Monte-Carlo Generator Photon Jets for the process e+e- -> gamma gamma

Monte-Carlo generator with photon jets radiation in collinear regions for the process \eegg is described in detail. Radiative corrections in the first order of $\alpha$ are treated exactly. Large leading logarithmic corrections coming from collinear regions are taken into account in all orders of $\alpha$ by applying the Structure Function approach. Theoretical precision of the cross section with radiative corrections is estimated to be 0.2%. This process is considered as an additional tool to measure luminosity in forthcoming experiments with the CMD-3 detector at the $e^+e^-$ collider VEPP-2000.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

Order parameter dependence of the viscosity coefficients of a biaxial nematic liquid crystal

We derive expressions for the order parameter dependence of the viscosity coefficients of a biaxial nematic liquid crystal by comparing its dissipation function expressed in terms of directors with that expressed in terms of order tensors. The results enable us to identify the dominant flow viscosity coefficients and to compare their temperature variation according to their dependence on the dominant scalar order parameters. By considering different orientations of an external field, we identify three characteristic switching times corresponding to three rotational viscosities, and we estimate the ratio of the switching times of the primary and the secondary directors
