Isolated photon + jet photoproduction as a tool to constrain the gluon distribution in the proton and the photon

We analyse how the reaction gamma p -> gamma + jet + X can serve to constrain the gluon distributions. Our results are based on a code of partonic event generator type which includes full NLO corrections. We conclude that there are phase space domains in which either the gluon in the photon or the gluon in the proton give important contributions to the cross section, which should be observable in HERA experiments.Comment: 22 pages LaTeX, 14 figure

Quasi-2D dynamic jamming in cornstarch suspensions: visualization and force measurements

We report experiments investigating jamming fronts in a floating layer of cornstarch suspension. The suspension has a packing fraction close to jamming, which dynamically turns into a solid when impacted at a high speed. We show that the front propagates in both axial and transverse direction from the point of impact, with a constant ratio between the two directions of propagation of approximately 2. Inside the jammed solid, we observe an additional compression, which results from the increasing stress as the solid grows. During the initial growth of the jammed solid, we measure a force response that can be completely accounted for by added mass. Only once the jamming front reaches a boundary, the added mass cannot account for the measured force anymore. We do not, however, immediately see a strong force response as we would expect when compressing a jammed packing. Instead, we observe a delay in the force response on the pusher, which corresponds to the time it takes for the system to develop a close to uniform velocity gradient that spans the complete system.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure
