Helical tape forming device
Using a device that is not limited to a minimum thickness or width-to-thickness ratio, a very thin metal tape or ribbon is formed into a continuous flat wound helical coil. The device imparts the desired circular shape by squeeze rolling it with an unequal force across its width

The Orbital Structure of Dark Matter Halos with Gas
With the success of the Chandra and XMM missions and the maturation of
gravitational lensing techniques, powerful constraints on the orbital structure
of cluster dark matter halos are possible. I show that the X-ray emissivity and
mass of a galaxy cluster uniquely specify the anisotropy and velocity
dispersion profiles of its dark matter halo. I consider hydrostatic as well as
cooling flow scenarios, and apply the formalism to the lensing cluster
CL0024+16 and the cooling flow cluster Abell 2199. In both cases, the model
predicts a parameter-free velocity dispersion profile that is consistent with
independent optical redshift surveys of the clusters.Comment: 17 pages, 12 figures; to appear in the Astrophysical Journa
Majorana spinors and extended Lorentz symmetry in four-dimensional theory
An extended local Lorentz symmetry in four-dimensional (4D) theory is
considered. A source of this symmetry is a group of general linear
transformations of four-component Majorana spinors GL(4,M) which is isomorphic
to GL(4,R) and is the covering of an extended Lorentz group in a 6D Minkowski
space M(3,3) including superluminal and scaling transformations. Physical
space-time is assumed to be a 4D pseudo-Riemannian manifold. To connect the
extended Lorentz symmetry in the M(3,3) space with the physical space-time, a
fiber bundle over the 4D manifold is introduced with M(3,3) as a typical fiber.
The action is constructed which is invariant with respect to both general 4D
coordinate and local GL(4,M) spinor transformations. The components of the
metric on the 6D fiber are expressed in terms of the 4D pseudo-Riemannian
metric and two extra complex fields: 4D vector and scalar ones. These extra
fields describe in the general case massive particles interacting with an extra
U(1) gauge field and weakly interacting with ordinary particles, i.e.
possessing properties of invisible (dark) matter.Comment: 24 page

Vector meson photoproduction studied in its radiative decay channel
We provide an analysis of vector meson photoproduction in the channel of the
vector meson decaying into a pseudoscalar meson plus a photon, i.e. . It is shown that non-trivial kinematic correlations arise from the
measurement of the angular distributions in the overall c.m. system
in comparison with those in the vector-meson-rest frame. In terms of the vector
meson density matrix elements, the implication of such kinematic correlations
in the measurement of polarization observables is discussed. For the
meson production, due to its relatively large branching ratios for
, additional events from this channel may enrich the
information about the reaction mechanism and improve the statistics of the
recent measurement of polarized beam asymmetries by the GRAAL Collaboration.
For , , and , we expect
that additional information about the spin structure of the vector meson
production vertex can be derived.Comment: Revtex, 14 pages, 2 eps figures; Version accepted by PR
Radial Redshift Space Distortions
The radial component of the peculiar velocities of galaxies cause
displacements in their positions in redshift space. We study the effect of the
peculiar velocities on the linear redshift space two point correlation
function. Our analysis takes into account the radial nature of the redshift
space distortions and it highlights the limitations of the plane parallel
approximation. We consider the problem of determining the value of \beta and
the real space two point correlation function from the linear redshift space
two point correlation function. The inversion method proposed here takes into
account the radial nature of the redshift space distortions and can be applied
to magnitude limited redshift surveys that have only partial sky coverage.Comment: 26 pages including 11 figures, to appear in Ap
