P. Attfield | Triplet Dimerization Crossover Driven by Magnetic Frustration in In2VO5 | submitted for publication | null | 10.1103/PhysRevB.77.014428 | null | cond-mat.str-el | null | In2VO5, containing magnetically frustrated zig-zag chains, shows a remarkable
magnetic crossover at 120 K between paramagnetic states with positive (17 K)
and negative (-70 K) Weiss temperatures. Magnetic moment and entropy data show
that the V4+ S = 1/2 spins condense into S = 1 triplet dimers below the
crossover. A further freezing of the antiferromagnetically coupled triplet
dimers into a global singlet state is observed at 2.5 K, with no long range
magnetic order down to 0.42 K and in fields up to 9 T. No structural V-V
dimerization is observed by high-resolution X-ray diffraction down to 10 K, but
a subtle lattice anomaly evidences a spin-lattice coupling in the triplet dimer
state. This is assigned to longitudinal oxygen displacement modes that reduce
frustration within the chains and so couple to the spin dimer fluctuations.

constants which abound in physics has continued for many years. However,
relatively recent observations, which appear to indicate a variation in the
value of the fine structure constant, have reignited the subject. These
observations relate to quasars and that in itself raises questions. Also, since
many of the arguments utilise the Bekenstein-Hawking expression for the entropy
of a black hole, further controversy is introduced into the discussion
immediately. In what follows these two points will be examined and some less
well-known theoretical considerations introduced which, hopefully, will
instigate wider examination of this topic.

certain kind of anisotropy, which agrees qualitatively with the angle-resolved

function and density of states (DOS) in the normal state are calculated, with a
weak pseudogap behavior being seen, which is explained as a result of the
strong Coulomb correlations. Our results suggest that the large Fermi surface

Without R^2-terms, the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula has the structure of
the extremal black holes entropy with a shift of the charges depending on the
non-extremality parameter and the moduli at infinity. We derive a generalized
Wald entropy formula for non-extremal N=2 black holes with R^2-terms. We
construct a class of small near-extremal horizon solutions with R^2-terms. In
this case the entropy is the same as in the extremal case to order O(mu^2), and
does not exhibit the charge shift behavior.

http://www2.yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~kimitake/bbhs.html | null | 10.1086/588837 | null | astro-ph gr-qc | null | Hierarchical structure formation inevitably leads to the formation of
supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) with a sub-parsec separation in galactic
nuclei. However, to date there has been no unambiguous detection of such
systems. In an effort to search for potential observational signatures of
supermassive BBHs, we performed high-resolution smoothed particle hydrodynamics
(SPH) simulations of two black holes in a binary of moderate eccentricity
surrounded by a circumbinary disk. Building on our previous work, which has
shown that gas can periodically transfer from the circumbinary disk to the
black holes when the binary is on an eccentric orbit, the current set of
simulations focuses on the formation of the individual accretion disks, their
evolution and mutual interaction, and the predicted radiative signature. The
variation in mass transfer with orbital phase from the circumbinary disk
induces periodic variations in the light curve of the two accretion disks at
ultraviolet wavelengths, but not in the optical or near-infrared. Searches for
this signal offer a promising method to detect supermassive BBHs.

min-entropy splitting and security claims | full version of CRYPTO 2007, LNCS 4622, pages 342-359 | null | null | quant-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We consider the problem of secure identification: user U proves to server S
that he knows an agreed (possibly low-entropy) password w, while giving away as
little information on w as possible, namely the adversary can exclude at most
one possible password for each execution of the scheme. We propose a solution
in the bounded-quantum-storage model, where U and S may exchange qubits, and a
dishonest party is assumed to have limited quantum memory. No other restriction
is posed upon the adversary.
An improved version of the proposed identification scheme is also secure
against a man-in-the-middle attack, but requires U and S to additionally share
a high-entropy key k. However, security is still guaranteed if one party loses
k to the attacker but notices the loss. In both versions of the scheme, the
honest participants need no quantum memory, and noise and imperfect quantum
sources can be tolerated. The schemes compose sequentially, and w and k can
securely be re-used.
A small modification to the identification scheme results in a
quantum-key-distribution (QKD) scheme, secure in the bounded-quantum-storage
model, with the same re-usability properties of the keys, and without assuming
authenticated channels. This is in sharp contrast to known QKD schemes (with
unbounded adversary) without authenticated channels, where authentication keys
must be updated, and unsuccessful executions can cause the parties to run out
of keys.

the harmonic amplitudes of the GEM 2-vectors and the (2/3-sheet) shear
2-tensors. Finally, these are categorized into polar and axial perturbations.

properties of permutations and group automorphisms. The first uses the
Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm to determine an unknown homomorphism from
$Z_{p-1}^{m}$ to $Aut(Z_{p})$ where $p$ is prime. The remaining two make use of
modifications of the Grover search algorithm. The first finds the fixed point
of a permutation or an automorphism (assuming it has only one besides the
identity). It can be generalized to find cycles of a specified size for
permutations or orbits of a specified size for automorphisms. The second finds
which of a set of permutations or automorphisms maps one particular element of
a set or group onto another. This has relevance to the conjugacy problem for
groups. We show how two of these algorithms can be implemented via programmable
quantum processors. This approach opens new perspectives in quantum information
processing, wherein both the data and the programs are represented by states of
quantum registers. In particular, quantum programs that specify control over
data can be treated using methods of quantum information theory.

in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections are analytically and numerically
demonstrated to be essentially independent of the isospin asymmetry of the
medium and increase linearly with density in the high energy region where the

for mean and variance of the state variable. Two sets of colored noise have
been investigated: (a) one additive and one multiplicative colored noise, and
(b) one additive and two multiplicative colored noise. The case (b) is examined
with the relevance to a recent controversy on the stationary subthreshold
voltage distribution of an integrate-and-fire model including stochastic
excitatory and inhibitory synapses and a noisy input. We have studied the
stationary probability distribution and dynamical responses to time-dependent
(pulse and sinusoidal) inputs of the linear Langevin model. Model calculations
have shown that results of the FIM are in good agreement with those of direct
simulations (DSs). A comparison is made among various approximate analytic
solutions such as the universal colored noise approximation (UCNA). It has been
pointed out that dynamical responses to pulse and sinusoidal inputs calculated
by the UCNA are rather different from those of DS and the FIM, although they
yield the same stationary distribution.

Let $\chi$ be the nontrivial character modulo 4. Euler wants to know what
$\sum_p \chi(p)/p$ is, either an exact expression or an approximation. He looks
for analogies to the harmonic series and the series of reciprocals of the
primes.
Another reason he is interested in this is that if this series has a finite
value (which is does, the best approximation Euler gets is 0.3349816 in section
27) then there are infinitely many primes congruent to 1 mod 4 and infinitely
many primes congruent to 3 mod 4.
In section 15 Euler gives the Euler product for the L(chi,1).
As a modern mathematical appendix appendix, I have written a proof following
Davenport that the series $\sum_p \frac{\chi(p)}{p}$ converges. This involves
applications of summation by parts, and uses Chebyshev's estimate for the
second Chebyshev function (summing the von Mangoldt function).

provided that $m$ is sub-linear in the size of the data. When the clean data is
emitted by a piecewise stationary process, we show that the S-DUDE achieves the
optimum distribution-dependent performance, provided that the same
sub-linearity condition is imposed on the number of switches. To further
substantiate the universal optimality of the S-DUDE, we show that when the
number of switches is allowed to grow linearly with the size of the data,
\emph{any} (sequence of) scheme(s) fails to compete in the above senses. Using
dynamic programming, we derive an efficient implementation of the S-DUDE, which
has complexity (time and memory) growing only linearly with the data size and
the number of switches $m$. Preliminary experimental results are presented,
suggesting that S-DUDE has the capacity to significantly improve on the
performance attained by the original DUDE in applications where the nature of
the data abruptly changes in time (or space), as is often the case in practice.

extended the paper to include more statistical results and discussion.) | null | null | null | quant-ph | null | A statistical analysis of the prime numbers indicates possible traces of
quantum chaos. We have computed the nearest neighbor spacing distribution,
number variance, skewness, and excess for sequences of the first N primes for
various values of N. All four statistical measures clearly show a transition
from random matrix statistics at small N toward Poisson statistics at large N.
In addition, the number variance saturates at large lengths as is common for
eigenvalue sequences. This data can be given a physical interpretation if the
primes are thought of as eigenvalues of a quantum system whose classical
dynamics is chaotic at low energy but regular at high energy. We discuss some
difficulties with this interpretation in an attempt to clarify what kind of
physical system might have the primes as its quantum eigenvalues.

M-fivebranes wrapped on calibrated cycles of special holonomy manifolds is
studied. The description is provided by solutions of eleven-dimensional
supergravity which interpolate smoothly between a special holonomy manifold and
an event horizon with Anti-de Sitter geometry. For known examples of Anti-de
Sitter solutions, the associated special holonomy metric is derived. One
explicit Anti-de Sitter solution of M-theory is so treated for fivebranes
wrapping each of the following cycles: K\"{a}hler cycles in Calabi-Yau two-,
three- and four-folds; special lagrangian cycles in three- and four-folds;
associative three- and co-associative four-cycles in $G_2$ manifolds; complex
lagrangian four-cycles in $Sp(2)$ manifolds; and Cayley four-cycles in
$Spin(7)$ manifolds. In each case, the associated special holonomy metric is
singular, and is a hyperbolic analogue of a known metric. The analogous known
metrics are respectively: Eguchi-Hanson, the resolved conifold and the
four-fold resolved conifold; the deformed conifold, and the Stenzel four-fold
metric; the Bryant-Salamon-Gibbons-Page-Pope $G_2$ metrics on an $\mathbb{R}^4$
bundle over $S^3$, and an $\mathbb{R}^3$ bundle over $S^4$ or $\mathbb{CP}^2$;
the Calabi hyper-K\"{a}hler metric on $T^*\mathbb{CP}^2$; and the
Bryant-Salamon-Gibbons-Page-Pope $Spin(7)$ metric on an $\mathbb{R}^4$ bundle
over $S^4$. By the AdS/CFT correspondence, a conformal field theory is
associated to each of the new singular special holonomy metrics, and defines
the quantum gravitational physics of the resolution of their singularities.

that the (left) pure global dimension of $R$ is at most 1. Given an infinite

the conditions as to when the $R$-module $$\prod/\coprod=\prod_{\al\in

are a number of special results regarding this question and this note is meant
to be an addition to and a generalization of the set of these results. Whether
the module in the title is algebraically compact or not depends on the numbers
of algebraically compact and non-compact modules among the components $M_\al$.

systems that have all $f_{\al\be}$ surjective. A number of properties of
$I$-inverse systems have been investigated; such are the Mittag-Leffler
condition, investigated by Grothendieck and flabby and semi-flabby $I$-inverse
systems studied by Jensen. We note that flabby implies semi-flabby implies
surjective implies Mittag-Leffler. Some of the results about surjective inverse
systems have been known for some time. The aim of this note is to give a series
of equivalent statements and implications involving surjective inverse systems
and the systems satisfying the Mittag-Leffler condition, together with
improvements of established results, as well as their relationships with the
already known, but scattered facts. The most prominent results relate
cardinalities of the index sets with right exactness of the inverse limit
functor and the non-vanishing of the inverse limit -- connections related to
cohomological dimensions.

codewords of the higher rate codes are prefixes of those of the lower rate
ones. A perfect family of such codes is one in which each of the codes in the
family is capacity-achieving. We show by construction that perfect rateless
codes with low-complexity decoding algorithms exist for additive white Gaussian
noise channels. Our construction involves the use of layered encoding and
successive decoding, together with repetition using time-varying layer weights.
As an illustration of our framework, we design a practical three-rate code
family. We further construct rich sets of near-perfect rateless codes within
our architecture that require either significantly fewer layers or lower
complexity than their perfect counterparts. Variations of the basic
construction are also developed, including one for time-varying channels in
which there is no a priori stochastic model.

observations of RT Cru, the first of a new sub-class of symbiotic stars that
appear to contain white dwarfs (WDs) capable of producing hard X-ray emission
out to greater than 50 keV. The production of such hard X-ray emission from the
objects in this sub-class (which also includes CD -57 3057, T CrB, and CH Cyg)
challenges our understanding of accreting WDs. We find that the 0.3 -- 8.0 keV
X-ray spectrum of RT Cru emanates from an isobaric cooling flow, as in the
optically thin accretion-disk boundary layers of some dwarf novae. The
parameters of the spectral fit confirm that the compact accretor is a WD, and
they are consistent with the WD being massive. We detect rapid, stochastic
variability from the X-ray emission below 4 keV. The combination of flickering
variability and a cooling-flow spectrum indicates that RT Cru is likely powered
by accretion through a disk. Whereas the cataclysmic variable stars with the
hardest X-ray emission are typically magnetic accretors with X-ray flux
modulated at the WD spin period, we find that the X-ray emission from RT Cru is
not pulsed. RT Cru therefore shows no evidence for magnetically channeled
accretion, consistent with our interpretation that the Chandra spectrum arises
from an accretion-disk boundary layer.

the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) southern survey, a deep imaging survey
obtained by repeatedly scanning a stripe along the Celestial Equator. The five
quasars with 20<z_{AB}<21 are 1-2 magnitudes fainter than the luminous z~6
quasars discovered in the SDSS main survey. One of them was independently
discovered by the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey. These quasars, combined with
another z~6 quasar known in this region, make a complete flux- limited quasar
sample at z_{AB}<21. The sample spans the redshift range 5.85<z<6.12 and the
luminosity range -26.5<M_{1450}<-25.4 (H_0=70 km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1},
Omega_{m}=0.3, and Omega_{Lambda}=0.7). We use the 1/V_{a} method to determine
that the comoving quasar spatial density at <z>=6.0 and <M_{1450}>=-25.8 is
(5.0+/-2.1) x 10^{-9} Mpc^{-3} mag^{-1}. We model the bright-end quasar
luminosity function (QLF) at z~6 as a power law Phi(L_{1450}) \propto
L_{1450}^{beta}. The slope beta calculated from a combination of our sample and
the luminous SDSS quasar sample is -3.1+/-0.4, significantly steeper than the
slope of the QLF at z~4. Based on the derived QLF, we find that the quasar/AGN
population cannot provide enough photons to ionize the intergalactic medium
(IGM) at z~6 unless the IGM is very homogeneous and the luminosity (L*_{1450})
at which the QLF power law breaks is very low.

contact measurement | 14 pages, 7 figures | null | 10.1063/1.3036114 | null | cond-mat.mes-hall | null | A non-equilibrium theory describing the charge qubit dynamics measured by a
quantum point contact is developed based on Schwinger-Keldysh's approach. Using
the real-time diagram technique, we derive the master equation to all orders in
perturbation expansions. The non-Markovian processes in the qubit dynamics is
naturally taken into account. The qubit decoherence, in particular, the
influence of the tunneling-electron fluctuation in the quantum point contact
with a longer time correlation, is studied in the framework. We consider the
Lorentzian-type spectral density to characterize the channel mixture of the
electron tunneling processes induced by the measurement and determine the
correlation time scale of the tunneling-electron fluctuation. The result shows
that as the quantum point contact is casted with a narrower profile of the
spectral density, tunneling electrons can propagate with a longer time
correlation and lead to the non-Markovian processes of the qubit dynamics. The
qubit electron in the charge qubit will be driven coherently. The quantum point
contact measurement with the minimum deviation of the electron tunneling
processes prevents the qubit state from the decoherence.

by calculating the electric polarizations of their spin spiral states on the
basis of density functional theory with spin-orbit coupling. Our work
unambiguously reveals that spin-orbit coupling is responsible for the
ferroelectricity with the primary contribution from the spin-orbit coupling on
the Cu sites, but the asymmetric density distribution responsible for the
electric polarization occurs mainly around the O atoms. The electric
polarization is calculated to be much greater for the ab- than for the bc-plane
spin spiral. The observed spin-spiral plane is found to be consistent with the
observed direction of the electric polarization for LiCuVO4, but inconsistent
for LiCu2O2.

of the problems closely connected to cryptography. For given two functions, f

and the same range, the goal of the problem is to find x and y such that
f(x)=g(y). This paper describes an optimal algorithm using quantum walk that
solves this problem. Our algorithm can be generalized to find a claw of k
functions for any constant integer k>1, where the domains of the functions may
have different size.

complex network with scale-free topology, comparing with those of the so-called

perturbation that flips the state of a single node of attractors in the
relatively small network ($N=30 \sim 200$). It is shown that the rate of frozen

the random Kauffman model. Furthermore, we have found that in the complex
scale-free networks with fluctuations of in-degree number the attractors are
more sensitive to the state flip of a highly connected node than to the state
flip of a less connected node.

performed with active and passive devices in different locations and
orientations of the Russian segment of the station. The goal is to perform a
detailed evaluation of the differences in particle fluence and nuclear
composition due to different shielding material and attitude of the station.
The Sileye-3/Alteino detector is used to identify nuclei up to Iron in the
energy range above 60 MeV/n. Several passive dosimeters (TLDs, CR39) are also
placed in the same location of Sileye-3 detector. Polyethylene shielding is
periodically interposed in front of the detectors to evaluate the effectiveness
of shielding on the nuclear component of the cosmic radiation. The project was
submitted to ESA in reply to the AO in the Life and Physical Science of 2004
and data taking began in December 2005. Dosimeters and data cards are rotated
every six months: up to now three launches of dosimeters and data cards have
been performed and have been returned with the end of expedition 12 and 13.

Orbit with an apparatus optimized to perform a precise determination of the
galactic antimatter component of c.r. It is constituted by a number of
detectors built around a permanent magnet spectrometer. PAMELA was launched in
space on June 15th 2006 on board the Russian Resurs-DK1 satellite for a mission
duration of three years. The characteristics of the detectors, the long
lifetime and the orbit of the satellite, will allow to address several aspects
of cosmic-ray physics. In this work we discuss the observational capabilities
of PAMELA to detect the electron component above 50 MeV. The magnetic
spectrometer allows a detailed measurement of the energy spectrum of electrons
of galactic and Jovian origin. Long term measurements and correlations with
Earth-Jupiter 13 months synodic period will allow to separate these two
contributions and to measure the primary electron Jovian component, dominant in
the 50-70 MeV energy range. With this technique it will also be possible to
study the contribution to the electron spectrum of Jovian e- reaccelerated up
to 2 GeV at the Solar Wind Termination Shock.

systole admits a metric-independent volume bound if and only if there are
cohomology classes of degree $k$ that generate cohomology in top-degree.
Moreover, it turns out that in the nonorientable case such a bound does not

Additionally, we prove that the stable systolic constant depends only on the

Consequently, the stable $k$-systolic constant is completely determined by the

Schwinger parameters and contains the BRST operator. It builds surfaces by
gluing strips of variable width to the left and to the right of off-shell
states with contracted or expanded local frames. We evaluate explicitly the
four-point amplitude of off-shell tachyons. The computation involves a subtle
boundary term, crucial to enforce the correct exchange symmetries.
Interestingly, the familiar on-shell physics emerges even though string
diagrams produce Riemann surfaces more than once. Off-shell, the amplitudes do
not factorize over intermediate on-shell states.

that the selection rule widely used in the literature is incorrect unless near
the crossing/anticrossing point in single quantum dots. The triplet/singlet
relaxation in double quantum dots can be markedly changed by varying barrier
height, inter-dot distance, external magnetic field and dot size.

infer some of the basic parameters of the flow (speed, density, magnetic field

It is introduced as a modified BA model in which all the edges connected to the

Since most real networks are both scale-free and small-world networks, our

variables controlling the establishment of edges between pairs of vertices have
attracted much attention. Here, we present a specific realization of a class of
random network models in which the connection probability between two vertices
(i,j) is a specific function of degrees ki and kj. In the framework of the
configuration model of random graphs, we find analytical expressions for the
degree correlation and clustering as a function of the variance of the desired
degree distribution. The expressions obtained are checked by means of numerical
simulations. Possible applications of our model are discussed.

magnetoresistance in quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channels in the
resistive state. The model is based on the assumption that fluctuations of the
order parameter (phase slips) are responsible for the finite effective
resistance of a narrow superconducting wire sufficiently close to the critical
temperature. Each fluctuation is accompanied by an instant formation of a
quasi-normal region of the order of the non-equilibrium quasiparticle
relaxation length 'pinned' to the core of the phase slip. The effective
time-averaged voltage measured in experiment is a sum of two terms. First one
is the conventional contribution linked to the rate of the fluctuations via the
Josephson relation. Second term is the Ohmic contribution of this quasi-normal
region. Depending on material properties of the wire, there might be a range of
magnetic fields where the first term is not much affected, while the second
term is effectively suppressed contributing to the experimentally observed
negative magnetoresistance.

meson in the psi(2S) K_S CP-eigenstate decay channel, and the flavor of the
accompanying B meson is identified to be either B^0 or \bar{B}^0 from its decay

A (psi(2S) K_S) = +0.04 +/- 0.07(stat) +/- 0.05(syst).
These results are in agreement with results from measurements of B^0 -> J/psi
K^0.

resolution figures | null | 10.1111/j.1365-2966.2007.12140.x | null | astro-ph | null | Abridged. We present high-quality optical spectra for 12 powerful radio
sources at low and intermediate redshifts (z < 0.7) that show evidence for a
substantial UV excess. These data were taken using the WHT and VLT to determine
the detailed properties of the young stellar populations (YSPs) in the host
galaxies as part of a larger project to investigate evolutionary scenarios for
the AGN host galaxies. The results of our spectral synthesis model fits to the
spectra highlight the importance of taking into account AGN-related components
(emission lines, nebular continuum, scattered light) and reddening of the
stellar populations in studies of this type. It is also clear that careful
examination of the fits to the spectra, as well consideration of auxilary
polarimetric and imaging data, are required to avoid degeneracies in the model
solutions. In 3/12 sources in our sample we find broad permitted line
components, and a combination of AGN-related continuum components and an old
(12.5 Gyr) stellar population provides an adequate fit to the data. In the
remaining 9 sources we find strong evidence for YSPs. In contrast to some
recent studies that suggest relatively old post-starburst ages for the YSPs in
radio galaxies (0.3-2.5 Gyr), we deduce a wide range of ages for the YSPs in
our sample objects (0.02-1.5 Gyr), with ~50% of the sample showing evidence for
young YSP ages (<~0.1 Gyr) in their nuclear regions. The nuclear YSPs are often
significantly reddened (0.2 < E(B-V) < 1.4) and make up a substantial fraction
(~1-35%) of the total stellar mass in the regions sampled by the spectroscopic
slits. Moreover, in all the cases in which we have sufficient spatial
resolution we find that the UV excess is extended across the full measureable
extent of the galaxy (typically 5-30 kpc), suggesting galaxy-wide starbursts.

constructed a structural map for the Hercules system using three-filter
photometry to V ~ 25.5. This is the first deep photometry for this system, and
it indicates that Hercules is unusually elongated, possibly indicating
distortion due to the Galactic tidal field. We have also derived the first star
formation history for the Leo T system, and find that its oldest population of
stars (age ~ 13 Gyr) were relatively metal-rich, with [Fe/H] ~ -1.5.

negligible. Such as: I), the HBT time-related puzzle exists at all energies.
II), at low AGS energies, the calculated volume as well as the mean free path
of pion source at freeze-out are lower than data. It implies that a better
description of interactions of particles at early stage of HICs is required.

focussing on the two-times evolution of an interface in the absence of any

aging behavior develops. A multiplicative aging scenario for the two-times
roughness of the system is observed, characterized by the same growth exponent
as in the stationary regime. The analysis permits the identification of the
relevant growing correlation length, accounting for the important scaling
variables in the system. The distribution function of the two-times roughness
is also computed and described in terms of a generalized scaling relation.
These results give good insight into the glassy dynamics of the important case
of a non-linear elastic line in a disordered medium.

ferromagnetically below 319 K while the structural phase transition occurs at
T$_M$ $\sim$ 200 K. EXAFS measurements have been carried out at Mn and Ni
K-edges and changes associated with respect to the local structure of these
absorbing atoms are compared. Significant changes in the nearest neighbour
interactions are seen as the system transits to the low temperature martensitic
phase. EXAFS provides evidence for local structural distortion even in the
cubic phase that is not seen from the x-ray diffraction studies. The results
obtained are understood in terms of changing hybridization between the
constituent atoms that influence the electronic structure at the Fermi level,
associated with the austenitic-to-martensitic transition.

investigate the influence of air contamination on the VUV scintillation yield
in gaseous argon at atmospheric pressure. We determine with a radioactive
alpha-source the photon yield for various partial air pressures and different
reflectors and wavelength shifters. We find for the fast scintillation
component a time constant tau1= 11.3 +- 2.8 ns, independent of gas purity.
However, the decay time of the slow component depends on gas purity and is a
good indicator for the total VUV light yield. This dependence is attributed to
impurities destroying the long-lived argon excimer states. The population ratio
between the slowly and the fast decaying excimer states is determined for
alpha-particles to be 5.5 +-0.6 in argon gas at 1100 mbar and room temperature.
The measured mean life of the slow component is tau2 = 3.140 +- 0.067 microsec
at a partial air pressure of 2 x 10-6 mbar.

dynamics of Laguerre-Gaussian beam in left-handed materials (LHMs) is
presented. We show that negative phase velocity gives rise to a reversed screw
of wave-front, and ultimately leads to a reversed rotation of optical vortex.
Furthermore, negative Gouy-phase shift causes an inverse spiral of Poynting
vector. It is found that the Laguerre-Gaussian beam in LHMs will present the
same propagation characteristics as the counterpart with opposite topological
charges in regular right-handed materials (RHMs). The momentum conservation
theorem insures that the tangential component of the wave momentum at the
RHM-LHM boundary is conserved. It is shown that although the linear momentum
reverses its direction, the angular momentum remains unchanged.

novel superconductors, e.g., d-wave based or JJ with ferromagnetic barrier. In
this situation the role of the second harmonic becomes dominant and it
determines the scenario of a 0-pi transition. We discuss different mechanisms
of the second harmonic generation and its sign. If the second harmonic is
negative the 0-pi transition becomes continuous and the realization of the
so-called varphi junction is possible. We study the unusual properties of such
a novel JJ and analyze the possible experimental techniques for their
observation.

the formation of intermediate baryon systems. We observed that the data
demonstrate the regime change and saturation. The angular distributions of slow
particles exhibit some structure in the above mentioned reactions at low
energy. We believe that the structure could be connected with the formation and
decay of the percolation cluster. With increasing the mass of colliding nuclei,
the structure starts to become weak and almost disappears ultimately. This
shows that the number of secondary internuclear interactions increases with
increasing the mass of the colliding nuclei. The latter could be a reason of
the disintegration of any intermediate formations as well as clusters, which
decrease their influence on the angular distribution of the emitted particles.

surface fills by rows through a {\it zipping} mechanism. The multiple time

Digital Sky Survey | 9 pages, 11 figures, Accepted for publication in ApJ | null | 10.1086/522573 | null | astro-ph | null | Using Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5, we have investigated the
intrinsic axis ratio distribution (ARD) for early-type galaxies. We have
constructed a volume-limited sample of 3,922 visually-inspected early-type
galaxies at $0.05 \leq z \leq 0.06$ carefully considering sampling biases
caused by the galaxy isophotal size and luminosity. We attempt to de-project
the observed ARD into three-dimensional types (oblate, prolate, and triaxial),
which are classified in terms of triaxiality. We confirm that no linear
combination of $randomly$-distributed axis ratios of the three types can
reproduce the observed ARD. However, using Gaussian intrinsic distributions, we
have found reasonable fits to the data with preferred mean axis ratios for
oblate, prolate, and triaxial (triaxials in two axis ratios), $\mu_o=0.44,
\mu_p=0.72, \mu_{t,\beta}=0.92, \mu_{t,\gamma}=0.78$ where the fractions of
oblate, prolate and triaxial types are
\textrm{O:P:T}=0.29^{\pm0.09}:0.26^{\pm0.11}:0.45^{\pm0.13}$. We have also
found that the luminous sample ($-23.3 < M_r \leq -21.2$) tends to have more
triaxials than the less luminous ($-21.2 < M_r <-19.3$) sample does. Oblate is
relatively more abundant among the less luminous galaxies. Interestingly, the
preferences of axis ratios for triaxial types in the two luminosity classes are
remarkably similar. We have not found any significant influence of the local
galaxy number density on ARD. We show that the results can be seriously
affected by the details in the data selection and type classification scheme.
Caveats and implications on galaxy formation are discussed.

endomorphism $X$ of $\R^N$ is captured in the study of its associated zonotope
$Z(X)$, and, by duality, its associated hyperplane arrangement ${\cal H}(X)$.
This well-known line of study is particularly interesting in case $n\eqbd\rank
X \ll N$. We enhance this study to an algebraic level, and associate $X$ with
three algebraic structures, referred herein as {\it external, central, and
internal.} Each algebraic structure is given in terms of a pair of homogeneous
polynomial ideals in $n$ variables that are dual to each other: one encodes
properties of the arrangement ${\cal H}(X)$, while the other encodes by duality
properties of the zonotope $Z(X)$. The algebraic structures are defined purely
in terms of the combinatorial structure of $X$, but are subsequently proved to
be equally obtainable by applying suitable algebro-analytic operations to
either of $Z(X)$ or ${\cal H}(X)$. The theory is universal in the sense that it
requires no assumptions on the map $X$ (the only exception being that the
algebro-analytic operations on $Z(X)$ yield sought-for results only in case $X$
is unimodular), and provides new tools that can be used in enumerative
combinatorics, graph theory, representation theory, polytope geometry, and
approximation theory.

A*) has unique properties. The most striking feature is a suggestive periodic
sub-structure that has been observed in a couple of flares so far. Using
near-infrared polarimetric observations and modelling the quasi-periodicity in
terms of an orbiting blob, we try to constrain the three dimensional
orientation of the Sgr A* system. We report on so far unpublished polarimetric
data from 2003. They support the observations of a roughly constant mean
polarization angle of 60 degr \pm 20 degr from 2004-2006. Prior investigations
of the 2006 data are deepened. In particular, the blob model fits are evaluated
such that constraints on the position angle of Sgr A* can be derived.
Confidence contours in the position-inclination angle plane are derived. On a
3sigma level the position angle of the equatorial plane normal is in the range
60 degr - 108 degr (east of north) in combination with a large inclination
angle. This agrees well with recent independent work in which radio
spectral/morphological properties of Sgr A* and X-ray observations,
respectively, have been used. However, the quality of the presently available
data and the uncertainties in our model bring some ambiguity to our
conclusions.

preprint | Phys. Rev. A 77, 022705 (2008) | 10.1103/PhysRevA.77.022705 | null | physics.atom-ph physics.chem-ph | null | We present an analytical study of three-state Feshbach resonances induced by
second-order couplings. Such resonances arise when the scattering amplitude is
modified by the interaction with a bound state that is not directly coupled to
the scattering state containing incoming flux. Coupling occurs indirectly
through an intermediate state. We consider two problems: (i) the intermediate
state is a scattering state in a distinct open channel; (ii) the intermediate
state is an off-resonant bound state in a distinct closed channel. The first
problem is a model of electric-field-induced resonances in ultracold collisions
of alkali metal atoms [Phys. Rev. A 75, 032709 (2007)] and the second problem
is relevant for ultracold collisions of complex polyatomic molecules, chemical
reaction dynamics, photoassociation of ultracold atoms, and electron - molecule
scattering. Our analysis yields general expressions for the energy dependence
of the T-matrix elements modified by three-state resonances and the dependence
of the resonance positions and widths on coupling amplitudes for the
weak-coupling limit. We show that the second problem can be generalized to
describe resonances induced by indirect coupling through an arbitrary number of
sequentially coupled off-resonant bound states and analyze the dependence of
the resonance width on the number of the intermediate states.

D | Phys.Rev.D77:024010,2008 | 10.1103/PhysRevD.77.024010 | null | gr-qc astro-ph hep-th | null | TeVeS, a relativistic theory of gravity, was designed to provide a basis for
the modified Newtonian dynamics. Since TeVeS differs from general relativity
(e.g., it has two metrics, an Einstein metric and a physical metric), black
hole solutions of it would be valuable for a number of endeavors ranging from
astrophysical modeling to investigations into the interrelation between gravity
and thermodynamics. Giannios has recently found a TeVeS analogue of the
Schwarzschild black hole solution. We proceed further with the program by
analytically solving the TeVeS equations for a static spherically symmetric and
asymptotically flat system of electromagnetic and gravity fields. We show that
one solution is provided by the Reissner-Nordstrom metric as physical metric,
the TeVeS vector field pointing in the time direction, and a TeVeS scalar field
positive everywhere (the last feature protects from superluminal propagation of
disturbances in the fields). We work out black hole thermodynamics in TeVeS
using the physical metric; black hole entropy, temperature and electric
potential turn out to be identical to those in general relativity. We find it
inconsistent to base thermodynamics on the Einstein metric. In light of this we
reconsider the Dubovsky-Sibiryakov scenario for violating the second law of
thermodynamics in theories with Lorentz symmetry violation.

excitation cross sections for Fe XVI are used to determine theoretical

comparison of the EUV results with observations from the Solar
Extreme-Ultraviolet Research Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS) reveals
excellent agreement between theory and experiment. However, for emission lines
in the 32 - 49 A portion of the soft X-ray spectral region, there are large
discrepancies between theory and measurement for both a solar flare spectrum
obtained with the X-Ray Spectrometer/Spectrograph Telescope (XSST) and
observations of Capella from the Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer
(LETGS) on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. These are probably due to blending in
the solar flare and Capella data from both first order lines and from shorter
wavelength transitions detected in second and third order. By contrast, there
is very good agreement between our theoretical results and the XSST and LETGS
observations in the 50 - 77 A wavelength range, contrary to previous results.
In particular, there is no evidence that the Fe XVI emission from the XSST
flare arises from plasma at a much higher temperature than that expected for Fe
XVI in ionization equilibrium, as suggested by earlier work.

performed for the time-evolution of continuum electrons in the fields of moving
charges. Here the essential singularity associated with the diverging phase
factor in the continuum wave function is identified and removed analytically.
As a result, the continuum components of the regularized wave function are
slowly varying with time. Therefore, one can propagate continuum electrons to
asymptotically large times and obtain numerically stable, well-converged
ejected electron momentum spectra with very low numerical noise. As a
consequence, our approach resolves outstanding controversies concerning
structures in electron momentum distributions. The main conclusions are general
and are illustrated here for ionization of atomic hydrogen by proton impact.
Our results show that in order to obtain correct long-time free-particle
propagation, the essential singularity identified here should be removed from
the continuum components of solutions to the time-dependent Schrodinger
equation.

Battaner | On the metallicity dependence of the 24micron luminosity as a star
formation tracer | accepted for publication in ApJ Letters | null | 10.1086/522371 | null | astro-ph | null | We investigate the use of the rest-frame 24microns luminosity as an indicator
of the star formation rate (SFR) in galaxies with different metallicities by
comparing it to the (extinction corrected) Halpha luminosity. We carry out this
analysis in 2 steps: First, we compare the emission from HII regions in
different galaxies with metallicities between 12+log(O/H) = 8.1 and 8.9. We
find that the 24microns and the extinction corrected Halpha luminosities from
individual HII regions follow the same correlation for all galaxies,
independent of their metallicity. Second, the role of metallicity is explored
further for the integrated luminosity in a sample of galaxies with
metallicities in the range of 12+log(O/H) = 7.2 - 9.1. For this sample we
compare the 24microns and Halpha luminosities integrated over the entire
galaxies and find a lack of the 24microns emission for a given Halpha
luminosity for low metallicity objects, likely reflecting a low dust content.
These results suggest that the 24microns luminosity is a good metallicity
independent tracer for the SFR in individual HII regions. On the other hand,
metallicity has to be taken into account when using the 24microns luminosity as
a tracer for the SFR of entire galaxies.

$L^p$-integral of the Green function of a simply-connected planar domain
$\Omega$ with rectifiable simple curve as boundary are established through a
sharp one-dimensional power integral estimate of Riemann-Stieltjes type and the
Huber analytic and geometric isoperimetric inequalities under finiteness of the
positive part of total Gauss curvature of a conformal metric on $\Omega$.
Consequently, new analytic and geometric isoperimetric-type inequalities are
discovered. Furthermore, when applying the geometric principle to
two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, we find fortunately that $\{0,1\}$-form
of the induced principle is midway between Moser-Trudinger's inequality and
Nash-Sobolev's inequality on complete noncompact boundary-free surfaces, and
yet equivalent to Nash-Sobolev's/Faber-Krahn's
eigenvalue/Heat-kernel-upper-bound/Log-Sobolev's inequality on the surfaces
with finite total Gauss curvature and quadratic area growth.

galaxies of the Toomre sequence, based on high spatial resolution J, H, and K
imaging data using NICMOS onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The
observations are less affected by dust extinction than our previous HST/WFPC2
observations and offer higher spatial resolution than existing ground-based
near-IR data. We see a marginal trend for the nuclei to become bluer with
advancing merger stage, which we attribute to a dispersal of dust at late times
in the merging process. Our data also indicate a statistically significant
trend for the nuclei in the sequence to become more luminous, within an
aperture of fixed physical size and after correcting for dust extinction, with
advancing merger stage. We derive K-band surface brightness profiles for those
nuclei for which the morphology allows a meaningful isophotal analysis, and fit
the profiles with a ``Nuker law'' for comparison with other samples of galaxies
observed with HST. The majority of the nuclei have steep profiles that can be
characterized as power-law type. In general, the Toomre sequence galaxies tend
to have steeper profiles and higher central luminosity surface densities than
E/S0's. We derive V-K color profiles for the nuclei to further address this
possibility, but find that the large amounts of dust extinction complicate
their interpretation. Overall, our results are consistent with the generic
predictions of N-body simulations of spiral galaxy mergers. If left to evolve
and fade for several Gyrs, it is possible that the properties of the Toomre
sequence nuclei would resemble theproperties of the nuclei of normal E/S0
galaxies. Our results therefore support the view that mergers of spiral
galaxies can lead to the formation of early-type galaxies (Abridged).

from a strongly magnetized astrophysical object like gamma ray bursts (GRBs)
offers an opportunity to test the hypothesis of invisible axion. The axionic
induced dichroism of gamma rays at different energies should cause a
misalignment of the polarization plane for higher energy events relative to
that one for lower energies events resulting in the loss of statistics needed
to form a pattern of the polarization signal to be recognized in a detector.
According to this, any evidence of polarized gamma rays coming from an object
with extended magnetic field could be interpreted as a constraint on the
existence of the invisible axion for a certain parameter range. Based on
reports of polarized MeV emission detected in several GRBs we derive a
constraint on the axion-photon coupling. This constraint $\g_{a\gamma\gamma}\le
2.2\cdot 10^{-11} {\rm GeV^{-1}}$ calculated for the axion mass $m_a=10^{-3}
{\rm eV}$ is competitive with the sensitivity of CAST and becomes even stronger
for lower masses.

are discussed by applying results from the field theoretic renormalization
group (RG). The long time and long wavelength features of this microscopic
reaction scheme belong to the same universality class as multi-colored directed
percolation processes. Thus, the following RG fixed points (FP) govern the
critical dynamics of the Frank model for d<4: one unstable FP that corresponds
to complete decoupling between the two enantiomers, a saddle-point that
corresponds to symmetric interspecies coupling, and two stable FPs that
individually correspond to unidirectional couplings between the two chiral
molecules. These latter two FPs are associated with the breakdown of mirror or
chiral symmetry. In this simplified model of molecular synthesis, homochirality
is a natural consequence of the intrinsic reaction noise in the critical
regime, which corresponds to extremely dilute chemical systems.
