description: In this work we directly fit the QCD dimensional transmutation parameter, ${Λ_{\overline {MS} }}$, to experimental data of Drell-Yan (DY) observables. For this purpose we first obtain the evolution of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs) up to the NNLO approximation based on Collins-Sopper-Sterman formalism. As is expecting the TMDPDFs are appearing at larger values of transvers momentum by increasing the energy scales and also the order of approximation. Then we calculate the cross section related to the TMDPDFs in the DY process. As a consequence of fitting to the E288 experimental data at center of mass energy $\sqrt{s}=23.8$ $GeV$, we obtain ${Λ_{\overline {MS} }} = 249 \pm 7 MeV$ corresponding to the renormalized coupling constant ${α_s}(M_z^2) = 0.119 \pm 0.001$ which is within the acceptable range for this quantity. The results for DY cross section at different energy scales are in good agreement within the available data.

description: A mathematical model is presented for the Joule heating that occurs in a ceramic powder compact during the process of flash sintering. The ceramic is assumed to have an electrical conductivity that increases with temperature, and this leads to the possibility of runaway heating that could facilitate and explain the rapid sintering seen in experiments. We consider reduced models that are sufficiently simple to enable concrete conclusions to be drawn about the mathematical nature of their solutions. In particular we discuss how different local and non-local reaction terms, which arise from specified experimental conditions of fixed voltage and current, lead to thermal runaway or to stable conditions. We identify incipient thermal runaway as a necessary condition for the flash event, and hence identify the conditions under which this is likely to occur.

description: 29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 171-176
description: The aim of this work was to analyze new module concepts and their influence on the electrical power output.
Alternative methods for the soldering of interconnections between solar cell busbars and solar cell tabs, the
replacement of standard flat ribbons by means of innovative grooved connection wires and the use of new
developed encapsulations were investigated and characterized. One emerging possibility to overcome the
shortcomings of soldering is the use of electrically conductive adhesives. Conductive adhesives have many
advantages: 1, toxic heavy metals such as lead are not required. 2, no tin solder is necessary. 3, fewer cracks are
arising during the interconnection process and 4, good electrical conductivity and sufficient mechanical bonding
between rough surfaces can be achieved. By replacing of a
standard flat ribbon by a grooved solar cell interconnect wire or
Light Capturing Ribbon (LCR) an increase of the efficiency of a
solar module is expected by reflecting more light back onto the
surface of the solar cell (see Fig.1: LCR). New thermoplastic
materials allow a faster and cheaper production process, a reduced
moisture permeability and a higher UV-transmission.

description: In this study we quantify encapsulation losses for 6 inch IBC solar cells considering different colored
module backsheet foils and different cell contacting methods. The solar cells investigated were developed and
fabricated at ISC Konstanz. They are bifacial n-type IBC solar cells, so called “Zebra” cells [1, 2, 3]. Cell processing
relies on standard industrial processing equipment like tube furnace diffusion, laser ablation of a masking layer and
screen printed metallization. The cells investigated are contacted either by conductive adhesive (CA) gluing of bare
Cu ribbon or by soldering of structured stress relieve ribbon. Subsequently, mini-modules are assembled using a
standard module stack employing white, black or transparent backsheet on the rear side. Our analysis shows that the
main loss mechanism from cell to encapsulated cell is the optical loss. Comparing the short circuit current of bare
cells with the one of encapsulated cells average relative losses between 4.8% (white backsheet) and 6.5% (black
backsheet) are measured. Electrical losses depend on the contacting scheme and the amount of metal provided for
current transport but also on the measurement method. A minimum fill factor loss of 1.1% relative is achieved for a
CA connected IBC cell while attaching a voltage probe in about 1 mm distance to the cell during IV measurement.

description: We present new deep co-adds of data taken within Stripe 82 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), especially stacked to reach the faintest surface brightness limits of this data set. Stripe 82 covers 275 square degrees within -50 < RA < +60 and -1.25 < Dec. < +1.25. We discuss the steps of our reduction which puts special emphasis on preserving the characteristics of the background (sky + diffuse light) in the input images using a non-aggressive sky subtraction strategy. Our reduction reaches a limit of ~28.5 mag/arcsec^2 (3 sigma, 10x10 arcsec^2) in the r band. The effective surface brightness limit (50% completeness for exponential light distribution) lies at ~ 25.5 mag/arcsec^2. For point sources, we reach 50% completeness limits (3 sigma level) of (24.2,25.2,24.7,24.3,23.0) mag in (u,g,r,i,z). This is between 1.7 and 2.0 mag deeper than the single epoch SDSS releases. The co-adds show point spread functions with median FWHM values ranging between 1 arcsec in i and z to 1.3 arcsec in the u band. The imaging data are made publicly available at http://www.iac.es/proyecto/stripe82. The release includes deep co-adds and representations of the PSF for each field. Additionally, we provide object catalogues with stars and galaxies confidently separated until g~23 mag. The IAC Stripe 82 coadds offer a rather unique possibility to study the low surface brightness universe, exemplified by the discovery of stellar streams around NGC0426 and NGC0936. We also discuss further science cases like stellar haloes and disc truncations, low surface brightness galaxies, the intra-cluster light in galaxy clusters and the diffuse emission of Galactic dust known as Galactic Cirrus.

description: One way to increase module efficiency is to use deep structured ribbons as cell connectors in
photovoltaic modules. The conventional soldered, flat ribbon connector is replaced with a glued, deep structured
ribbon. When light strikes a cell it is reflected at the ribbons and, in a conventional cell, lost. The structured ribbons
and the glass/air interface redirect some of this light back to the cell. In this paper we compare the yield of
conventional photovoltaic modules with soldered flat and glued flat connector ribbons to glued deep structured
ribbons, both under laboratory conditions and in field. We found that the new design increases short circuit current by
2 % and yield by 1.5 %. To analyse this effect in detail, simulations are conducted that confirm the experimental
findings.

description: By the universal integrability objects we mean certain monodromy-type and transfer-type operators, where the representation in the auxiliary space is properly fixed, while the representation in the quantum space is not. This notion is actually determined by the structure of the universal R-matrix. We call functional relations between such universal integrability objects, and so, being independent of the representation in the quantum space, the universal functional relations. We present a short review of the universal functional relations for the quantum integrable systems associated with the quantum groups of loop Lie algebras.

description: The key for increasing the production yield in state of the art crystalline module production lines is the
optimization of the stringing and soldering process. Besides the cell to module (CTM) losses the choice of the
appropriate solder ribbon defines the mechanical damage during and after the soldering process in the crystalline
silicone solar cell. Soft ribbons with very low yield strength offer a possibility to limit the mechanical stress to a low
level during the soldering process leading to less cracks, metallization damages and hot spot risk on cell level.
Nevertheless the yield strength has to be addressed in alignment with ribbon thickness and width to achieve lowest
possible damages. The aim of this work is to investigate the impact of the ribbons mechanical specification as yield
strength and dimension on crystal damage, peel strength and metallization failure after soldering. In order to
investigate the impact of additional stress and its effect on electrical performance thermo-cycling (TC) was
performed. It was found that with larger yield strength the crystal damage strongly increases coming along with a
strong reduction in peel strength and Pmpp. Furthermore the ribbon thickness and width could be identified as key
parameters for reducing Pmpp losses during TC testing. Finite element simulations were performed to analyse the
internal stresses evolution and gain further insight in mechanism leading to cell damage. These results are aligned
with the experimental findings. With the results on hand the module maker can optimize the production process in
terms of CTM loss and stress reduction.

description: It is shown that classical spaces with geometries emerge on boundaries of randomly connected tensor networks with appropriately chosen tensors in the thermodynamic limit. With variation of the tensors, the dimensions of the spaces can be freely chosen, and the geometries, which are curved in general, can be varied. We give the explicit solvable examples of emergent flat tori in arbitrary dimensions, and the correspondence from the tensors to the geometries for general curved cases. The perturbative dynamics in the emergent space is shown to be described by an effective action which is invariant under the spatial diffeomorphism due to the underlying orthogonal group symmetry of the randomly connected tensor network. It is also shown that there are various phase transitions among spaces, including extended and point-like ones, under continuous change of the tensors.

description: The loss due to lateral current flow in top diffused layer is one of the most important mechanisms of
loss associated with top contacts and can be a limiting factor causing the reduction of cell efficiency especially for cells
made to operate at high sun concentrations, because of higher level of current density and voltage drop. To optimize the
design of grid contact, it is necessary to know the exact distributions of lateral and vertical current densities and the
mechanism of power generation. In this work, the determinant parameters such as current densities, concentration of
carriers and generation and recombination rate are studied by means of simulation and theoretical analysis. This analysis
is general for the common structure defined in this work and would get more importance for the cells work under
concentrated sunlight. Additionally, the effects of placing an N+-layer under the fingers on mentioned parameters are
taken into consideration.

description: The evolution of the spectral energy distribution during flares constrains models of particle acceleration in blazar jets. The archetypical blazar BL Lac provided a unique opportunity to study spectral variations during an extended strong flaring episode from 2020-2021. During its brightest $γ$-ray state, the observed flux (0.1-300 GeV) reached up to $2.15\,\times\,10^{-5}\,\rm{ph\,cm^{-2}\,s^{-1}}$, with sub-hour scale variability. The synchrotron hump extended into the X-ray regime showing a minute-scale flare with an associated peak shift of inverse-Compton hump in gamma-rays. In shock acceleration models, a high Doppler factor value $>$100 is required to explain the observed rapid variability, change of state, and $γ$-ray peak shift. Assuming particle acceleration in mini-jets produced by magnetic reconnection during flares, on the other hand, alleviates the constraint on required bulk Doppler factor. In such jet-in-jet models, observed spectral shift to higher energies (towards TeV regime) and simultaneous rapid variability arises from the accidental alignment of a magnetic plasmoid with the direction of the line of sight. We infer a magnetic field of $\sim0.6\,\rm{G}$ in a reconnection region located at the edge of BLR ($\sim0.02\,\rm{pc}$). The scenario is further supported by log-normal flux distribution arising from merging of plasmoids in reconnection region.

description: The key advantage of a thin absorbing layer in solar cells is related to reduced electrical transport losses. Yet, decreasing the
absorber thickness significantly reduces absorption of sunlight. In this regard, engineering the geometry of substrate allows one to trap the light within a
physically thin layer and maximize the absorption.
In this work, we experimentally investigate the scattering properties of one-dimensional rough substrates that provide strong and broad-band absorption
enhancement. We demonstrate that these substrates have superior scattering properties with respect to the commonly used Asahi-U textures. In particular,
we focus on Angular Resolved Scattering (ARS) of transmitted light and haze (i.e., the ratio of the intensity of scattered light to the total intensity of light
transmitted through the texture). Finally, we compare the experimental results with the numerical simulations, obtaining a good agreement.

description: A diphoton excess with an invariant mass of about 750 GeV has been recently reported by both ATLAS and CMS experiments at LHC. While the simplest interpretation requires the resonant production of a 750 GeV (pseudo)scalar, here we consider an alternative setup, with an additional heavy parent particle which decays into a pair of 750 GeV resonances. This configuration improves the agreement between the 8 TeV and 13 TeV data. Moreover, we include a dark matter candidate in the form of a Majorana fermion which interacts through the 750 GeV portal. The invisible decays of the light resonance help to suppress additional decay channels into Standard Model particles in association with the diphoton signal. We realise our hierarchical framework in the context of an effective theory, and we analyse the diphoton signal as well as the consistency with other LHC searches. We finally address the interplay of the LHC results with the dark matter phenomenology, namely the compatibility with the relic density abundance and the indirect detection bounds.

description: The recent shift in inverter technology is the availability of transformerless (TL) inverters. Currently, most
of the major inverter manufacturers have added a transformerless option to their existing inverter portfolio in different
markets. The new types of inverters have increased efficiency yielding similar output at significantly reduced size, compared
to the traditional ones. However, the voltage in such ungrounded systems can be as high as 1500 Vdc, which increases
the demand for modules with potential induced degradation (PID) resistive properties, since the new TL inverters
cannot be grounded on the DC side due to safety concerns. The present study is focused on the evaluation of two representative
traditional types of encapsulant materials, standard EVA and PID-resistant EVA compared against an Ionomerbased
encapsulant, all of which were tested in full-size modules using PID-prone cells. It is demonstrated that the severe
degradation seen in standard Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) can be fully suppressed by inserting a 100 μm thin Ionomer
layer between the front glass and EVA. The results were confirmed in modules fabricated on Yingli’s production line in
Baoding, China.

description: Direct observational evidence for the creation of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) is needed to support the proposed scenarios for their formation. We analysed the dwarf galaxy UGC 7346, located in the peripheral regions of the Virgo Cluster, to highlight a series of properties that indicate the formation of a NSC caught in its earlier stages. First, we report on remnants of a past interaction in the form of diffuse streams or shells, suggesting a recent merging of two dwarf galaxies with a 1:5 stellar mass ratio. Second, we identify a number of globular cluster (GC) candidates that are broadly compatible in colour with the main component that is both more extended and more massive. Strikingly, we find these GCs candidates to be highly concentrated towards the centre of the galaxy (R$_{GC}$ = 0.41 R$_{e}$). We suggest that the central concentration of the GCs is likely produced by the dynamical friction of this merger. This would make UGC 7346 a unique case of a galaxy caught in the earlier stages of NSC formation. The formation of NSCs due to collapse of GCs by dynamical friction in dwarf mergers would provide a natural explanation of the environmental correlations found for the nucleation fraction for early-type dwarf galaxies, whereby denser environments host galaxies with a higher nucleation fraction.

description: Hydrogen (H), introduced into crystalline (c-) or amorphous (a-) silicon (Si), is
important for modifying Si properties, required for solar cell (SC) photovoltaics. To establish correlation
of microscopic H bonding and distribution with the macroscopic properties of Si materials, and to
theoretically interpret experimental spectra (from, e.g., non-destructive infrared or optical techniques) we
carried out finite temperature ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) for both c-Si and a-Si:H. Starting
with H implanted into c-Si and a-Si:H, we simulated the H dynamics, stability, and dissociation product
evolution at various temperatures. For a-Si:H, realistic numerical samples are prepared by melting and
subsequent annealing at different rates. The vibrational frequencies of hydrogen complexes such as BCH,
the H2* and H2** dimers are in good agreement with experiments available. The complexes observed in
AIMD are associated with characteristic features in the electronic and optical spectra of the host Si
material.

description: Glass-to-Glass (GG) encapsulation scheme and low temperature cell metallization-interconnection
technologies known as Smart Wire Connection Technology (SWCT) are promising alternatives to standard design for
highly efficient, long lasting photovoltaic modules. The focus of this work was to study the compatibility of different
types of encapsulants currently available on the market with these new technologies in terms lamination process and
module durability. The feasibility of photovoltaic modules based on GG and SWCT for high-efficiency solar cells is
proven using novel laminating lines with which a process cycle time of 4min can be achieved. The results obtained
show that thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer (TPO) encapsulants have superior performances compared to other
encapsulant types with regards to both the lamination process conditions and the module reliability.

description: Compact array of high-power light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was designed for use as solar simulator.
Light-emitting diodes were mounted on the custom-made metal core printed circuit board to ensure an adequate
mixing of radiant fluxes from different LEDs and sufficient irradiance at the sample plane. It is demonstrated, that
sufficient integrated spectral irradiance in all six spectral ranges specified by the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) standard 60904-9 can be obtained at 7 cm distance from only 72 LEDs using just 53 watts of
electrical power. Non-uniformity of the irradiance was tested by measuring the short circuit current from a crystalline
silicon photodiode. < 2 % deviation from the average value of the photocurrent was demonstrated for the area of 2.2
cm diameter and < 10% deviation – for the area of 5.6 cm diameter, corresponding to A and C class irradiance nonuniformity.

description: We have proposed a newly chemical mechanism generating an important key species to trigger
the potential induced degradation (PID), such as sodium cation (Na+), water, and acetic acid. Based on the
mechanism, to prevent the PID, we try a simple coating by only wiping photovoltaic (PV) modules with a
coating solution, followed by drying. Thus obtained coated module shows the loss of the normal power
(LNP) less than 0.7%, after a duration test at 85C and 85%RH for 96h. The coating solution consists of
fluorine-hybrid of inorganic and organic components, and the resultant coated layer has attained
environmentally tough properties. Furthermore the present material has a function of anti-reflection (AR).
The single coated layers on glass substrates and on c-Si PV modules, attain >3% of enhancement of the lighttrapping
performance (LTP) and to improve >3% of the power generation efficiency, respectively. The
material is nonporous and is hard to cause sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) formation that gives damage to the
initial LTP. The coated layer contains hydrophilic and hydrophobic sites ideally, and the rain drops even
including dirt can be repelled very easily.

description: The series resistance of a solar cell is an important cell parameter as it represents one major source of
electrical losses. In this work, an approach to determine the series resistance as a function of the external current and
the generated photo-current is presented that does not depend on the current-voltage-characteristics of the internal
diode. Thus it is applicable to solar cells even if a description by means of a one- or two-diode model is not possible.
Since this approach relies on the measurement of numerous current-voltage curves at varying illuminations an
implementation using an LED-based solar simulator is favorable. Our investigations on different solar cell
technologies revealed substantial differences of the dependence of the series resistance on the external current and the
generated photo-current.

description: In two recent papers [5] and [6], we generalized some classical results of Harmonic Analysis using probabilistic approach by means of a d- dimensional rotationally symmetric stable process. These results allow one to discuss some boundedness conditions with weaker hypotheses. In this paper, we study a multiplier theorem using these more general results. We consider a product process consisting of a d-dimensional symmetric stable process and a 1-dimensional Brownian motion, and use properties of jump processes to obtain bounds on jump terms and the L^p(R^d)-norm of a new operator.

description: Improvement of cell performance is succeeded in pin cells if a thin n+ layer is fit between the n-doped layer and the
metal contact. This layer will act as a p-n junction and an electrostatic field will force the electrons to reach the metal. In addition,
this highly doped layer may cause excess electrons escaping thermionically, due to potential barrier lowering (as a result of image
charges in the metal) and tunneling current through a thin potential barrier at the semiconductor-metal interface (SM). We are
proposing a new model for treating tunneling. More specifically, we derive an explicit result for the tunneling coefficient T(E) for
electrons tunneling in GaAs – metal contacts in solar cells. The tunneling coefficient is a strong function of the barrier height at the
junction, the effective mass of the tunneling electrons, and the energy of the carriers in the growth direction at the junction. Photogenerated
electrons reaching the semiconductor-metal interface may tunnel through the barrier or thermionically escape above the
barrier. We include barrier lowering due image effects at the interfaces. The result for the tunneling coefficient is simplified for
low energies and a formula for tunneling currents is proposed. We then include the tunneling coefficient as a function of energy in
the general tunneling current integral. The latter includes all the information at the S-M contact and can be treated numerically.
Phenomenological Relativistic Second-Order Hydrodynamics for Multiflavor Fluids

description: In this work, we perform a phenomenological derivation of the first- and second-order relativistic hydrodynamics of dissipative fluids. To set the stage, we start with a review of the ideal relativistic hydrodynamics from energy-momentum and particle number conservation equations. We then go on to discuss the matching conditions to local thermodynamical equilibrium, symmetries of the energy-momentum tensor, decomposition of dissipative processes according to their Lorentz structure, and finally, the definition of the fluid velocity in the Landau and Eckart frames. With this preparatory work, we first formulate the first-order (Navier-Stokes) relativistic hydrodynamics from the entropy flow equation, keeping only the first-order gradients of thermodynamical forces. A generalized form of diffusion terms is found with a matrix of diffusion coefficients describing the relative diffusion between various flavors. The procedure of finding the dissipative terms is then extended to the second order to obtain the most general form of dissipative function for multiflavor systems up to the second order in dissipative fluxes. The dissipative function now includes in addition to the usual second-order transport coefficients of Israel-Stewart theory also second-order diffusion between different flavors. The relaxation-type equations of second-order hydrodynamics are found from the requirement of positivity of the dissipation function, which features the finite relaxation times of various dissipative processes that guarantee the causality and stability of the fluid dynamics. These equations contain a complete set of nonlinear terms in the thermodynamic gradients and dissipative fluxes arising from the entropy current, which are not present in the conventional Israel-Stewart theory.

description: Embedded superlattices (SL) in bulk pin all-GaAs solar cells provide excess thermionic carriers and may lead to
collection efficiency increase. We propose an N-period SL structure, tuned at specific wavelengths and grown in the middle of a
pin GaAs cell at high concentrations. We find that thermionically escaping electrons generate excess current proportional to the
number of periods of the superlattice and to the square root of the solar concentration level (for X suns > 100): Jph ~ N X1/2. We
simulate a p-i-n GaAs cell at one and at 400 suns and predict efficiencies 25.42% and 26.26% respectively. We then include a
GaAs-Ge lattice-matched superlattice (5nm of Ge layers as low-gap); the quantum wells are tuned to 1eV solar photons. By
simulating a p-i-n GaAs cell with a superlattice grown in its intrinsic region at 400 suns, we deduce total efficiency as the sum of
bulk GaAs cell plus excess efficiency due to the embedded and tuned superlattice section of N periods. We write total efficiency
as a sum, and show that excess efficiency depends strongly on X-1/2. Extrapolating, we predict total efficiency 30.21% with a 50-
period superlattice illuminated at 400 suns, and 42.06% efficiency at X=400 with N = 200 periods.

description: Research has now reached the third generation of photovoltaic cells including solar cells based on
organic polymer semiconductors (polymer solar cells). In our previous work, we have studied ultrafast
generation and relaxation dynamics of bound polarons in photovoltaic polymer film using stepping motor
stages to scan delay between pump and probe pulse. The present study investigates the ultrafast dynamics
using fastscan delay stage, which can scan the delay almost 100 times faster than the stepping motor stage.
The result showed that the signal to noise ratio and reproducibility of the measurement were dramatically
increased in the data of the present work compared with those of the previous work.
