A generalized structure of Bell inequalities for bipartite arbitrary dimensional systems
We propose a generalized structure of Bell inequalities for arbitrary
d-dimensional bipartite systems, which includes the existing two types of Bell
inequalities introduced by Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu [Phys. Rev.
Lett. 88, 040404 (2002)] and Son-Lee-Kim [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 060406 (2006)].
We analyze Bell inequalities in terms of correlation functions and joint
probabilities, and show that the coefficients of correlation functions and
those of joint probabilities are in Fourier transform relations. We finally
show that the coefficients in the generalized structure determine the
characteristics of quantum violation and tightness.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
Relativistic r-modes in Slowly Rotating Neutron Stars: Numerical Analysis in the Cowling Approximation
We investigate the properties of relativistic -modes of slowly rotating
neutron stars by using a relativistic version of the Cowling approximation. In
our formalism, we take into account the influence of the Coriolis like force on
the stellar oscillations, but ignore the effects of the centrifugal like force.
For three neutron star models, we calculated the fundamental -modes with
and 3. We found that the oscillation frequency of the
fundamental -mode is in a good approximation given by , where is defined in the corotating frame at the
spatial infinity, and is the angular frequency of rotation of the
star. The proportional coefficient is only weakly dependent on
, but it strongly depends on the relativistic parameter ,
where and are the mass and the radius of the star. All the fundamental
-modes with computed in this study are discrete modes with distinct
regular eigenfunctions, and they all fall in the continuous part of the
frequency spectrum associated with Kojima's equation (Kojima 1998). These
relativistic -modes are obtained by including the effects of rotation higher
than the first order of so that the buoyant force plays a role, the
situation of which is quite similar to that for the Newtonian -modes.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures, accepted for publication in Ap
Liquid-Gas Phase Transition in Nuclear Equation of State
A canonical ensemble model is used to describe a caloric curve of nuclear
liquid-gas phase transition. Allowing a discontinuity in the freeze out density
from one spinodal density to another for a given initial temperature, the
nuclear liquid-gas phase transition can be described as first order. Averaging
over various freeze out densities of all the possible initial temperatures for
a given total reaction energy, the first order characteristics of liquid-gas
phase transition is smeared out to a smooth transition. Two experiments, one at
low beam energy and one at high beam energy show different caloric behaviors
and are discussed.Comment: 12 pages in Revtex including two Postscript figure
Nuclear Incompressibility at Finite Temperature and Entropy
Features of the nuclear isothermal incompressibility and adiabatic
incompressibility are investigated. The calculations are done at
zero and finite temperatures and non zero entropy and for several equations of
state. It is shown that decreases with increasing entropy while the
isothermal increases with increasing . A duality is found between
the adiabatic and the T=0 isothermal . Our isothermal
results are compared with a recent lattice Monte Carlo calculation done at
finite . The necessity of including correlations is shown if is to
have a peak with increasing as seen in the Monte Carlo calculations. A peak
in is linked to attractive scattering correlations in two nucleons
channel in the virial expansion in our approach which are Pauli blocked at low

Characterization of the residual stresses in spray-formed steels using neutron diffraction
Neutron diffraction was used to characterize the residual stresses in an as-sprayed tube-shaped steel preform. The measured residual stress distributions were compared with those simulated using finite element method by taking into account the effects of the thermal history, porosity and different phases of the sprayed preform. The porosity was measured using X-ray microcomputed tomography. The study revealed for the first time the correlation between the distribution of porosity and residual stress developed in the as-sprayed preform
