Enhancement of the electric dipole moment of the electron in the YbF molecule
We calculate an effective electric field on the unpaired electron in the YbF
molecule. This field determines sensitivity of the molecular experiment to the
electric dipole moment of the electron. We use experimental value of the
spin-doubling constant to estimate the admixture of the configuration with the
hole in the 4f-shell of Ytterbium to the ground state of the molecule. This
admixture reduces the field by 7%. Our value for the effictive field is 5.1
a.u. = 2.5 10^{10} V/cm.Comment: 5 pages, LATEX, uses revtex.st
Electric dipole moment enhancement factor of thallium
The goal of this work is to resolve the present controversy in the value of
the EDM enhancement factor of Tl. We have carried out several calculations by
different high-precision methods, studied previously omitted corrections, as
well as tested our methodology on other parity conserving quantities. We find
the EDM enhancement factor of Tl to be equal to -573(20). This value is 20%
larger than the recently published result of Nataraj et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett.
106, 200403 (2011)], but agrees very well with several earlier results.Comment: 5 pages; v2: link to supplemental material adde
Diffractive Excitation in DIS and pp Collisions
We have in earlier papers presented an extension of Mueller's dipole cascade
model, which includes subleading effects from energy conservation and running
coupling as well as colour suppressed effects from pomeron loops via a ``dipole
swing''. The model was applied to describe the total cross sections in pp and
gamma*p collisions. In this paper we present a number of improvements of the
model, in particular related to the confinement mechanism. A consistent
treatment of dipole evolution and dipole--dipole interactions is achieved by
replacing the infinite range Coulomb potential by a screened potential, which
further improves the frame-independence of the model. We then apply the model
to elastic scattering and diffractive excitation, where we specifically study
the effects of different sources for fluctuations. In our formalism we can take
into account contributions from all different sources, from the dipole cascade
evolution, the dipole--dipole scattering, from the impact-parameter dependence,
and from the initial photon and proton wavefunctions. Good agreement is
obtained with data from the Tevatron and from HERA, and we also present some
predictions for the LHC.Comment: correction of titl
Enhancement of the electric dipole moment of the electron in PbO
The a(1) state of PbO can be used to measure the electric dipole moment of
the electron d_e. We discuss a semiempirical model for this state, which yields
an estimate of the effective electric field on the valence electrons in PbO.
Our final result is an upper limit on the measurable energy shift, which is
significantly larger than was anticipated earlier: .Comment: 4 pages, revtex4, no figures, submitted to PR
Enhancement of the electric dipole moment of the electron in BaF molecule
We report results of ab initio calculation of the spin-rotational Hamiltonian
parameters including P- and P,T-odd terms for the BaF molecule. The ground
state wave function of BaF molecule is found with the help of the Relativistic
Effective Core Potential method followed by the restoration of molecular
four-component spinors in the core region of barium in the framework of a
non-variational procedure. Core polarization effects are included with the help
of the atomic Many Body Perturbation Theory for Barium atom. For the hyperfine
constants the accuracy of this method is about 5-10%.Comment: 8 pages, REVTEX, report at II International Symposium on Symmetries

Analysis of Structure Destroyed Metal after Diffusion Heat Treatment
It was accomplished research of the structure steel which carbonitriding and subsequent heat treatment was exposed for its cause's destruction to discover. For measure quality field of metal were used methods optical, appearing electronic microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Therefore one of the principal problems were research phase composition, grain and dislocation structure of a metal the gear teeth. Mechanism of rising hear cracks in the gear teeth on different stages her making and their trajectories of evolution were determined
The Simplest Piston Problem II: Inelastic Collisions
We study the dynamics of three particles in a finite interval, in which two
light particles are separated by a heavy ``piston'', with elastic collisions
between particles but inelastic collisions between the light particles and the
interval ends. A symmetry breaking occurs in which the piston migrates near one
end of the interval and performs small-amplitude periodic oscillations on a
logarithmic time scale. The properties of this dissipative limit cycle can be
understood simply in terms of an effective restitution coefficient picture.
Many dynamical features of the three-particle system closely resemble those of
the many-body inelastic piston problem.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures, 2-column revtex4 forma
