Effect of multipath and antenna diversity in MIMO-OFDM systems with imperfect channel estimation and phase noise compensation
The effect of phase noise in multiple-inputâmultiple-output systems employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is analyzed in a realistic scenario where channel estimation is not perfect, and the phase noise effects are only partially compensated. In particular, the degradation in terms of SNR is derived and the effects of the receiver and channel parameters are considered, showing that the penalty is different for different receiver schemes. Moreover it depends on the channel characteristics and on the channel estimation error. An analytical expression is used to evaluate the residual inter-channel interference variance and therefore the degradation. The effects of multipath and antenna diversity are shown to be different for the two types of linear receivers considered, the zero-forcing scheme and the minimum mean squared error receiver.This work has been partly funded by projects âMACAWIâ TEC2005-07477-C02-02 and âMULTI-ADAPTIVEâ TEC2008-06327-C03-02.Publicad

Study of the process e+e- to pi+pi-pi+pi-pi0 with CMD-2 detector
The process e+e- to pi+ pi- pi+ pi- pi0 has been studied in the center of
mass energy range 1280 -- 1380 MeV using 3.0 1/pb of data collected with the
CMD-2 detector in Novosibirsk. Analysis shows that the cross section of the
five pion production is dominated by the contributions of the eta pi+pi- and
omega pi+pi- intermediate states.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure. Submitted to Phys. Lett.
Correlation Entropy of an Interacting Quantum Field and H-theorem for the O(N) Model
Following the paradigm of Boltzmann-BBGKY we propose a correlation entropy
(of the nth order) for an interacting quantum field, obtained by `slaving'
(truncation with causal factorization) of the higher (n+1 th) order correlation
functions in the Schwinger-Dyson system of equations. This renders an otherwise
closed system effectively open where dissipation arises. The concept of
correlation entropy is useful for addressing issues related to thermalization.
As a small yet important step in that direction we prove an H-theorem for the
correlation entropy of a quantum mechanical O(N) model with a Closed Time Path
Two Particle Irreducible Effective Action at the level of Next-to-Leading-Order
large N approximation. This model may be regarded as a field theory in
space dimensions.Comment: 22 page

Study of KS KL Coupled Decays and KL -Be Interactions with the CMD-2 Detector at VEPP-2M Collider
The integrated luminosity about 4000 inverse nanobarn of around phi meson
mass ( 5 millions of phi mesons) has been collected with the CMD-2 detector at
the VEPP-2M collider. A latest analysis of the KS KL coupled decays based on 30
% of available data is presented in this paper.
The KS KL pairs from phi meson decays were reconstructed in the drift chamber
when both kaons decayed into two charged particles. From a sample of 1423
coupled decays a selection of candidates to the CP violating KL into pi+ pi-
decay was performed. CP violating decays were not identified because of the
domination of events with a KL regenerating at the Be beam pipe into KS and a
background from KL semileptonic decays.
The regeneration cross section of 110 MeV/c KL mesons was found to be 53 +-
17 mb in agreement with theoretical expectations. The angular distribution of
KS mesons after regeneration and the total cross section of KL for Be have been
measured.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figure
Search for rare Phi decays in pi+ pi_ gamma final state
A search for phi radiative decays has been performed using a data sample of
about 2.0 million phi decays collected by the CMD-2 detector at VEPP-2M
collider in Novosibirsk. From the selected e+ e- -> pi+ pi- gamma events the
following results were obtained: B(phi -> f0(980) gamma) < 1x10-4 for
destructive and B(phi -> f0(980) gamma) < 7x10-4 for constructive interference
with the Bremsstrahlung process respectively, B(phi -> gamma -> pi+ pi- gamma)
20 MeV, B(phi -> rho gamma) < 7x10-4. From the
selected e+ e- -> mu+ mu- gamma events B(phi -> mu+ mu- gamma) =
(2.3+-1.0)x10-5 has been obtained for E of gamma> 20 MeV. The upper limit on
the P,CP-violating decay eta -> pi+ pi- has also been placed: B(eta -> pi+ pi-)
< 9x10-4 . All upper limits are at 90 % C.L.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figure
Nonequilibrium Quantum Dynamics Of Disoriented Chiral Condensates
The nonequilibrium dynamics of the chiral phase transition expected during
the expansion of the quark-qluon plasma produced in a high energy hadron or
heavy ion collision is studied in the O(4) linear sigma model to leading order
in a large expansion. Starting from an approximate equilibrium
configuration at an initial proper time in the disordered phase we study
the transition to the ordered broken symmetry phase as the system expands and
cools. We give results for the proper time evolution of the effective pion
mass, the order parameter as well as for the pion two point
correlation function expressed in terms of a time dependent phase space number
density and pair correlation density. We determine the phase space of initial
conditions that lead to instabilities (exponentially growing long wave length
modes) as the system evolves in time. These instabilities are what eventually
lead to disoriented chiral condensates. In our simulations,we found that
instabilities that are formed during the initial phases of the expansion exist
for proper times that are at most and lead to condensate regions that
do not contain large numbers of particles. The damping of instabilities is a
consequence of strong coupling.Comment: 49 pages, figures available by reques
