    Field-dependent diamagnetic transition in magnetic superconductor Sm1.85Ce0.15CuO4ySm_{1.85} Ce_{0.15} Cu O_{4-y}

    Full text link
    The magnetic penetration depth of single crystal Sm1.85Ce0.15CuO4y\rm{Sm_{1.85}Ce_{0.15}CuO_{4-y}} was measured down to 0.4 K in dc fields up to 7 kOe. For insulating Sm2CuO4\rm{Sm_2CuO_4}, Sm3+^{3+} spins order at the N\'{e}el temperature, TN=6T_N = 6 K, independent of the applied field. Superconducting Sm1.85Ce0.15CuO4y\rm{Sm_{1.85}Ce_{0.15}CuO_{4-y}} (Tc23T_c \approx 23 K) shows a sharp increase in diamagnetic screening below T(H)T^{\ast}(H) which varied from 4.0 K (H=0H = 0) to 0.5 K (H=H = 7 kOe) for a field along the c-axis. If the field was aligned parallel to the conducting planes, TT^{\ast} remained unchanged. The unusual field dependence of TT^{\ast} indicates a spin freezing transition that dramatically increases the superfluid density.Comment: 4 pages, RevTex

    Exclusive production of ω\omega meson in proton-proton collisions at high energies

    Full text link
    First we calculate cross section for the γpωp\gamma p \to \omega p reaction from the threshold to very large energies. At low energies the pion exchange is the dominant mechanism. At large energies the experimental cross section can be well described within the ktk_{t}-factorization approach by adjusting light-quark constituent mass. Next we calculate differential distributions for the ppppωp p \to p p \omega reaction at RHIC, Tevatron and LHC energies for the first time in the literature. We consider photon-pomeron (pomeron-photon), photon-pion (pion-photon) as well as diffractive hadronic bremsstrahlung mechanisms. The latter are included in the meson/reggeon exchange picture with parameters fixed from the known phenomenology. Interesting rapidity distributions are predicted. The hadronic bremsstrahlung contributions dominate at large (forward, backward) rapidities. At small energies the photon-pomeron contribution is negligible compared to the bremsstrahlung contributions. It could be, however, easily identified at large energies at midrapidities. Absorptions effects are included and discussed. Our predictions are ready for verification at RHIC and LHC.Comment: 21 pages, 14 figure

    Light vector meson photoproduction at large t

    Full text link
    We have studied in perturbative QCD all independent helicity amplitudes describing the photoproduction of light vector mesons at large tt. We found a new hard production mechanism which is related to the possibility for a real photon to fluctuate into a massless qqˉq\bar q pair in a chiral-odd spin configuration. Each helicity amplitude is given as a sum of a usual chiral-even contribution (when the helicities of quark and antiquark are antiparallel) and this additional chiral-odd part (where the helicities of quark and antiquark are parallel). The chiral-odd contribution is large, it leads to a dominance of the non spin-flip amplitude in a very broad region of intermediately high t|t|. All amplitudes are expressed in terms of short distance asymptotics of the light-cone wave functions of vector meson (photon). We demonstrate that for each helicity amplitude there exists a soft non-factorizable contribution. We give arguments that for dominant non spin-flip helicity amplitude the relative contribution of the soft nonfactorizable interactions is numerically not large.Comment: 21 pages LATEX, 2 .eps figures, the colour factor of chiral-odd contributions is corrected, qualitative results remain unchange

    The Q2Q^2 dependence of the hard diffractive photoproduction of vector meson or photon and the range of pQCD validity

    We consider two coupled problems. We study the dependence on photon virtuality Q2Q^2 for the semihard quasi--elastic photoproduction of neutral vector mesons on a quark, gluon or real photon (at sp2,  Q2;  p2μ2(0.3s\gg p_{\bot}^2,\;Q^2; \; p_{\bot}^2\gg \mu^2 \approx (0.3 GeV)2^2). To this end we calculate the corresponding amplitudes (in an analytical form) in the lowest nontrivial approximation of perturbative QCD. It is shown that the amplitude for the production of light meson varies very rapidly with the photon virtuality near Q2=0Q^2=0. We estimate the bound of the pQCD validity region for such processes. For the real incident photon the obtained bound for the ρ\rho meson production is very high. This bound decreases fast with the increase of Q2Q^2, and we expect that the virtual photoproduction at HERA gives opportunity to test the pQCD results. The signature of this region is discussed. For the hard Compton effect the pQCD should work good at not too high pp_{\bot}, and this effect seems measurable at HERA.Comment: ReVTeX, 36 pages, 5 Postscript figures, uses epsf.st

    Gravitational Laser Back-Scattering

    Full text link
    A possible way of producing gravitons in the laboratory is investigated. We evaluate the cross section electron + photon \rightarrow electron + graviton in the framework of linearized gravitation, and analyse this reaction considering the photon coming either from a laser beam or from a Compton back-scattering process.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures (available upon request), RevTeX, IFT-P.03/9

    Discovery limits for Techni-Omega production in eγe\gamma Collisions

    Full text link
    In a strongly-interacting electroweak sector with an isosinglet vector state, such as the techni-omega, ωT\omega_T, the direct ωTZγ \omega_T Z \gamma coupling implies that an ωT\omega_T can be produced by ZγZ \gamma fusion in eγe \gamma collisions. This is a unique feature for high energy e+ee^+e^- or eee^-e^- colliders operating in an eγe\gamma mode. We consider the processes eγeZγe^- \gamma \to e^- Z\gamma and eγeW+WZe^- \gamma \to e^- W^+ W^- Z, both of which proceed via an intermediate ωT\omega_T. We find that at a 1.5 TeV e+ee^+e^- linear collider operating in an eγe\gamma mode with an integrated luminosity of 200 fb1^{-1}, we can discover an ωT\omega_T for a broad range of masses and widths.Comment: To appear in the Proceedings of the 29th International Conference on High Energy Physics, Vancouver, July 1998, 5 pages, Latex, 7 postscript figure
