    Comparison of Canonical and Grand Canonical Models for selected multifragmentation data

    Get PDF
    Calculations for a set of nuclear multifragmentation data are made using a Canonical and a Grand Canonical Model. The physics assumptions are identical but the Canonical Model has an exact number of particles, whereas, the Grand Canonical Model has a varying number of particles, hence, is less exact. Interesting differences are found.Comment: 12 pages, Revtex, and 3 postscript figure

    Optimal renormalization and the extraction of the strange quark mass from moments of the τ\tau-decay spectral function

    Full text link
    We introduce an optimal renormalization group analysis pertinent to the analysis of polarization functions associated with the ss-quark mass relevant in τ\tau-decay. The technique is based on the renormalization group invariance constraints which lead to closed form summation of all the leading and next-to-leading logarithms at each order in perturbation theory. The new perturbation series exhibits reduced sensitivity to the renormalization scale and improved behavior in the complex plane along the integration contour. Using improved experimental and theory inputs, we have extracted the value of the strange quark mass ms(2GeV)=106.70±9.36 MeVm_s(2{\rm GeV}) = 106.70 \pm 9.36~{\rm MeV} and ms(2GeV)=74.47±7.77 MeVm_s(2{\rm GeV}) = 74.47 \pm 7.77~{\rm MeV} from presently available ALEPH and OPAL data respectively. These determinations are in agreement with the determinations in other phenomenological methods and from the lattice.Comment: 12 pages, 4 tables, 7 figures, v2 corresponds to version to appear in Physical Review

    Growth Elasticity of poverty in the globe

    This paper highlights the global economic prosperity and portrays the anatomy of poverty in developing countries. It analyses the incidence of rural and urban poverty persisting in fourteen countries including India. It address the contradiction of coexistence of poverty and hyper economic growth in the globe. It is found that the growth elasticity of poverty is very low in developing countries. It argues that economic growth process can be inclusive and sustainable only by curbing the process of marginalization, corruption and exploitationgrowth Elasticity, Poverty ,Asia, Europe
