Phase diagram and dependence of the critical temperature T_c on the pressure for Tl_{0.5}Pb_{0.5}Sr_2Ca_{1-x}Y_xCu_2)_7
Using a mean-field BCS-like approach on the bidimensional extended Hubbard
Hamiltonian we calculate the superconducting transition temperature Tc as a
function of the hole content nh, for the d-wave and extended-s wave gap
symmetries. To describe the pressure effect on Tc we assume it induces a change
in the magnitude V of the attractive superconductor potential. This assumption
yields an explanation for the intrinsic term, and together with the well known
change in nh, we set the critical temperature as Tc=Tc(nh(P),V(P)). With this
we obtain a general expansion of Tc in terms of the pressure P and the hole
content nh. We apply this expansion to the
Tl_{0.5}Pb_{0.5}Sr_2Ca_{1-x}Y_xCu_2)_7 system

A noniterative method for calculating beam position from induced electric signals
The PUE's in the NSLS storage rings are of the 4 button type. Near the center of the PUE the beam position can be well approximated with a linear function of the sum and the difference signals induced on these electrodes by the bunched beam. The nonlinear response of the PUE's further away from the center was measured. An algorithm was developed to compensate for this effect. 7 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab
Andreev Reflection in an <em>s</em>-Type Superconductor Proximized 3D Topological Insulator
We investigate transport and shot noise in lateral normal-metal–3D topological-insulator–superconductor contacts, where the 3D topological insulator (TI) is based on Bi. In the normal state, the devices are in the elastic diffusive transport regime, as demonstrated by a nearly universal value of the shot noise Fano factor FN≈1/3 in magnetic field and in a reference normal-metal contact. In the absence of magnetic field, we identify the Andreev reflection (AR) regime, which gives rise to the effective charge doubling in shot noise measurements. Surprisingly, the Fano factor FAR≈0.22±0.02 is considerably reduced in the AR regime compared to FN, in contrast to previous AR experiments in normal metals and semiconductors. We suggest that this effect is related to a finite thermal conduction of the proximized, superconducting TI owing to a residual density of states at low energies
The molecular systems composed of the charmed mesons in the doublet
We study the possible heavy molecular states composed of a pair of charm
mesons in the H and S doublets. Since the P-wave charm-strange mesons
and are extremely narrow, the future experimental
observation of the possible heavy molecular states composed of
and may be feasible if they really exist.
Especially the possible states may be searched for via the
initial state radiation technique.Comment: 42 pages, 4 tables, 31 figures. Improved numerical results and

Semileptonic Bs ->DsJ(2460)l nu decay in QCD
Using three point QCD sum rules method, the form factors relevant to the
semileptonic Bs ->DsJ (2460)l nu decay are calculated. The q2 dependence of
these form factors is evaluated and compared with the heavy quark effective
theory predictions. The dependence of the asymmetry parameter alpha,
characterizing the polarization of DsJ meson, on q2 is studied .The branching
ratio of this decay is also estimated and is shown that it can be easily
detected at LHC.Comment: 21 pages, 5 figures and 1 Tabl
Disordered Bosons: Condensate and Excitations
The disordered Bose Hubbard model is studied numerically within the
Bogoliubov approximation. First, the spatially varying condensate wavefunction
in the presence of disorder is found by solving a nonlinear Schrodinger
equation. Using the Bogoliubov approximation to find the excitations above this
condensate, we calculate the condensate fraction, superfluid density, and
density of states for a two-dimensional disordered system. These results are
compared with experiments done with adsorbed in porous media.Comment: RevTeX, 26 pages and 10 postscript figures appended (Figure 9 has

Measurements of Atmospheric Antiprotons
We measured atmospheric antiproton spectra in the energy range 0.2 to 3.4
GeV, at sea level and at balloon altitude in the atmospheric depth range 4.5 to
26 g/cm^2. The observed energy spectra, including our previous measurements at
mountain altitude, were compared with estimated spectra calculated on various
assumptions regarding the energy distribution of antiprotons that interacted
with air nuclei.Comment: Accepted for publication in PL
