Double vector meson production in the International Linear Collider
In this paper we study double vector meson production in
interactions at high energies and, using the color dipole picture, estimate the
main observables which can be probed at the International Linear Collider
(ILC). The total
cross-sections for , , and are computed
and the energy and virtuality dependencies are studied in detail. Our results
demonstrate that the experimental analysis of this process is feasible at the
ILC and it can be useful to constrain the QCD dynamics at high energies.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figure
Deductive Verification of Unmodified Linux Kernel Library Functions
This paper presents results from the development and evaluation of a
deductive verification benchmark consisting of 26 unmodified Linux kernel
library functions implementing conventional memory and string operations. The
formal contract of the functions was extracted from their source code and was
represented in the form of preconditions and postconditions. The correctness of
23 functions was completely proved using AstraVer toolset, although success for
11 functions was achieved using 2 new specification language constructs.
Another 2 functions were proved after a minor modification of their source
code, while the final one cannot be completely proved using the existing memory
model. The benchmark can be used for the testing and evaluation of deductive
verification tools and as a starting point for verifying other parts of the
Linux kernel.Comment: 18 pages, 2 tables, 6 listings. Accepted to ISoLA 2018 conference.

Magnetic phases evolution in the LaMn1-xFexO3+y system
We have investigated the crystal structure and magnetic properties for
polycrystalline samples of LaMn1-xFexO3+y, in the whole range x=0.0 to x=1.0,
prepared by solid state reaction in air. All samples show the ORT-2
orthorhombic structure that suppresses the Jahn-Teller distortion, thus
favoring a ferromagnetic (FM) superexchange (SE) interaction between
Mn^{3+}-O-Mn^{3+}. For x=0.0 the oxygen excess (y ~ 0.09) produces vacancies in
the La and Mn sites and generates a fraction around 18% of Mn^{4+} ions and 82%
of the usual Mn^{3+} ions, with possible double exchange interaction between
them. The Fe doping in this system is known to produce only stable Fe^{3+}
ions. We find an evolution from a fairly strong FM phase with a Curie
temperature T_{C} ~ 160 K, for x=0.0, to an antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase with
T_{N} = 790 K, for x=1.0, accompanied by clear signatures of a cluster-glass
behavior. For intermediate Fe contents a mixed-phase state occurs, with a
gradual decrease (increase) of the FM (AFM) phase, accompanied by a systematic
transition broadening for 0.2 < x < 0.7. A model based on the expected exchange
interaction among the various magnetic-ion types, accounts very well for the
saturation-magnetization dependence on Fe doping.Comment: 27 pages, 9 figure
