Avoidance motivation has been associated with a wide range of negative psychological consequences, such as performance decrements, resource depletion, and reduced well-being, particularly in the long run. Here, we discuss the processes underlying these negative consequences. We put forward a research agenda, suggesting how knowledge of these processes can be translated into strategies that reduce the negative consequences of avoidance motivation. We propose and review initial support for three such strategies: (a) removing stressors, (b) providing structure and focus, and (c) creating opportunities to replenish and reinvigorate
Instability of two interacting, quasi-monochromatic waves in shallow water
We study the nonlinear interactions of waves with a doubled-peaked power
spectrum in shallow water. The starting point is the prototypical equation for
nonlinear uni-directional waves in shallow water, i.e. the Korteweg de Vries
equation. Using a multiple-scale technique two defocusing coupled Nonlinear
Schr\"odinger equations are derived. We show analytically that plane wave
solutions of such a system can be unstable to small perturbations. This
surprising result suggests the existence of a new energy exchange mechanism
which could influence the behaviour of ocean waves in shallow water.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Snowmass White Paper: Prospects of CP-violation measurements with the Higgs boson at future experiments
The search for CP violation in interactions of the Higgs boson with either
fermions or bosons provides attractive reference measurements in the Particle
Physics Community Planning Exercise (a.k.a. "Snowmass"). Benchmark measurements
of CP violation provide a limited and well-defined set of parameters that could
be tested at the proton, electron-positron, photon, and muon colliders, and
compared to those achieved through study of virtual effects in electric dipole
moment measurements. We review the current status of these CP-sensitive studies
and provide projections to future measurements.Comment: Snowmass White Paper. 23 pages, 6 figure
Modulational instability of bright solitary waves in incoherently coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations
We present a detailed analysis of the modulational instability (MI) of
ground-state bright solitary solutions of two incoherently coupled nonlinear
Schr\"odinger equations. Varying the relative strength of cross-phase and
self-phase effects we show existence and origin of four branches of MI of the
two-wave solitary solutions. We give a physical interpretation of our results
in terms of the group velocity dispersion (GVD) induced polarization dynamics
of spatial solitary waves. In particular, we show that in media with normal GVD
spatial symmetry breaking changes to polarization symmetry breaking when the
relative strength of the cross-phase modulation exceeds a certain threshold
value. The analytical and numerical stability analyses are fully supported by
an extensive series of numerical simulations of the full model.Comment: Physical Review E, July, 199
Constraints on the χ_(c1) versus χ_(c2) polarizations in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV
The polarizations of promptly produced χ_(c1) and χ_(c2) mesons are studied using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, in proton-proton collisions at √s=8 TeV. The χ_c states are reconstructed via their radiative decays χ_c → J/ψγ, with the photons being measured through conversions to e⁺e⁻, which allows the two states to be well resolved. The polarizations are measured in the helicity frame, through the analysis of the χ_(c2) to χ_(c1) yield ratio as a function of the polar or azimuthal angle of the positive muon emitted in the J/ψ → μ⁺μ⁻ decay, in three bins of J/ψ transverse momentum. While no differences are seen between the two states in terms of azimuthal decay angle distributions, they are observed to have significantly different polar anisotropies. The measurement favors a scenario where at least one of the two states is strongly polarized along the helicity quantization axis, in agreement with nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics predictions. This is the first measurement of significantly polarized quarkonia produced at high transverse momentum
