Toward a New Phenomenon: Super-Cerenkov Radiation

In this letter a new coherent gamma emission mechanism, called Super-Cerenkov radiation, is introduced. The SCR is expected to take place when the charged particle is moving in a medium with a phase velocity satisfying the super-coherent condition. The results on an experimental test of SCR in RICH detector are presented.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure

Super-Cerenkov Radiation: A new phenomenon useful for RICH Detectors

In this contribution the Super-Cerenkov radiation (SCR) as a new phenomenon which includes in a more general and exact form the usual Cerenkov effect is presented. The Super-Cerenkov effect at Cerenkov threshold in the radiators of RICH detectors is investigated. The results on the experimental test of the super- Cerenkov coherence conditions are presented. The SCR-predictions are verified experimentally with high accuracy chi/n_{dof}=1.47 by the data on the Cerenkov ring radii of electron, muon, pion and kaon, all measured with RICH detector. Moreover, it is shown that the Super-Cerenkov phenomenon can explain not only subthreshold CR but also the observed secondary rings (or anomalous Cerenkov radiation) observed at CERN SPS accelerator. The influence of medium on the particle propagation properties is also estimated and the refractive properties of electrons, muons, pions, in the radiator C4F10Ar are obtained. So, we proved that the refractive indices of the charged elementary particles in medium are also very important for the RICH detectors, especially at low and intermediate energies.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure

The Steps to Managerial Excellence

Without any doubt, relaunching Romanian economy depends very much on SME sector getting out of the crisis, sector which has the main contribution to GDP production, to state budget income and human resources employment. Starting from these premises, based on scientific research performed in the framework of the VALAD* project, we present in the following a group of coordinates and markers which, in our opinion, are capable to relaunch indigenous SME sector. Elements contained in this study are complementary to the ones presented in the article “Policy coordinates concerning SME sector development in Romania”, published in the previous issue of this magazine.crisis; SME sector; SME’s management; entrepreneurship.

Production and Producer’s Behavior in a Competitive Environment

The consumer goes to market in order to buy the products that are useful for him or simply to buy something which makes him happy. In other words he tries to satisfy his basic needs (such as food, clothing etc) as well as the secondary ones. The producer comes to market with the products requested by the consumers and tries to sell it at a price that would cover production costs and obtain a profit. The manufacturer must meet the consumer desires offering him those products that have desirable characteristics, have a nice design, etc. The manufacturer has a multitude of ways to promote his products so that they can be sold and not kept in stock, there by wasting a substantial amount of resources.manufacturing; competitive environment; comparative advantage; competitive behavior; single market.

A managerial modernization model in crisis conditions

The improvement of the economic performances of Romanian enterprises facing crisis conditions could be achieved by means of promoting and implementing a range of managerial modernization methods. Among them we mention several factors pertaining to strategic management: redesigning the managerial system, implementing methodological management – with an emphasis on profit center management and other managerial tools which ensure process and organizational flexibility – and professionalizing the management and managers. Based on the aforementioned factors, the model we put forth aims at increasing the management’s role in achieving reasonable levels of efficiency and effectiveness.managerial modernization, managerial redesign, methodological management, strategic management, profit center management, performance.

A New Optimal Bound on Logarithmic Slope of Elastic Hadron-Hadron Scattering

In this paper we prove a new optimal bound on the logarithmic slope of the elastic slope when: elastic cross section and differential cross sections in forward and backward directions are known from experimental data. The results on the experimental tests of this new optimal bound are presented in Sect. 3 for the principal meson-nucleon elastic scatterings: pion-nucleon, kaon-nucleon at all available energies. Then we have shown that the saturation of this optimal bound is observed with high accuracy practically at all available energies in meson-nucleon scattering.Comment: format revtex4, 4 pages, 1 figur

Generalized exponents of small representations. I

This is the first paper in a sequence devoted to giving manifestly non-negative formulas for generalized exponents of small representations in all types. The main part of this paper illustrates the overall structure of the argument on root systems of type A and discusses the relationship with the Lascoux-Schutzenberger charge formula.Comment: 30 p
