No evidence of break-up effects on the fusion of 9Be with medium-light nuclei
AbstractFusion cross sections were measured for the 9Be+27Al and 19F+9Be, 12C systems, at energies above the Coulomb barrier, in order to investigate the possible effect of fusion hindrance due to the break-up of the weakly bound nuclei. Comparisons with one-dimensional barrier penetration models and with other similar systems, where no break-up is expected to occur, show no evidence of fusion hindrance
Fluctuations, dissipation and the dynamical Casimir effect
Vacuum fluctuations provide a fundamental source of dissipation for systems
coupled to quantum fields by radiation pressure. In the dynamical Casimir
effect, accelerating neutral bodies in free space give rise to the emission of
real photons while experiencing a damping force which plays the role of a
radiation reaction force. Analog models where non-stationary conditions for the
electromagnetic field simulate the presence of moving plates are currently
under experimental investigation. A dissipative force might also appear in the
case of uniform relative motion between two bodies, thus leading to a new kind
of friction mechanism without mechanical contact. In this paper, we review
recent advances on the dynamical Casimir and non-contact friction effects,
highlighting their common physical origin.Comment: 39 pages, 4 figures. Review paper to appear in Lecture Notes in

Hadronic Production of Lambda_c from 600 GeV/c pion, sigma and proton beams
We present data from Fermilab experiment E781 (SELEX) on the hadroproduction
asymmetry for anti-Lambda_c compared to Lambda_c+ as a function of xF and pt2
distributions for Lambda_c+. These data were measured in the same apparatus
using incident pi-, sigma- beams at 600 GeV/c and proton beam at 540 GeV/c. The
asymmetry is studied as a function of xF. In the forward hemisphere with xF >=
0.2 both baryon beams exhibit very strong preference for producing charm
baryons rather than charm antibaryons, while the pion beam asymmetry is much
smaller. In this energy regime the results show that beam fragments play a
major role in the kinematics of Lambda_c formation, as suggested by the leading
quark picture.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures (postscript), RevTeX, submitted to Phy. Rev. Let
