S-Link to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter New Frame Segmentation for LHCb Data Acquisition System

Data Acquisition and Control Systems used in high energy physics experiments, such as those which will take place in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, require the specification of data formats and transmission protocols as well as the use of high speed links and interfaces. In this context, a new Frame Segmentation process will be presented and discussed, based on data formats adopted by the LHCb experience for the interconnection of two standardized systems: S-link and Gigabit Ethernet. Simulation results of the transfer capacity of the proposed mechanism will be also reported, together with guidelines for its physical implementation.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures.

Neel order in the two-dimensional S=1/2 Heisenberg Model

The existence of Neel order in the S=1/2 Heisenberg model on the square lattice at T=0 is shown using inequalities set up by Kennedy, Lieb and Shastry in combination with high precision Quantum Monte Carlo data.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur

Stability of Droplets for the Three Dimensional Stochastic Ising Model

In this paper we study the evolution of the finite volume stochastic Ising model with magnetic field at very low temperatures starting from regular droplets, namely configurations on which all spins are -1 except those inside a parallelepiped
