    Photonic production of B_c-mesons

    Full text link
    The cross section of the γγBc(Bc)bˉc\gamma \gamma \rightarrow B_c(B_c^*) \bar b c process is calculated. It is shown that near threshold the pseudoscalar state production is much suppressed with respect to the vector one. At large energies their ratio becaims σ(Bc)/sigma(Bc)4\sigma(B_c^*)/sigma(B_c)\sim 4. The process of heavy quark recombination dominates in the production of Bc(Bc)B_c(B_c^*) states. The fragmentation process bBcb\to B_c comes to play at high ptp_t values only, while its contribution will remain nondominant.Comment: Preprint IHEP 94-8

    Classification of integrable super-systems using the SsTools environment

    Full text link
    A classification problem is proposed for supersymmetric evolutionary PDE that satisfy the assumptions of nonlinearity and nondegeneracy. Four classes of nonlinear coupled boson-fermion systems are discovered under the homogeneity assumption |f|=|b|=|D_t|=1/2. The syntax of the Reduce package SsTools, which was used for intermediate computations, and the applicability of its procedures to the calculus of super-PDE are described.Comment: MSC 35Q53,37K05,37K10,81T40; PACS 02.30.Ik,02.70.Wz,12.60.Jv; Comput.

    Asymptotic solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the heat equation at a characteristic point

    No full text
    The Dirichlet problem for the heat equation in a bounded domain G⊂Rn+1 is characteristic because there are boundary points at which the boundary touches a characteristic hyperplane t=c, where c is a constant. For the first time, necessary and sufficient conditions on the boundary guaranteeing that the solution is continuous up to the characteristic point were established by Petrovskii (1934) under the assumption that the Dirichlet data are continuous. The appearance of Petrovskii’s paper was stimulated by the existing interest to the investigation of general boundary-value problems for parabolic equations in bounded domains. We contribute to the study of this problem by finding a formal solution of the Dirichlet problem for the heat equation in a neighborhood of a cuspidal characteristic boundary point and analyzing its asymptotic behavior.Задача Діріхлє для рівняння тєплопровідності в обмеженій області G⊂Rn+1 є характеристичною, оскільки існують граничні точки, в яких границя є дотичною до характеристичної гіперплощини t=c, де c є сталою. I. Г. Петров-ський (1934) уперше встановив необхідні та достатні умови на границю, що гарантують неперервність розв'язку аж до характеристичної точки за умови, що дані Діріхле є неперервними. Поява даної роботи була викликана постійним інтересом до вивчення загальних граничних задач для рівнянь параболічного типу в обмежених областях. Наш внесок у вивчення цієї проблеми полягає в побудові формального розв'язку задачі Діріхле для рівняння теплопровідності в околі гострокінцевої характеристичної граничної точки та дослідженні його асимптотичного характеру

    Mass spectra of doubly heavy Omega_QQ' baryons

    Full text link
    We evaluate the masses of baryons composed of two heavy quarks and a strange quark with account for spin-dependent splittings in the framework of potential model with the KKO potential motivated by QCD with a three-loop beta-function for the effective charge consistent with both the perturbative limit at short distances and linear confinement term at long distances between the quarks. The factorization of dynamics is supposed and explored in the nonrelativistic Schroedinger equation for the motion in the system of two heavy quarks constituting the doubly heavy diquark and the strange quark interaction with the diquark. The limits of approach, its justification and uncertainties are discussed. Excited quasistable states are classified by the quantum numbers of heavy diquark composed by the heavy quarks of the same flavor.Comment: 14 pages, revtex4-file, 3 eps-figures, 5 tables, typos correcte

    The basic technical principles and means of increase in betavoltaitic elements effectiveness have been analyzed by comparing with their closest analogue – photoelectric semiconductor converters. The geometric parameters of radiation sources for these elements and their capacities have been estimated. It is shown the radiation source 63Ni foil thickness should not exceed a few micrometers, and maximum energy conversion efficiency can achieve ~ 16 %

    Supersymmetric Representations and Integrable Fermionic Extensions of the Burgers and Boussinesq Equations

    No full text
    We construct new integrable coupled systems of N = 1 supersymmetric equations and present integrable fermionic extensions of the Burgers and Boussinesq equations. Existence of infinitely many higher symmetries is demonstrated by the presence of recursion operators. Various algebraic methods are applied to the analysis of symmetries, conservation laws, recursion operators, and Hamiltonian structures. A fermionic extension of the Burgers equation is related with the Burgers flows on associative algebras. A Gardner's deformation is found for the bosonic super-field dispersionless Boussinesq equation, and unusual properties of a recursion operator for its Hamiltonian symmetries are described. Also, we construct a three-parametric supersymmetric system that incorporates the Boussinesq equation with dispersion and dissipation but never retracts to it for any values of the parameters

    Perspectives of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Production in the Arc Discharge Process

    Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) promise wide applications in many technical fields. As a result purified SWNT material is sold now on the West market at more than $1000 per 1 gram. Thus developing an effective technology for SWNTs production rises to a very important scientific problem. The perspectives of three existing methods providing raw material in the technology of SWNT production have been analyzed. They are i) pulsed laser evaporation of graphite/metal composites, ii) evaporation of graphite electrodes with metal content in the arc discharge process, and iii) catalytic decomposition of the mixture of CO and metal carbonyl catalyst precursor. The observed dynamics of SWNT market points to replacing the laser method of SWNTs production by the arc process. The conclusion has been made that the technology based on the arc process will be the major one for the fabrication of purified SWNTs at least for the next five years. A reliable estimation of a low price limit of SWNTs was derived from a comparison of two technologies based on the arc discharge process: the first one is the production of SWNTs and the second one is the production of a fullerene mixture С60 + С70. The main conclusion was made that the price of purified SWNTs should always be more by 2-3 times the price of fullerene mixture. The parameters of a lab-scale technology for the production of purified SWNTs are listed. A large-scale application of the developed technology is expected to reduce the price of purified SWNTs by approximately ten times. The methods now employed for the characterization of products containing SWNTs are briefly observed. It is concluded that electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, absorption and Raman spectroscopy, measurement of the specific surface aria, optical microscopy - each in separation is not enough for extensive characterization of a sample containing SWNTs, and all these methods should be used together
