Coherence as ultrashort pulse train generator
Intense, well-controlled regular light pulse trains start to play a crucial
role in many fields of physics. We theoretically demonstrate a very simple and
robust technique for generating such periodic ultrashort pulses from a
continuous probe wave which propagates in a dispersive thermal gas media
Optimal refrigerator
We study a refrigerator model which consists of two -level systems
interacting via a pulsed external field. Each system couples to its own thermal
bath at temperatures and , respectively ().
The refrigerator functions in two steps: thermally isolated interaction between
the systems driven by the external field and isothermal relaxation back to
equilibrium. There is a complementarity between the power of heat transfer from
the cold bath and the efficiency: the latter nullifies when the former is
maximized and {\it vice versa}. A reasonable compromise is achieved by
optimizing the product of the heat-power and efficiency over the Hamiltonian of
the two system. The efficiency is then found to be bounded from below by
(an analogue of the Curzon-Ahlborn
efficiency), besides being bound from above by the Carnot efficiency
. The lower bound is reached in the
equilibrium limit . The Carnot bound is reached (for a finite
power and a finite amount of heat transferred per cycle) for . If
the above maximization is constrained by assuming homogeneous energy spectra
for both systems, the efficiency is bounded from above by and
converges to it for .Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
Magnetic and quantum entanglement properties of the distorted diamond chain model for azurite
We present the results of magnetic properties and entanglement of the
distorted diamond chain model for azurite using pure quantum exchange
interactions. The magnetic properties and concurrence as a measure of pairwise
thermal entanglement have been studied by means of variational mean-field like
treatment based on Gibbs-Bogoliubov inequality. Such a system can be considered
as an approximation of the natural material azurite, Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2. For values
of exchange parameters, which are taken from experimental results, we study the
thermodynamic properties, such as azurite specific heat and magnetic
susceptibility. We also have studied the thermal entanglement properties and
magnetization plateau of the distorted diamond chain model for azurite
Magnetic properties and concurrence for fluid 3He on kagome lattice
We present the results of magnetic properties and entanglement for kagome
lattice using Heisenberg model with two-, and three-site exchange interactions
in strong magnetic field. Kagome lattice correspond to the third layer of fluid
3He absorbed on the surface of graphite. The magnetic properties and
concurrence as a measure of pairwise thermal entanglement are studied by means
of variational mean-field like treatment based on Gibbs-Bogoliubov inequality.
The system exhibits different magnetic behaviors, depending on the values of
the exchange parameters (J2, J3). We have obtained the magnetization plateaus
at low temperatures. The central theme of the paper is the comparing the
entanglement and magnetic behavior for kagome lattice. We have found that in
the antiferromagnetic region behaviour of the concurrence coincides with the
magnetization one.Comment: Physics of Atomic Nuclei (accepted for publication) 201
Recoil Studies in the Reaction of 12-C Ions with the Enriched Isotope 118-Sn
The recoil properties of the product nuclei from the interaction of 2.2
GeV/nucleon 12-C ions from Nuclotron of the Laboratory of High Energies (LHE),
Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) at Dubna with a 118-Sn target have
been studied using catcher foils. The experimental data were analyzed using the
mathematical formalism of the standard two-step vector model. The results for
12-C ions are compared with those for deuterons and protons. Three different
Los Alamos versions of the Quark-Gluon String Model (LAQGSM) were used for
comparison with our experimental data.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Nucl. Phys.
Study of Bs-> \phi l^+ l^-$ Decay in a Single Universal Extra Dimension
Utilizing form factors calculated within the light-cone sum rules, we have
evaluated the decay branching ratios of and in a single universal extra dimension model (UED), which is
viewed as one of the alternative theories beyond the standard model (SM). For
the decay , the dilepton invariant mass spectra, the
forward-backward asymmetry, and double lepton polarization are also calculated.
For each case, we compared the obtained results with predictions of the SM. In
lower values of the compactification factor 1/R, the only parameter in this
model, we see the considerable discrepancy between the UED and SM models.
However, when 1/R increases, the results of UED tend to diminish and at , two models have approximately the same predictions.
Compared with data from CDF of , the 1/R tends to be
larger than . We also note that the zero crossing point of
the forward-backward asymmetry is become smaller, which will be an important
plat to prob the contribution from the extra dimension model. The results
obtained in this work will be very useful in searching new physics beyond SM.
Moreover, the order of magnitude for branching ratios shows a possibility to
study these channels at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CDF and the future
super-B factory.Comment: 13 pages, 16 figure
Search for Doubly-Charged Higgs Boson Production at HERA
A search for the single production of doubly-charged Higgs bosons H^{\pm \pm}
in ep collisions is presented. The signal is searched for via the Higgs decays
into a high mass pair of same charge leptons, one of them being an electron.
The analysis uses up to 118 pb^{-1} of ep data collected by the H1 experiment
at HERA. No evidence for doubly-charged Higgs production is observed and mass
dependent upper limits are derived on the Yukawa couplings h_{el} of the Higgs
boson to an electron-lepton pair. Assuming that the doubly-charged Higgs only
decays into an electron and a muon via a coupling of electromagnetic strength
h_{e \mu} = \sqrt{4 \pi \alpha_{em}} = 0.3, a lower limit of 141 GeV on the
H^{\pm\pm} mass is obtained at the 95% confidence level. For a doubly-charged
Higgs decaying only into an electron and a tau and a coupling h_{e\tau} = 0.3,
masses below 112 GeV are ruled out.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
Forward pi^0 Production and Associated Transverse Energy Flow in Deep-Inelastic Scattering at HERA
Deep-inelastic positron-proton interactions at low values of Bjorken-x down
to x \approx 4.10^-5 which give rise to high transverse momentum pi^0 mesons
are studied with the H1 experiment at HERA. The inclusive cross section for
pi^0 mesons produced at small angles with respect to the proton remnant (the
forward region) is presented as a function of the transverse momentum and
energy of the pi^0 and of the four-momentum transfer Q^2 and Bjorken-x.
Measurements are also presented of the transverse energy flow in events
containing a forward pi^0 meson. Hadronic final state calculations based on QCD
models implementing different parton evolution schemes are confronted with the
data.Comment: 27 pages, 8 figures and 3 table
New Physics in b -> s mu+ mu-: CP-Conserving Observables
We perform a comprehensive study of the impact of new-physics operators with
different Lorentz structures on decays involving the b -> s mu+ mu- transition.
We examine the effects of new vector-axial vector (VA), scalar-pseudoscalar
(SP) and tensor (T) interactions on the differential branching ratios and
forward-backward asymmetries (A_{FB}'s) of Bsbar -> mu+ mu-, Bdbar -> Xs mu+
mu-, Bsbar -> mu+ mu- gamma, Bdbar -> Kbar mu+ mu-, and Bdbar -> K* mu+ mu-,
taking the new-physics couplings to be real. In Bdbar -> K* mu+ mu-, we further
explore the polarization fraction f_L, the angular asymmetry A_T^{(2)}, and the
longitudinal-transverse asymmetry A_{LT}. We identify the Lorentz structures
that would significantly impact these observables, providing analytical
arguments in terms of the contributions from the individual operators and their
interference terms. In particular, we show that while the new VA operators can
significantly enhance most of the asymmetries beyond the Standard Model
predictions, the SP and T operators can do this only for A_{FB} in Bdbar ->
Kbar mu+ mu-.Comment: 54 pages, JHEP format, 45 figures (included). 5/6/2013: typos in K*
