W Plus Heavy Quark Production at the Tevatron
We summarize the motivations for and the status of the calculation of the heavy quark production process in colliders to Next-to-Leading
Order in QCD. This process can be used to constrain the strange quark
distribution function at high at the Tevatron, and also to study the
bottom content of ~jet events. In addition, when crossed, the calculation
essentially describes the single top quark production process to
Next-to-Leading Order in QCD.Comment: Presented by S. Keller at DPF94 Meeting, Albuquerque, New Mexico,

Mechanisms of superconductivity investigated by nuclear radiation
Investigation focused on the behavior of superconducting magnet and its constituent materials during and after exposure to nuclear radiation. The results will indicate the feasibility of their use in diverse applications and various environments
Ultrafast Molecular Imaging by Laser Induced Electron Diffraction
We address the feasibility of imaging geometric and orbital structure of a
polyatomic molecule on an attosecond time-scale using the laser induced
electron diffraction (LIED) technique. We present numerical results for the
highest molecular orbitals of the CO2 molecule excited by a near infrared
few-cycle laser pulse. The molecular geometry (bond-lengths) is determined
within 3% of accuracy from a diffraction pattern which also reflects the nodal
properties of the initial molecular orbital. Robustness of the structure
determination is discussed with respect to vibrational and rotational motions
with a complete interpretation of the laser-induced mechanisms
Ultrafast control of inelastic tunneling in a double semiconductor quantum
In a semiconductor-based double quantum well (QW) coupled to a degree of
freedom with an internal dynamics, we demonstrate that the electronic motion is
controllable within femtoseconds by applying appropriately shaped
electromagnetic pulses. In particular, we consider a pulse-driven AlxGa1-xAs
based symmetric double QW coupled to uniformly distributed or localized
vibrational modes and present analytical results for the lowest two levels.
These predictions are assessed and generalized by full-fledged numerical
simulations showing that localization and time-stabilization of the driven
electron dynamics is indeed possible under the conditions identified here, even
with a simultaneous excitations of vibrational modes.Comment: to be published in Appl.Phys.Let
