E x B drift

The formation will be done by pushing antiprotons through a rotating positron plasma. The rotation is an unavoidable result of the E x B drift of the positrons in the magnetic field. The rotation frequency depends on the spatial density of the plasma [34]. 

E X B drift The drift motion accompanying the gyration motion of a charged particle moving in a combination of electric and magnetic fields, E and B. 

If there is both an electric, E, and magnetic, B, field present, the electrons have a drift velocity perpendicular to the E X B plane in addition to spiraling around the magnetic field lines. If there is a gas present, collisions cause the electrons to be scattered from their spiral path. After scattering, the electrons begin a new spiral path. They will tend to be trapped where the E and B fields are normal to each other and this will be the region of maximum ionization. The positive ions will be accelerated to the cathode surface by the electric field.

Case b) Drift Dominated Motion. The Fokker-Planck equation in a domain of x, where K(x) 4= 0, and for < 1 will now be considered. The solution (2.75) indicates that in this drift dominated domain the variance o(t) remains of the order of magnitude O (e) if the motion is started with an initial variance Og of the... 

By virtue of the conditions xi+X2 = 1>Xi+X2 = 1, only one of two equations (Eq. 98) (e.g. the first one) is independent. Analytical integration of this equation results in explicit expression connecting monomer composition jc with conversion p. This expression in conjunction with formula (Eq. 99) describes the dependence of the instantaneous copolymer composition X on conversion. The analysis of the results achieved revealed [74] that the mode of the drift with conversion of compositions x and X differs from that occurring in the processes of homophase copolymerization. It was found that at any values of parameters p, p2 and initial monomer composition x° both vectors, x and X, will tend with the growth of p to common limit x = X. In traditional copolymerization, systems also exist in which the instantaneous composition of a copolymer coincides with that of the monomer mixture. Such a composition, x =X, is known as the azeotrop . Its values, controlled by parameters of the model, are defined for homophase (a) [1,86] and interphase (b) copolymerization as follows...

Once ions enter the analyzer region B in Figs. 1 and 4), they are affected by two independent electric fields (i.e., an rf electric field and a dc electric field). As described in Eq. (12), the radius of the trajectory of an ion which is not in resonance in the analyzer is bounded, and the ion will continue to drift in the x direction. Since the analyzer drift potential can be varied independently of the source drift potential, the drift velocity may be faster or slower in that region. The essential feature is simply that a flow of ions down the long axis of the cell can be maintained without focusing or appreciably accelerating the ions. 

The reliability of the frame can finally be calculated. Fig. 5 shows the CDF of 0max of record 4/2 for two different values of b = 1, 100. If the reliability of the frame is defined as the maximum interstory drift not exceeding a threshold, e.g., 6.5 x 10 , the reliability can be obtained from Fig. 5 for both cases of b as 0.915 and 0.555, respectively. It is worth noting that the reliability is substantially smaller in the second case. Fig. 6 shows the PDF of 0max of record 4/2 for the same two values of b. Simultaneously shown are the normal and lognormal distributions with a mean and standard deviation identical to those of the computed PDF and the extreme value distribution with the same mean as that of the computed PDF. It can be observed that these widely adopted probability distributions are quite different from the real PDF of the response, which clearly has a bimodal form especially in the case of small correlation length.
