Extended Modified Observable Technique for a Multi-Parametric Trilinear Gauge Coupling Estimation at LEP II
This paper describes the extension of the Modified Observables technique in
estimating simultaneously more than one Trilinear Gauge Couplings. The optimal
properties, unbiasedness and consistent error estimation of this method are
demonstrated by Monte Carlo experimentation using four-fermion
final state topologies. Emphasis is given in the determination of the expected
sensitivities in estimating the and
pair of couplings with data from the 183
GeV LEPII run.Comment: (17 pages, 8 figures
Multidimensional Binning Techniques for a Two Parameter Trilinear Gauge Coupling Estimation at LEP II
This paper describes two generalization schemes of the Optimal Variables
technique in estimating simultaneously two Trilinear Gauge Couplings. The first
is an iterative procedure to perform a 2-dimensional fit using the linear terms
of the expansion of the probability density function with respect to the
corresponding couplings, whilst the second is a clustering method of
probability distribution representation in five dimensions. The pair production
of W's at 183 GeV center of mass energy, where one W decays leptonically and
the other hadronically, was used to demonstrate the optimal properties of the
proposed estimation techniques.Comment: (25 pages, 11 figures
Update on tests of the Cen A neutron-emission model of highest energy cosmic rays
We propose that neutron emission from Cen A dominates the cosmic ray sky at
the high end of the spectrum. Neutrons that are able to decay generate proton
diffusion fronts, whereas those that survive decay produce a spike in the
direction of the source. We use recent data reported by the Pierre Auger
Collaboration to normalize the injection spectrum and estimate the required
luminosity in cosmic rays. We find that such a luminosity, L_{CR} ~ 5 x 10^{40}
erg/s, is considerably smaller than the bolometric luminosity of Cen A, L_{bol}
~ 10^{43} erg/s. We compute the incoming current flux density as viewed by an
observer on Earth and show that the anisotropy amplitude is in agreement with
data at the 1\sigma level. Regardless of the underlying source model, our
results indicate that after a decade of data taking the Pierre Auger
Observatory will be able to test our proposal.Comment: To be published in PR
Percolation approach to quark gluon plasma in high energy pp collisions
We apply continuum percolation to proton-proton collisions and look for the
possible threshold to phase transition from confined nuclear matter to quark
gluon plasma. Making the assumption that J/Psi suppression is a good signal to
the transition, we discuss this phenomenon for pp collisions, in the framework
of a dual model with strings.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
Lagrangian formulation for noncommutative nonlinear systems
In this work we use the well known formalism developed by Faddeev and Jackiw
to introduce noncommutativity within two nonlinear systems, the SU(2) Skyrme
and O(3) nonlinear sigma models. The final result is the Lagrangian
formulations for the noncommutative versions of both models. The possibility of
obtaining different noncommutative versions for these nonlinear systems is
demonstrated.Comment: 8 pages. Revex 4.
Six-dimensional weak-strong simulations of head-on beam-beam compensation in RHIC
To compensate the large beam-beam tune spread and beam-beam resonance driving
terms in the polarized proton operation in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC), we will introduce a low-energy DC electron beam into each ring to
collide head-on with the opposing proton beam. The device to provide the
electron beam is called an electron lens. In this article, using a 6-D
weak-strong-beam-beam interaction simulation model, we investigate the effects
of head-on beam-beam compensation with electron lenses on the proton beam
dynamics in the RHIC 250 GeV polarized proton operation. This article is
abridged from the published article [1].Comment: 5 pages, contribution to the ICFA Mini-Workshop on Beam-Beam Effects

Phase locking dynamics of dipolarly coupled vortex-based spin transfer oscillators
Phase locking dynamics of dipolarly coupled vortices excited by
spin-polarized current in two identical nanopillars is studied as a function of
the interpillar distance L. Numerical study and analytical model have proved
the remarkable efficiency of magneto-static interaction to achieve phase
locking. Investigating the dynamics in the transient regime towards phase
locking, we extract the evolution of the locking time \tau, the coupling
strength {\mu} and the interaction energy W. Finally, we compare this coupling
energy with the one obtained by simple model.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
