One-electron spectral functions of the attractive Hubbard model at intermediate coupling
We calculate the one-electron spectral function of the attractive-U Hubbard
model in two dimensions. We work in the intermediate coupling and low density
regime and evaluate analytically the self-energy. The results are obtained in a
framework based on the self-consistent T-matrix approximation. We also
calculate the chemical potential of the bound pairs as a function of
temperature. On the basis of this calculation we analyze the low-temperature
resistivity and specific heat in the normal state of this system. We compare
our results with recent beautiful tunneling experiments in the underdoped
regime of HTSC-materials.Comment: 2 pages, LT22 Conference paper, phbauth and elsart style files

The Infrared Nucleus of the Wolf-Rayet Galaxy Henize 2-10
We have obtained near-infrared images and mid-infrared spectra of the
starburst core of the dwarf Wolf-Rayet galaxy He 2-10. We find that the
infrared continuum and emission lines are concentrated in a flattened ellipse
3-4'' or 150 pc across which may show where a recent accretion event has
triggered intense star formation. The ionizing radiation from this cluster has
an effective temperature of 40,000 K, corresponding to stars, and
the starburst is years old.Comment: 17 pages Latex, 7 postscript figures, 1 postscript table, accepted to

Spin lifetimes and strain-controlled spin precession of drifting electrons in zinc blende type semiconductors
We study the transport of spin polarized electrons in n-GaAs using spatially
resolved continuous wave Faraday rotation. From the measured steady state
distribution, we determine spin relaxation times under drift conditions and, in
the presence of strain, the induced spin splitting from the observed spin
precession. Controlled variation of strain along [110] allows us to deduce the
deformation potential causing this effect, while strain along [100] has no
effect. The electric field dependence of the spin lifetime is explained
quantitatively in terms of an increase of the electron temperature.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
Experimental determination of cosmic ray charged particle intensity profiles in the atmosphere
Absolute cosmic-ray free air ionization and charged particle fluxes and dose rates throughout the atmosphere were measured on a series of balloon flights that commenced in 1968. Argon-filled ionization chambers equipped with solid-state electrometers, with different gas pressures and steel wall thicknesses, and a pair of aluminum-wall Gm counters have provided the basic data. These data are supplemented by measurements with air-filled and tissue equivalent ionization chambers and a scintillation spectrometer. Laboratory experiments together with analyses of the theoretical aspects of the detector responses to cosmic radiation indicate that these profiles can be determined to an overall accuracy of + or - 5 percent
R116C mutation of cationic trypsinogen in a Turkish family with recurrent pancreatitis illustrates genetic microheterogeneity of hereditary pancreatitis
Hereditary pancreatitis is due to heterozygosity for gain-of-function mutations in the cationic trypsinogen gene which result in increased levels of active trypsin within pancreatic acinar cells and autodigestion of the pancreas. The number of disease-causing defects is generally considered to be low. To gain further insight into the molecular basis of this disorder, DNA sequence analysis of all five exons was performed in 109 unrelated patients with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis in order to determine the variability of the underlying mutations. Two German females and one German male were carriers of the most common N291 and R122H mutations (trypsinogen numbering system). In a Turkish proband, an arginine (CGT) to cysteine (TGT) substitution at amino acid position 116 was identified. Family screening demonstrated that the patient had inherited the mutation from his asymptomatic father and that he had transmitted it to both of his children, his daughter being symptomatic since the age of 3 years. In addition, a German male was found to be a heterozygote for a D100H (GAC-->CAC) amino acid replacement. Our data provide evidence for genetic heterogeneity of hereditary pancreatitis. The growing number of cationic trypsinogen mutations is expected to change current mutation screening practices for this disease
Simulations of the Galaxy Cluster CIZA J2242.8+5301 I: Thermal Model and Shock Properties
The giant radio relic in CIZA J2242.8+5301 is likely evidence of a Mpc sized
shock in a massive merging galaxy cluster. However, the exact shock properties
are still not clearly determined. In particular, the Mach number derived from
the integrated radio spectrum exceeds the Mach number derived from the X-ray
temperature jump by a factor of two. We present here a numerical study, aiming
for a model that is consistent with the majority of observations of this galaxy
cluster. We first show that in the northern shock upstream X-ray temperature
and radio data are consistent with each other. We then derive progenitor masses
for the system using standard density profiles, X-ray properties and the
assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium. We find a class of models that is
roughly consistent with weak lensing data, radio data and some of the X-ray
data. Assuming a cool-core versus non-cool-core merger, we find a fiducial
model with a total mass of , a mass ratio of 1.76
and a Mach number that is consistent with estimates from the radio spectrum. We
are not able to match X-ray derived Mach numbers, because even low mass models
over-predict the X-ray derived shock speeds. We argue that deep X-ray
observations of CIZA J2242.8+5301 will be able to test our model and
potentially reconcile X-ray and radio derived Mach numbers in relics.Comment: 19 pages, 19 figure
Near-infrared spectropolarimetry of a delta-spot
Sunspots harboring umbrae of both magnetic polarities within a common
penumbra (delta-spots) are often but not always related to flares. We present
first near-infrared (NIR) observations (Fe I 1078.3 nm and Si I 1078.6 nm
spectra) obtained with the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter (TIP) at the Vacuum
Tower Telescope (VTT) in Tenerife on 2012 June 17, which afford accurate and
sensitive diagnostics to scrutinize the complex fields along the magnetic
neutral line of a delta-spot within active region NOAA 11504. We examine the
vector magnetic field, line-of-sight (LOS) velocities, and horizontal proper
motions of this rather inactive delta-spot. We find a smooth transition of the
magnetic vector field from the main umbra to that of opposite polarity
(delta-umbra), but a discontinuity of the horizontal magnetic field at some
distance from the delta-umbra on the polarity inversion line. The magnetic
field decreases faster with height by a factor of two above the delta-umbra.
The latter is surrounded by its own Evershed flow. The Evershed flow coming
from the main umbra ends at a line dividing the spot into two parts. This line
is marked by the occurrence of central emission in the Ca II 854.2 nm line.
Along this line, high chromospheric LOS-velocities of both signs appear. We
detect a shear flow within the horizontal flux transport velocities parallel to
the dividing line.Comment: 4 pages, will appear as Letter in Astronomy & Astrophysic
