Combined Effect of QCD Resummation and QED Radiative Correction to W boson Observables at the Tevatron
A precise determination of the W boson mass at the Fermilab Tevatron requires
a theoretical calculation in which the effects of the initial-state multiple
soft-gluon emission and the final-state photonic correction are simultaneously
included . Here, we present such a calculation and discuss its prediction on
the transverse mass distribution of the W boson and the transverse momentum
distribution of its decay charged lepton, which are the most relevant
observables for measuring the W boson mass at hadron colliders.Comment: 10 pages, 3 Postscript figures, uses revtex4.st
General Rotating Charged Kaluza-Klein AdS Black Holes in Higher Dimensions
I construct exact solutions for general nonextremal rotating, charged
Kaluza-Klein black holes with a cosmological constant and with arbitrary
angular momenta in all higher dimensions. I then investigate their
thermodynamics and find their generalizations with the NUT charges. The metrics
are given in both Boyer-Lindquist coordinates and a form very similar to the
famous Kerr-Schild ansatz, which highlights its potential application to
include multiple electric charges into solutions yet to be found in gauged
supergravity. It is also observed that the metric ansatz in dimensions
is similar to those previously suggested by Yilmaz and later by Bekenstein.Comment: 5 pages, revtex4.cl
Dynamics of vortex glass phase in strongly type II superconductors
Dynamics of vortices in strongly type-II superconductors with strong disorder
is investigated within the frustrated three-dimensional XY model. For two
typical models in [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 91}, 077002 (2003)] and [Phys. Rev. B
{\bf 68}, 220502(R) (2003)], a strong evidence for the finite temperature
vortex glass transition in the unscreened limit is provided by performing
large-scale dynamical simulations. The obtained correlation length exponents
and the dynamic exponents in both models are different from each other and from
those in the three-dimensional gauge glass model. In addition, a genuine
continuous depinning transition is observed at zero temperature for both
models. A scaling analysis for the thermal rounding of the depinning transition
shows a non-Arrhenius type creep motion in the vortex glass phase, contrarily
to the recent studies..Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Flux-lattice melting in LaOFFeAs: first-principles prediction
We report the theoretical study of the flux-lattice melting in the novel
iron-based superconductor and
. Using the Hypernetted-Chain closure and an
efficient algorithm, we calculate the two-dimensional one-component plasma pair
distribution functions, static structure factors and direct correlation
functions at various temperatures. The Hansen-Verlet freezing criterion is
shown to be valid for vortex-liquid freezing in type-II superconductors.
Flux-lattice meting lines for and
are predicted through the combination of the density
functional theory and the mean-field substrate approach.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
A Monte-Carlo simulation of the equilibrium beam polarization in ultra-high energy electron (positron) storage rings
With the recently emerging global interest in building a next generation of
circular electron-positron colliders to study the properties of the Higgs
boson, and other important topics in particle physics at ultra-high beam
energies, it is also important to pursue the possibility of implementing
polarized beams at this energy scale. It is therefore necessary to set up
simulation tools to evaluate the beam polarization at these ultra-high beam
energies. In this paper, a Monte-Carlo simulation of the equilibrium beam
polarization based on the Polymorphic Tracking Code(PTC) (Schmidt et al., 2002
[1]) is described. The simulations are for a model storage ring with parameters
similar to those of proposed circular colliders in this energy range, and they
are compared with the suggestion (Derbenev et al., 1978 [2]) that there are
different regimes for the spin dynamics underlying the polarization of a beam
in the presence of synchrotron radiation at ultra-high beam energies. In
particular, it has been suggested that the so-called "correlated" crossing of
spin resonances during synchrotron oscillations at current energies, evolves
into "uncorrelated" crossing of spin resonances at ultra-high energies.Comment: submitted to and accepted by Nucl. Instrum. Meth.
Selective ethylene trimerization by titanium complexes bearing phenoxy-imine ligands: NMR and EPR Spectroscopic studies of the reaction intermediates
The catalyst systems (FI)TiCl₃/MAO (FI = phenoxyimine ligand with an additional aryl–O–CH₃ donor) display exceptionally high activity in selective ethylene trimerization. By means of NMR and EPR spectroscopy, the nature of the Ti species formed in the catalyst systems (FI)TiCl₃/MAO, (FI)TiCl₃/MMAO, and (FI)TiCl₃/AlR₃/[Ph₃C]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻ (R = Me, Et, ⁱBu) has been studied. It was shown that outer-sphere ion pairs of the type [(FI)TiIVMe₂]⁺[A]⁻ ([A]− = [MeMAO]⁻, [MeMMAO]⁻, [B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻) are formed at the initial stage of the reaction of (FI)TiCl₃ with MAO, MMAO, and AlMe₃/[Ph₃C]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]⁻. These ion pairs further partially convert into TiIII and TiII species. In the systems (FI)TiCl₃/MAO and (FI)TiCl₃/AlMe₃/[Ph₃C]⁺[B(C₆F5)₄]⁻, complexes with the proposed structures (FI)TiIIIMe₂, (FI)TiIICl, and [(FI)TiII(S)]⁺[A]⁻ ([A]− = [MeMAO]⁻, [B(C₆F₅)4)]⁻, S = solvent, vacancy) were observed (concentrations of TiIII species was lower than those of the TiII congeners). In contrast, in the system (FI)TiCl₃/MMAO, the concentrations of TiIII species (ion pairs of the type [(FI)TiIII(μ-H)(μ-Cl)AlⁱBu₂]⁺[MeMMAO]⁻) were higher than those of the TiII counterparts (ion pairs [(FI)TiII(S)]⁺[MeMMAO]⁻). The system (FI)TiCl₃/MMAO displays lower activity and selectivity in 1-hexene formation, in comparison to (FI)TiCl₃/MAO, due to undesirable PE generation. Probably, TiII and TiIV ion pairs are those participating in ethylene trimerization
