High-spin structure and Band Termination in Cd
Excited states of the neutron deficient Cd nucleus have been
investigated via the Ge(Cl, p3n) reaction at beam energy of 135
MeV by use of in-beam spectroscopic methods. Gamma rays depopulating the
excited states were detected using the Gammasphere spectrometer with high-fold
-ray coincidences. A quadrupole -ray coincidence analysis
() has been used to extend the known level scheme. The positive
parity levels have been established up to and
MeV. In addition to the observation of highly-fragmented level scheme belonging
to the positive-parity sequences at E 5 MeV, the termination of a
negative-parity sequence connected by transitions has been established at
and MeV. The experimental results
corresponding to both the positive- and negative-parity sequences have been
theoretically interpreted in the framework of the core particle coupling model.
Evidence is presented for a shape change from collective prolate to
non-collective oblate above the (8011 keV) level and for a
smooth termination of the negative-parity band.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev.
Discussion on a possible neutrino detector located in India
We have identified some important and worthwhile physics opportunitites with
a possible neutrino detector located in India. Particular emphasis is placed on
the geographical advantage with a stress on the complimentary aspects with
respect to other neutrino detectors already in operation.Comment: 9 pages; arXiv copy of published proceedings contributio

Persistence at the onset of spatiotemporal intermittency in coupled map lattices
We study persistence in coupled circle map lattices at the onset of
spatiotemporal intermittency, an onset which marks a continuous transition, in
the universality class of directed percolation, to a unique absorbing state. We
obtain a local persistence exponent of theta_l = 1.49 +- 0.02 at this
transition, a value which closely matches values for theta_l obtained in
stochastic models of directed percolation. This result constitutes suggestive
evidence for the universality of persistence exponents at the directed
percolation transition. Given that many experimental systems are modelled
accurately by coupled map lattices, experimental measurements of this
persistence exponent may be feasible.Comment: 7 pages, Latex, 6 Postscript figures, Europhysics Letters (to appear
