Magnetic and the magnetocaloric properties of Ce1-xRxFe2 and Ce(Fe1-xMx)2 compounds
We have studied selected rare earth doped and transition metal doped CeFe2
compounds by examining their structural, magnetic and magneto-thermal
properties. With substitution of Ce by 5 and 10% Gd and 10% Ho, the Curie
temperature can be tuned to the range of 267-318 K. Localization of Ce 4f
electronic state with rare earth substitutions is attributed for the
enhancement of Curie temperature. On the other hand, with Ga and Al
substitution at the Fe site, system undergoes paramagnetic to ferromagnetic
transition and then to an antiferromagnetic phase on cooling. The
magnetocaloric effect across the transitions has been studied from both
magnetization isotherms and heat capacity data. It is shown that by choosing
the appropriate dopant and its concentration, the magnetocaloric effect around
room temperature can be tuned.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures, 2 table
The LHC (CMS) Discovery Potential for Models with Effective Supersymmetry and Nonuniversal Gaugino Masses
We investigate squark and gluino pair production at LHC (CMS) with subsequent
decays into quarks, leptons and LSP in models with effective supersymmetry
where third generation of squarks is relatively light while the first two
generations of squarks are heavy. We consider the general case of nonuniversal
gaugino masses. Visibility of signal by an excess over SM background in (n \geq
2)jets + (m \geq 0)leptons + E^{miss}_T events depends rather strongly on the
relation between LSP, second neutralino, gluino and squark masses and it
decreases with the increase of LSP mass. We find that for relatively heavy
gluino it is very difficult to detect SUSY signal even for light 3^{rd}
generation squarks (m_{\tilde q_3}\le 1 TeV) if the LSP mass is closed to the
3^{rd} generation squark mass.Comment: 1 latex (35 pages), 4 eps (figures) file
Fermi surface of the chiral topological semimetal PtGa
PtGa is a topological semimetal with giant spin-split Fermi arcs. Here, we report on angular-dependent de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) measurements combined with band-structure calculations to elucidate the details of the bulk Fermi surface of PtGa. The strong spin-orbit coupling leads to eight bands crossing the Fermi energy that form a multitude of Fermi surfaces with closed extremal orbits and results in very rich dHvA spectra. The large number of experimentally observed dHvA frequencies make the assignment to the equally large number of calculated dHvA orbits challenging. Nevertheless, we find consistency between experiment and calculations verifying the topological character with maximal Chern number of the spin-split Fermi surface
Density Evolution in the New Modified Chaplygin Gas Model
In this paper, we have considered new modified Chaplygin gas (NMCG) model
which interpolates between radiation at early stage and CDM at late
stage. This model is regarded as a unification of dark energy and dark matter
(with general form of matter). We have derived the density parameters from the
equation of motion for the interaction between dark energy and dark matter.
Also we have studied the evolution of the various components of density
parameters.Comment: 6 Latex pages, 4 figures, RevTex styl
Interaction between Tachyon and Hessence (or Hantom) dark energies
In this paper, we have considered that the universe is filled with tachyon,
hessence (or hantom) dark energies. Subsequently we have investigated the
interactions between tachyon and hessence (hantom) dark energies and calculated
the potentials considering the power law form of the scale factor. It has been
revealed that the tachyonic potential always decreases and hessence (or hantom)
potential increases with corresponding fields. Furthermore, we have considered
a correspondence between the hessence (or hantom) dark energy density and new
variable modified Chaplygin gas energy density. From this, we have found the
expressions of the arbitrary positive constants B0 and C of new variable
modified Chaplygin gas
Artificial Neural Network to predict mean monthly total ozone in Arosa, Switzerland
Present study deals with the mean monthly total ozone time series over Arosa,
Switzerland. The study period is 1932-1971. First of all, the total ozone time
series has been identified as a complex system and then Artificial Neural
Networks models in the form of Multilayer Perceptron with back propagation
learning have been developed. The models are Single-hidden-layer and
Two-hidden-layer Perceptrons with sigmoid activation function. After sequential
learning with learning rate 0.9 the peak total ozone period (February-May)
concentrations of mean monthly total ozone have been predicted by the two
neural net models. After training and validation, both of the models are found
skillful. But, Two-hidden-layer Perceptron is found to be more adroit in
predicting the mean monthly total ozone concentrations over the aforesaid
period.Comment: 22 pages, 14 figure
Real Time Global Tests of the ALICE High Level Trigger Data Transport Framework
The High Level Trigger (HLT) system of the ALICE experiment is an online
event filter and trigger system designed for input bandwidths of up to 25 GB/s
at event rates of up to 1 kHz. The system is designed as a scalable PC cluster,
implementing several hundred nodes. The transport of data in the system is
handled by an object-oriented data flow framework operating on the basis of the
publisher-subscriber principle, being designed fully pipelined with lowest
processing overhead and communication latency in the cluster. In this paper, we
report the latest measurements where this framework has been operated on five
different sites over a global north-south link extending more than 10,000 km,
processing a ``real-time'' data flow.Comment: 8 pages 4 figure
Hidden dimers and the matrix maps: Fibonacci chains re-visited
The existence of cycles of the matrix maps in Fibonacci class of lattices is
well established. We show that such cycles are intimately connected with the
presence of interesting positional correlations among the constituent `atoms'
in a one dimensional quasiperiodic lattice. We particularly address the
transfer model of the classic golden mean Fibonacci chain where a six cycle of
the full matrix map exists at the centre of the spectrum [Kohmoto et al, Phys.
Rev. B 35, 1020 (1987)], and for which no simple physical picture has so far
been provided, to the best of our knowledge. In addition, we show that our
prescription leads to a determination of other energy values for a mixed model
of the Fibonacci chain, for which the full matrix map may have similar cyclic
behaviour. Apart from the standard transfer-model of a golden mean Fibonacci
chain, we address a variant of it and the silver mean lattice, where the
existence of four cycles of the matrix map is already known to exist. The
underlying positional correlations for all such cases are discussed in details.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures. Submitted to Physical Review
Interacting Ricci Dark Energy and its Statefinder Description
In this paper we have considered an interacting Ricci dark energy in flat FRW
universe. We have reconstructed the Hubble's parameter under this interaction.
Also, we have investigated the statefinder diagnostics. It has been revealed
that the equation of state parameter behaves like quintessence in this
interaction and from the statefinder diagnostics it has been concluded that the
interacting Ricci dark energy interpolates between dust and CDM stages
of the universe.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
