Circumstellar Disks Around Binary Stars in Taurus
We have conducted a survey of 17 wide (> 100 AU) young binary systems in
Taurus with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) at two wavelengths. The
observations were designed to measure the masses of circumstellar disks in
these systems as an aid to understanding the role of multiplicity in star and
planet formation. The ALMA observations had sufficient resolution to localize
emission within the binary system. Disk emission was detected around all
primaries and ten secondaries, with disk masses as low as .
We compare the properties of our sample to the population of known disks in
Taurus and find that the disks from this binary sample match the scaling
between stellar mass and millimeter flux of
to within the scatter found in previous studies. We also compare the properties
of the primaries to those of the secondaries and find that the
secondary/primary stellar and disk mass ratios are not correlated; in three
systems, the circumsecondary disk is more massive than the circumprimary disk,
counter to some theoretical predictions.Comment: To appear in the Astrophysical Journal, 12 page
Production of scalar molecules in radiative decays
The potentialities of the production of the scalar molecules in the
radiative decays are considered beyond the narrow resonance width
approximation. It is shown that $BR(\phi\rightarrow\gamma

BFKL Pomeron, Reggeized gluons and Bern-Dixon-Smirnov amplitudes
After a brief review of the BFKL approach to Regge processes in QCD and in
supersymmetric (SUSY) gauge theories we propose a strategy for calculating the
next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to the BFKL kernel. They can be
obtained in terms of various cross-sections for Reggeized gluon interactions.
The corresponding amplitudes can be calculated in the framework of the
effective action for high energy scattering. In the case of N=4 SUSY it is also
possible to use the Bern-Dixon-Smirnov (BDS) ansatz. For this purpose the
analytic properties of the BDS amplitudes at high energies are investigated, in
order to verify their self-consistency. It is found that, for the number of
external particles being larger than five, these amplitudes, beyond one loop,
are not in agreement with the BFKL approach which predicts the existence of
Regge cuts in some physical channels.Comment: 41 pages, expanded version with many clarifications and new
