Resonances in twisted quantum waveguides
In this paper we consider embedded eigenvalues of a Schroedinger Hamiltonian
in a waveguide induced by a symmetric perturbation. It is shown that these
eigenvalues become unstable and turn into resonances after twisting of the
waveguide. The perturbative expansion of the resonance width is calculated for
weakly twisted waveguides and the influence of the twist on resonances in a
concrete model is discussed in detail.Comment: 15 Page

Heavy Quark Production in the ACOT Scheme Beyond NLO
We analyze the properties of the ACOT scheme for heavy quark production and
make use of the MS-Bar massless results at NNLO and N3LO for the structure
functions F2 and FL in neutral current deep-inelastic scattering to estimate
the higher order corrections. The dominant heavy quark mass effects at higher
orders can be taken into account using the massless Wilson coefficients
together with an appropriate slow-rescaling prescription implementing the phase
space constraints. Combining the exact ACOT scheme at NLO with these
expressions should provide a good approximation to the full calculation in the
ACOT scheme at NNLO and N3LO.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures. Presented at DIS12, March 2012, Bonn, German
A Hybrid Scheme for Heavy Flavors: Merging the FFNS and VFNS
We introduce a Hybrid Variable Flavor Number Scheme for heavy flavors,
denoted H-VFNS, which incorporates the advantages of both the traditional
Variable Flavor Number Scheme (VFNS) as well as the Fixed Flavor Number Scheme
(FFNS). By including an explicit -dependence in both the Parton
Distribution Functions (PDFs) and the strong coupling constant , we
generate coexisting sets of PDFs and for at any
scale , that are related analytically by the
matching conditions. The H-VFNS resums the heavy quark contributions and
provides the freedom to choose the optimal for each particular data set.
Thus, we can fit selected HERA data in a FFNS framework, while retaining the
benefits of the VFNS to analyze LHC data at high scales. We illustrate how such
a fit can be implemented for the case of both HERA and LHC data.Comment: 15 pages, 11 figures, updated to match journa
CTEQ nuclear parton distribution functions
We show for the first time preliminary results of nuclear parton distribution
function analysis of charged lepton DIS and Drell-Yan data within the CTEQ
framework including error PDFs. We compare our error estimates to estimates of
different nPDF groups.Comment: 5 pages, to appear in the proceedings of XXI International Workshop

Update on nCTEQ PDFs: nuclear PDF uncertainties and LHC applications
We present updated nCTEQ nuclear parton distribution functions with errors
including pion production data from RHIC. We compare them with the results of
other groups and present selected LHC applications.Comment: Presented at DIS2014, 28 April - 2 May 2014, Warsaw, Poland.
