Soliton-Magnon Scattering in Two-Dimensional Isotropic Ferromagnets
It is studied the scattering of magnons by the 2d topological
Belavin-Polyakov soliton in isotropic ferromagnet. Analytical solutions of the
scattering problem are constructed: (i) exactly for any magnon wave vectors for
the partial wave with the azimuthal number m=1 (translational mode), and (ii)
in the long- and short-wave limits for the rest modes. The magnon mode
frequencies are found for the finite size magnets. An effective equation of the
soliton motion is constructed. The magnon density of states, connected with the
soliton-magnon interaction, is found in a long-wave approximation.Comment: 4 pages, REVTe
On the polarization properties of the charmed baryon Lambda^+_c in the Lambda^+_c -> p + K^- + pi^+ + pi^0 decay
The polarization properties of the charmed Lambda^+_c baryon are investigated
in weak non-leptonic four-body Lambda^+_c -> p + K^- + pi^+ + pi^0 decay. The
probability of this decay and the angular distribution of the probability are
calculated in the effective quark model with chiral U(3)XU(3) symmetry
incorporating Heavy Quark Effective theory (HQET) and the extended
Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with a linear realization of chiral U(3)XU(3)
symmetry. The theoretical value of the probability of the decay Lambda^+_c -> p
+ K^- + pi^+ + pi^0 relative to the probability of the decay Lambda^+_c -> p +
K^- + pi^+ does not contain free parameters and fits well experimental data.
The application of the obtained results to the analysis of the polarization of
the Lambda^+_c produced in the processes of photo and hadroproduction is
discussed.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, Late
Ignition of Deflagration and Detonation Ahead of the Flame due to Radiative Preheating of Suspended Micro Particles
We study a flame propagating in the gaseous combustible mixture with
suspended inert particles. The gas is assumed to be transparent for the
radiation emitted by the combustion products, while particles absorb and
re-emit the radiation. Thermal radiation heats the particles, which in turn
transfer the heat to the surrounding gaseous mixture by means of heat
conduction, so that the gas temperature lags that of the particles. We consider
different scenarios depending on the spatial distribution of the particles,
their size and the number density. In the case of uniform distribution of the
particles the radiation causes a modest increase of the temperature ahead of
the flame and the corresponding increase of the flame velocity. The effects of
radiation preheating is stronger for a flame with smaller normal velocity. In
the case of non-uniform distribution of the particles, such that the particles
number density is smaller just ahead of the flame and increases in the distant
region ahead of the flame, the preheating caused by the thermal radiation may
trigger additional independent source of ignition. This scenario requires the
formation of a temperature gradient with the maximum temperature sufficient for
ignition in the region of denser particles cloud ahead of the advancing flame.
Depending on the steepness of the temperature gradient formed in the unburned
mixture, either deflagration or detonation can be initiated via the Zeldovich's
gradient mechanism. The ignition and the resulting combustion regimes depend on
the temperature profile which is formed in effect of radiation absorption and
gas-dynamic expansion. In the case of coal dust flames propagating through a
layered dust cloud the effect of radiation heat transfer can result in the
propagation of combustion wave with velocity up to 1000m/s and can be a
plausible explanation of the origin of dust explosion in coal mines.Comment: 45 pages, 14 figures. Accepted for publication Combustion and Flame

Internal Modes and Magnon Scattering on Topological Solitons in 2d Easy-Axis Ferromagnets
We study the magnon modes in the presence of a topological soliton in a 2d
Heisenberg easy-axis ferromagnet. The problem of magnon scattering on the
soliton with arbitrary relation between the soliton radius R and the "magnetic
length" Delta_0 is investigated for partial modes with different values of the
azimuthal quantum numbers m. Truly local modes are shown to be present for all
values of m, when the soliton radius is enough large. The eigenfrequencies of
such internal modes are calculated analytically on limiting case of a large
soliton radius and numerically for arbitrary soliton radius. It is demonstrated
that the model of an isotropic magnet, which admits an exact analytical
investigation, is not adequate even for the limit of small radius solitons,
R<<Delta_0: there exists a local mode with nonzero frequency. We use the data
about local modes to derive the effective equation of soliton motion; this
equation has the usual Newtonian form in contrast to the case of the easy-plane
ferromagnet. The effective mass of the soliton is found.Comment: 33 pages (REVTeX), 12 figures (EPS
Higgs masses of the general 2HDM in the Minkowski-space formalism
We study the masses of the Higgs bosons in the most general two-Higgs-doublet
model in a basis-independent approach. We adapt the recently developed
Minkowski-space formalism to this problem and calculate traces of any power of
the mass-matrix in a compact and reparametrization-invariant form. Our results
can be used to gain insight into the dynamics of the scalar sector of the
general 2HDM.Comment: 14 pages, no figures; v2: reference added, misprints correcte
The evolution of vacuum states and phase transitions in 2HDM during cooling of Universe
We consider the evolution of the ground state in the Two Higgs Doublet Model
during cooling down of the Universe after the Big Bang. Different regions in
the space of free parameters of this model correspond to different sequences of
thermal phase transitions. We discuss different paths of thermal evolution and
corresponding evolution of physical properties of the system for different
modern values of the parameters.Comment: 28 pages, 12 figure
