Three pseudoscalar meson production in annihilation
We study, at leading order in the large number of colours expansion and
within the Resonance Chiral Theory framework, the odd-intrinsic-parity cross-sections in the energy regime
populated by hadron resonances, namely 3 \, m_{\pi} \lsim E \lsim 2 \,
\mbox{GeV}. In addition we implement our results in the Monte Carlo generator
PHOKHARA 7.0 and we simulate hadron production through the radiative return
method.Comment: 39 pages, 5 figure
Diffusion Effects on the Breakdown of a Linear Amplifier Model Driven by the Square of a Gaussian Field
We investigate solutions to the equation , where is a Gaussian stochastic field
with covariance , and . It is shown that the
coupling at which the -th moment
diverges at time $t$, is always less or equal for ${\cal D}>0$ than for ${\cal
D}=0$. Equality holds under some reasonable assumptions on $C$ and, in this
case, $\lambda_{cN}(t)=N\lambda_c(t)$ where $\lambda_c(t)$ is the value of
$\lambda$ at which diverges.
The case is solved for a class of . The dependence of
on is analyzed. Similar behavior is conjectured when
diffusion is replaced by diffraction, , the case of
interest for backscattering instabilities in laser-plasma interaction.Comment: 19 pages, in LaTeX, e-mail addresses: [email protected],

Doping evoluton of antiferromagnetic order and structural distortion in LaFeAsOF
We use neutron scattering to study the structural distortion and
antiferromagnetic (AFM) order in LaFeAsOF as the system is doped
with fluorine (F) to induce superconductivity. In the undoped state, LaFeAsO
exhibits a structural distortion, changing the symmetry from tetragonal (space
group ) to orthorhombic (space group ) at 155 K, and then
followed by an AFM order at 137 K. Doping the system with F gradually decreases
the structural distortion temperature, but suppresses the long range AFM order
before the emergence of superconductivity. Therefore, while superconductivity
in these Fe oxypnictides can survive in either the tetragonal or the
orthorhombic crystal structure, it competes directly with static AFM order.Comment: reference update
Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows from Realistic Fireballs
A GRB afterglow has been commonly thought to be due to continuous
deceleration of a postburst fireball. Many analytical models have made
simplifications for deceleration dynamics of the fireball and its radiation
property, although they are successful at explaining the overall features of
the observed afterglows. We here propose a model for a GRB afterglow in which
the evolution of a postburst fireball is in an intermediate case between the
adiabatic and highly radiative expansion. In our model, the afterglow is both
due to the contribution of the adiabatic electrons behind the external
blastwave of the fireball and due to the contribution of the radiative
electrons. In addition, this model can describe evolution of the fireball from
the extremely relativistic phase to the non-relativistic phase. Our
calculations show that the fireball will go to the adiabatic expansion phase
after about a day if the accelerated electrons are assumed to occupy the total
internal energy. In all cases considered, the fireball will go to the mildly
relativistic phase about seconds later, and to the non-relativistic
phase after several days. These results imply that the relativistic adiabatic
model cannot describe the deceleration dynamics of the several-days-later
fireball. The comparison of the calculated light curves with the observed
results at late times may imply the presence of impulsive events or energy
injection with much longer durations.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figures, plain latex file, submitted to Ap
