De grondgebonden landbouw in Zuid-Holland; Structuur en ontwikkeling

Dit rapport is gemaakt in opdracht van de provincie Zuid-Holland en gaat in op de huidige structurele situatie in de grondgebonden landbouw in Zuid-Holland en de opgetreden ontwikkelingen in de afgelopen tien jaar. Ook wordt een beeld geschetst van de economische omvang van het grondgebonden agrocomplex en wordt aandacht besteed aan een aantal ontwikkelingen op de grondmarkt. This report was commissioned by the province of Zuid-Holland (South Holland) and examines the current structural situation in land-based farming in Zuid-Holland, as well as the developments which have appeared over the past ten years. In addition it describes the economic significance of the land-based agro-complex, and attention is devoted to a number of developments in the land market

Anomalous Negative Magnetoresistance Caused by Non-Markovian Effects

A theory of recently discovered anomalous low-field magnetoresistance is developed for the system of two-dimensional electrons scattered by hard disks of radius $a,$ randomly distributed with concentration $n.$ For small magnetic fields the magentoresistance is found to be parabolic and inversely proportional to the gas parameter, $\delta \rho_{xx}/\rho \sim - (\omega_c \tau)^2 / n a^2.$ With increasing field the magnetoresistance becomes linear $\delta \rho_{xx}/\rho \sim - \omega_c \tau$ in a good agreement with the experiment and numerical simulations.Comment: 4 pages RevTeX, 5 figure

Antideuteron and deuteron production in mid-central Pb+Pb collisions at 158AA GeV

Production of deuterons and antideuterons was studied by the NA49 experiment in the 23.5% most central Pb+Pb collisions at the top SPS energy of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=17.3 GeV. Invariant yields for $\bar{d}$ and $d$ were measured as a function of centrality in the center-of-mass rapidity range $-1.2<y<-0.6$. Results for $\bar{d}(d)$ together with previously published $\bar{p}(p)$ measurements are discussed in the context of the coalescence model. The coalescence parameters $B_2$ were deduced as a function of transverse momentum $p_t$ and collision centrality.Comment: 9 figure

High p_T Spectra of Identified Particles Produced in Pb+Pb Collisions at 158A GeV Beam Energy

Results of the NA49 collaboration on the production of hadrons with large transverse momentum in Pb+Pb collisions at 158A GeV beam energy are presented. A range up to p_T = 4 GeV/c is covered. The nuclear modification factor R_CP is extracted for pions, kaons and protons, and the baryon to meson ratios p/pi+, pbar/pi- and Lambda/K^0_s are studied. All results are compared to other measurements at SPS and RHIC and to theoretical calculations.Comment: Submitted to J. Phys.

Strangeness production at SPS energies

We present a summary of measurements of strange particles performed by the experiment NA49 in central and minimum bias Pb+Pb collisions in the beam energy range 20A - 158A GeV. New results on Xi production in central Pb+Pb collisions and on Lambda, Xi production in minimum bias collisions are shown. Transverse mass spectra and rapidity distributions of strange particles at different energies are compared. The energy dependence of the particle yields and ratios is discussed. NA49 measurements of the Lambda and Xi enhancement factors are shown for the first time.Comment: Submitted to J. Phys.

Results on correlations and fluctuations from NA49

The large acceptance and high momentum resolution as well as the significant particle identification capabilities of the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS allow for a broad study of fluctuations and correlations in hadronic interactions. In the first part recent results on event-by-event charge and p_t fluctuations are presented. Charge fluctuations in central Pb+Pb reactions are investigated at three different beam energies (40, 80, and 158 AGeV), while for the p_t fluctuations the focus is put on the system size dependence at 158 AGeV. In the second part recent results on Bose Einstein correlations of h-h- pairs in minimum bias Pb+Pb reactions at 40 and 158 AGeV, as well as of K+K+ and K-K- pairs in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 AGeV are shown. Additionally, other types of two particle correlations, namely pi p, Lambda p, and Lambda Lambda correlations, have been measured by the NA49 experiment. Finally, results on the energy and system size dependence of deuteron coalescence are discussed.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figures, Presented at Quark Matter 2002, Nantes, France, Corrected error in Eq.
