Nonlocal symmetries of integrable two-field divergent evolutionary systems
Nonlocal symmetries for exactly integrable two-field evolutionary systems of
the third order have been computed. Differentiation of the nonlocal symmetries
with respect to spatial variable gives a few nonevolutionary systems for each
evolutionary system. Zero curvature representations for some new nonevolution
systems are presented
Suspensions Thermal Noise in the LIGO Gravitational Wave Detector
We present a calculation of the maximum sensitivity achievable by the LIGO
Gravitational wave detector in construction, due to limiting thermal noise of
its suspensions. We present a method to calculate thermal noise that allows the
prediction of the suspension thermal noise in all its 6 degrees of freedom,
from the energy dissipation due to the elasticity of the suspension wires. We
show how this approach encompasses and explains previous ways to approximate
the thermal noise limit in gravitational waver detectors. We show how this
approach can be extended to more complicated suspensions to be used in future
LIGO detectors.Comment: 28 pages, 13 figure
Production of para-- and orthopositronium at relativistic heavy ion colliders
We consider the ortho-- and parapositronium production in the process Ps where A is a nucleus with the charge number Z. The inclusive cross
section and the energy distribution of the relativistic Ps are calculated which
are of primary interest from the experimental point of view. The accuracy of
the corresponding cross sections is given by omitting terms for the para--Ps and for the ortho--Ps production
where and 16 for the RHIC and the LHC. Within this
accuracy the multiphoton (Coulomb) corrections are taken into account. We show
that the RHIC and the LHC will be Ps factories with a productions rate of about
relativistic Ps per day. The fraction of the ortho--Ps is
expected to be of the same order as that of the para--Ps for Au--Au and Pb--Pb
collisions.Comment: 22 pages, 5 figures, RevTeX, misprint correcte
Photoconductivity of CdS-CdSe granular films: influence of microstructure
We study experimentally the photoconductivity of CdS-CdSe sintered granular
films obtained by the screen printing method. We mostly focus on the
dependences of photoconductivity on film's microstructure, which varies with
changing heat-treatment conditions. The maximum photoconductivity is found for
samples with compact packing of individual grains, which nevertheless are
separated by gaps. Such a microstructure is typical for films heat-treated
during an intermediate (optimal) time. In order to understand whether the
dominant mechanism of charge transfer is identical with the one in
monocrystals, we perform temperature measurements of photoresistance.
Corresponding curves have the same peculiar nonmonotonic shape as in CdSe
monocrystals, from which we conclude that the basic mechanism is also the same.
It is suggested that the optimal heat-treatment time appears as a result of a
competition between two mechanisms: improvement of film's connectivity and its
oxidation. Photoresistance is also measured in vacuum and in helium atmosphere,
which suppress oxygen and water absorption/chemisorption at intergrain
boundaries. We demonstrate that this suppression increases photoconductivity,
especially at high temperatures.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures, final versio

Production of relativistic positronium in collisions of photons and electrons with nuclei and atoms
We consider the production of ultrarelativistic positronium (Ps) in and processes where is an atom or a nucleus
with charge . For the photoproduction of para- and ortho-Ps and the
electroproduction of para-Ps we obtain the most complete description compared
with previous works. It includes high order corrections and
polarization effects. The accuracy of the obtained cross sections is determined
by omitted terms of the order of the inverse Ps Lorentz factor squared. The
studied high order multi-photon electroproduction of ortho-Ps dominates for the
collision of electrons with heavy atoms over the bremsstrahlung production from
the electron via a virtual photon proposed by Holvik and Olsen. Our results
complete and correct the studies of those authors.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, RevTex; v2: minor corrections for the accuracy

Reciprocal transformations of Hamiltonian operators of hydrodynamic type: nonlocal Hamiltonian formalism for linearly degenerate systems
Reciprocal transformations of Hamiltonian operators of hydrodynamic type are
investigated. The transformed operators are generally nonlocal, possessing a
number of remarkable algebraic and differential-geometric properties. We apply
our results to linearly degenerate semi-Hamiltonian systems in Riemann
invariants. Since all such systems are linearizable by appropriate
(generalized) reciprocal transformations, our formulae provide an infinity of
mutually compatible nonlocal Hamiltonian structures, explicitly parametrized by
arbitrary functions of one variable.Comment: 26 page
