BFKL predictions at small x from k_T and collinear factorization viewpoints
Hard scattering processes involving hadrons at small are described by a
-factorization formula driven by a BFKL gluon. We explore the equivalence
of this description to a collinear-factorization approach in which the
anomalous dimensions and are expressed as
power series in , or to be precise where
is the moment index. In particular we confront the
collinear-factorization expansion with that extracted from the BFKL approach
with running coupling included.Comment: 11 LaTeX pages, 1 figure (uuencoded
A Pixel Vertex Tracker for the TESLA Detector
In order to fully exploit the physics potential of a e+e- linear collider,
such as TESLA, a Vertex Tracker providing high resolution track reconstruction
is required. Hybrid Silicon pixel sensors are an attractive sensor technology
option due to their read-out speed and radiation hardness, favoured in the high
rate TESLA environment, but have been so far limited by the achievable single
point space resolution. A novel layout of pixel detectors with interleaved
cells to improve their spatial resolution is introduced and the results of the
characterisation of a first set of test structures are discussed. In this note,
a conceptual design of the TESLA Vertex Tracker, based on hybrid pixel sensors
is presentedComment: 20 pages, 11 figure
AGK Cutting Rules and Multiple Scattering in Hadronic Collisions
We discuss the AGK rules for the exchange of an arbitrary number of reggeized
gluons in perturbative QCD in the high energy limit. Results include the
cancellation of corrections to single jet and double jet inclusive cross
sections, both for hard and soft rescattering contributions.Comment: 31 pages, latex, 20 figure
Properties of neutron doped multicrystalline silicon for solar cells
The technology of neutron transmutation doping of silicon wafers in MARIA nuclear research reactor is described. The studies of the radiation defects performed with positron annihilation confirmed that divacancies dominate in the irradiated material. Thermal treatment of irradiated silicon at 700-1000°C produces void - phosphorus complexes and void aggregates. The resistivity of the samples produced by neutron transmutation doping was found to be uniform within 2.5% limits. The severe reduction of the minority carrier lifetime in irradiated samples was confirmed
Quantization of the Chern-Simons Coupling Constant
We investigate the quantum consistency of p-form Maxwell-Chern-Simons
electrodynamics in 3p+2 spacetime dimensions (for p odd). These are the
dimensions where the Chern--Simons term is cubic, i.e., of the form FFA. For
the theory to be consistent at the quantum level in the presence of magnetic
and electric sources, we find that the Chern--Simons coupling constant must be
quantized. We compare our results with the bosonic sector of eleven dimensional
supergravity and find that the Chern--Simons coupling constant in that case
takes its corresponding minimal allowed value.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figure, JHEP3.cls. Equation (8.6) corrected and perfect

Inclusive 1-jet Production Cross Section at Small x in QCD: Multiple Interactions
We study corrections due to two Pomeron exchanges to the inclusive 1-jet
production cross section in the Regge limit of perturbative QCD for a finite
number of colors. By considering deep inelastic scattering on a weakly bound
two-nucleon system, we carefully follow the logic of the AGK cutting rules and
show, for the single inclusive cross section, that, due to the reggeization of
the gluon, modifications of the AGK cutting rules appear. As our main result,
we investigate and calculate the jet production vertex in the presence of a
two-Pomeron cut correction. Compared to previous studies, we find a novel
structure of the jet vertex which has not been considered before. We discuss a
few implications of this new piece.Comment: 42 pages, 22 figures, few references and comments added, to appear on

High resolution pixel detectors for e+e- linear colliders
The physics goals at the future e+e- linear collider require high performance
vertexing and impact parameter resolution. Two possible technologies for the
vertex detector of an experimental apparatus are outlined in the paper: an
evolution of the Hybrid Pixel Sensors already used in high energy physics
experiments and a new detector concept based on the monolithic CMOS sensors.Comment: 8 pages, to appear on the Proceedings of the International Workshop

Low-energy interaction of composite spin-half systems with scalar and vector fields
We consider a composite spin-half particle moving in spatially-varying scalar
and vector fields. The vector field is assumed to couple to a conserved charge,
but no assumption is made about either the structure of the composite or its
coupling to the scalar field. A general form for the piece of the spin-orbit
interaction of the composite with the scalar and vector fields which is
first-order in momentum transfer and second-order in the fields is
derived.Comment: 10 pages, RevTe
Analytic and Numerical Aspects of the Nonsingular Laplacian Representation of the Asymptotic Part of the Layered-Medium Green Function in the Mixed Potential Formulation
We report on developments in the evaluation of matrix elements of the electric and magnetic field operators involving the asymptotic (large transverse wave-number or small transverse distances) components of the mixed-potential Green's function of a layered medium. Subtracting these asymptotic terms significantly accelerates numerical computation of the Sommerfeld-type integrals required in constructing Green's function and then the matrix elements [1]
Chiral non-linear sigma-models as models for topological superconductivity
We study the mechanism of topological superconductivity in a hierarchical
chain of chiral non-linear sigma-models (models of current algebra) in one,
two, and three spatial dimensions. The models have roots in the 1D
Peierls-Frohlich model and illustrate how the 1D Frohlich's ideal conductivity
extends to a genuine superconductivity in dimensions higher than one. The
mechanism is based on the fact that a point-like topological soliton carries an
electric charge. We discuss a flux quantization mechanism and show that it is
essentially a generalization of the persistent current phenomenon, known in
quantum wires. We also discuss why the superconducting state is stable in the
presence of a weak disorder.Comment: 5 pages, revtex, no figure
