Anisotropic flow in 4.2A GeV/c C+Ta collisions
Anisotropic flow of protons and negative pions in 4.2A GeV/c C+Ta collisions
is studied using the Fourier analysis of azimuthal distributions. The protons
exhibit pronounced directed flow. Directed flow of pions is positive in the
entire rapidity interval and indicates that the pions are preferentially
emitted in the reaction plane from the target to the projectile. The elliptic
flow of protons and negative pions is close to zero. Comparison with the
quark-gluon-string model (QGSM) and relativistic transport model (ART 1.0) show
that they both yield a flow signature similar to the experimental data.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.

"It All Ended in an Unsporting Way": Serbian Football and the Disintegration of Yugoslavia, 1989-2006
Part of a wider examination into football during the collapse of Eastern European Communism between 1989 and 1991, this article studies the interplay between Serbian football and politics during the period of Yugoslavia's demise. Research utilizing interviews with individuals directly involved in the Serbian game, in conjunction with contemporary Yugoslav media sources, indicates that football played an important proactive role in the revival of Serbian nationalism. At the same time the Yugoslav conflict, twinned with a complex transition to a market economy, had disastrous consequences for football throughout the territories of the former Yugoslavia. In the years following the hostilities the Serbian game has suffered decline, major financial hardship and continuing terrace violence, resulting in widespread nostalgia for the pre-conflict era

Cascades with Adjoint Matter: Adjoint Transitions
A large class of duality cascades based on quivers arising from non-isolated
singularities enjoy adjoint transitions - a phenomenon which occurs when the
gauge coupling of a node possessing adjoint matter is driven to strong coupling
in a manner resulting in a reduction of rank in the non-Abelian part of the
gauge group and a subsequent flow to weaker coupling. We describe adjoint
transitions in a simple family of cascades based on a Z2-orbifold of the
conifold using field theory. We show that they are dual to Higgsing and produce
varying numbers of U(1) factors, moduli, and monopoles in a manner which we
calculate. This realizes a large family of cascades which proceed through
Seiberg duality and Higgsing. We briefly describe the supergravity limit of our
analysis, as well as a prescription for treating more general theories. A
special role is played by N=2 SQCD. Our results suggest that additional light
fields are typically generated when UV completing certain constructions of
spontaneous supersymmetry breaking into cascades, potentially leading to
instabilities.Comment: 29 pages, a few typos fixed, improved discussion, added figure; now

Structural and electrical transport properties of superconducting Au{0.7}In{0.3} films: A random array of superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) Josephson junctions
The structural and superconducting properties of Au{0.7}In{0.3} films, grown
by interdiffusion of alternating Au and In layers, have been studied. The films
were found to consist of a uniform solid solution of Au{0.9}In{0.1}, with
excess In precipitated in the form of In-rich grains of various Au-In phases
(with distinct atomic compositions), including intermetallic compounds. As the
temperature was lowered, these individual grains became superconducting at a
particular transition temperature (Tc), determined primarily by the atomic
composition of the grain, before a fully superconducting state of zero
resistance was established. From the observed onset Tc, it was inferred that up
to three different superconducting phases could have formed in these
Au{0.7}In{0.3} films, all of which were embedded in a uniform Au{0.9}In{0.1}
matrix. Among these phases, the Tc of a particular one, 0.8 K, is higher than
any previously reported for the Au-In system. The electrical transport
properties were studied down to low temperatures. The transport results were
found to be well correlated with those of the structural studies. The present
work suggests that Au{0.7}In{0.3} can be modeled as a random array of
superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) Josephson junctions. The
effect of disorder and the nature of the superconducting transition in these
Au{0.7}In{0.3} films are discussed.Comment: 8 text pages, 10 figures in one separate PDF file, submitted to PR
Effects of momentum conservation on the analysis of anisotropic flow
We present a general method for taking into account correlations due to
momentum conservation in the analysis of anisotropic flow, either by using the
two-particle correlation method or the standard flow vector method. In the
latter, the correlation between the particle and the flow vector is either
corrected through a redefinition (shift) of the flow vector, or subtracted
explicitly from the observed flow coefficient. In addition, momentum
conservation contributes to the reaction plane resolution. Momentum
conservation mostly affects the first harmonic in azimuthal distributions,
i.e., directed flow. It also modifies higher harmonics, for instance elliptic
flow, when they are measured with respect to a first harmonic event plane such
as one determined with the standard transverse momentum method. Our method is
illustrated by application to NA49 data on pion directed flow.Comment: RevTeX 4, 10 pages, 1 eps figure. Version accepted for publication in

Improving emerging European NMIsā capabilities in humidity measurement
The control and measurement of humidity is important for many industrial
applications and to ensure the appropriate storage of materials and products. Humidity
measurement techniques are diverse and each presents different challenges for use and
calibration for a range of pressures and gases. Over the past few years, the development of
humidity sensors and apparatus has matured to a level where traceable calibration is beneficial
to all industries in which humidity and moisture measurement and control are important. This
paper deals with a European project in which the overall objective is to develop or extend the
measurement and research capabilities of the participating emerging NMI/DIsā countries in the
field of humidity measurements, where access to these types of facilities is currently limited
