Doubly virtual Compton scattering and the beam normal spin asymmetry
We construct an invariant basis for Compton scattering with two virtual
photons (VVCS). The basis tensors are chosen to be gauge invariant and
orthogonal to each other. The properties of the corresponding 18 invariant
amplitudes are studied in detail. We consider the special case of elastic VVCS
with the virtualities of the initial and final photons equal. The invariant
basis for VVCS in this orthogonal form does not exist in the literatur. We
furthermore use this VVCS tensor for a calculation of the beam normal spin
asymmetry in the forward kinematics. For this, we relate the invariant
amplitudes to the helicity amplitudes of the VVCS reaction. The imaginary parts
of these latter are related to the inclusive cross section by means of the
optical theorem. We use the phenomenological value of the transverse cross
section mbarn and the Callan-Gross relation which relates the
longitudinal cross section to the transverse one. The result of the
calculation agrees with an existing calculation and predicts the negative
values of the asymmetry of the order of 4-6 ppm in the energy range from
6 to 45 ppm and for very forward angles.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures, revtex, submitted to Phys. Rev. C; new version:

A Formal Context Representation Framework for Network-Enabled Cognition
Network-accessible resources are inherently contextual with respect to the specific situations (e.g., location and default assumptions) in which they are used. Therefore, the explicit conceptualization and representation of contexts is required to address a number of problems in Network- Enabled Cognition (NEC). We propose a context representation framework to address the computational specification of contexts. Our focus is on developing a formal model of context for the unambiguous and effective delivery of data and knowledge, in particular, for enabling forms of automated inference that address contextual differences between agents in a distributed network environment. We identify several components for the conceptualization of contexts within the context representation framework. These include jurisdictions (which can be used to interpret contextual data), semantic assumptions (which highlight the meaning of data), provenance information and inter-context relationships. Finally, we demonstrate the application of the context representation framework in a collaborative military coalition planning scenario. We show how the framework can be used to support the representation of plan-relevant contextual information

Insulator-metal-insulator transition and selective spectral weight transfer in a disordered strongly correlated system
We investigate the metal insulator transitions at finite temperature for the
Hubbard model with diagonal alloy disorder. We solve the dynamical mean field
theory equations with the non crossing approximation and we use the coherent
potential approximation to handle disorder. The excitation spectrum is given
for various correlation strength and disorder. Two successive metal
insulator transitions are observed at integer filling values as is
increased. An important selective transfer of spectral weight arises upon
doping. The strong influence of the temperature on the low energy dynamics is
studied in details.Comment: submitted to Phys. Rev.
Quantum glass phases in the disordered Bose-Hubbard model
The phase diagram of the Bose-Hubbard model in the presence of off-diagonal
disorder is determined using Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. A sequence of
quantum glass phases intervene at the interface between the Mott insulating and
the Superfluid phases of the clean system. In addition to the standard Bose
glass phase, the coexistence of gapless and gapped regions close to the Mott
insulating phase leads to a novel Mott glass regime which is incompressible yet
gapless. Numerical evidence for the properties of these phases is given in
terms of global (compressibility, superfluid stiffness) and local
(compressibility, momentum distribution) observables
