QED Radiative Corrections to the Non-annihilation Processes Using the Structure Function and the Parton Shower
Inclusion of the QED higher order radiative corrections in the two-photon
process, e+e- -> e+e- mu+mu-, is examined by means of the structure function
and the parton shower. Results are compared with the exact
calculations and give a good agreement. These two methods should be universally
applicable to any other non-annihilation processes like the single-W
productions in the e+e- collisions. In this case, however, the energy scale for
the evolution by the renormalization-group equation should be chosen properly
depending on the dominant diagrams for the given process. A method to find the
most suitable energy scale is proposed.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX, 5 figure
QED Radiative Correction for the Single-W Production using a Parton Shower Method
A parton shower method for the photonic radiative correction is applied to
the single W-boson production processes. The energy scale for the evolution of
the parton shower is determined so that the correct soft-photon emission is
reproduced. Photon spectra radiated from the partons are compared with those
from the exact matrix elements, and show a good agreement. Possible errors due
to a inappropriate energy-scale selection or due to the ambiguity of energy
scale determination are also discussed, particularly for the measurements on
triple gauge-couplings.Comment: 17 pages, 6 Postscript figure
Spin-charge mixing effects on resonant tunneling in a polarized Luttinger Liquid
We investigate spin-charge mixing effect on resonant tunneling in
spin-polarized Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid with double impurities. The mixing
arises from Fermi velocity difference between two spin species due to Zeeman
effect. Zero bias conductance is calculated as a function of gate voltage
, gate magnetic field , temperature and magnetic field
applied to the system. Mixing effect is shown to cause rotation of the lattice
pattern of the conductance peaks in plane, which can be
observed in experiments. At low temperatures, the contour shapes are classified
into three types, reflecting the fact that effective barrier potential is
renormalized towards ``perfect reflection'', ``perfect transmission'' and
magnetic field induced ``spin-filtering'', respectively.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, Sec.I and references largely changed, results
for a strong barrier limit added in a new section Sec.I
Multiple roles for endothelin in melanocyte development: Regulation of progenitor number and stimulation of differentiation
Melanocytes in the skin are derived from the embryonic neural crest, Recently, mutations in endothelin 3 and the endothelin receptor B genes have been shown to result in gross pigment defects, indicating that this signalling pathway is required for melanocyte development. We have examined the effects of endothelins on melanocyte progenitors in cultures of mouse neural crest. Firstly, they stimulate an increase in progenitor number and act synergistically with another factor, Steel factor, in the survival and proliferation of the progenitors. These findings are consistent with findings from mice with natural mutations in the endothelin receptor B gene, which show an early loss of melanocyte progenitors. Secondly, endothelins induce differentiation of the progenitors into fully mature pigmented melanocytes. This finding is consistent with the expression of endothelins in the skin of mice at the initiation of pigmentation. The melanocytes generated in endothelin-treated cultures also become responsive to alpha melanocyte-stimulating hormone, which then acts to regulate the activity of the pigmentation pathway. These findings indicate two key roles for endothelin in melanocyte development: regulation of expansion of the progenitor pool and differentiation of progenitors into mature melanocytes
Temperature dependence of infrared reflectance spectra of InN
To investigate both the optical and electrical properties of InN, we have measured the infrared reflectance spectra of InN thin
films and performed the fitting analyses of the infrared spectra to obtain not only phonon frequencies and the damping factors
but also the carrier concentration of InN. In this paper, we extend the aim of those analyses to the electron mobility and
demonstrate that the temperature dependence of the electron mobility can be discussed using the infrared reflectance spectra
