Cluster Spin Glass Distribution Functions in La2−x_{2-x}Srx_xCuO4_4

Signatures of the cluster spin glass have been found in a variety of experiments, with an effective onset temperature $T_{on}$ that is frequency dependent. We reanalyze the experimental results and find that they are characterized by a distribution of activation energies, with a nonzero glass transition temperature $T_g(x)<T_{on}$. While the distribution of activation energies is the same, the distribution of weights depends on the process. Remarkably, the weights are essentially doping independent.Comment: 5 pages, 5 ps figure

A Discussion on Dirac Field Theory, No-Go Theorems and Renormalizability

We study Dirac field equations coupled to electrodynamics with metric and torsion fields: we discuss how special spinorial solutions are incompatible with torsion; eventually these results will be used to sketch a discussion on the problem of renormalizability of point-like particles.Comment: 10 page

Quantum mass corrections for affine Toda solitons

We calculate the first quantum corrections to the masses of solitons in imaginary-coupling affine Toda theories using the semi-classical method of Dashen, Hasslacher and Neveu. The theories divide naturally into those based on the simply-laced, the twisted and the untwisted non-simply-laced algebras. We find that the classical relationships between soliton and particle masses found by Olive {\em et al.\ }persist for the first two classes, but do not appear to do so naively for the third.Comment: 39pp, .uu compressed dvifile.

Brane cosmology with curvature corrections

We study the cosmology of the Randall-Sundrum brane-world where the Einstein-Hilbert action is modified by curvature correction terms: a four-dimensional scalar curvature from induced gravity on the brane, and a five-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet curvature term. The combined effect of these curvature corrections to the action removes the infinite-density big bang singularity, although the curvature can still diverge for some parameter values. A radiation brane undergoes accelerated expansion near the minimal scale factor, for a range of parameters. This acceleration is driven by the geometric effects, without an inflaton field or negative pressures. At late times, conventional cosmology is recovered.Comment: RevTex4, 8 pages, no figures, minor change

Search for lepton-flavor-violating τ→ℓV0\tau\to\ell V^0 decays at Belle

We have searched for neutrinoless $\tau$ lepton decays into $\ell$ and $V^0$, where $\ell$ stands for an electron or muon, and $V^0$ for a vector meson ($\phi$, $\omega$, $K^{*0}$, $\bar{K}^{*0}$ or $\rho^0$), using 543 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. No excess of signal events over the expected background has been observed, and we set upper limits on the branching fractions in the range $(5.9-18) \times 10^{-8}$ at the 90% confidence level. These upper limits include the first results for the $\ell \omega$ mode as well as new limits that are significantly more restrictive than our previous results for the $\ell \phi$, $\ell K^{*0}$, $\ell \bar{K}^{*0}$ and $\ell \rho^0$ modes.Comment: 7 pages, 16 figure

Measurement of the ratio B(D0->pi+pi-pi0)/B(D0->K-pi+pi0) and the time-integrated CP asymmetry in D0->pi+pi-pi0

We report a high-statistics measurement of the relative branching fraction B(D0->pi+pi-pi0)/B(D0->K-pi+pi0) using a 532 fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. The measured value of the relative branching fraction is B(D0->pi+pi-pi0)/B(D0->K-pi+pi0) = (10.12 +/- 0.04(stat) +/- 0.18(syst))x10^{-2} which has an accuracy comparable to the world average. We also present a measurement of the time-integrated CP asymmetry in D0->pi+pi-pi0 decay. The result, A_{CP} = (0.43 +/- 1.30)%, shows no significant CP violation.Comment: 15 pages, 11 figures, submitted to Physics Letters

Search for B -> h(*) nu nubar Decays at Belle

We present a search for the rare decays B -> h(*) nu nubar, where h(*) stands for a light meson. A data sample of 535 million BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider is used. Signal candidates are required to have an accompanying B meson fully reconstructed in a hadronic mode and signal-side particles consistent with a single h(*) meson. No significant signal is observed and we set upper limits on the branching fractions at 90% confidence level. The limits on B0 -> K*0 nu nubar and B+ -> K+ nu nubar decays are more stringent than the previous constraints, while the first searches for B0 -> K0 nu nubar, pi0 nu nubar, rho0 nu nubar, phi nu nubar and B+ -> K*+ nu nubar, rho+ nu nubar are reported.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, submit to PR

Análisis de co-palabras aplicado a los artículos muy citados en Biblioteconomía y Ciencias de la Información (2007-2017)

Se identifican las relaciones entre los conceptos y las áreas temáticas principales dentro de la categoría Biblioteconomía y Ciencias de la Información de Web of Science, en el periodo 2007-2017, utilizando la herramienta analítica “Essential Science Indicators”. Partiendo de los artículos altamente citados, la metodología consistió en la aplicación de análisis de co-palabras así como técnicas estadísticas de análisis multivariante y visualización a través de un mapa de la ciencia. Los resultados principales mostraron que las áreas de mayor interés para los investigadores fueron los estudios sobre la Web 2.0 basados en la participación colaborativa de los usuarios, la evaluación de las actividades científica, las métricas alternativas, o Altmetrics, desarrolladas en las plataformas sociales y académicas, la seguridad y confianza en los entornos virtuales y, por último, la aplicación de plataformas digitales en el comercio electrónicoThis paper aims to identify the conceptual structure in the category Library and Information Sciences in the Web of Science, in the period 2007-2017, using the analytical tool Essential Science Indicators.

Search for the standard model Higgs boson in tau final states

We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson using hadronically decaying tau leptons, in 1 inverse femtobarn of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron ppbar collider. We select two final states: tau plus missing transverse energy and b jets, and tau+ tau- plus jets. These final states are sensitive to a combination of associated W/Z boson plus Higgs boson, vector boson fusion and gluon-gluon fusion production processes. The observed ratio of the combined limit on the Higgs production cross section at the 95% C.L. to the standard model expectation is 29 for a Higgs boson mass of 115 GeV.Comment: publication versio
