Finite temperature effects on the antikaon optical potential
By solving the Bethe-Goldstone equation, we have obtained the
optical potential from the effective interaction in nuclear matter
at T=0. We have extended the model by incorporating finite temperature effects
in order to adapt our calculations to the experimental conditions in heavy-ion
collisions. In the rank of densities (), the finite temperature
optical potential shows a smooth behaviour if we compare it to the
T=0 outcome. Our model has also been applied to the study of the ratio between
and produced at GSI with around 70 MeV. Our results point at
the necessity of introducing an attractive optical potential.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures. Contribution to the proceedings of Mesons & Light

High energy scattering in 2+1 QCD
High energy scattering in 2+1 QCD is studied using the recent approach of
Verlinde and Verlinde. We calculate the color singlet part of the quark-quark
scattering exactly within this approach, and discuss some physical implication
of this result. We also demonstrate, by two independent methods, that
reggeization fails for the color singlet channel. We briefly comment on the
problem in 3+1 QCD.Comment: 20 pages, references adde
Irreversible and reversible modes of operation of deterministic ratchets
We discuss a problem of optimization of the energetic efficiency of a simple
rocked ratchet. We concentrate on a low-temperature case in which the
particle's motion in a ratchet potential is deterministic. We show that the
energetic efficiency of a ratchet working adiabatically is bounded from above
by a value depending on the form of ratchet potential. The ratchets with
strongly asymmetric potentials can achieve ideal efficiency of unity without
approaching reversibility. On the other hand we show that for any form of the
ratchet potential a set of time-protocols of the outer force exist under which
the operation is reversible and the ideal value of efficiency is also achieved.
The mode of operation of the ratchet is still quasistatic but not adiabatic.
The high values of efficiency can be preserved even under elevated
temperatures

Generalized stochastic Schroedinger equations for state vector collapse
A number of authors have proposed stochastic versions of the Schr\"odinger
equation, either as effective evolution equations for open quantum systems or
as alternative theories with an intrinsic collapse mechanism. We discuss here
two directions for generalization of these equations. First, we study a general
class of norm preserving stochastic evolution equations, and show that even
after making several specializations, there is an infinity of possible
stochastic Schr\"odinger equations for which state vector collapse is provable.
Second, we explore the problem of formulating a relativistic stochastic
Schr\"odinger equation, using a manifestly covariant equation for a quantum
field system based on the interaction picture of Tomonaga and Schwinger. The
stochastic noise term in this equation can couple to any local scalar density
that commutes with the interaction energy density, and leads to collapse onto
spatially localized eigenstates. However, as found in a similar model by
Pearle, the equation predicts an infinite rate of energy nonconservation
proportional to , arising from the local double commutator in
the drift term.Comment: 24 pages Plain TeX. Minor changes, some new references. To appear in

KK Parity in Warped Extra Dimension
We construct models with a Kaluza-Klein (KK) parity in a five- dimensional
warped geometry, in an attempt to address the little hierarchy problem present
in setups with bulk Standard Model fields. The lightest KK particle (LKP) is
stable and can play the role of dark matter. We consider the possibilities of
gluing two identical slices of 5D AdS in either the UV (IR-UV-IR model) or the
IR region (UV-IR-UV model) and discuss the model-building issues as well as
phenomenological properties in both cases. In particular, we find that the
UV-IR-UV model is not gravitationally stable and that additional mechanisms
might be required in the IR-UV-IR model in order to address flavor issues.
Collider signals of the warped KK parity are different from either the
conventional warped extra dimension without KK parity, in which the new
particles are not necessarily pair-produced, or the KK parity in flat universal
extra dimensions, where each KK level is nearly degenerate in mass. Dark matter
and collider properties of a TeV mass KK Z gauge boson as the LKP are
discussed.Comment: 35 pages, 11 figure
Análise de processos de oxidação com Trans-LC para fabricação de células solares
Apesar do filme para passivação padrão da indústria de células solares atual ser SiNx, as últimas tendências do mercado fazem com que seja necessário reavaliar o SiO2 para passivação das superfícies de células solares. Para crescer estes óxidos, no entanto, são necessárias etapas de processamento em altas temperaturas, que deixam as lâminas de silício suscetíveis a contaminações metálicas. Para evitar essa contaminação, o composto orgânico Trans-LC é utilizado para limpeza do tubo de oxidação. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a eficácia deste composto para limpeza dos tubos e determinar a qualidade da passivação que os óxidos produzidos desta forma proporcionam para as lâminas de Si. Observou-se que as limpezas realizadas não foram capazes de prevenir a contaminação de lâminas de Si de alto tempo de vida inicial. Porém, o Trans-LC foi suficientemente eficaz para oxidações realizadas em lâminas de baixo tempo de vida dos portadores minoritários.Even though the standard film for passivation currently utilized in the silicon solar cell industry is SiNx, the late tendencies of the market make it necessary to reevaluate the SiO2 for surface passivation of solar cells. In order to grow these oxides, however, high-temperature processing steps are necessary, which leave the wafers susceptible to metallic contamination. To avoid this contamination, the organic compound Trans-LC is used to clean the oxidation tube. The goal of this work is to evaluate the efficacy of this compound for the tube cleaning and determine the passivation quality that the oxides produced this way provide to the Si wafers. It was observed that the cleanings were not capable to prevent the contamination of high initial lifetime Si wafers. However, the Trans-LC was sufficiently effective for oxidations realized on wafers with low initial minority carrier lifetime.Tema 4: Energía solar, conversión fotovoltaica.Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanism
