Nuclear shadowing and in-medium properties of the rho^0
We explain the early onset of shadowing in nuclear photoabsorption within a
multiple scattering approach and discuss its relation to in-medium
modifications of the rho^0.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of the 9th

Anomalous bond stretching phonons as a probe of charge fluctuations in perovskites
Important information on momentum resolved low energy charge response can be
extracted from anomalous properties of bond stretching in plane phonons
observed in inelastic neutron and X-ray scattering in cuprates and some other
perovskites. We discuss a semiphenomenological model based on coupling of
phonons to a single charge mode. The phonon dispersion and linewidth allow to
locate the energy of the charge excitation in the mid infrared part of the
spectrum and to determine some of its characteristics. New experiments on
oxygen isotope substitution could allow to achieve a more detailed description.
Corresponding relations following from the model can be used for the
interpretation of experiments and as test of the model.Comment: presented at the M2S-HTSC-VIII conference in Dresde
Hadron formation in high energy photonuclear reactions
We present a new method to account for coherence length effects in a
semi-classical transport model. This allows us to describe photo- and
electroproduction at large nuclei (A>12) and high energies using a realistic
coupled channel description of the final state interactions that goes beyond
simple Glauber theory. We show that the purely absorptive treatment of the
final state interactions can lead to wrong estimates of color transparency and
formation time effects in particle production. As an example, we discuss
exclusive rho^0 photoproduction on Pb at a photon energy of 7 GeV as well as
K^+ production in the photon energy range 1-7 GeV.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, version published in Phys. Rev.
The MultiSite Spectroscopic Telescope campaign: 2m spectroscopy of the V361 Hya variable PG1605+072
We present results and analysis for the 2m spectroscopic part of the
MultiSite Spectroscopic Telescope (MSST) campaign undertaken in May/June 2002.
The goal of the project was to observe the pulsating subdwarf B star PG1605+072
simultaneously in velocity and photometry and to resolve as many of the >50
known modes as possible, which will allow a detailed asteroseismological
analysis. We have obtained over 150 hours of spectroscopy, leading to an
unprecedented noise level of only 207m/s. We report here the detection of 20
frequencies in velocity, with two more likely just below our detection
threshold. In particular, we detect 6 linear combinations, making PG1605+072
only the second star known to show such frequencies in velocity. We investigate
the phases of these combinations and their parent modes and find relationships
between them that cannot be easily understood based on current theory. These
observations, when combined with our simultaneous photometry, should allow
asteroseismology of this most complicated of sdB pulsators.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in A&A; Figure 1 at

Численное исследование влияния условий распыления воды на температуру в следе "водяного снаряда"
С использованием нескольких моделей "водяных снарядов" малых размеров выполнено численное исследование макроскопических закономерностей испарения монодисперсной совокупности капель тонкораспыленной воды при прохождении через высокотемпературные продукты сгорания. Установлены зависимости интегральных характеристик тепломассопереноса от отношения площадей испарения и площадей, занимаемых "водяным снарядом". Определены условия распыления воды для эффективного снижения температуры в зоне горения
Distant galaxy clusters in the COSMOS field found by HIROCS
We present the first high-redshift galaxy cluster candidate sample from the
HIROCS survey found in the COSMOS field. It results from a combination of
public COSMOS with proprietary H-band data on a 0.66 square degree part of the
COSMOS field and comprises 12 candidates in the redshift range 1.23 < z < 1.55.
We find an increasing fraction of blue cluster members with increasing
redshift. Many of the blue and even some of the reddest member galaxies exhibit
disturbed morphologies as well as signs of interaction.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, in print format, accepted for publication by A&A

Nuclear shadowing at low photon energies
We calculate the shadowing effect in nuclear photoabsorption at low photon
energies (1-3 GeV) within a multiple scattering approach. We avoid some of the
high energy approximations that are usually made in simple Glauber theory like
the narrow width and the eikonal approximation. We find that the main
contribution to nuclear shadowing at low energies stems from mesons
with masses well below their pole mass. We also show that the possibility of
scattering in non forward directions allows for a new contribution to shadowing
at low energies: the production of neutral pions as intermediate hadronic
states enhances the shadowing effect in the onset region. For light nuclei and
small photon energies they give rise to about 30% of the total shadowing
effect.Comment: RevTeX, 16 pages including 6 eps figures; new calculation of
