The Inelastic cross-section and Survival Probabilities at LHC in mini-jet models

Recent results for the total and inelastic hadronic cross-sections from LHC experiments are compared with predictions from a single channel PDF driven eikonal mini-jet model and from an empirical model. The role of soft gluon resummation in the infrared region in taming the rise of mini-jets and their contribution to the increase of the total cross-sections at high energies are discussed. Survival probabilities at LHC, whose theoretical estimates range from circa 10% to a few per mille, will be estimated in this model and compared with results from QCD inspired models and from multichannel eikonal models. We revisit a previous calculation and examine the origin of these discrepancies

Effect of antagonist mineralocorticoid receptors Eplerenon on the dynamics of QT interval dispersion in patients with acute elderly aged

Currently, there is an increase in the frequency of cardiovascular diseases, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), while in the Russian Federation due to ACS there is a high mortality rate from sudden cardiac death (SCD). The aim of the work is a comparative analysis of the effect of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) of eplerenone on the predictors of SCD development in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with a moderately abnormal ejection fraction(EF) of the left ventricle (LV) in the early stages of the diseas

Final-sate radiation in electron-positron annihilation into a pion pair

The process of $e^+e^-$ annihilation into a $\pi^+\pi^-$ pair with radiation of a photon is considered. The amplitude of the reaction $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ consists of the model independent initial-state radiation (ISR) and model-dependent final-state radiation (FSR). The general structure of the FSR tensor is constructed from Lorentz covariance, gauge invariance and discrete symmetries in terms of the three invariant functions. To calculate these functions we apply Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) with vector and axial-vector mesons. The contribution of $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ process to the muon anomalous magnetic moment is evaluated, and results are compared with the dominant contribution in the framework of a hybrid model, consisting of VMD and point-like scalar eletrodynamics. The developed approach allows us also to calculate the $\pi^+\pi^-$ charge asymmetry.Comment: 21 pages, 8 figure

Radiative corrections to deep-inelastic ed−ed- scattering. Case of tensor polarized deuteron

The model-independent radiative corrections to deep-inelastic scattering of unpolarized electron beam off the tensor polarized deuteron target have been considered. The contribution to the radiative corrections due to the hard-photon emission from the elastic electron-deuteron scattering (the so-called elastic radiative tail) is also investigated. The calculation is based on the covariant parametrization of the deuteron quadrupole polarization tensor. The numerical estimates of the radiative corrections to the polarization observables have been done for the kinematical conditions of the current experiment at HERAComment: 21 pages, 5 figure

The Standard Model Prediction of the Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment

This article reviews and updates the Standard Model prediction of the muon g-2. QED, electroweak and hadronic contributions are presented, and open questions discussed. The theoretical prediction deviates from the present experimental value by 2-3 standard deviations, if e+e- annihilation data are used to evaluate the leading hadronic term.Comment: 30 pages, 8 figures. v2: Updated version to appear in J.Phys.G.
