Field dependent quasiparticles in the infinite dimensional Hubbard model
We present dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) results for the local spectral
densities of the one- and two-particle response functions for the infinite
dimensional Hubbard model in a magnetic field. We look at the different regimes
corresponding to half-filling, near half-filling and well away from
half-filling, for intermediate and strong values of the local interaction .
The low energy results are analyzed in terms of quasiparticles with field
dependent parameters. The renormalized parameters are determined by two
different methods, both based on numerical renormalization group (NRG)
calculations, and we find good agreement. Away from half-filling the
quasiparticle weights, , differ according to the spin type
or . Using the renormalized parameters, we
show that DMFT-NRG results for the local longitudinal and transverse dynamic
spin susceptibilities in an arbitrary field can be understood in terms of
repeated scattering of these quasiparticles. We also check Luttinger's theorem
for the Hubbard model and find it to be satisfied in all parameter regimes and
for all values of the magnetic field.Comment: 14 pages, 21 figure
Soft-Collinear Messengers: A New Mode in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory
It is argued that soft-collinear effective theory for processes involving
both soft and collinear partons, such as exclusive B-meson decays, should
include a new mode in addition to soft and collinear fields. These
"soft-collinear messengers" can interact with both soft and collinear particles
without taking them far off-shell. They thus can communicate between the soft
and collinear sectors of the theory. The relevance of the new mode is
demonstrated with an explicit example, and the formalism incorporating the
corresponding quark and gluon fields into the effective Lagrangian is
developed.Comment: 22 pages, 5 figures. Extended Section 6, clarifying the relevance of
different types of soft-collinear interaction
Electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon in effective field theory
We calculate the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon to third chiral
order in manifestly Lorentz-invariant effective field theory. The rho and omega
mesons as well as the Delta(1232) resonance are included as explicit dynamical
degrees of freedom. To obtain a self-consistent theory with respect to
constraints we consider the proper relations among the couplings of the
effective Lagrangian. For the purpose of generating a systematic power
counting, the extended on-mass-shell renormalization scheme is applied in
combination with the small-scale expansion. The results for the electric and
magnetic Sachs form factors are analyzed in terms of experimental data and
compared to previous findings in the framework of chiral perturbation theory.
The pion-mass dependence of the form factors is briefly discussed.Comment: 26 pages, 9 figure
NaCl transport stimulates prostaglandin release in cultured renal epithelial (MDCK) cells
Prostaglandins (PGs) can modulate a variety of renal functions, including Na+ and Cl- reabsorption. However, it is not known if a direct interdependence exists between PG synthesis and transport activity. The present study was done to find out whether or not the rate of NaCl transport has an influence on PG synthesis in renal tubular cells. For our studies we used cultures of so-called high-resistance MDCK cells, which were originally derived from canine kidney. This cell type has a loop diuretic- and ouabain-sensitive NaCl transport that can be enhanced by activation of the adenylate cyclase (AC). In MDCK cell cultures we found that each state of increased NaCl transport during stimulation of AC by either epinephrine (10(-6) M), isoprenaline (10(-5) M), or forskolin (10(-5) M) was accompanied by a twofold increase in PG release. During inhibition of NaCl transport by furosemide (10(-4) M) or ouabain (2 X 10(-4) M), stimulation of AC failed to increase PGE2 release, whereas basal PG production was not inhibited by either furosemide or ouabain. Furthermore, PG formation during activation of AC was dependent on the concentration of extracellular Na+, whereas PG formation in the absence of activators of AC was independent of extracellular Na+. These results suggest that increased NaCl transport stimulates PG formation in cultures of high-resistance MDCK cells
A proof of factorization for B -> D pi
We prove that the matrix elements of four fermion operators mediating the
decay B^0 -> D^+ \pi^- and B^- -> D^0 \pi^- factor into the product of a form
factor describing the B -> D transition and a convolution of a short distance
coefficient with the nonperturbative pion light-cone wave function. This is
shown to all orders in alpha_s, up to corrections suppressed by factors of
1/mb, 1/mc, and 1/E_pi. It is not necessary to assume that the pion state is
dominated by the q-qbar Fock state.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figs, PRL versio
Project management techniques for highly integrated programs
The management and control of a representative, highly integrated high-technology project, in the X-29A aircraft flight test project is addressed. The X-29A research aircraft required the development and integration of eight distinct technologies in one aircraft. The project management system developed for the X-29A flight test program focuses on the dynamic interactions and the the intercommunication among components of the system. The insights gained from the new conceptual framework permitted subordination of departments to more functional units of decisionmaking, information processing, and communication networks. These processes were used to develop a project management system for the X-29A around the information flows that minimized the effects inherent in sampled-data systems and exploited the closed-loop multivariable nature of highly integrated projects
Transit Time and Charge Correlations of Single Photoelectron Events in R7081 PMTs
During the calibration phase of the photomultiplier tubes (PMT) for the
Double Chooz experiment the PMT response to light with single photoelectron
(SPE) intensity was analysed. With our setup we were able to measure the
combined transit time and charge response of the PMT and therefore we could
deconstruct and analyse all physical effects having an influence on the PMT
signal. Based on this analysis charge and time correlated probability density
functions were developed to include the PMT response in a Monte Carlo
simulation.Comment: minor changes by referee reques
