Quantifying the thermal effect and methyl radical production in nanosecond repetitively pulsed glow discharges applied to a methane-air flame
In this work, we investigated non-equilibrium plasma produced by nanosecond repetitively pulsed glow discharges applied across a lean premixed methane-air flame. The flame is stationary, axisymmetric, and laminar. The discharges are applied on the symmetry axis crossing the reactant gases, flame front, and product gases, allowing phase-locked averaged measurements and comparisons with axisymmetric numerical simulations. The thermal effect and methyl radical production are quantified in the discharge in the reactant gas region. One-dimensional, two-beam, hybrid, femtosecond-picosecond, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering is used to acquire spatial and temporal profiles of temperature and oxygen-to-nitrogen concentration ratio. Photo-fragmentation laser-induced fluorescence is used to acquire quantitative two-dimensional profiles of methyl radicals in the discharge providing the first quantitative imaging of methyl produced ahead of a flame by plasma-induced methane dissociation. The spatial profiles of temperature and oxygen-to-nitrogen concentration ratio are in steady state, indicating that individual discharges have an insignificant heating effect. Upper and lower bounds of the produced mole fraction of methyl radicals in the plasma are obtained due to uncertainties in the collisional quenching rates of excited state methylidyne radicals in the plasma. The discharges produce a maximum of 600–1100 ppm of methyl radicals upstream of the flame front within 25 ns. This amount is similar to the predicted methyl mole fraction for the flame without plasma and thus represents a significant chemical perturbation to the reactants upstream of the flame front. The produced methyl follows an exponential decay in the first microsecond after the discharge with a decay constant of 8 µs close to the flame, and 0.8 µs further from the flame. The decay then deviates from the exponential curve and the methyl persists for tens of microseconds. The results suggest that for the tested configuration, the thermal effect of individual discharges through fast gas heating is negligible, while active chemical species are produced in large quantities in the reactant gases, upstream of the flame front.

27 TeV pp collisions, Exotics type, PYTHIA8 generator: tev27pp_pythia8_darkpion_scan
The dark pions (emerging jets) model with the settings as those similar to the CMS paper in JHEP 02 (2019) 179 (https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.10069). The files use the A14 ATLAS tune with NNPDF23_lo_as_0130_qed. The luminosity was estimated from the first file and is not accurate for the entire dataset. All parameter settings and cross sections are included in the logfiles inside separate ProMC files. The files are designed for a detector scans. The emerging jet model is described in: Y. Bai and P. Schwaller, “Scale of dark QCD”,Phys. Rev. D89(2014) 063522,doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.89.063522,arXiv:1306.4676; P. Schwaller, D.Stolarski, and A. Weiler, “Emerging jets”,JHEP05(2015) 59,doi:10.1007/JHEP05(2015)059,arXiv:1502.05409. Evens are created using a fixed mediator mass of 10 TeV. The dark pion mass, m(DP), changes in the range 5 GeV - 2500 GeV. Together with the pion mass, Rho mass is m(DP)*4. pTminFSR changes as m(DP)*2+20 GeV. The decay length (ctau) changes in the range 1 -1500 mm. One file per a combination m(DP) - ctau is produced. How to use: Each file has the substring "_mXX_ctYY" where XX and YY indicate the dark pion mass and the decay length (in mm).
