Low-energy quenching of positronium by helium
Very low-energy scattering of orthopositronium by helium has been
investigated for simultaneous study of elastic cross section and pick-off
quenching rate using a model exchange potential. The present calculational
scheme, while agrees with the measured cross section of Skalsey et al,
reproduces successfully the parameter ^ 1Z_{\makebox{eff}}, the effective
number of electrons per atom in a singlet state relative to the positron.
Together with the fact that this model potential also leads to an agreement
with measured medium energy cross sections of this system, this study seems to
resolve the long-standing discrepancy at low energies among different
theoretical calculations and experimental measurements.Comment: 4 latex pages, 3 postscript figure
Sensing Models and Its Impact on Network Coverage in Wireless Sensor Network
Network coverage of wireless sensor network (WSN) means how well an area of
interest is being monitored by the deployed network. It depends mainly on
sensing model of nodes. In this paper, we present three types of sensing models
viz. Boolean sensing model, shadow-fading sensing model and Elfes sensing
model. We investigate the impact of sensing models on network coverage. We also
investigate network coverage based on Poisson node distribution. A comparative
study between regular and random node placement has also been presented in this
paper. This study will be useful for coverage analysis of WSN.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, IEEE Region 10 Colloquium and the Third ICIIS,

Production of J/-Particles at RHIC and LHC energies: An Alternative `Psi'-chology
We attempt here to understand successfully some crucial aspects of
-production in some high energy nuclear collisions in the light of a
non-standard framework outlined in the text. It is found that the results
arrived at with this main working approach here is fairly in good agreement
with both the measured data and the results obtained on the basis of some other
models of the `standard' variety. Impact and implications of this comparative
study have also been precisely highlighted in the end.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures, to appear in Open Journal of Microphysics. arXiv
