Effective restoration of chiral and axial symmetries at finite temperature and density
The effective restoration of chiral and axial symmetries is investigated
within the framework of the SU(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The topological
susceptibility, modeled from lattice data at finite temperature, is used to
extract the temperature dependence of the coupling strength of the anomaly. The
study of the scalar and pseudoscalar mixing angles is performed in order to
discuss the evolution of the flavor combinations of pairs and its
consequences for the degeneracy of chiral partners. A similar study at zero
temperature and finite density is also realized.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure. Talk given at Strange Quark Matter 2004, Cape

Multiple energetic injections in a strong spike-like solar burst
An intense and fast spike-like solar burst was built up of short time scale structures superimposed on an underlying gradual emission, the time evolution of which shows remarkable proportionality between hard X-ray and microwave fluxes. The finer time structure were best defined at mm-microwaves. At the peak of the event, the finer structures repeat every 30x60ms. The more slowly varying component with a time scale of about 1 second was identified in microwave hard X-rays throughout the burst duration. It is suggested that X-ray fluxes might also be proportional to the repetition rate of basic units of energy injection (quasi-quantized). The relevant parameters of one primary energy release site are estimated both in the case where hard X-rays are produced primarily by thick-target bremsstrahlung, and when they are purely thermal. The relation of this figure to global energy considerations is discussed
On the definition of Quantum Free Particle on Curved Manifolds
A selfconsistent definition of quantum free particle on a generic curved
manifold emerges naturally by restricting the dynamics to submanifolds of
co-dimension one.

The Crab pulsar light curve in the soft gamma ray range: FIGARO II results
The FIGARO II experiment (a large area, balloon borne, crystal scintillator detector working from 0.15 to 4.3 MeV) observed the Crab pulsar on 1990 Jul. 9 for about seven hours. The study of the pulse profile confirms some structures detected with a low significance during the shorter observation of 1986, and adds new important elements to the picture. In particular, between the two main peaks, two secondary peaks appear centered at phase values 0.1 and 0.3, in the energy range 0.38 to 0.49 MeV; in the same energy range, a spectral feature at 0.44 MeV, interpreted as a redshifted positron annihilation line, was observed during the same balloon flight in the phase interval including the second main peak and the neighboring secondary peak. If the phase interval considered is extended to include also the other secondary peak, the significance of the spectral line appears to increase
Dielectric lens antennas
Dielectric lens antennas are attracting a renewed interest for millimeter- and submillimeter-wave applications where they become compact, especially for configurations with integrated feeds usually referred as integrated lens antennas. Lenses are very flexible and simple to design and fabricate, being a reliable alternative at these frequencies to reflector antennas. Lens target output can range from a simple collimated beam (increasing the feed directivity) to more complex multi-objective specifications. This chapter presents a review of different types of dielectric lens antennas and lens design methods. Representative lens antenna design examples are described in detail, with emphasis on homogeneous integrated lenses. A review of the different lens analysis methods is performed, followed by the discussion of relevant lens antenna implementation issues like feeding options, dielectric material characteristics, fabrication methods, and a few dedicated measurement techniques. The chapter ends with a detailed presentation of some recent application examples involving dielectric lens antennas
Wideband and high-selectivity dual-band filter for Ka-Band satellite antennas
A dual-band miniaturized Ka-band filter is presented, taking advantage of transmission in cut-off rectangular waveguides periodically loaded in the E-plane with Split-Ring Resonators (SRRs). High selectivity, wide bandwidth and high out-of-band rejection are achieved in a compact form factor. The use of SRRs in a waveguide configuration proves to be a valid and promising solution for the design of dual-band filters. The filter is specifically designed for Ka-band and a prototype was manufactured and its performance measured, providing a reasonably flat transmission at both 20 and 30 GHz sub-bands. For both bands the power roll-off rate is higher than 55 dB/decade, translating into a sharper than 10 dB drop per 0.2 GHz in a 38 × 6.6 × 4.5 mm3 device. The filter half-power bandwidth is B_20 = 1.1 GHz at 20 GHz (18.4 - 19.5 GHz) and B_30 = 1.2 GHz at 30 GHz (27.8 - 29.0 GHz).info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio
