Valence electronic structure of Mn in undoped and doped lanthanum manganites from relative K x-ray intensity studies
Relative x-ray intensities of in , , and
( = , , and ) systems have been
measured following excitation by 59.54 keV -rays from a 200 mCi
Am point-source. The measured results for the compounds deviate
significantly from the results of pure . Comparison of the experimental
data with the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) effective atomic model
calculations indicates reasonable agreement with the predictions of ionic model
for the doped {manganites except} that the electron doped
and hole doped compounds
show some small deviations. The results of and deviate
considerably from the predictions of the ionic model. Our measured
ratio of in cannot be explained
as a linear superposition of ratios of for the end
members which is in contrast to the recent proposal by Tyson et al. from their
spectra.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures. to appear in NIM-B.Please send an e-mail for

M-theory on at 1-loop and beyond
We study graviton scattering on , which is dual to the
stress tensor multiplet four-point function in the maximally supersymmetric 3d
ABJM theory. We compute 1-loop corrections to this
holographic correlator coming from Witten diagrams with supergravity and
higher derivative vertices, up to contact term ambiguities, and find that
the flat space limit matches the corresponding terms in the 11d M-theory
S-matrix. We then use supersymmetric localization to show that all the 1-loop
contact terms vanish, as was previously observed for the theory dual to ABJM. Finally, we use
the recent localization results of Gaiotto and Abajian, as inspired by twisted
M-theory, to compute all the short OPE coefficients in correlators of the
stress tensor multiplet and the next lowest half-BPS operator, which we find
saturate the bootstrap bounds on these mixed correlators for all .Comment: 20 pages, 2 figures, sequel to arXiv:2107.1027
6d (2,0) and M-theory at 1-loop
We study the stress tensor multiplet four-point function in the 6d maximally
supersymmetric and theories, which have no Lagrangian
description, but in the large limit are holographically dual to weakly
coupled M-theory on and ,
respectively. We use the analytic bootstrap to compute the 1-loop correction to
this holographic correlator coming from Witten diagrams with supergravity
and the first higher derivative correction vertices, which is the first
1-loop correction computed for a non-Lagrangian theory. We then take the flat
space limit and find precise agreement with the corresponding terms in the 11d
M-theory S-matrix, some of which we compute for the first time using
two-particle unitarity cuts.Comment: 35 pages plus appendices, v4 typos corrected, accepted to JHE
DARIS : a low-frequency distributed aperture array for radio astronomy in space
The frequency band below 30 MHz is one of the last unexplored bands in radio astronomy. This band is well suited for studying the early cosmos at high hydrogen redshifts, the so-called dark ages, extragalactic surveys, (extra) solar planetary bursts, and high energy particle physics. In addition, space research such as space weather tomography, are also areas of scientific interest. \ud

Due to ionospheric scintillation (below 30MHz) and its opaqueness (below 15MHz), earth-bound radio astronomy observations in these bands are either severely limited in sensitivity and spatial resolution or entirely impossible. A radio telescope in space obviously would not be hampered by the Earth's ionosphere. In the past, several (limited) studies have been conducted to explore possibilities for such an array in space. These studies considered aperture synthesis arrays in space, at the back-side of the Moon, or a satellite constellation operating in a coherent mode. \u
Field Localization and Enhancement of Phase Locked Second and Third Harmonic Generation in Absorbing Semiconductor Cavities
We predict and experimentally observe the enhancement by three orders of
magnitude of phase mismatched second and third harmonic generation in a GaAs
cavity at 650nm and 433nm, respectively, well above the absorption edge. Phase
locking between the pump and the harmonics changes the effective dispersion of
the medium and inhibits absorption. Despite hostile conditions the harmonics
become localized inside the cavity leading to relatively large conversion
efficiencies. Field localization plays a pivotal role and ushers in a new class
of semiconductor-based devices in the visible and UV ranges
Ontology Based E-Healthcare Information Retrieval System: A Semantic Approach
With the increase of data in the health care system provides a base for the development of an effective information retrieval system. The implementation of such information retrieval system integrates the heterogeneous information from the healthcare environment. Most of the existing information retrieval systems are syntactic based systems, which will provide inefficient results for the search queries. The objective of this approach is to design a semantic based E-Healthcare information retrieval system. The proposed approach uses an ontology to define the disease-treatment information and will be used for the effective information retrieval. The designated approach is evaluated with a web based tool and the results shows that there is an improvement in the approach
Laser sources on a heterogeneous III-V/silicon platform
The heterogeneous integration of III-V semiconductor lasers on a silicon waveguide platform using DVS-BCB adhesive bonding is reviewed. Both mW-level lasers and ultra-compact laser sources are discussed
Earth Matter Effects at Very Long Baselines and the Neutrino Mass Hierarchy
We study matter effects which arise in the muon neutrino oscillation and
survival probabilities relevant to atmospheric neutrino and very long baseline
beam experiments. The inter-relations between the three probabilities P_{\mu
e}, P_{\mu \tau} and P_{\mu \mu} are examined. It is shown that large and
observable sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy can be present in P_{\mu
\mu} and P_{\mu \tau}. We emphasize that at baselines of > 7000 Km, matter
effects in P_{\mu \tau} can be large under certain conditions. The muon
survival rates in experiments with very long baselines thus depend on matter
effects in both P_{\mu \tau} and P_{\mu e}. We indicate where these effects are
sensitive to \theta_{13}, and identify ranges of E and L where the event rates
increase with decreasing \theta_{13}, providing a handle to probe small
\theta_{13}. The effect of parameter degeneracies in the three probabilities at
these baselines and energies is studied in detail. Realistic event rate
calculations are performed for a charge discriminating 100 kT iron calorimeter
which demonstrate the possibility of realising the goal of determining the
neutrino mass hierarchy using atmospheric neutrinos. It is shown that a careful
selection of energy and baseline ranges is necessary in order to obtain a
statistically significant signal, and that the effects are largest in bins
where matter effects in both P_{\mu e} and P_{\mu \tau} combine constructively.
Under these conditions, upto a 4\sigma signal for matter effects is possible
(for \Delta_{31}>0) within a timescale appreciably shorter than the one
anticipated for neutrino factories.Comment: 40 pages, 27 figures, version to match the published versio
