Jet Production in Polarized Lepton-Hadron Scattering
We calculate exact analytical expressions for \oas 3-jet and \oasz \\ 4-jet
cross sections in polarized deep inelastic lepton nucleon scattering.
Introducing an invariant jet definition scheme, we present differential
distributions of 3- and 4-jet cross sections in the basic kinematical variables
and as well as total jet cross sections and show their dependence on
the chosen spin-dependent (polarized) parton distributions. Noticebly
differences in the predictions are found for the two extreme choices, i.e. a
large negative sea-quark density or a large positive gluon density. Therefore,
it may be possible to discriminate between different parametrizations of
polarized parton densities, and hence between the different physical pictures
of the proton spin underlying these parametrizations.Comment: 35 pages, LaTeX, 9 ps figures available upon request, MAD/PH/827, KA

Intrinsic susceptibility and bond defects in the novel 2D frustrated antiferromagnet BaSnZnCrGaO
We present microscopic and macroscopic magnetic properties of the highly
frustrated antiferromagnet BaSnZnCrGaO,
respectively probed with NMR and SQUID experiments. The -variation of the
intrinsic susceptibility of the Cr frustrated kagom\'{e} bilayer,
, displays a maximum around 45 K. The dilution of the magnetic
lattice has been studied in detail for . Novel dilution
independent defects, likely related with magnetic bond disorder, are evidenced
and discussed. We compare our results to SrCrGaO. Both
bond defects and spin vacancies do not affect the average susceptibility of the
kagom\'{e} bilayers.Comment: Published in Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 217202 (2004). Only minor changes

Constraints on singlet right-handed neutrinos coming from the -width
We study the constraints on masses and mixing angles imposed by the measured
invisible width, in a model in which a singlet right-handed neutrino
mixes with all the Standard Model neutrinos.Comment: Revtex, 7 pages, two figures available from the authors, preprint

Non-perturbative structure of the polarized nucleon sea
We investigate the flavour and quark-antiquark structure of the polarized
nucleon by calculating the parton distribution functions of the nucleon sea
using the meson cloud model. We find that the SU(2) flavor symmetry in the
light antiquark sea and quark-antiquark symmetry in the strange quark sea are
broken, {\it i.e.} \Delta\ubar < \Delta \dbar and \Delta s < \Delta \sbar.
The polarization of the strange sea is found to be positive, which is in
contradiction to previous analyses. We predict a much larger quark-antiquark
asymmetry in the polarized strange quark sea than that in the unpolarized
strange quark sea. Our results for both polarized light quark sea and polarized
strange quark sea are consistent with the recent HERMES data.Comment: RevTex, 17 pages plus 8 PS figure
Dynamics of the Pionium with the Density Matrix Formalism
The evolution of pionium, the hydrogen-like atom, while passing
through matter is solved within the density matrix formalism in the first Born
approximation. We compare the influence on the pionium break-up probability
between the standard probabilistic calculations and the more precise picture of
the density matrix formalism accounting for interference effects. We focus our
general result in the particular conditions of the DIRAC experiment at CERN.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures, submitted to J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Phy
Quantum generalized constant coupling model for geometrically frustrated antiferromagnets
A generalized constant coupling approximation for quantum geometrically
frustrated antiferromagnets is presented. Starting from a frustrated unit, we
introduce the interactions with the surrounding units in terms of an internal
effective field which is fixed by a self consistency condition. Results for the
static magnetic susceptibility and specific heat are compared with previous
results in the framework of this same model for the classical limit. The range
of applicability of the model is discussed.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, 1 Tables, typeset using RevTeX 4, small

Positivity Constraints for Spin-Dependent Parton Distributions
We derive new positivity constraints on the spin-dependent structure
functions of the nucleon. These model independent results reduce conside\-rably
their domain of allowed values, in particular for the chiral-odd parton
distribution .Comment: 8 pages,CPT-94/P.3059,LaTex,3 fig available on cpt.univ-mrs.fr

Novel Quark Fragmentation Functions and the Nucleon's Transversity Distribution
We define twist-two and twist-three quark fragmentation functions in Quantum
Chromodynamics (QCD) and study their physical implications. Using this
formalism we show how the nucleon's transversity distribution can be measured
in single pion inclusive electroproduction.Comment: 10 pages, uses PHYZZX macro package, 2 PostScript figures (added

Determination of scattering lengths from measurement of atom lifetime
The DIRAC experiment at CERN has achieved a sizeable production of
atoms and has significantly improved the precision on its lifetime
determination. From a sample of 21227 atomic pairs, a 4% measurement of the
S-wave scattering length difference
has been attained, providing an important test of Chiral Perturbation Theory.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
