neutrinos are recognized. Performance comparisons to machine-learning classification and maximum-likelihood reconstruction algorithms previously developed for KM3NeT/ORCA are provided. It is shown that this application of deep convolutional neural networks to simulated datasets for a large-volume neutrino telescope yields competitive reconstruction results and performance improvements with respect to classical approaches., French National Research Agency (ANR) ANR-15-CE31-0020, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund), European Union (EU), Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), LabEx UnivEarthS ANR-10-LABX-0023 ANR-18-IDEX-0001, Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia FR-18-1268, German Research Foundation (DFG), Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT, Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR) Research Projects of National Relevance (PRIN), Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Professional Training, Morocco, Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), National Science Centre, Poland 2015/18/E/ST2/00758, National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania, Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion, Investigacion y Universidades PGC2018-096663-B-C41 A-C42 B-C43 B-C44, Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence, Junta de Andalucia SOMM17/6104/UGR, Generalitat Valenciana: Grisolia GRISOLIA/2018/119 CIDEGENT/2018/034, La Caixa Foundation LCF/BQ/IN17/11620019, EU: MSC program 713673

Abstract

Struktur, Dynamik und Funktion von Membranproteinen sind eng verknupft mit den Eigenschaften der Membranumgebung, in die sie eingebettet sind. Im Allgemeinen mussen Membranproteine fur strukturelle und biophysikalische Untersuchungen aber aus der Membran extrahiert und in einem geeigneten Membranmimetikum rekonstituiert werden. Ob die funktionelle und strukturelle Integritat in solchen kunstlichen Umgebungen erhalten bleibt, ist oft nicht leicht zu evaluieren, aber fur die Interpretation von hochster Wichtigkeit. Das Styrol-Maleinsaure-Copolymer ermoglicht es, Membranproteine mit den umgebenden Lipiden direkt aus nativen Membranen zu extrahieren. Die resultierenden scheibenformigen Proteolipid-Partikel werden auch native Nanoscheiben genannt. Wir zeigen hier, am Beispiel des 2×34 kDa grosen bakteriellen Kationendiffusionsunterstutzers CzcD, dass hochaufgeloste Festkorper-NMR-Spektren von integralen Membranproteinen in nativen Nanoscheiben erhalten werden konnen.

Abstract

KM3NeT will be a network of deep-sea neutrino telescopes in the Mediterranean Sea. The KM3NeT/ARCA detector, to be installed at the Capo Passero site (Italy), is optimised for the detection of high-energy neutrinos of cosmic origin. Thanks to its geographical location on the Northern hemisphere, KM3NeT/ARCA can observe upgoing neutrinos from most of the Galactic Plane, including the Galactic Centre. Given its effective area and excellent pointing resolution, KM3NeT/ARCA will measure or significantly constrain the neutrino flux from potential astrophysical neutrino sources. At the same time, it will test flux predictions based on gamma-ray measurements and the assumption that the gamma-ray flux is of hadronic origin. Assuming this scenario, discovery potentials and sensitivities for a selected list of Galactic sources and to generic point sources with an $E^{-2}$ spectrum are presented. These spectra are assumed to be time independent. The results indicate that an observation with $3\sigma$ significance is possible in about six years of operation for the most intense sources, such as Supernovae Remnants RX\,J1713.7-3946 and Vela Jr. If no signal will be found during this time, the fraction of the gamma-ray flux coming from hadronic processes can be constrained to be below 50\% for these two objects., Comment: 32 pages, 9 figures, submitted to Astroparticle Physics

Abstract

Susac's syndrome (SuS) is a rare, probably autoimmune endotheliopathy of the central nervous system, retina and inner ear. It is characterized by a clinical triad of encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusions (BRAOs) and sensorineural hearing loss. To date, more than 300 cases of SuS have been reported in the literature. However, SuS remains an under- and misdiagnosed entity in the clinical setting. This report presents an exemplary case of a patient, who was initially misdiagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. At initial presentation, the patient did not demonstrate the complete clinical triad, and the interval between symptom onset and diagnosis was 4 months. Typical diagnostic features, which enabled the diagnosis of SuS were: a) MRI findings with T2-hyperintense snowball-like lesions of the corpus callosum and subcortical white matter and hyperintense lesions in diffusionweighted imaging with reduced apparent diffusion coefficient; b) BRAOs and vessel wall hyperfluorescence in fluorescein angiography and a significant thickness reduction of the inner retinal layers in optical coherence tomography; c) bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The patient was aggressively treated with cyclophosphamide, rituximab, glucocorticoids and acetylsalicylic acid with a good response to therapy. This report draws attention to the need to take SuS into consideration in the differential diagnosis at the interface of neurological, psychiatric, ophthalmological and otorhinolaryngological disorders. As SuS may result in severe and persistent neurological deficits, an interdisciplinary collaboration is fundamental for the prompt diagnosis and initiation of adequate immunosuppressive treatment.

Abstract

A number of studies have suggested that influenza vaccination can provide protection against COVID-19, but the underlying mechanisms that could explain this association are still unclear. In this study, the effect of the 2021/2022 seasonal influenza vaccination on the immune response to the booster dose of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was evaluated in a cohort of healthy individuals. A total of 113 participants were enrolled, 74 of whom had no prior COVID-19 diagnosis or significant comorbidities were considered for the analysis. Participants received the anti-influenza tetravalent vaccine and the booster dose of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine or the anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine alone. Blood was collected before and 4 weeks after each vaccination and 12 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and analyzed for anti-flu and anti-spike-specific antibody titers and for in vitro influenza and SARS-CoV-2 neutralization capacity. Results indicated an increased reactivity in subjects who received both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations compared to those who received only the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, with sustained anti-spike antibody titers up to 12 weeks post-vaccination. Immune response to the influenza vaccine was evaluated, and individuals were stratified as high or low responders. High responders showed increased antibody titers against the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine both after 4 and 12 weeks post-vaccination. Conversely, individuals classified as low responders were less responsive to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. These data indicate that both external stimuli, such as influenza vaccination, and the host’s intrinsic ability to respond to stimuli play a role in the response to the vaccine.

Abstract

Investigating reasons for differing life expectancy and prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors between old and new states of the Federal Republic of Germany an epidemiological study in Western Pomerania - the population-based project Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) - was planned.Prevalence and incidence of common risk factors, subclinical disorders and clinical diseases have been assessed since 1997 in five-year intervals. The third follow up (SHIP-3) was assessed between 2014 and 2016. In addition, an independent representative population sample was investigated between 2008 - 2012 (SHIP-TREND). Recently, the first follow up of this cohort has been started (SHIP-TREND-1). This paper reports the methodological approaches for detecting pneumological relevant morbidities in this population-based study. It aims to offer insights for potential cooperation with interested research groups.

Abstract

TANAMI is a multiwavelength program monitoring active galactic nuclei (AGN) south of -30deg declination including high-resolution Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) imaging, radio, optical/UV, X-ray and gamma-ray studies. We have previously published first-epoch 8.4GHz VLBI images of the parsec-scale structure of the initial sample. In this paper, we present images of 39 additional sources. The full sample comprises most of the radio- and gamma-ray brightest AGN in the southern quarter of the sky, overlapping with the region from which high-energy (>100TeV) neutrino events have been found. We characterize the parsec-scale radio properties of the jets and compare with the quasi-simultaneous Fermi/LAT gamma-ray data. Furthermore, we study the jet properties of sources which are in positional coincidence with high-energy neutrino events as compared to the full sample. We test the positional agreement of high-energy neutrino events with various AGN samples. Our observations yield the first images of many jets below -30deg declination at milliarcsecond resolution. We find that gamma-ray loud TANAMI sources tend to be more compact on parsec-scales and have higher core brightness temperatures than gamma-ray faint jets, indicating higher Doppler factors. No significant structural difference is found between sources in positional coincidence with high-energy neutrino events and other TANAMI jets. The 22 gamma-ray brightest AGN in the TANAMI sky show only a weak positional agreement with high-energy neutrinos demonstrating that the >100TeV IceCube signal is not simply dominated by a small number of the $��$-ray brightest blazars. Instead, a larger number of sources have to contribute to the signal with each individual source having only a small Poisson probability for producing an event in multi-year integrations of current neutrino detectors., A&A accepted (edited version), 21 pages, 13 figures

Abstract

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Das Susac-Syndrom ist eine Vaskulopathie mit Manifestationen am zentralen Nervensystem, an der Retina und am Innenohr und ist gekennzeichnet durch die klinische Trias aus Enzephalopathie und/oder fokalen neurologischen Symptomen, Hörminderung und retinalen Arterienastverschlüssen. Bisher wurden nur etwa 300 Fälle in der medizinischen Literatur beschrieben. Patienten/Methoden Drei Patienten mit gesichertem Susac-Syndrom wurden retrospektiv auf das Vorhandensein krankheitstypischer retinaler Veränderungen untersucht. Ergänzend wurde der Krankheitsverlauf analysiert mit der Zielsetzung, ein besseres Krankheitsverständnis zu erreichen. Ergebnisse In allen 3 beschriebenen Fällen besteht eine okklusive retinale Mikroangiopathie mit einhergehenden Arterienastverschlüssen. In der cMRT zeigen sich bei 2 von 3 Fällen krankheitstypische, umschriebene „snowball“-artige Läsionen des Corpus callosum, die gemeinsam mit dem Netzhautbefund die diagnostische Zuordnung ermöglichten. Die klassische Trias aus Innenohrschwerhörigkeit, retinalen Arterienastverschlüssen und ZNS-Symptomatik war allerdings in keinem der Fälle bei ärztlichem Erstkontakt vollständig ausgeprägt. Schlussfolgerung Die Diagnosesicherung setzt eine enge interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit zwischen Neurologen, Psychiatern, HNO- und Augenärzten voraus. Die typischen okulären Zeichen einer segmentalen Mikrovaskulopathie mit Okklusion kleiner Arterien sollten auch bei isoliertem Auftreten Anlass dazu geben, das Krankheitsbild in die Differenzialdiagnose einer okklusiven retinalen Vaskulopathie mit einzubeziehen.

Abstract

Zielsetzung: Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, die zu erwartenden Kosten von Herzinsuffizienzpatienten in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern mithilfe eines gesundheitsokonomischen Modells zu prognostizieren. Durch die Einbeziehung des Therapieverfahrens der Immunadsorption bei Patienten mit dilatativer Kardiomyopathie in das Modell soll gezeigt werden, welche Auswirkungen auf die Patientenstruktur und die damit im Zusammenhang stehenden Kosten zu erwarten sind. Methodik: Als Modell-Typ wurde ein Markov-Modell verwendet, welches insbesondere altersgruppenspezifische Unterschiede bzgl. der Pravalenz und Inzidenz der Herzinsuffizienz sowie die Bevolkerungsstruktur Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns berucksichtigt. Dabei wurden Szenarien mit und ohne Immunadsorption simuliert. Ergebnisse: Es wird zu erwarten sein, dass die Anzahl der Patienten mit Herzinsuffizienz im Simulationszeitraum bis 2030 kontinuierlich ansteigt. Daraus leiten sich auch steigende Kosten fur die Behandlung ab. Der Einsatz der Immunadsorption fuhrt daruber hinaus zu einem weiteren Kostenanstieg, welcher in der steigenden Pravalenz aufgrund sinkender Mortalitat zu begrunden ist. Schlussfolgerung: Angesichts der hohen finanziellen Last durch die Herzinsuffizienz sind effektive therapeutische Masnahmen unentbehrlich. Dies gilt insbesondere fur Mecklenburg-Vorpommern mit seinem hohen Anteil alter Menschen.

Abstract

Styrene-Maleic acid (SMA) copolymers have emerged as a powerful alternative to detergents for applications in membrane research [1]. Most notably, these amphipathic polymers can be used to directly extract and purify membrane proteins from intact cells of different organisms in the form of “native nanodiscs”. These particles stabilize the protein in a near native environment comprising conserved native lipids as well as other membrane components and they readily allow for structural and functional characterization of the protein [2,3].To evaluate the general applicability of SMA-mediated membrane protein solubilization, we employed a combined imaging and biochemistry approach using HeLa cells as a model. The results indicate that SMA solubilization of (human) cells is an all-or-none process that is not specific for any (sub)cellular membrane, as seen by the solubilization of all intracellular organelles that were tested. These findings suggest that SMA isolation is applicable to any membrane protein irrespective of which cellular membrane it resides in.Since lipid properties strongly influence the solubilization process [4], we then tested whether SMA exhibits selectivity for certain lipids within a given membrane. To this end, we studied the effect of the polymer on model membranes with different lipid compositions. The results revealed a promiscuity of SMA with respect to lipid headgroups in homogeneous lipid mixtures. However, in phase-separating systems of fluid phases with either gel-phase or liquid-ordered phases it showed a distinct preference for lipids in the fluid phase. Implications for the solubilization of proteins from such membranes will be discussed.[1] Dorr JM, et al., 2015, Eur Biophys J, submitted.[2] Swainsbury DJK, et al., 2014, Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 53(44):11803-11807.[3] Dorr JM, et al., 2014, PNAS 111(52):18607-18612.[4] Scheidelaar S, et al., 2015, Biophys J 108(2):279-290.

Abstract

On the basis of findings published in the literature, morphologic changes seen among the author's patients were classified as anthropologic and teratologic dislocations. The anthropologic dislocations were sub-classified into four groups, identified as dysplasia, subluxation, severe subluxation and luxation. Their anatomic peculiarities were described and illustrated. One observation which appears important, and which has already been reported by other authors, is that the limbus is not an infolded free joint border; also, that even in cases of severe luxation the femoral head often does not go beyond the acetabular labrum, which is displaced far upward. A number of special features appear to be of major importance for therapy. Mechanically, a severe subluxation behaves in the same manner as a subluxation. No reduction maneuver is needed to reposition the joint. On plain radiographs, subluxation are often mistaken for luxations. In dislocated hips the tendon of the iliopsoas muscle lies between the anterior portion of the acetabulum and the femoral head. When the extremity is extended, the psoas tendon is an obstacle to reduction. The real articular obstacle to reduction is not the limbus (primary limbus) but the primary joint cavity, which is too narrow. The limbus is only an obstacle on the way to the primary acetabulum.

Abstract

Physical exercise has been recognized as a standard therapy in the guidelines for secondary prevention of chronic heart failure. In clinical practice its benefits are widely underestimated. It is still too rarely applied as a therapeutic component, despite overwhelming scientific evidence, including meta-analyses illustrating the positive effect on exercise capacity, quality of life and hospitalization. It is crucial that patients undergo a thorough clinical investigation, including exercise testing and are in a clinically stable condition for at least 6 weeks under optimal guideline-conform medicinal therapy before exercise training is initiated. Moreover, it is important that only approved exercise regimens should be prescribed and exercise sessions should be appropriately monitored. Both moderate continuous endurance training and recently developed interval training have been shown to be safe and effective in chronic heart failure. Ideally, endurance training should be combined with moderate resistance training. Current evidence clearly demonstrates a dose-response relationship in the way that beneficial effects of exercise training are strongly related to factors such as exercise duration and intensity. Development of strategies that support long-term adherence to exercise training are a crucial challenge for both daily practice and future research.

Abstract

A long, prior history of diphtheria is common among middle-aged and elder European adults. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the risk of reduced ventricular function and impaired intraventricular conduction is increased in individuals with a history of diphtheria. A study population of 2,480 subjects (1,222 women) aged 45 years or older who were recruited for the Study of Health in Pomerania were available for the present analyses. Left ventricular function was assessed by echocardiography. Intraventricular conduction blocks were diagnosed using electrocardiograms. Multivariable analyses revealed that individuals with a history of diphtheria had neither an increased odds for reduced fractional shortening (OR 1.21, 95% CI 0.69-2.11; p=0.51) nor an increased odds for intraventricular conduction blocks (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.55-1.46; p=0.67). However, regression models revealed two-way interactions between the exposure variable and hypertension with respect to both endpoints. A history of diphtheria increased the odds for both endpoints in normotensive but not in hypertensive individuals. The findings show that a history of diphtheria several decades previously in a patient is a risk marker for reduced cardiac function and impaired intraventricular conduction in individuals at low risk for these disorders.

Abstract

The styrene-maleic acid (SMA) copolymer is rapidly gaining attention as tool in membrane research due to its ability to directly solubilize lipid membranes into nanodisc particles without the requirement of conventional detergents. Although many different variants of SMA are commercially available, so far mainly those with a styrene-to-maleic acid monomer ratio of 2:1 or 3:1 have been used for model membrane studies as well as for membrane protein extraction.Here, we present a systematic investigation of the effect of SMA composition on its solution properties as well as on its interaction with membranes. A particular focus was the effect of pH, which strongly affects the charge density of the polymer. Using model membranes of di-14:0 PC lipids, we found that membrane solubilization is promoted by a low charge density and by a relatively high fraction of maleic acid units in the polymer.In addition, we used calorimetry and fluorescence methods to investigate the influence of SMA composition on the properties of lipids in nanodisc particles formed of different saturated PCs. We found that all polymers affect the gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition of the lipids but that the degree of their influence depends on the styrene-to-maleic acid ratio.Altogether, the results show large differences in behavior between different SMA variants, with the one having a styrene-to-maleic acid ratio of 2:1 showing both the highest efficiency in membrane solubilization and the best preservation of lipid bilayer properties in nanodisc particles.

Abstract

In this review, heart failure is confined to etiologies not due to rhythm disturbances or valvular heart disease. Besides measurement of natriuretic peptides, echocardiography is established as an important diagnostic procedure. Echocardiography is especially helpful in discriminating between heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF-PEF) and reduced ejection fraction (HF-REF). Because of its ease to be performed, the 6 min walk test continues to be a standard diagnostic procedure. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing provides more detailed information regarding differential diagnostic and prognostic considerations.

Abstract

Susac syndrome is a vasculopathy affecting the central nervous system, retina and cochlea leading to the triad encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusions and hearing loss. To date, about 300 cases have been described in the literature.Three patients with confirmed Susac syndrome were evaluated for disease-specific retinal pathologies. In addition, the overall history of the disease is presented to put the ophthalmological pathology into context.All three cases showed a retinal occlusive microangiopathy with branch retinal artery occlusions. MRI imaging revealed snowball-like lesions of the corpus callosum in two of three cases. At the initial presentation not all criteria of the disease-specific triad encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusions, and hearing loss were fulfilled in the three patients.Interdisciplinary collaboration between neurologists, otorhinolaryngologists and ophthalmologists is mandatory to establish the diagnosis of the disease. The occurrence of the characteristic retinal pathology with small artery occlusions and a segmental vasculopathy should always lead to the differential diagnosis of Susac syndrome.Das Susac-Syndrom ist eine Vaskulopathie mit Manifestationen am zentralen Nervensystem, an der Retina und am Innenohr und ist gekennzeichnet durch die klinische Trias aus Enzephalopathie und/oder fokalen neurologischen Symptomen, Hörminderung und retinalen Arterienastverschlüssen.

Abstract

We investigate the quantum mechanical process of two-electron tunneling in strong external electric fields. Numerical solution of a two-electron s-wave model reveals the existence of collective tunneling ionization in a mode where both electrons stay at equal distance from the nucleus. Otherwise the lagging electron is immediately recaptured. The corresponding double ionization rate fails to explain nonsequential multiple ionization in strong-field laser experiments. However, an empirically modified version of the analytical one-electron tunneling rate of Ammosov, Delone, and Krainov agrees with the experiments to a surprising accuracy. The reason for this agreement is presently unknown.

Abstract

Specific heat measurements on DyCu2 single crystals in magnetic fields of 0, 1.7 and 4.0 T parallel to the a-direction were performed between 0.3 and 50 K. Various second order transitions due to the strong magnetic anisotropy of the compound were found in accordance with the phase diagram that was derived from magnetization and thermal expansion measurements. The nearly vertical phase transition lines at 5 K in the ferrimagnetic F1 phase and at 6 K in the ferromagnetic F2 phase can be confirmed by the present data. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the Ising-axis conversion field of DyCu2 was complemented by specific heat and magnetocaloric investigations in fields parallel to the c-direction.

Abstract

2,3-dimethylanthracene (2,3-DMA, ) crystallizes in a pseudo-centrosymmetric triclinic lattice with two molecules per unit cell showing dipolar structural disorder of the acentric molecules. Using powder samples the amplitude weighted phonon density of states was measured by inelastic incoherent neutron scattering for different degrees of deuteration. The differences in the resulting spectra can be explained by changes of the dynamics of the molecular bodies or the methyl side groups. By the method of inelastic coherent neutron scattering phonon dispersion curves were determined. The phonon lines are broad even at low temperatures; this fact is supposed to be related to dipolar disorder. Both the incoherent and coherent scattering results can be described satisfactorily by lattice dynamical calculations using a `6-exp' potential for the atom-atom interactions of different molecules, including internal degrees of freedom.

Abstract

We report the polarization measurement of a very high order (59th and 61st order, $\ensuremath{\sim}$17 nm) harmonic. A Mo-Si multilayer mirror is used as a polarizer with reflectivity of 60% and polarization analyzing power close to unity around a wavelength of 17 nm. We observe that for these high harmonics in Ne there is no rotation of the polarization ellipse with respect to the fundamental laser polarization, even though the harmonics are in the plateau. For linear and slightly elliptical laser polarization the harmonics still remain linearly polarized. These findings are supported by a full theoretical simulation, which includes spatiotemporal integration and phase matching of the emitted harmonic radiation.
