Large deviations for a damped telegraph process
In this paper we consider a slight generalization of the damped telegraph
process in Di Crescenzo and Martinucci (2010). We prove a large deviation
principle for this process and an asymptotic result for its level crossing
probabilities (as the level goes to infinity). Finally we compare our results
with the analogous well-known results for the standard telegraph process
High yield fusion in a Staged Z-pinch
We simulate fusion in a Z-pinch; where the load is a xenon-plasma liner
imploding onto a deuterium-tritium plasma target and the driver is a 2 MJ, 17
MA, 95 ns risetime pulser. The implosion system is modeled using the dynamic,
2-1/2 D, radiation-MHD code, MACH2. During implosion a shock forms in the Xe
liner, transporting current and energy radially inward. After collision with
the DT, a secondary shock forms pre-heating the DT to several hundred eV.
Adiabatic compression leads subsequently to a fusion burn, as the target is
surrounded by a flux-compressed, intense, azimuthal-magnetic field. The
intense-magnetic field confines fusion -particles, providing an
additional source of ion heating that leads to target ignition. The target
remains stable up to the time of ignition. Predictions are for a neutron yield
of and a thermonuclear energy of 84 MJ, that is, 42 times
greater than the initial, capacitor-stored energy
Chaos and Universality in a Four-Dimensional Spin Glass
We present a finite size scaling analysis of Monte Carlo simulation results
on a four dimensional Ising spin glass. We study chaos with both coupling and
temperature perturbations, and find the same chaos exponent in each case. Chaos
is investigated both at the critical temperature and below where it seems to be
more efficient (larger exponent). Dimension four seems to be above the critical
dimension where chaos with temperature is no more present in the critical
region. Our results are consistent with the Gaussian and bimodal coupling
distributions being in the same universality class.Comment: 11 pages, including 6 postscript figures. Latex with revtex macro
Study of Chirality in the Two-Dimensional XY Spin Glass
We study the chirality in the Villain form of the XY spin glass in
two--dimensions by Monte Carlo simulations. We calculate the chiral-glass
correlation length exponent and find that
in reasonable agreement with
earlier studies. This indicates that the chiral and phase variables are
decoupled on long length scales and diverge as with {\em different}
exponents, since the spin-glass correlation length exponent was found, in
earlier studies, to be about 1.0.Comment: 4 pages. Latex file and 4 embedded postscript files are included in a
self-unpacking compressed tar file. A postscript version is available at
