    Situations in traffic - how quickly they change

    Full text link
    Spatio-temporal correlations of intensity of traffic are analysed for one week data collected in the motorway M-30 around Madrid in January 2009. We found that the lifetime of these correlations is the shortest in the evening, between 6 and 8 p.m. This lifetime is a new indicator how much attention of drivers is demanded in given traffic conditions.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure

    Drived diffusion of vector fields

    Get PDF
    A model for the diffusion of vector fields driven by external forces is proposed. Using the renormalization group and the ϵ\epsilon-expansion, the dynamical critical properties of the model with gaussian noise for dimensions below the critical dimension are investigated and new transport universality classes are obtained.Comment: 11 pages, title changed, anisotropic diffusion further discussed and emphasize

    A resonance without resonance: scrutinizing the diphoton excess at 750 GeV

    Full text link
    Motivated by the recent diphoton excesses reported by both ATLAS and CMS collaborations, we suggest that a new heavy spinless particle is produced in gluon fusion at the LHC and decays to a couple of lighter pseudoscalars which then decay to photons. The new resonances could arise from a new strongly interacting sector and couple to Standard Model gauge bosons only via the corresponding Wess-Zumino-Witten anomaly. We present a detailed recast of the newest 13 TeV data from ATLAS and CMS together with the 8 TeV data to scan the consistency of the parameter space for those resonances.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, extended discussion of underlying models, new plots with varying mass of the heavy scalar, to appear in PL
