Tau Polarization in and
We discuss the longitudinal and transverse -polarization in inclusive
decays of hadrons containing -quarks. The calculation is performed by means
of an OPE in HQET. Some mathematical difficulties in calculating transverse
polarizations are explained. Numerical results are presented for longitudinal
and for transverse polarizations, both in and perpendicular to the decay plane.Comment: LATEX, 20 pages, 5 Postscript figure

Action minimizing fronts in general FPU-type chains
We study atomic chains with nonlinear nearest neighbour interactions and
prove the existence of fronts (heteroclinic travelling waves with constant
asymptotic states). Generalizing recent results of Herrmann and Rademacher we
allow for non-convex interaction potentials and find fronts with non-monotone
profile. These fronts minimize an action integral and can only exists if the
asymptotic states fulfil the macroscopic constraints and if the interaction
potential satisfies a geometric graph condition. Finally, we illustrate our
findings by numerical simulations.Comment: 19 pages, several figure
Scanning electron‐acoustic microscopy of MgO crystals
The capability of scanning electron‐acoustic microscopy in the characterization of MgO crystals has been studied. The conditions for the observation of different surface and subsurface features in as‐grown and deformed crystals are described and the results are discussed on the basis of thermal and nonthermal mechanisms of acoustic signalgeneration
Measurements of Nanoscale Domain Wall Flexing in a Ferromagnetic Thin Film
We use the high spatial sensitivity of the anomalous Hall effect in the
ferromagnetic semiconductor Ga1-xMnxAs, combined with the magneto-optical Kerr
effect, to probe the nanoscale elastic flexing behavior of a single magnetic
domain wall in a ferromagnetic thin film. Our technique allows position
sensitive characterization of the pinning site density, which we estimate to be
around 10^14 cm^{-3}. Analysis of single site depinning events and their
temperature dependence yields estimates of pinning site forces (10 pN range) as
well as the thermal deactivation energy. Finally, our data hints at a much
higher intrinsic domain wall mobility for flexing than previously observed in
optically-probed micron scale measurements
Vitreous haze as a novel marker for neurodegeneration in MS possibly indicating impairment of the retinal glymphatic system
The Promising Process to Distinguish Supersymmetric Models with Large tan from the Standard Model:
It is shown that in supersymmetric models (SUSYMs) the large supersymmetric
contributions to come from the Feynman diagrams
which consist of exchanging neutral Higgs bosons (NHBs) and the chargino-stop
loop and are proportional to tan when tan
is large and the mass of the lightest neutral Higgs boson m is not too
large (say, less than 150 Gev). Numerical results show that the branching
ratios of can be enhanced by more than 100%
compared to the standard model (SM) and the backward-forward asymmetry of
lepton is significantly different from that in SM when tan.Comment: 8 pages, including 2 figure
Stochastic dynamics and control of a driven nonlinear spin chain: the role of Arnold diffusion
We study a chain of non-linear, interacting spins driven by a static and a
time-dependent magnetic field. The aim is to identify the conditions for the
locally and temporally controlled spin switching. Analytical and full numerical
calculations show the possibility of stochastic control if the underlying
semi-classical dynamics is chaotic. This is achievable by tuning the external
field parameters according to the method described in this paper. We show
analytically for a finite spin chain that Arnold diffusion is the underlying
mechanism for the present stochastic control. Quantum mechanically we consider
the regime where the classical dynamics is regular or chaotic. For the latter
we utilize the random matrix theory. The efficiency and the stability of the
non-equilibrium quantum spin-states are quantified by the time-dependence of
the Bargmann angle related to the geometric phases of the states.Comment: Journal-ref: to appear in J.Phys.
