Phenomenology of the polarized cross-sections of the rho meson leptoproduction at high energy
We present a model for the polarized cross-sections of the hard diffractive
leptoproduction of rho meson in the high energy limit. Our model is based on
the light-cone collinear factorization of the virtual photon to rho meson
impact factor when using the impact factor representation of the helicity
amplitudes of the rho meson leptoproduction. This gauge invariant treatment
when expressed in impact parameter space, leads to the factorization on one
hand of the color dipole scattering amplitude and on the other hand of the
distribution amplitudes of the rho meson up to twist 2 and 3. We show that the
results of this approach are in good agreement with HERA data for virtualities
above ~5 GeV^2.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, proceedings of Photon 2013, May 20 - 24 2013,

New string vacua from twistor spaces
We find a new family of AdS_4 vacua in IIA string theory. The internal space
is topologically either the complex projective space CP^3 or the "flag
manifold" SU(3)/(U(1)xU(1)), but the metric is in general neither Einstein nor
Kaehler. All known moduli are stabilized by fluxes, without using quantum
effects or orientifold planes. The analysis is completely ten--dimensional and
does not rely on assumptions about Kaluza--Klein reduction.Comment: 19 pages. v3: published version, further minor correction
Stochastic and deterministic models for age-structured populations with genetically variable traits
Understanding how stochastic and non-linear deterministic processes interact
is a major challenge in population dynamics theory. After a short review, we
introduce a stochastic individual-centered particle model to describe the
evolution in continuous time of a population with (continuous) age and trait
structures. The individuals reproduce asexually, age, interact and die. The
'trait' is an individual heritable property (d-dimensional vector) that may
influence birth and death rates and interactions between individuals, and vary
by mutation. In a large population limit, the random process converges to the
solution of a Gurtin-McCamy type PDE. We show that the random model has a long
time behavior that differs from its deterministic limit. However, the results
on the limiting PDE and large deviation techniques \textit{\`a la}
Freidlin-Wentzell provide estimates of the extinction time and a better
understanding of the long time behavior of the stochastic process. This has
applications to the theory of adaptive dynamics used in evolutionary biology.
We present simulations for two biological problems involving life-history trait
evolution when body size is plastic and individual growth is taken into
account.Comment: This work is a proceeding of the CANUM 2008 conferenc
A numerical approach for modelling thin cracked plates with XFEM
The modelization of bending plates with through the thickness cracks is investigated. We consider the Kirchhoff-Love plate model which is valid for very thin plates. We apply the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) strategy: enrichment of the finite element space with the asymptotic bending and with the discontinuity across the crack. We present two variants and their numerical validations and also a numerical computation of the stress intensity factors
High Energy exclusive Leptoproduction of the rho-meson: Theory and Phenomenology
We describe the hard leptoproduction of transversally polarized rho-meson, up
to twist 3 accuracy, including 2- and 3- particles Fock-states, in the HERA
kinematics of high center-of-mass energy. We first build a model based on a
simple approach to the unintegrated gluon density (the parton impact factor)
that we compare with H1 and ZEUS data for the ratios of helicity amplitudes
T(gamma*T -> rhoT)/T(gamma*L -> rhoL) and T(gamma*T -> rhoL)/T(gamma*L -> rhoL)
and get a good description of the data. We also show how saturation effects can
be included in this model by extending the dipole representation of the
scattering amplitude in coordinate space up to twist 3.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to appear in the proceedings of 20th

Theory and phenomenology of helicity amplitudes for high energy exclusive leptoproduction of the rho-meson
We review here two approaches to describe hard leptoproduction of
transversally polarized rho-meson, based on recent calculation of the gamma*T
-> rhoT impact factor up to twist 3 accuracy in the collinear factorization
frame, including 2- and 3- particles Fock-states. The first approach uses a
model of the unintegrated gluon density (the proton impact factor) which allows
a comparison of our predictions with H1 and ZEUS data for the ratios of
helicity amplitudes T(gamma*T -> rhoT)/T(gamma*L -> rhoL) and T(gamma*T ->
rhoL)/T(gamma*L -> rhoL). In the second approach, we transform the gamma*T ->
rhoT impact factor into the impact parameter space. We show that the
transformed amplitude factorizes according to conventional dipole picture. We
shortly discuss a way to implement the nucleon saturation effects in our
approach.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of 6th International

A phenomenological study of helicity amplitudes of high energy exclusive leptoproduction of the rho meson
We apply a previously developed scheme to consistently include the twist-3
distribution amplitudes for transversely polarized rho meson in order to
evaluate, in the framework of kT factorization, the helicity amplitudes for
exclusive leptoproduction of a light vector meson, at leading order in alphaS.
We compare our results with high energy experimental data for the ratios of
helicity amplitudes T11/T00 and T01/T00 and get a good description of the data.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figures, published version in PR
