A Scintillating Fiber Hodoscope for a Bremstrahlung Luminosity Monitor at an ElectronPositron Collider
The performance of a scintillating fiber (2mm diameter) position sensitive
detector ( cm active area) for the single bremstrahlung
luminosity monitor at the VEPP-2M electron-positron collider in Novosibirsk,
Russia is described. Custom electronics is triggered by coincident hits in the
X and Y planes of 24 fibers each, and reduces 64 PMT signals to a 10 bit (X,Y)
address. Hits are accumulated (10 kHz) in memory and display (few Hz) the
VEPP-2M collision vertex. Fitting the strongly peaked distribution ( 3-4
mm at 1.6m from the collision vertex of VEPP-2M ) to the expected QED angular
distribution yields a background in agreement with an independent determination
of the VEPP-2M luminosity.Comment: LaTeX with REVTeX style and options: multicol,aps. 8 pages,

Single-electron latch with granular film charge leakage suppressor
A single-electron latch is a device that can be used as a building block for
Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) circuits. It consists of three nanoscale
metal "dots" connected in series by tunnel junctions; charging of the dots is
controlled by three electrostatic gates. One very important feature of a
single-electron latch is its ability to store ("latch") information represented
by the location of a single electron within the three dots. To obtain latching,
the undesired leakage of charge during the retention time must be suppressed.
Previously, to achieve this goal, multiple tunnel junctions were used to
connect the three dots. However, this method of charge leakage suppression
requires an additional compensation of the background charges affecting each
parasitic dot in the array of junctions. We report a single-electron latch
where a granular metal film is used to fabricate the middle dot in the latch
which concurrently acts as a charge leakage suppressor. This latch has no
parasitic dots, therefore the background charge compensation procedure is
greatly simplified. We discuss the origins of charge leakage suppression and
possible applications of granular metal dots for various single-electron
circuits.Comment: 21 pages, 4 figure
Interlayer tunneling spectroscopy of graphite at high magnetic field oriented parallel to the layers
Interlayer tunneling in graphite mesa-type structures is studied at a strong
in-plane magnetic field up to 55 T and low temperature K. The
tunneling spectrum vs. has a pronounced peak at a finite voltage
. The peak position increases linearly with . To explain the
experiment, we develop a theoretical model of graphite in the crossed electric
and magnetic fields. When the fields satisfy the resonant condition
, where is the velocity of the two-dimensional Dirac electrons in
graphene, the wave functions delocalize and give rise to the peak in the
tunneling spectrum observed in the experiment.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures; corresponds to the published version in Eur.

More on general -brane solutions
Recently it was found that the complete integration of the
Einstein-dilaton-antisymmetric form equations depending on one variable and
describing static singly charged -branes leads to two and only two classes
of solutions: the standard asymptotically flat black -brane and the
asymptotically non-flat -brane approaching the linear dilaton background at
spatial infinity. Here we analyze this issue in more details and generalize the
corresponding uniqueness argument to the case of partially delocalized branes.
We also consider the special case of codimension one and find, in addition to
the standard domain wall, the black wall solution. Explicit relations between
our solutions and some recently found -brane solutions ``with extra
parameters'' are presented.Comment: 29 pages, 2 figure
Semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of equivariant coherent sheaves
Let X be an algebraic variety with an action of an algebraic group G. Suppose
X has a full exceptional collection of sheaves, and these sheaves are invariant
under the action of the group. We construct a semiorthogonal decomposition of
bounded derived category of G-equivariant coherent sheaves on X into
components, equivalent to derived categories of twisted representations of the
group. If the group is finite or reductive over the algebraically closed field
of zero characteristic, this gives a full exceptional collection in the derived
equivariant category. We apply our results to particular varieties such as
projective spaces, quadrics, Grassmanians and Del Pezzo surfaces.Comment: 28 pages, uses XY-pi
Extremal dyonic black holes in D=4 Gauss-Bonnet gravity
We investigate extremal dyon black holes in the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton
(EMD) theory with higher curvature corrections in the form of the Gauss-Bonnet
density coupled to the dilaton. In the same theory without the Gauss-Bonnet
term the extremal dyon solutions exist only for discrete values of the dilaton
coupling constant . We show that the Gauss-Bonnet term acts as a dyon hair
tonic enlarging the allowed values of to continuous domains in the plane
the second parameter being the magnetic charge. In the limit of the
vanishing curvature coupling (a large magnetic charge) the dyon solutions
obtained tend to the Reissner-Nordstr\"om solution but not to the extremal
dyons of the EMD theory. Both solutions have the same values of the horizon
radius as a function of charges. The entropy of new dyonic black holes
interpolates between the Bekenstein-Hawking value in the limit of the large
magnetic charge (equivalent to the vanishing Gauss-Bonnet coupling) and twice
this value for the vanishing magnetic charge. Although an expression for the
entropy can be obtained analytically using purely local near-horizon solutions,
its interpretation as the black hole entropy is legitimate only once the global
black hole solution is known to exist, and we obtain numerically the
corresponding conditions on the parameters. Thus, a purely local analysis is
insufficient to fully understand the entropy of the curvature corrected black
holes. We also find dyon solutions which are not asymptotically flat, but
approach the linear dilaton background at infinity. They describe magnetic
black holes on the electric linear dilaton background.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figures, revtex

Derived categories of cubic fourfolds
We discuss the structure of the derived category of coherent sheaves on cubic
fourfolds of three types: Pfaffian cubics, cubics containing a plane and
singular cubics, and discuss its relation to the rationality of these cubics.Comment: 18 page
Geometric Phantom Categories
In this paper we give a construction of phantom categories, i.e. admissible
triangulated subcategories in bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves on
smooth projective varieties that have trivial Hochschild homology and trivial
Grothendieck group. We also prove that these phantom categories are phantoms in
a stronger sense, namely, they have trivial K-motives and, hence, all their
higher K-groups are trivial too.Comment: LaTeX, 18 page
Storage-ring measurement of the hyperfine induced 47Ti18+(2s 2p 3P0 -> 2s2 1S0) transition rate
The hyperfine induced 2s 2p 3P0 > 2s2 1S0 transition rate AHFI in
berylliumlike 47Ti18+ was measured. Resonant electron-ion recombination in a
heavy-ion storage ring was employed to monitor the time dependent population of
the 3P0 state. The experimental value AHFI=0.56(3)/s is almost 60% larger than
theoretically predicted.Comment: 4 pages. 3 figures, 1 table, accepted for publication in Physical
