Gauge fields, ripples and wrinkles in graphene layers
We analyze elastic deformations of graphene sheets which lead to effective
gauge fields acting on the charge carriers. Corrugations in the substrate
induce stresses, which, in turn, can give rise to mechanical instabilities and
the formation of wrinkles. Similar effects may take place in suspended graphene
samples under tension.Comment: contribution to the special issue of Solid State Communications on

A REAL TIME MONITORING MODEL OF THE CALCIUM CARBONATE FOULING INDUCTION PERIOD BASED ON THE CONDUCTANCE TITRATION
A new method has been developed to monitor the calcium carbonate fouling induction period (CCFIP) in real time. Based on the conductance titration, this paper investigated the forming process of CCFIP by a staticdynamic combined simulation experiment unit. With the help of titration analysis (that is titrimetry), an accurate definition of CCFIP and the corresponding real time monitoring model were built up. The investigation results show that the proposed model applies not only to measure the CCFIP in real time, but also applies to an investigation of the influence of various factors on the CCFIP
Do the Barker Codes End?
A Barker code is a binary code with k^th autocorrelation <= 1 for all nonzero k.
At the workshop, the Barker code group split into four non-disjoint subgroups:
- An "algebra group", who explored symmetries of the search space that preserve the autocorrelations' magnitude.
- A "computing group", who explored methods for quickly finding binary codes with very good autocorrelation properties.
- A "statistics group", who explored ways to quantify what has been empirically observed about autocorrelation in the search space S_2^N.
- A "continuous group", who explored a non-discrete analogue of the problem of finding sequences with good autocorrelations
Z decays into light gluinos: a calculation based on unitarity
The Z boson can decay to a pair of light gluinos through loop-mediated
processes. Based on unitarity of the S-matrix, the imaginary part of the decay
amplitude is computed in the presence of a light bottom squark. This imaginary
part can provide useful information on the full amplitude. Implications are
discussed for a recently proposed light gluino and light bottom squark
scenario.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX, 3 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Quantum algebra in the mixed light pseudoscalar meson states
In this paper, we investigate the entanglement degrees of pseudoscalar meson
states via quantum algebra Y(su(3)). By making use of transition effect of
generators J of Y(su(3)), we construct various transition operators in terms of
J of Y(su(3)), and act them on eta-pion-eta mixing meson state. The
entanglement degrees of both the initial state and final state are calculated
with the help of entropy theory. The diagrams of entanglement degrees are
presented. Our result shows that a state with desired entanglement degree can
be achieved by acting proper chosen transition operator on an initial state.
This sheds new light on the connect among quantum information, particle physics
and Yangian algebra.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
Muon-spin rotation and magnetization studies of chemical and hydrostatic pressure effects in EuFe_{2}(As_{1-x}P_{x})_{2}
The magnetic phase diagram of EuFe(AsP) was
investigated by means of magnetization and muon-spin rotation studies as a
function of chemical (isovalent substitution of As by P) and hydrostatic
pressure. The magnetic phase diagrams of the magnetic ordering of the Eu and Fe
spins with respect to P content and hydrostatic pressure are determined and
discussed. The present investigations reveal that the magnetic coupling between
the Eu and the Fe sublattices strongly depends on chemical and hydrostatic
pressure. It is found that chemical and hydrostatic pressure have a similar
effect on the Eu and Fe magnetic order.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure
Pseudoscalar Higgs boson production associated with a single bottom quark at hadron colliders
We compute the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) SUSY-QCD corrections for
the associated production of a pseudoscalar Higgs boson with a bottom quark via
bottom-gluon fusion at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Fermilab
Tevatron. We find that the NLO QCD correction in the MSSM reaches
at the LHC and at the Tevatron in our chosen parameter space
