Pseudorapidity distributions of charged hadrons produced in p-p and Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energies were measured by the CMS and ALICE Collaborations, respectively. An improved Tsallis distribution in the two-cylinder model is used to describe the pseudorapidity spectra. We consider the rapidity shift at the longitudinal direction in the geometrical picture of the collisions. The calculated results are in agreement with the experimental data. The gap between the projectile cylinder and the target cylinder increases with the centralities. The rapidity shifts in the cylinders also increase with the centralities.

A flexoelectric cantilever beam actuated by the converse flexoelectric effect is evaluated and its analytical and experimental data are compared in this study. A line-electrode on the top beam surface and a bottom surface electrode are used to generate an electric field gradient in the beam, so that internal stresses can be induced and applied to distributed actuations. The dynamic control effectiveness of the beam is investigated with a mathematical model and is validated by laboratory experiments. Analyses show that the actuation stress induced by the converse flexoelectric effect is in the longitudinal direction and results in a bending control moment to the flexoelectric beam since the stress in the thickness is inhomogeneous. It is found that thinner line-electrode radius and thinner flexoelectric beam lead to larger control effects on the beam. The position of the line-electrode on the top surface of the beam also influences the control effect. When the line-electrode is close to the fixed end, it induces a larger tip displacement than that is close to the free end. Analytical results agree well with laboratory experimental data. This study of flexoelectric actuation and control provides a fundamental understanding of flexoelectric actuation mechanisms.

We compare two types of Tsallis distribution, that is, with and without thermodynamical description, using the experimental data from the STAR, PHENIX, ALICE, and CMS Collaborations on the rapidity and energy dependence of the transverse momentum spectra inp+pcollisions. Both of them can fit the particle spectra well. We show that the Tsallis distribution with thermodynamical description gives lower temperatures than the ones without it. The extra factormT(transverse mass) in the Tsallis distribution with thermodynamical description plays an important role in the discrepancies between the two types of Tsallis distribution. But for the heavy particles, the choice to usemTorET(transverse energy) in the Tsallis distribution becomes more crucial.

The nonextensive behavior of entropy is exploited to explain the regularity in multiplicity distributions in [Formula: see text] collisions at high energies. The experimental data are analyzed by using Tsallis [Formula: see text]-statistics. We propose a new approach of applying Tsallis [Formula: see text]-statistics, wherein the multiplicity distribution is divided into two components; two-jet and multijet components. A convoluted Tsallis distribution is fitted to the data. It is shown that this method gives the best fits which are several orders better than the conventional fit of Tsallis distribution.

The pseudorapidity (rapidity) distributions of particles produced in high-energy collisions are analyzed using the revised thermalized cylinder model. The calculated results are compared and found to be in agreement with the experimental data of pp collision and e+e– annihilation. PACS Nos.: 13.85-t, 13.75-n, 13.85Hd, 13.65+i

A finite-difference procedure is employed to predict the turbulent flow in ducts of rectangular cross-section, rotating about an axis normal to the longitudinal direction. The flows were treated as “parabolic” and the turbulence model used involved the solution of two differential equations, one for the kinetic energy of the turbulence and the other for its dissipation rate. Agreement with experimental data is good for a constant-area duct at low rotation, but less satisfactory for a divergent duct at larger rotation. It is argued that a “partially-parabolic” procedure will be needed to predict the latter flow correctly.
