Electrically switchable, Ka-band slotted waveguide antenna array system
An original electrically switchable, Ka-band slotted waveguide antenna array system has been recently developed, produced, and
tested. The system consists of four identical sections, which are connected to a radar transmitter/receiver by means of a high-power,
multipole p-i-n switch. The introduced p-i-n switch enables for a fast electrical scanning of the antenna beam what essentially extends
possible areas of the antenna system application. The antenna system is used in a helicopter collision avoidance, surveillance, and weather
radar. This paper describes design features of the antenna system, its main characteristics, results of its testing, and the antenna integration in
the radar.У роботі представлено оригінальну конструкцію хвилевідно-щілинної антенної системи Ka-діапазону з електричним скануванням променя.

Deformed Oscillator Algebras and Higher-Spin Gauge Interactions of Matter Fields in 2+1 Dimensions
We formulate a non-linear system of equations which describe higher-spin
gauge interactions of massive matter fields in 2+1 dimensional space-time and
explain some properties of the deformed oscillator algebra which underlies this
formulation. In particular we show that the parameter of mass of matter
fields is related to the deformation parameter in this algebra.Comment: LaTex, 12 pages, no figures; Invited talk at the International

Exact conserved quantities on the cylinder I: conformal case
The nonlinear integral equations describing the spectra of the left and right
(continuous) quantum KdV equations on the cylinder are derived from integrable
lattice field theories, which turn out to allow the Bethe Ansatz equations of a
twisted ``spin -1/2'' chain. A very useful mapping to the more common nonlinear
integral equation of the twisted continuous spin chain is found. The
diagonalization of the transfer matrix is performed. The vacua sector is
analysed in detail detecting the primary states of the minimal conformal models
and giving integral expressions for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix.
Contact with the seminal papers \cite{BLZ, BLZ2} by Bazhanov, Lukyanov and
Zamolodchikov is realised. General expressions for the eigenvalues of the
infinite-dimensional abelian algebra of local integrals of motion are given and
explicitly calculated at the free fermion point.Comment: Journal version: references added and minor corrections performe

System Size and Energy Dependence of Jet-Induced Hadron Pair Correlation Shapes in Cu+Cu and Au+Au Collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 and 62.4 GeV
We present azimuthal angle correlations of intermediate transverse momentum
(1-4 GeV/c) hadrons from {dijets} in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) =
62.4 and 200 GeV. The away-side dijet induced azimuthal correlation is
broadened, non-Gaussian, and peaked away from \Delta\phi=\pi in central and
semi-central collisions in all the systems. The broadening and peak location
are found to depend upon the number of participants in the collision, but not
on the collision energy or beam nuclei. These results are consistent with sound
or shock wave models, but pose challenges to Cherenkov gluon radiation models.Comment: 464 authors from 60 institutions, 6 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables.

Improved Measurement of Double Helicity Asymmetry in Inclusive Midrapidity pi^0 Production for Polarized p+p Collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV
We present an improved measurement of the double helicity asymmetry for pi^0
production in polarized proton-proton scattering at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV employing
the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The
improvements to our previous measurement come from two main factors: Inclusion
of a new data set from the 2004 RHIC run with higher beam polarizations than
the earlier run and a recalibration of the beam polarization measurements,
which resulted in reduced uncertainties and increased beam polarizations. The
results are compared to a Next to Leading Order (NLO) perturbative Quantum
Chromodynamics (pQCD) calculation with a range of polarized gluon
distributions.Comment: 389 authors, 4 pages, 2 tables, 1 figure. Submitted to Phys. Rev. D,

Formation of dense partonic matter in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC: Experimental evaluation by the PHENIX collaboration
Extensive experimental data from high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions were
recorded using the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC). The comprehensive set of measurements from the first three years of
RHIC operation includes charged particle multiplicities, transverse energy,
yield ratios and spectra of identified hadrons in a wide range of transverse
momenta (p_T), elliptic flow, two-particle correlations, non-statistical
fluctuations, and suppression of particle production at high p_T. The results
are examined with an emphasis on implications for the formation of a new state
of dense matter. We find that the state of matter created at RHIC cannot be
described in terms of ordinary color neutral hadrons.Comment: 510 authors, 127 pages text, 56 figures, 1 tables, LaTeX. Submitted

Physics searches at the LHC
With the LHC up and running, the focus of experimental and theoretical high
energy physics will soon turn to an interpretation of LHC data in terms of the
physics of electroweak symmetry breaking and the TeV scale. We present here a
broad review of models for new TeV-scale physics and their LHC signatures. In
addition, we discuss possible new physics signatures and describe how they can
be linked to specific models of physics beyond the Standard Model. Finally, we
illustrate how the LHC era could culminate in a detailed understanding of the
underlying principles of TeV-scale physics.Comment: 184 pages, 55 figures, 14 tables, hundreds of references; scientific
