Test of QEDPS: A Monte Carlo for the hard photon distributions in e+ e- annihilation proecss

The validity of a photon shower generator QEDPS has been examined in detail. This is formulated based on the leading-logarithmic renormalization equation for the electron structure function and it provides a photon shower along the initial e+-. The main interest in the present work is to test the reliability of the generator to describe a process accompanying hard photons which are detected. For this purpose, by taking the HZ production as the basic reaction, the total cross section and some distributions of the hard photons are compared between two cases that these photons come from either those generated by QEDPS or the hard process e+e- -> H Z gamma gamma. The comparison performed for the single and the double hard photon has shown a satisfactory agreement which demonstrated that the model is self-consistent.Comment: 22 pages, 4 Postscript figures, LaTeX, uses epsf.te

A QED Shower Including the Next-to-leading Logarithm Correction in e+e- Annihilation

We develop an event generator, NLL-QEDPS, based on the QED shower including the next-to-leading logarithm correction in the e^+e^- annihilation. The shower model is the Monte Carlo technique to solve the renormalization group equation so that they can calculate contributions of alpha^m log^n(S/m_e^2) for any m and n systematically. Here alpha is the QED coupling, m_e is the mass of electron and S is the square of the total energy in the e^+e^- system. While the previous QEDPS is limited to the leading logarithm approximation which includes only contributions of (alpha log(S/m_e^2))^n, the model developed here contains terms of alpha(alpha log(S/m_e^2))^n, the the next-to-leading logarithm correction. The shower model is formulated for the initial radiation in the e^+e^- annihilation. The generator based on it gives us events with q^2, which is a virtual mass squared of the virtual photon and/or Z-boson, in accuracy of 0.04%, except for small q^2/S.Comment: 35 pages, 1 figure(eps-file

Efficient Method for Quantum Number Projection and Its Application to Tetrahedral Nuclear States

We have developed an efficient method for quantum number projection from most general HFB type mean-field states, where all the symmetries like axial symmetry, number conservation, parity and time-reversal invariance are broken. Applying the method, we have microscopically calculated, for the first time, the energy spectra based on the exotic tetrahedral deformation in $^{108,110}$Zr. The nice low-lying rotational spectra, which have all characteristic features of the molecular tetrahedral rotor, are obtained for large tetrahedral deformation, \alpha_{32} \gtsim 0.25, while the spectra are of transitional nature between vibrational and rotational with rather high excitation energies for $\alpha_{32}\approx 0.1-0.2$Comment: Trivial mistakes are correcte

Estratégia complementar para conservação de espécies florestais nativas: resgate e conservação de ecótipos ameaçados.

A devastação das florestas brasileiras vem tomando proporções alarmantes em todos os biomas, colocando muitas espécies de microorganismos, animais e plantas sob risco de extinção devido à descaracterização do habitat. Medidas governamentais contra esse processo de destruição incluem o estabelecimento de unidades de conservação e os programas de plantio de espécies nativas com objetivos variados, como a recuperação de ecossistemas degradados e o estabelecimento de reservas legais, áreas de proteção permanente e outros. As unidades de conservação são fundamentais na conservação de ecossistemas naturais. No entanto, na conservação da variabilidade ecotípica de espécies florestais, sua eficácia se restringe aos limites físicos da sua área de influência. Considerando que a maior parte dos ecótipos florestais de grande significado adaptativo localiza-se fora das unidades de conservação, medidas complementares são indispensáveis, preferencialmente, com a participação de produtores rurais, sobretudo os de pequena escala, por estarem presentes em todo o território nacional. A estratégia proposta tem como ponto fundamental evitar o plantio de sementes ou mudas em locais distantes de suas origens, visando preservar as características adaptativas próprias de cada ecossistema. Para isso, recomendam-se procedimentos para a amostragem de matrizes e instalação de povoamentos florestais para conservação mediante uso pelos produtores rurais
