Comment on current correlators in QCD at finite temperature
We address some criticisms by Eletsky and Ioffe on the extension of QCD sum
rules to finite temperature. We argue that this extension is possible, provided
the Operator Product Expansion and QCD-hadron duality remain valid at non-zero
temperature. We discuss evidence in support of this from QCD, and from the
exactly solvable two- dimensional sigma model O(N) in the large N limit, and
the Schwinger model.Comment: 10 pages, LATEX file, UCT-TP-208/94, April 199
Lattice thermal conductivity of graphene nanostructures
Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics is used to investigate the heat current
due to the atomic lattice vibrations in graphene nanoribbons and nanorings
under a thermal gradient. We consider a wide range of temperature, nanoribbon
widths up to 6nm and the effect of moderate edge disorder. We find that narrow
graphene nanorings can efficiently suppress the lattice thermal conductivity at
low temperatures (~100K), as compared to nanoribbons of the same width.
Remarkably, rough edges do not appear to have a large impact on lattice energy
transport through graphene nanorings while nanoribbons seem more affected by
imperfections. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the effects of
hydrogen-saturated edges can be neglected in these graphene nanostructures
Experimental evidence of delocalized states in random dimer superlattices
We study the electronic properties of GaAs-AlGaAs superlattices with
intentional correlated disorder by means of photoluminescence and vertical dc
resistance. The results are compared to those obtained in ordered and
uncorrelated disordered superlattices. We report the first experimental
evidence that spatial correlations inhibit localization of states in disordered
low-dimensional systems, as our previous theoretical calculations suggested, in
contrast to the earlier belief that all eigenstates are localized.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures. Physical Review Letters (in press
Implications of the ALEPH tau-Lepton Decay Data for Perturbative and Non-Perturbative QCD
We use ALEPH data on hadronic decays in order to calculate Euclidean
coordinate space correlation functions in the vector and axial-vector channels.
The linear combination receives no perturbative contribution and is
quantitatively reproduced by the instanton liquid model. In the case of
the instanton calculation is in good agreement with the data once perturbative
corrections are included. These corrections clearly show the evolution of
. We also analyze the range of validity of the Operator Product
Expansion (OPE). In the channel we find a dimension contribution
which is comparable to the original SVZ estimate, but the instanton model
provides a different non-singular term of the same magnitude. In the case
both the OPE and the instanton model predict the same power correction
induced by the gluon condensate, but it is masked by much larger perturbative
contributions. We conclude that the range of validity of the OPE is limited to
x\lsim0.3 fm, whereas the instanton model describes the data over the entire
range.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure
Review of the ELI-NP-GBS low level rf and synchronization systems
The Gamma Beam System (GBS) of ELI-NP is a linac based gamma-source in construction at Magurele (RO) by the European consortium EuroGammaS led by INFN. Photons with tunable energy and with intensity and brilliance well beyond the state of the art will be produced by Compton back-scattering between a high quality electron beam (up to 740 MeV) and a 515 nm intense laser pulse. Production of very intense photon flux with narrow bandwidth requires multi-bunch operation at 100 Hz repetition rate. A total of 13 klystrons, 3 S-band (2856 MHz) and 10 C-band (5712 MHz) will power a total of 14 Travelling Wave accelerating sections (2 S-band and 12 C-band) plus 3 S-band Standing Wave cavities (a 1.6 cell RF gun and 2 RF deflectors). Each klystron is individually driven by a temperature stabilized LLRF module, for a maximum flexibility in terms of accelerating gradient, arbitrary pulse shaping (e.g. to compensate beam loading effects in multi-bunch regime) and compensation of long-term thermal drifts. In this paper, the whole LLRF system architecture and bench test results, the RF reference generation and distribution together with an overview of the synchronization system will be described
Calculation of gluon and four-quark condensates from the operator expansion
The magnitudes of gluon and four-quark condensates are found from the
analysis of vector mesons consisting of light quarks (the families of
and mesons) in the 3 loops approximation. The QCD model with infinite
number of vector mesons is used to describe the function . This model
describes well the experimental function . Polarization operators
calculated with this model coincide with the Wilson operator expansion at large
. The improved perturbative theory, such that the polarization operators
have correct analytical properties, is used. The result is . The electronic widths of and
are calculated.Comment: 18 pages, latex, changed content slightl
Is there evidence for dimension-two corrections in QCD two-point functions?
The ALEPH data on the (non-strange) vector and axial-vector spectral
functions, extracted from tau-lepton decays, is used in order to search for
evidence for a dimension-two contribution, , to the Operator Product
Expansion (other than quark mass terms). This is done by means of a
dimension-two Finite Energy Sum Rule, which relates QCD to the experimental
hadronic information. The average is
remarkably stable against variations in the continuum threshold, but depends
rather strongly on . Given the current wide spread in the values
of , as extracted from different experiments, we would
conservatively conclude from our analysis that is consistent with zero.Comment: A misprint in Eq. (14) has been corrected. No other changes. Paper to
