The integrable quantum group invariant A_{2n-1}^(2) and D_{n+1}^(2) open spin chains
A family of A_{2n}^(2) integrable open spin chains with U_q(C_n) symmetry was
recently identified in arXiv:1702.01482. We identify here in a similar way a
family of A_{2n-1}^(2) integrable open spin chains with U_q(D_n) symmetry, and
two families of D_{n+1}^(2) integrable open spin chains with U_q(B_n) symmetry.
We discuss the consequences of these symmetries for the degeneracies and
multiplicities of the spectrum. We propose Bethe ansatz solutions for two of
these models, whose completeness we check numerically for small values of n and
chain length N. We find formulas for the Dynkin labels in terms of the numbers
of Bethe roots of each type, which are useful for determining the corresponding
degeneracies. In an appendix, we briefly consider D_{n+1}^(2) chains with other
integrable boundary conditions, which do not have quantum group symmetry.Comment: 47 pages; v2: two references added and minor change
Observation of the Kohn anomaly near the K point of bilayer graphene
The dispersion of electrons and phonons near the K point of bilayer graphene
was investigated in a resonant Raman study using different laser excitation
energies in the near infrared and visible range. The electronic structure was
analyzed within the tight-binding approximation, and the
Slonczewski-Weiss-McClure (SWM) parameters were obtained from the analysis of
the dispersive behavior of the Raman features. A softening of the phonon
branches was observed near the K point, and results evidence the Kohn anomaly
and the importance of considering electron-phonon and electron-electron
interactions to correctly describe the phonon dispersion in graphene systems.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Experimental observation of fractional topological phases with photonic qudits
Geometrical and topological phases play a fundamental role in quantum theory.
Geometric phases have been proposed as a tool for implementing unitary gates
for quantum computation. A fractional topological phase has been recently
discovered for bipartite systems. The dimension of the Hilbert space determines
the topological phase of entangled qudits under local unitary operations. Here
we investigate fractional topological phases acquired by photonic entangled
qudits. Photon pairs prepared as spatial qudits are operated inside a Sagnac
interferometer and the two-photon interference pattern reveals the topological
phase as fringes shifts when local operations are performed. Dimensions and were tested, showing the expected theoretical values.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
The Estimation of the Effective Centre of Mass Energy in q-qbar-gamma Events from DELPHI
The photon radiation in the initial state lowers the energy available for the
ee collisions; this effect is particularly important at LEP2 energies
(above the mass of the Z boson). Being aligned to the beam direction, such
initial state radiation is mostly undetected. This article describes the
procedure used by the DELPHI experiment at LEP to estimate the effective
centre-of-mass energy in hadronic events collected at energies above the Z
peak. Typical resolutions ranging from 2 to 3 GeV on the effective
center-of-mass energy are achieved, depending on the event topology.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure

Probing the Electronic Structure of Bilayer Graphene by Raman Scattering
The electronic structure of bilayer graphene is investigated from a resonant
Raman study using different laser excitation energies. The values of the
parameters of the Slonczewski-Weiss-McClure model for graphite are measured
experimentally and some of them differ significantly from those reported
previously for graphite, specially that associated with the difference of the
effective mass of electrons and holes. The splitting of the two TO phonon
branches in bilayer graphene is also obtained from the experimental data. Our
results have implications for bilayer graphene electronic devices.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
