Self dual models and mass generation in planar field theory
We analyse in three space-time dimensions, the connection between abelian
self dual vector doublets and their counterparts containing both an explicit
mass and a topological mass. Their correspondence is established in the
lagrangian formalism using an operator approach as well as a path integral
approach. A canonical hamiltonian analysis is presented, which also shows the
equivalence with the lagrangian formalism. The implications of our results for
bosonisation in three dimensions are discussed.Comment: 15 pages,Revtex, No figures; several changes; revised version to

Survival of orbiting in Ne (7 - 10 MeV/nucleon) + C reactions
The inclusive energy distributions of fragments with Z 3 emitted from
the bombardment of C by Ne beams with incident energies between
145 and 200 MeV have been measured in the angular range
10 - 50. Damped fragment yields in all cases have been found to
be characteristic of emission from fully energy equilibrated composites; for B,
C fragments, average Q-values, , were independent of the centre of mass
emission angle (), and the angular distributions followed
1/sin like variation, signifying long life times of the
emitting di-nuclear systems. Total yields of these fragments have been found to
be much larger compared to the standard statistical model predictions of the
same. This may be indicative of the survival of orbiting like process in
C + Ne system at these energies.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. C (Rapid

Effect of simultaneous application of field and pressure on magnetic transitions in LaCaMnO
We study combined effect of hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field on the
magnetization of LaCaMnO. We do not observe any
significant effect of pressure on the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition.
However, pressure asymmetrically affects the thermal hysteresis across the
ferro-antiferromagnetic first-order transition, which has strong field
dependence. Though the supercooling (T*) and superheating (T**) temperatures
decrease and the value of magnetization at 5K (M) increases with
pressure, T* and M shows abrupt changes in tiny pressure of 0.68kbar.
These anomalies enhance with field. In 7Tesla field, transition to
antiferromagnetic phase disappears in 0.68kbar and M show significant
increase. Thereafter, increase in pressure up to 10kbar has no noticeable
effect on the magnetization
Topological and Universal Aspects of Bosonized Interacting Fermionic Systems in (2+1)d
General results on the structure of the bosonization of fermionic systems in
d are obtained. In particular, the universal character of the bosonized
topological current is established and applied to generic fermionic current
interactions. The final form of the bosonized action is shown to be given by
the sum of two terms. The first one corresponds to the bosonization of the free
fermionic action and turns out to be cast in the form of a pure Chern-Simons
term, up to a suitable nonlinear field redefinition. We show that the second
term, following from the bosonization of the interactions, can be obtained by
simply replacing the fermionic current by the corresponding bosonized
expression.Comment: 29 pages, RevTe
Characterization of fragment emission in ^{20}Ne (7 - 10 MeV/nucleon) + ^{12}C reactions
The inclusive energy distributions of the complex fragments (3 Z
7) emitted from the bombardment of ^{12}C by ^{20}Ne beams with incident
energies between 145 and 200 MeV have been measured in the angular range
10 50^{o}. Damped fragment yields in all the cases
have been found to be the characteristic of emission from fully energy
equilibrated composites. The binary fragment yields are compared with the
standard statistical model predictions. Enhanced yields of entrance channel
fragments (5 Z 7) indicate the survival of orbiting-like process
in ^{20}Ne + ^{12}C system at these energies.Comment: 18 pages, 13 figure
Phase separation and the effect of quenched disorder in
The nature of phase separation in has been probed by
linear as well as nonlinear magnetic susceptibilities and resistivity
measurements across the 2nd order paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition
() and 1st order ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition (). We
found that the ferromagnetic (metallic) clusters, which form with the onset of
long-range order in the system at , continuously decrease their size with
the decrease in temperature and coexist with non-ferromagnetic (insulating)
clusters. These non-ferromagnetic clusters are identified to be
antiferromagnetic. Significantly, it is shown that they do not arise because of
the superheating effect of the lower temperature 1st order transition. Thus
reveals unique phase coexistence in a manganite around half-doping encompassing
two long-range order transitions. Both the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic
clusters form at and persist much below . Substitution of quenched
disorder (Ga) at Mn-site promotes antiferromagnetism at the cost of
ferromagnetism without adding any magnetic interaction or introducing any
significant lattice distortion. Moreover, increase in disorder decreases the
ferromagnetic cluster size and with 7.5% Ga substitution clusters size reduces
to the single domain limit. Yet, all the samples show significant short-range
ferromagnetic interaction much above . Resistivity measurements also
reveal the novel phase coexistence identified from the magnetic measurements.
It is significant that, increase in disorder up to 7.5% increases the
resistivity of the low temperature antiferromagnetic phase by about four
orders
TPCI: The PLUTO-CLOUDY Interface
We present an interface between the (magneto-) hydrodynamics code PLUTO and
the plasma simulation and spectral synthesis code CLOUDY. By combining these
codes, we constructed a new photoionization hydrodynamics solver: The
PLUTO-CLOUDY Interface (TPCI), which is well suited to simulate
photoevaporative flows under strong irradiation. The code includes the
electromagnetic spectrum from X-rays to the radio range and solves the
photoionization and chemical network of the 30 lightest elements. TPCI follows
an iterative numerical scheme: First, the equilibrium state of the medium is
solved for a given radiation field by CLOUDY, resulting in a net radiative
heating or cooling. In the second step, the latter influences the (magneto-)
hydrodynamic evolution calculated by PLUTO. Here, we validated the
one-dimensional version of the code on the basis of four test problems:
Photoevaporation of a cool hydrogen cloud, cooling of coronal plasma, formation
of a Stroemgren sphere, and the evaporating atmosphere of a hot Jupiter. This
combination of an equilibrium photoionization solver with a general MHD code
provides an advanced simulation tool applicable to a variety of astrophysical
problems.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publication in A&
