Anomalous spin-dependent behaviour of one-dimensional subbands
We report a new electron interaction effect in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wires.
Using DC-bias spectroscopy, we show that large and abrupt changes occur to the
energies of spin-down (lower energy) states as they populate. The effect is not
observed for spin-up energy states. At B=0, interactions have a pronounced
effect, in the form of the well-known 0.7 Structure. However, our new results
show that interactions strongly affect the energy spectrum at all magnetic
fields, from 0 to 16T, not just in the vicinity of the 0.7 Structure.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Random harmonic analysis program, L221 (TEV156). Volume 1: Engineering and usage
A digital computer program capable of calculating steady state solutions for linear second order differential equations due to sinusoidal forcing functions is described. The field of application of the program, the analysis of airplane response and loads due to continuous random air turbulence, is discussed. Optional capabilities including frequency dependent input matrices, feedback damping, gradual gust penetration, multiple excitation forcing functions, and a static elastic solution are described. Program usage and a description of the analysis used are presented
Automated microorganism Sample Collection Module
Modified Gelman Sampler obtains representative sample of microorganism population. Proposed Sample Collection Module is based on direct inoculation of selected solid growth media encased in a cartridge at all times except during inoculation. Cartridge can be handled with no danger of contamination to sample or operator
Enhanced di-Higgs Production through Light Colored Scalars
We demonstrate enhanced di-Higgs production at the LHC in the presence of
modifications of the effective couplings of Higgs to gluons from new, light,
colored scalars. While our results apply to an arbitrary set of colored
scalars, we illustrate the effects with a real color octet scalar -- a simple,
experimentally viable model involving a light (~125-300 GeV) colored scalar.
Given the recent LHC results, we consider two distinct scenarios: First, if the
Higgs is indeed near 125 GeV, we show that the di-Higgs cross section could be
up to nearly one thousand times the Standard Model rate for particular octet
couplings and masses. This is potentially observable in \emph{single} Higgs
production modes, such as as well as where a small fraction of the
or events near the putative Higgs invariant mass peak contain
also a resonance consistent with the Higgs mass. Second, if the
Higgs is not at 125 GeV (and what the LHC has observed is an impostor), we show
that the same parameter region where singly-produced Higgs production can be
suppressed below current LHC limits, for a heavier Higgs mass, also
simultaneously predicts substantially enhanced di-Higgs production. We point
out several characteristic signals of di-Higgs production with a heavier Higgs
boson, such as , which could use same-sign
dileptons or trileptons plus missing energy to uncover evidence.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figure
