Bandwidth aspects in second generation current conveyors
This paper discusses bandwidth problems associated with second-generation current conveyors (CCII). In particular, our work is centered in high-capacitance applications, and has been oriented for wireless optical links and applied physics. We discuss techniques for improving bandwidth in these CCIIs, and develop a new CCII structure with larger bandwidth than traditional circuits. These circuits are then compared in terms of their noise and dynamic range characteristics. A test circuit was developed to verify these different bandwidth behaviors
Collider Detection of Dark Matter Electromagnetic Anapole Moments
Dark matter that interacts with the Standard Model by exchanging photons
through higher multipole interactions occurs in a wide range of both strongly
as well as weakly coupled hidden sector models. We study the collider detection
prospects of these candidates, with a focus on Majorana dark matter that
couples through the anapole moment. The study is conducted at the effective
field theory level with the mono- signature incorporating varying levels of
systematic uncertainties at the high-luminosity LHC. The projected collider
reach on the anapole moment is then compared to the reach coming from direct
detection experiments like LZ. Finally, the analysis is applied to a weakly
coupled completion with leptophilic dark matter.Comment: 24 pages, 9 figure
The Informativeness of Quarterly Financial Reporting: The Portuguese Case
With the Directive 2004/109/EC, of December 15, 2004 â Transparency Directive â, the European Union decided not to require listed companies to disclose financial information in the first and third quarters of each year. Each EU country now has to decide whether to oblige its companies to disclose this information. Using a sample of 1751 firm-earnings announcements between 1994 and 2004, this paper ascertains the informativeness of quarterly financial reporting in Portugal, one of the seven European countries where the disclosure of such information is currently compulsory in all quarters. Evidence suggests that the information of the first and third quarters, both in terms of price volatility and trading volume, is significant and not inferior to that of the remaining earnings announcements.Capital markets-based research; interim accounting disclosure; market reaction; market regulation
