Off-Shell Scattering Amplitudes for WW Scattering and the Role of the Photon Pole
We derive analytic expressions for high energy off-shell scattering
amplitudes of weak vector bosons. They are obtained from six fermion final
states in processes of the type . As an application we reconsider the
unitarity bounds on the Higgs mass. Particular attention is given to the role
of the photon exchange which has not been considered in earlier investigations;
we find that the photon weakens the bound of the Higgs mass.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figure

Combined electrical transport and capacitance spectroscopy of a field effect transistor
We have measured both the current-voltage (-)
and capacitance-voltage (-) characteristics of a
field effect transistor. From the measured capacitance
we calculate the electron surface density and show that its gate voltage
dependence follows the theoretical prediction resulting from the
two-dimensional free electron model. This model allows us to fit the measured
- characteristics over the \emph{entire range} of
. Combining this experimental result with the measured
current-voltage characteristics, we determine the field effect mobility as a
function of gate voltage. We show that for our device this improved combined
approach yields significantly smaller values (more than a factor of 4) of the
electron mobility than the conventional analysis of the current-voltage
characteristics only.Comment: to appear in Applied Physics Letter
Velocity-selective direct frequency-comb spectroscopy of atomic vapors
We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of two-photon direct
frequency-comb spectroscopy performed through velocity-selective excitation. In
particular, we explore the effect of repetition rate on the
two-photon transitions
excited in a rubidium atomic vapor cell. The transitions occur via step-wise
excitation through the states by use of the direct
output of an optical frequency comb. Experiments were performed with two
different frequency combs, one with a repetition rate of MHz and
one with a repetition rate of MHz. The experimental spectra are
compared to each other and to a theoretical model.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
Integrable spin chains and scattering amplitudes
In this review we show that the multi-particle scattering amplitudes in N=4
SYM at large Nc and in the multi-Regge kinematics for some physical regions
have the high energy behavior appearing from the contribution of the Mandelstam
cuts in the complex angular momentum plane of the corresponding t-channel
partial waves. These Mandelstam cuts or Regge cuts are resulting from gluon
composite states in the adjoint representation of the gauge group SU(Nc). In
the leading logarithmic approximation (LLA) their contribution to the six point
amplitude is in full agreement with the known two-loop result.
The Hamiltonian for the Mandelstam states constructed from n gluons in LLA
coincides with the local Hamiltonian of an integrable open spin chain. We
construct the corresponding wave functions using the integrals of motion and
the Baxter-Sklyanin approach.Comment: Invited review for a special issue of Journal of Physics A devoted to

Two parton shower background for associate W Higgs production
The estimates of the background for the associate W Higgs production, which
stems from the two parton shower production. It is about 1 - 2.5 times larger
than the signal. However, this background does not depend on the rapidity
difference between the W and the pair, while the signal peaks when
the rapidity difference is zero. The detailed calculations for the enhanced
diagrams' contribution to this process, are presented, and it is shown that the
overlapping singularities, being important theoretically, lead to a negligible
contribution for the LHC range of energiesComment: 35 pages and 10 figures in eps file
