Geometric Scaling and QCD Dynamics in DIS

DIS data from HERA show a striking regularity as \sigma^{\gamma^* p} is a function of the ratio \tau=Q^2/Q_s^2(x) only. The scaling function shows a break at \tau ~ 1, which has been taken as an indication for saturation. However, besides saturation also the transition between dominance of k_t-ordered (DGLAP) and k_t-non-ordered (BFKL) evolution contributes to a break around this value of \tau, as well as the suppression for small Q^2 due to finite quark masses and confinement. In this paper we use a dipole cascade model based on Mueller's dipole model, which also includes energy conservation and pomeron mergins, to investigate the contributions of these different effects to the scaling behaviour. As a result we predict that the scaling function for \tau 1 GeV^2 become available. We also investigate the scaling properties of the charm contribution and the impact parameter dependence of the saturation scale.Comment: references added, figures 2, 7 and 8 updated v3: reference added, some misprints correcte

Arnold diffusion in the dynamics of a 4-machine power system undergoing a large fault

We focus on the seemingly complicated dynamics of a four-machine power system which is undergoing a sudden fault. Adopting a Hamiltonian (energy) formulation, we consider the system as an interconnection of (one degree of freedom) subsystems. Under certain configuration (a star network) and parameter values we establish the presence of Arnold diffusion which entails periodic, almost periodic, and complicated nonperiodic dyanmics all simultaneously present; and erratic transfer of energies between the subsystems. In section 1 we introduce the transient stability problem in a mathematical setting and explain what our results mean in the power systems context. Section 2 provides insights into Arnold diffusion and summarizes its mathematical formulation as in [8], [1]. Section 3 gives conditions for which Arnold diffusion arises on certain energy levels of the swing equations. These conditions are verified analytically in the case when all but one subsystem (machine) undergo relatively small oscillations

Spectrum of D=6, N=4b Supergravity on AdS_3 x S^3

The complete spectrum of D=6, N=4b supergravity with n tensor multiplets compactified on AdS_3 x S^3 is determined. The D=6 theory obtained from the K_3 compactification of Type IIB string requires that n=21, but we let n be arbitrary. The superalgebra that underlies the symmetry of the resulting supergravity theory in AdS_3 coupled to matter is SU(1,1|2)_L x SU(1,1|2)_R. The theory also has an unbroken global SO(4)_R x SO(n) symmetry inherited from D=6. The spectrum of states arranges itself into a tower of spin-2 supermultiplets, a tower of spin-1, SO(n) singlet supermultiplets, a tower of spin-1 supermultiplets in the vector representation of SO(n) and a special spin-1/2 supermultiplet also in the vector representation of SO(n). The SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R Yang-Mills states reside in the second level of the spin-2 tower and the lowest level of the spin-1, SO(n) singlet tower and the associated field theory exhibits interesting properties.Comment: 37 pages, latex, 5 tables and 3 figures, typos corrected, a reference adde

AC voltage regulation of a bidirectional high-frequency link converter using a deadbeat controller

This paper presents a digital controller for AC voltage regulation of a bidirectional high-frequency link (BHFL) inverter using Deadbeat control. The proposed controller consists of inner current loop, outer voltage loop and a feed-forward controller, which imposes a gain scheduling effect according to the reference signal to compensate the steady-state error of the system. The main property of the proposed controller is that the current- and the voltage-loop controllers have the same structure, and use the same sampling period. This simplifies the design and implementation processes. To improve the overall performance of the system, additional disturbance decoupling networks are employed. This takes into account the model discretization effect. Therefore, accurate disturbance decoupling can be achieved, and the system robustness towards load variations is increased. To avoid transformer saturation due to low frequency voltage envelopes, an equalized pulse width modulation (PWM) technique has been introduced. The proposed controller has been realized using the DS1104 digital signal processor (DSP) from dSPACE. Its performances have been tested on a one kVA prototype inverter. Experimental results showed that the proposed controller has very fast dynamic and good steady-state responses even under highly nonlinear loads

Vector boson mass generation without new fields

Previously a model of only vector fields with a local U(2) symmetry was introduced for which one finds a massless U(1) photon and a massive SU(2) vector boson in the lattice regularization. Here it is shown that quantization of its classical continuum action leads to perturbative renormalization difficulties. But, non-perturbative Monte Carlo calculations favor the existence of a quantum continuum limit.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables. Revised after referee reports. One error eliminate

Komunikasi Antarbudaya Studi Negosiasi Wajah dalam Interaksi Etnik Batak dan Etnik Minang di Duri Kelurahan Gajah Sakti Kecamatan Mandau Kabupaten Bengkalis

Indonesian society is a plural society. This pluralism is made up of diverse national backgrounds in tribes, religions, races and classes. In addition to this every culture also has certain characteristics such as differences in language, customs, and habits, food and norms and values are believed. This makes the two ethnics in the city Duri ethnic Batak and ethnic Minang require to be able to adapt to different cultures. In the process of daily interaction the differences between ethnic Batak and ethnic Minang cause misunderstandings occur in everyday interactions seen from the form Facework seen from the negotiation of the face of each ethnic. This study aims to determine the forms of intercultural communication facework between ethnic batak and ethnic Minang when interacting in their daily life as well as ethnic conflict management in facial rescue to maintain their respective cultural identity in the city of Duri Kelurahan Gajah Sakti, Mandau District Bengkalis District.This research uses qualitative method with Phenomenology approach by Alfred Schutz. The location of this research is in Duri City of Gajah Sakti Village, Mandau Sub-district, Bengkalis Regency. Informants in this study amounted to ten people and determined by purposive technique. Data collection techniques used in the form of observation, interview and documentation. In achieving the validity of the data in this study, the authors use extension of participation and triangulation.The results of this study indicate that the intercultural interactions that.occur between ethnic Batak and ethnic Minang show accommodative behavior in the form of Facework through facial negotiation in the form of verbal and nonverbal when interacting in ethnic batak ethnic and ethnic Minang. Intercultural communication of ethnic Batak and ethnic Minang also experience obstacles such as cultural barriers, parangliustik, different perceptions and different nonverbal habits. These barriers are resolved through conflict managem

Diffractive Excitation in DIS and pp Collisions

We have in earlier papers presented an extension of Mueller's dipole cascade model, which includes subleading effects from energy conservation and running coupling as well as colour suppressed effects from pomeron loops via a ``dipole swing''. The model was applied to describe the total cross sections in pp and gamma*p collisions. In this paper we present a number of improvements of the model, in particular related to the confinement mechanism. A consistent treatment of dipole evolution and dipole--dipole interactions is achieved by replacing the infinite range Coulomb potential by a screened potential, which further improves the frame-independence of the model. We then apply the model to elastic scattering and diffractive excitation, where we specifically study the effects of different sources for fluctuations. In our formalism we can take into account contributions from all different sources, from the dipole cascade evolution, the dipole--dipole scattering, from the impact-parameter dependence, and from the initial photon and proton wavefunctions. Good agreement is obtained with data from the Tevatron and from HERA, and we also present some predictions for the LHC.Comment: correction of titl

A hadron model with breaking of spatial homogeneity of vacuum

A possible breaking of spatial homogeneity of vacuum due to the interaction between quark and Bose-field is analyzed. It is shown that in this case quark can be in a localized state (like wave packet). Energetic conditions for such a spontaneous symmetry breaking are found in suggested model. Possible consequences of such symmetry breaking, in particular, the origin of deep inelastic processes and quark confinement phenomenon are discussed.Comment: 4 page

Gauged D=7 Supergravity on the S**1/Z_2 Orbifold

We construct the most general couplings of a bulk seven-dimensional Yang-Mills-Einstein N=2 supergravity with a boundary six-dimensional chiral N=(0,1) theory of vectors and charged hypermultiplets. The boundary consists of two brane worlds sitting at the fixed points of an S^1/Z_2 compactification of the seven-dimensional bulk supergravity. The resulting 6D massless spectrum surviving the orbifold projection is anomalous. By introducing boundary fields at the orbifold fixed points, we show that all anomalies are cancelled by a Green-Schwarz mechanism. In addition, all couplings of the boundary fields to the bulk are completely specified by supersymmetry. We emphasize that there is no bulk Chern-Simons term to cancel the anomalies. The latter is traded for a Green-Schwarz term which emerges in the boundary theory after a duality transformation implemented to construct the bulk supergravity.Comment: LaTeX, 42 pages; typos corrected, reference added, version to appear in Phys.
