Lattice quark masses: a non-perturbative measurement
We discuss the renormalization of different definitions of quark masses in
the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover fermionic action. For the
improved case we give the correct relationship between the quark mass and the
hopping parameter. Using perturbative and non-perturbative renormalization
constants, we extract quark masses in the \MSbar scheme from Lattice QCD in
the quenched approximation at , and for both
actions. We find: \bar{m}^{\MSbar}(2 GeV)=5.7 \pm 0.1 \pm 0.8 MeV,
m_s^{\MSbar}(2GeV)= 130 \pm 2 \pm 18 MeV and m_c^{\MSbar}(2 GeV) = 1662\pm
30\pm 230 MeV.Comment: 21 pages, 4 figures, typos corrected, no result change
Quark masses and the chiral condensate with a non-perturbative renormalization procedure
We determine the quark masses and the chiral condensate in the MSbar scheme
at NNLO from Lattice QCD in the quenched approximation at beta=6.0, beta=6.2
and beta=6.4 using both the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover
fermion action. We extract these quantities using the Vector and the Axial Ward
Identities and non-perturbative values of the renormalization constants. We
compare the results obtained with the two methods and we study the O(a)
dependence of the quark masses for both actions.Comment: LATTICE98(spectrum), 3 pages, 1 figure, Edinburgh 98/1
Combined Relativistic and static analysis for all Delta B=2 operators
We analyse matrix elements of Delta B=2 operators by combining QCD results
with the ones obtained in the static limit of HQET. The matching of all the QCD
operators to HQET is made at NLO order. To do that we have to include the
anomalous dimension matrix up to two loops, both in QCD and HQET, and the one
loop matching for all the Delta B=2 operators. The matrix elements of these
operators are relevant for the prediction of the B-\bar B mixing, B_s meson
width difference and supersymmetric effects in Delta B=2 transitions.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure. Lattice2001(heavyquark
Experimental and computational study of the effect of temperature on the electro-polymerization process of Thiophene
Temperature effect on the nucleation and growth mechanisms (NGM) of poly(thiophene) (PTh) was investigated through experimental and computational tools. The computational simulation method was based on a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm. It reproduced key processes such as diffusion, oligomerization, and the precipitation of oligomers onto the electrode surface. Electrochemical synthesis conditions at temperatures between 263 and 303 K were optimized. The deconvolution of the i-t transients reflected two contributions: a progressive nucleation with three-dimensional growth controlled by diffusion and the other by charge transfer, PN3Ddif and PN3Dct, respectively. As temperature decreased, a diminution of the charge associated to each contribution was observed and the nucleation induction time increased. Experimental and computational evidence indicated that temperature does not change the nucleation and growth mechanism (NGM). This effect was ascribed to kinetic factors rather than to film conductivity. This work contrasts simulation and experimental evidence and demonstrates how computational simulations can help to understand the electrochemical process of conducting polymers formation.Fil: Camarada, MarĂa BelĂ©n.

Teaching Nanoscience and thinking nano at the macroscale: Nanocapsules of wisdom
One of the challenges for Nanotechnology is education, which is considered as a bottleneck for Nanotechnology development and implementation. This work contributes to nanoscale education by designing a wide variety of cutting-edge documentaries which assist high-educational level students in learning the underlying concepts of Nanoscience, the last advances and furure prospects. In addition, documentaries seek to bring and disseminate the scientific activity of Nanotechnology to society. In this sense, the secondary goals of the proposed approach nanotech activity are: 1) Transfer of knowledge generated in the nanotechnology field and 2) The promotion of scientific culture and innovation between the public objectives. Based on the results observed in students's assessment and You Tube metrics, it was concluded that the developed of nanoscale based documentaries enabled a fast and efficent comprehension of complex concepts related to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. In addition, the opinion of You Tube audience is highly promising and shows that You Tube and documentaries are an excellent channel to disseminate Nanoscience to society
Non-perturbative Renormalization of the Complete Basis of Four-fermion Operators and B-parameters
We present results on the B-parameters , and , at
, with the tree-level Clover action. The renormalization of the
complete basis of dimension-six four-fermion operators has been performed
non-perturbatively. Our results for and are in reasonable
agreement with those obtained with the (unimproved) Wilson action. This is not
the case for . We also discuss some subtleties arising from a
recently proposed modified definition of the B-parameters.Comment: Talk presented at Lattice '97, Edinburgh (UK), July 1997. LaTeX 3
