Intermediate spin, Schr\"odinger cat states and nano-magnets

Quantum tunneling of nano-magnets finds a natural description in terms of intermediate spin. Periodic magnetic effects correspond to a change of flux by the flux quantum $\Phi_{0}$. Schr\"odinger cat states with different superpositions of the applied magnetic field occur. The molecular magnet Fe$_{8}$ is discussed and oscillations are predicted for Mn$_{12}$.Comment: 4 pages 4 figure

Associated Charmonium Production in p-pbar Annihilation

In this paper we summarize our recent results for low energy associated charmonium production cross sections, using 1) crossing symmetry, and 2) an explicit hadronic model. These predictions are of relevance to the planned charmonium and charmonium hybrid production experiment PANDA at GSI.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures.
