Forward observables at RHIC, the Tevatron run II and the LHC
We present predictions on the total cross sections and on the ratio of the
real part to the imaginary part of the elastic amplitude (rho parameter) for
present and future pp and pbar p colliders, and on total cross sections for
gamma p -> hadrons at cosmic-ray energies and for gamma gamma -> hadrons up to
sqrt(s)=1 TeV.
These predictions are based on a study of many possible analytic
parametrisations and invoke the current hadronic dataset at t=0. The
uncertainties on total cross sections, including the systematic theoretical
errors, reach 1% at RHIC, 3% at the Tevatron, and 10% at the LHC, whereas those
on the rho parameter are respectively 10%, 17%, and 26%.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX, presented at the Second International

Effect of seed inoculation and foliar fertilizing on structure of soybean yield and yield structure in Western Polissya of Ukraine
Growing soybeans requires adjustment of micronutrient nutrition on poorly fertile
soils. Foliar fertilization can overcome the deficiency of micronutrients in plants in the most
important period. Three factorial field experiment to study foliar fertilization with complex
micronutrients, seed inoculation by Bradyrhizobium japonicum in two soybean varieties (Kassidy
and ES Mentor) was conducted. Foliar fertilization with Quantum oil and WUXAL Oilseed
significantly increased certain elements in soybean yield structure. Fertilizer WUXAL Oilseed
with a higher concentration of Mo, Mn and B more effectively increased the number of pods and
seeds from the plant and formed a higher yield in soybeans. Foliar fertilization with WUXAL
Oilseed and Quantum oil increased seed yield to 3.00 t ha-1
and 2.94 t ha-1
, respectively in regard
to variant without fertilizing, where yield was 2.71 t ha-1
. Variety Kassidy had greater number of
pods and seeds, seed weight in comparison to foliar fertilizing ES Mentor. Seed inoculation gaves
a stable increase in yield under different foliar fertilizations in varieties Kassidy and ES Mentor
On performance of thin-film meso-structured perovskite solar cell through experimental analysis and device simulation
In the last few years there is an unprecedented progress in the increase of
the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells. Evidently, further
advances of the efficiency of these devices will depend on the constraints
imposed by the optical and electronic properties of their constituents. Quite
apparently that during the manufacturing process of a solar cell, there is an
inevitable variation in the thicknesses of various functional layers, which
affects the optoelectronic characteristics of the final sample. In this work a
possible strategy of the analysis of the solar cell performance is suggested,
based on statistically averaging procedure of experimental data. We present a
case study, in which the optoelectronic properties of the meso-structured
perovskite solar cell (with a mesoporous TiO layer) are analysed within the
method providing a deeper understanding of the device operation. This method
enables an assessment of the overall quality of the device, pointing pathways
towards the maximum efficiency design of a perovskite solar cell by material
properties tuning.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure
Photoproduction of vector mesons in the Soft Dipole Pomeron model
Exclusive photoproduction of all vector mesons by real and virtual photons is
considered in the Soft Dipole Pomeron model. It is emphasized that being the
Pomeron in this model a double Regge pole with intercept equal to one, we are
led to rising cross-sections but the unitarity bounds are not violated. It is
shown that all available data for rho, omega, phi, J/psi and Upsilon in the
region of energies 1.7 <= W <= 250 GeV and photon virtualities 0 <= Q^2 <= 35
GeV^2, including the differential cross-sections in the region of transfer
momenta 0 <= |t| <= 1.6 GeV^2, are well described by the model.Comment: 17 pages, 19 figure
Benchmarks for the Forward Observables at RHIC, the Tevatron-run II and the LHC
We present predictions on the total cross sections and on the ratio of the
real part to the imaginary part of the elastic amplitude (rho parameter) for
present and future pp and pbar p colliders, and on total cross sections for
gamma p -> hadrons at cosmic-ray energies and for gamma gamma-> hadrons up to
sqrt{s}=1 TeV. These predictions are based on an extensive study of possible
analytic parametrisations invoking the biggest hadronic dataset available at
t=0. The uncertainties on total cross sections, including the systematic errors
due to contradictory data points from FNAL, can reach 1.9% at RHIC, 3.1% at the
Tevatron, and 4.8% at the LHC, whereas those on the rho parameter are
respectively 5.4%, 5.2%, and 5.4%.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, 4 tables, RevTeX
The soft and the hard pomerons in hadron elastic scattering at small t
We consider simple-pole descriptions of soft elastic scattering for pp, pbar
p, pi+ p, pi- p, K+ p and K- p. We work at t and s small enough for
rescatterings to be neglected, and allow for the presence of a hard pomeron.
After building and discussing an exhaustive dataset, we show that simple poles
provide an excellent description of the data in the region - 0.5 GeV^2 < t <
-0.1 GeV^2, 6 GeV<sqrt(s)< 63 GeV. We show that new form factors have to be
used, and get information on the trajectories of the soft and hard pomerons.Comment: 27 pages, 9 figures, LaTeX. A few typos fixed, and references

On the rise of proton-proton cross-sections at high energies
The rise of the total, elastic and inelastic hadronic cross sections at high
energies is investigated by means of an analytical parametrization, with the
exponent of the leading logarithm contribution as a free fit parameter. Using
derivative dispersion relations with one subtraction, two different fits to
proton-proton and antiproton-proton total cross section and rho parameter data
are developed, reproducing well the experimental information in the energy
region 5 GeV - 7 TeV. The parametrization for the total cross sections is then
extended to fit the elastic (integrated) cross section data in the same energy
region, with satisfactory results. From these empirical results we extract the
energy dependence of several physical quantities: inelastic cross section,
ratios elastic/total, inelastic/total cross sections, ratio
total-cross-section/elastic-slope, elastic slope and optical point. All data,
fitted and predicted, are quite well described. We find a statistically
consistent solution indicating: (1) an increase of the hadronic cross sections
with the energy faster than the log-squared bound by Froissart and Martin; (2)
asymptotic limits 1/3 and 2/3 for the ratios elastic/total and inelastic/total
cross sections, respectively, a result in agreement with unitarity. These
indications corroborate recent theoretical arguments by Ya. I. Azimov on the
rise of the total cross section.Comment: 35 pages, 12 figures, discussions improved with further

Phase diagram of superfluid 3He in "nematically ordered" aerogel
Results of experiments with liquid 3He immersed in a new type of aerogel are
described. This aerogel consists of Al2O3 strands which are nearly parallel to
each other, so we call it as a "nematically ordered" aerogel. At all used
pressures a superfluid transition was observed and a superfluid phase diagram
was measured. Possible structures of the observed superfluid phases are
discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figures. Submitted to Pis'ma v ZhETF (JETP Letters
