M\"{o}ller and Bhabha scattering in the noncommutative standard model
We study the M\"{o}ller and Bhabha scattering in the noncommutative extension
of the standard model(SM) using the Seiberg-Witten maps of this to first order
of the noncommutative parameter . We look at the angular
distribution to explore the noncommutativity of space-time at
around TeV and find that the distribution deviates
significantly from the one obtained from the commutative version of the
standard model.Comment: 15 pages, 14 eps figures.Text is modified a little and version to

Ionization of hydrogen atoms by electron impact at 1eV, 0.5eV and 0.3eV above threshold
We present here triple differential cross sections for ionization of hydrogen
atoms by electron impact at 1eV, 0.5eV and 0.3eV energy above threshold,
calculated in the hyperspherical partial wave theory. The results are in very
good agreement with the available semiclassical results of Deb and Crothers
\cite{DC02} for these energies. With this, we are able to demonstrate that the
hyperspherical partial wave theory yields good cross sections from 30 eV
\cite{DPC03} down to near threshold for equal energy sharing kinematics.Comment: 6 pages, 9 figure
Flow-induced currents in nanotubes: a Brownian dynamics approach
Motivated by recent experiments [Science {\bf 299}, 1042 (2003)] reporting
that carbon nanotubes immersed in a flowing fluid displayed an electric current
and voltage, we numerically study the behaviour of a collection of Brownian
particles in a channel, in the presence of a flow field applied on similar but
slower particles in a wide chamber in contact with the channel. For a suitable
range of shear rates, we find that the flow field induces a unidirectional
drift in the confined particles, and is stronger for narrower channels. The
average drift velocity initially rises with increasing shear rate, then shows
saturation for a while, thereafter starts decreasing, in qualitative agreement
with recent theoretical studies [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 70}, 205423 (2004)] based on
Brownian drag and ``loss of grip''. Interestingly, if the sign of the
interspecies interaction is reversed, the direction of the induced drift
remains the same, but the flow-rate at which loss of grip occurs is lower, and
the level of fluctuations is higher.Comment: 7 pages, 9 figure
Insulator superconductor transition on solid inert gas substrates
We present observations of the insulator-superconductor transition in
ultrathin films of Bi on solid xenon condensed on quartz and on Ge on quartz.
The relative permeability ranges from 1.5 for Xe to 15 for Ge.
Though we find screening effects as expected, the I-S transition is robust, and
unmodified by the substrate. The resistance separatrix is found to be close to
and the crossover thickness close to 25 for all substrates. I-V
studies and Aslamazov-Larkin analyses indicate superconductivity is
inhomogeneous. The transition is best described in terms of a percolation
model.Comment: Submitted to LT23 Proceeding
Bounds for the relative n-th nilpotency degree in compact groups
The line of investigation of the present paper goes back to a classical work
of W. H. Gustafson of the 1973, in which it is described the probability that
two randomly chosen group elements commute. In the same work, he gave some
bounds for this kind of probability, providing information on the group
structure. We have recently obtained some generalizations of his results for
finite groups. Here we improve them in the context of the compact groups.Comment: 9 pages; to appear in Asian-European Journal of Mathematics with

Microcanonical Lattice Gas Model for Nuclear Disassembly
Microcanonical calculations are no more difficult to implement than canonical
calculations in the Lattice Gas Model. We report calculations for a few
observables where we compare microcanonical model results with canonical model
results.Comment: 7 pages, Revtex, 3 postscript figure
Ba Quadrupole Polarizabilities: Theory versus Experiment
Three different measurements have been reported for the ground state
quadrupole polarizability in the singly ionized barium (Ba) which disagree
with each other. Our calculation of this quantity using the relativistic
coupled-cluster method disagrees with two of the experimental values and is
within the error bars of the other. We discuss the issues related to the
accuracy of our calculations and emphasize the need for further experiments to
measure the quadrupole polarizability for this state and/or the 5D states.Comment: 6 pages, 3 table
