The UV emission from the Sun modulates with the sunspot cycle with an 11-year periodicity. The variations in UV, EUV, and X-rays emission are significant during the solar cycle evolution compared to the visible part of the spectrum. The h & k lines of the Mg II spectra emitted from the chromosphere represent the solar UV variability. The sunspot's magnetic fields and dynamics are responsible for the UV and EUV emissions from the solar chromosphere and corona. This paper compares the Mg II core-to-wing ratio of the h & k lines observed at 278 nm wavelength (obtained from Solar Backscattered Ultraviolet Spectrograph (SBUV) instrument onboard the NOAA satellite) with the sunspot area parameter obtained from Royal Greenwich Observatory. When the sunspot group area is small, there is a linear relationship between the sunspot group area and the Mg II index. But a non-linear relationship between the two is observed for the large sunspot group area. There is no phase delay between the appearance of sunspot groups on the solar photosphere and the emission from the Mg II doublet. Apart from 11-year periodicity, we observed common 4.7, 3.2, and 2.2-year periodicity in both the data sets, suggesting the Mg II index is related to the sunspot parameters.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36067,"journal":{"name":"Physics Open","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666032624000024/pdfft?md5=3bb479717c16f0632c4bc79d76bd67c6&pid=1-s2.0-S2666032624000024-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139885103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A number of bare Au and cadmium covered Ni foils were used to measure thermal and fast neutron flux at the outer surface of the reactor tank. One cadmium covered Au foil was also irradiated at one of the locations on the tank surface, to estimate the epithermal component of neutron flux.

Cadmium ratio for Au for this location was 40.28, indicating a highly thermalized neutron spectrum. No statistically significant activity was found in the irradiated Ni foils, indicating the absence of fast neutron flux above the measurable threshold.

With negligible confinement losses, a highly sensitive H-PCF structure has been proposed for the THz range. With sensitivities of 89.50 %, 91.80 %, and 90.81 %, respectively, at the monitoring region of 1 THz, it can detect three distinct alcohols, including ethanol, butanol, and propanol. At a monitoring frequency of 1 THz, the confinement losses for the first alcohol are 5.45 × 10<sup>−08</sup> dB/m, the second alcohol is 6.01 × 10<sup>−08</sup> dB/m, and the third alcohol is 5.60 × 10<sup>−08</sup> dB/m. Furthermore, the essential graphical representations of additional optical properties, including the effective mode index, effective area, and total power fraction, are extensively examined.
