Gluon and Ghost Dynamics from Lattice QCD
The two point gluon and ghost correlation functions and the three gluon
vertex are investigated, in the Landau gauge, using lattice simulations. For
the two point functions, we discuss the approach to the continuum limit looking
at the dependence on the lattice spacing and volume. The analytical structure
of the propagators is also investigated by computing the corresponding spectral
functions using an implementation of the Tikhonov regularisation to solve the
integral equation. For the three point function we report results when the
momentum of one of the gluon lines is set to zero and discuss its implications.Comment: Proceedings of Light Cone 2016, held in Lisbon, September 2016. Minor

Application of the method of multiple scales to unravel energy exchange in nonlinear locally resonant metamaterials
In this paper, the effect of weak nonlinearities in 1D locally resonant
metamaterials is investigated via the method of multiple scales. Commonly
employed to the investigate the effect of weakly nonlinear interactions on the
free wave propagation through a phononic structure or on the dynamic response
of a Duffing oscillator, the method of multiple scales is here used to
investigate the forced wave propagation through locally resonant metamaterials.
The perturbation approach reveals that energy exchange may occur between
propagative and evanescent waves induced by quadratic nonlinear local
interaction
Preliminary Results on the Empirical Applicability of the Tsallis Distribution in Elastic Hadron Scattering
We show that the proton-proton elastic differential cross section data at dip
position and beyond can be quite well described by a parametrization based on
the Tsallis distribution, with only five free fit parameters. Extrapolation of
the results obtained at 7 TeV to large momentum transfer, suggests that hadrons
may not behave as a black-disk at the asymptotic energy region.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, version matching proceedings style, XII Hadron
