Superscaling in electron- and neutrino-nucleus scattering

The superscaling properties of electron scattering data are used to extract model-independent predictions for neutrino-nucleus cross sections.Comment: Contibution to NuInt05, 4th international workshop on neutrino-nucleus interaction in the few GeV region, Sept. 26 - 29 2005, Okayama, Japa

Scale Separation Scheme for Simulating Superfluid Turbulence: Kelvin-Wave Cascade

A Kolmogorov-type cascade of Kelvin waves--the distortion waves on vortex lines--plays a key part in the relaxation of superfluid turbulence at low temperatures. We propose an efficient numeric scheme for simulating the Kelvin wave cascade on a single vortex line. The idea is likely to be generalizable for a full-scale simulation of different regimes of superfluid turbulence. With the new scheme, we are able to unambiguously resolve the cascade spectrum exponent, and thus to settle the controversy between recent simulations [1] and recently developed analytic theory [2].

A simple model for NN correlations in quasielastic lepton-nucleus scattering

We present a covariant extension of the relativistic Fermi gas model which incorporates correlation effects in nuclei. Within this model, inspired by the BCS descriptions of systems of fermions, we obtain the nuclear spectral function and from it the superscaling function for use in treating high-energy quasielastic electroweak processes. Interestingly, this model has the capability to yield the asymmetric tail seen in the experimental scaling function.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, Proceedings of the Twenty Seventh International Workshop on Nuclear Theory, June 23 - 28, 2008, Rila mountains, Bulgari
