Analysis of Bose-Einstein correlations in e+e- -> W+W- events including final state interactions
Recently DELPHI Collaboration reported new data on Bose-Einstein correlations
(BEC) measured in e+e- -> W^+W^- events. Apparently no enhancement has been
observed. We have analyzed these data including final state interactions (FSI)
of both Coulomb and strong (s-wave) origin and found that there is enhancement
in BEC but it is overshadowed by the FSI which are extremely important for
those events. We have found the following values for the size of the
interaction range beta and the degree of coherence lambda: beta=0.87 +/- 0.31fm
and lambda=1.19 +/- 0.48, respectively.Comment: 7pages, 4 figure
Electronic Structure of Three-Dimensional Superlattices Subject to Tilted Magnetic Fields
Full quantum-mechanical description of electrons moving in 3D structures with
unidirectional periodic modulation subject to tilted magnetic fields requires
an extensive numerical calculation. To understand magneto-oscillations in such
systems it is in many cases sufficient to use the quasi-classical approach, in
which the zero-magnetic-field Fermi surface is considered as a
magnetic-field-independent rigid body in k-space and periods of oscillations
are related to extremal cross-sections of the Fermi surface cut by planes
perpendicular to the magnetic-field direction. We point out cases where the
quasi-classical treatment fails and propose a simple tight-binding
fully-quantum-mechanical model of the superlattice electronic structure.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures, RevTex, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Nonextensive hydrodynamics for relativistic heavy-ion collisions
The nonextensive one-dimensional version of a hydrodynamical model for
multiparticle production processes is proposed and discussed. It is based on
nonextensive statistics assumed in the form proposed by Tsallis and
characterized by a nonextensivity parameter . In this formulation the
parameter characterizes some specific form of local equilibrium which is
characteristic for the nonextensive thermodynamics and which replaces the usual
local thermal equilibrium assumption of the usual hydrodynamical models. We
argue that there is correspondence between the perfect nonextensive
hydrodynamics and the usual dissipative hydrodynamics. It leads to simple
expression for dissipative entropy current and allows for predictions for the
ratio of bulk and shear viscosities to entropy density, and ,
to be made.Comment: Final version accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Possible Verification of Tilted Anisotropic Dirac Cone in \alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2 I_3 Using Interlayer Magnetoresistance
It is proposed that the presence of a tilted and anisotropic Dirac cone can
be verified using the interlayer magnetoresistance in the layered Dirac fermion
system, which is realized in quasi-two-dimensional organic compound
\alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2 I_3. Theoretical formula is derived using the analytic
Landau level wave functions and assuming local tunneling of electrons. It is
shown that the resistivity takes the maximum in the direction of the tilt if
anisotropy of the Fermi velocity of the Dirac cone is small. The procedure is
described to determine the parameters of the tilt and anisotropy.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, corrected Fig.
Relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics with extended matching conditions for ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Recently we proposed a novel approach to the formulation of relativistic
dissipative hydrodynamics by extending the so-called matching conditions in the
Eckart frame [Phys. Rev. {\bf C 85}, (2012) 14906]. We extend this formalism
further to the arbitrary Lorentz frame. We discuss the stability and causality
of solutions of fluid equations which are obtained by applying this formulation
to the Landau frame, which is more relevant to treat the fluid produced in
ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We derive equations of motion for a
relativistic dissipative fluid with zero baryon chemical potential and show
that linearized equations obtained from them are stable against small
perturbations. It is found that conditions for a fluid to be stable against
infinitesimal perturbations are equivalent to imposing restrictions that the
sound wave, , propagating in the fluid, must not exceed the speed of light
, i.e., . This conclusion is equivalent to that obtained in the
previous paper using the Eckart frame [Phys. Rev. {\bf C 85}, (2012) 14906].Comment: 2nd version. Typos corrected. 7 pages. Contribution to The European
