Elliptic Solitons and Groebner Bases
We consider the solution of spectral problems with elliptic coefficients in
the framework of the Hermite ansatz. We show that the search for exactly
solvable potentials and their spectral characteristics is reduced to a system
of polynomial equations solvable by the Gr\"obner bases method and others. New
integrable potentials and corresponding solutions of the Sawada-Kotera,
Kaup-Kupershmidt, Boussinesq equations and others are found.Comment: 18 pages, no figures, LaTeX'2
Wave Solutions of Evolution Equations and Hamiltonian Flows on Nonlinear Subvarieties of Generalized Jacobians
The algebraic-geometric approach is extended to study solutions of
N-component systems associated with the energy dependent Schrodinger operators
having potentials with poles in the spectral parameter, in connection with
Hamiltonian flows on nonlinear subvariaties of Jacobi varieties. The systems
under study include the shallow water equation and Dym type equation. The
classes of solutions are described in terms of theta-functions and their
singular limits by using new parameterizations. A qualitative description of
real valued solutions is provided
Zero modes in a system of Aharonov-Bohm fluxes
We study zero modes of two-dimensional Pauli operators with Aharonov--Bohm
fluxes in the case when the solenoids are arranged in periodic structures like
chains or lattices. We also consider perturbations to such periodic systems
which may be infinite and irregular but they are always supposed to be
sufficiently scarce
The LBNO long-baseline oscillation sensitivities with two conventional neutrino beams at different baselines
The proposed Long Baseline Neutrino Observatory (LBNO) initially consists of
kton liquid double phase TPC complemented by a magnetised iron
calorimeter, to be installed at the Pyh\"asalmi mine, at a distance of 2300 km
from CERN. The conventional neutrino beam is produced by 400 GeV protons
accelerated at the SPS accelerator delivering 700 kW of power. The long
baseline provides a unique opportunity to study neutrino flavour oscillations
over their 1st and 2nd oscillation maxima exploring the behaviour, and
distinguishing effects arising from and matter. In this paper we
show how this comprehensive physics case can be further enhanced and
complemented if a neutrino beam produced at the Protvino IHEP accelerator
complex, at a distance of 1160 km, and with modest power of 450 kW is aimed
towards the same far detectors. We show that the coupling of two independent
sub-MW conventional neutrino and antineutrino beams at different baselines from
CERN and Protvino will allow to measure CP violation in the leptonic sector at
a confidence level of at least for 50\% of the true values of
with a 20 kton detector. With a far detector of 70 kton, the
combination allows a sensitivity for 75\% of the true values of
after 10 years of running. Running two independent neutrino
beams, each at a power below 1 MW, is more within today's state of the art than
the long-term operation of a new single high-energy multi-MW facility, which
has several technical challenges and will likely require a learning curve.Comment: 21 pages, 12 figure
Multidimensional cosmological models: cosmological and astrophysical implications and constraints
We investigate four-dimensional effective theories which are obtained by
dimensional reduction of multidimensional cosmological models with factorizable
geometry and consider the interaction between conformal excitations of the
internal space (geometrical moduli excitations) and Abelian gauge fields. It is
assumed that the internal space background can be stabilized by minima of an
effective potential. The conformal excitations over such a background have the
form of massive scalar fields (gravitational excitons) propagating in the
external spacetime. We discuss cosmological and astrophysical implications of
the interaction between gravexcitons and four-dimensional photons as well as
constraints arising on multidimensional models of the type considered in our
paper. In particular, we show that due to the experimental bounds on the
variation of the fine structure constant, gravexcitons should decay before
nucleosynthesis starts. For a successful nucleosynthesis the masses of the
decaying gravexcitons should be m>10^4 GeV. Furthermore, we discuss the
possible contribution of gravexcitons to UHECR. It is shown that, at energies
of about 10^{20}eV, the decay length of gravexcitons with masses m>10^4 GeV is
very small, but that for m <10^2 GeV it becomes much larger than the
Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cut-off distance. Finally, we investigate the
possibility for gravexciton-photon oscillations in strong magnetic fields of
astrophysical objects. The corresponding estimates indicate that even the high
magnetic field strengths of magnetars are not sufficient for an efficient and
copious production of gravexcitons.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX2e, minor changes, improved references, to appear in

Technical Design Report for the PANDA Solenoid and Dipole Spectrometer Magnets
This document is the Technical Design Report covering the two large
spectrometer magnets of the PANDA detector set-up. It shows the conceptual
design of the magnets and their anticipated performance. It precedes the tender
and procurement of the magnets and, hence, is subject to possible modifications
arising during this process.Comment: 10 pages, 14MB, accepted by FAIR STI in May 2009, editors: Inti

Численное моделирование осаждения снега вблизи снегозадерживающих заборов
The results of numerical modeling of the influence of geometric characteristics of snow-protecting fences on the intensity of snow deposition at the initial stage of formation, that is, without taking into account the influence of the dynamics of the shape of the snow cover surface, are presented. In the most industrialized and densely populated region on the Arctic Krasnoyarsk Territory - the industrial City of Norilsk, daily snowfall can exceed 50 mm, the snow depth reaches, on the average, 47 cm (the largest is 70 cm), while the wind speed - 25-30 m/s. This promotes formation of snow deposition on roads, in residential areas as well as in industrial sites and infrastructure facilities, which hampers and sometimes completely stops operation of them. As part of the solution of these problems, a software package has been developed aimed at numerical modeling of snow transport processes and implementing the snow protection measures. To simulate the dynamics of the windinduced snow drift, a microscale model of the atmospheric boundary layer was used together with a diffusion-inertial description of the transport of the snow dispersed phase. Analysis of the calculation results shows that the width of the plates, as well as their spatial orientation, have insignificant effect on the snow-holding capacity of fences. The size of the gaps between the rails and the height of the lower gap exerts the greatest influence on the distribution of the intensity of snow deposition, both on the leeward and windward sides of the fence. In general, we can talk about the relationship between the wind speed field formed during the drift around the fence and the distribution of the snow deposition intensity. Thus, a relative decrease in the average wind speed from the leeward side of the fence increases the precipitation intensity. The presented results of numerical modeling do not contradict data of field observations previously obtained by other authors, and, thus, the developed software package allows comparing effectiveness of different snow-protecting constructions.Описывается математическая модель переноса снега ветром, реализованная в программном инструменте, предназначенном для разработки снегозащитных мероприятий. С его помощью проведено численное исследование влияния геометрических параметров снегозащитных заборов на интенсивность осаждения снега вблизи них. Показано, что наибольшее влияние оказывают просветность и высота нижнего зазора забора
Search for Squarks and Gluinos in Events Containing Jets and a Large Imbalance in Transverse Energy
Using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79 pb-1, D0 has
searched for events containing multiple jets and large missing transverse
energy in pbar-p collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron
collider. Observing no significant excess beyond what is expected from the
standard model, we set limits on the masses of squarks and gluinos and on the
model parameters m_0 and m_1/2, in the framework of the minimal low-energy
supergravity models of supersymmetry. For tan(beta) = 2 and A_0 = 0, with mu <
0, we exclude all models with m_squark < 250 GeV/c^2. For models with equal
squark and gluino masses, we exclude m < 260 GeV/c^2.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, Submitted to PRL, Fixed typo on page bottom of

Search for bottom squarks in pbarp collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV
We report on a search for bottom squarks produced in pbarp collisions at
sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV using the D0 detector at Fermilab. Bottom squarks are assumed
to be produced in pairs and to decay to the lightest supersymmetric particle
(LSP) and a b quark with branching fraction of 100%. The LSP is assumed to be
the lightest neutralino and stable. We set limits on the production cross
section as a function of bottom squark mass and LSP mass.Comment: 5 pages, Latex. submitted 3-12-1999 to PRD - Rapid Communicatio
