Subleading Sudakov Logarithms in Electroweak Processes

Recent results for the asymptotic behavior of fermion scattering amplitudes in the Sudakov limit are presented including next-to-leading logarithmic corrections. These are used for the analysis of the dominant electroweak corrections to the fermion-antifermion pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at high energy.Comment: 6 pages, Latex, npb.sty is required (included).

ОПЕРАТИВНОЕ ЛЕЧЕНИЕ ВЕРТИКАЛЬНО-НЕСТАБИЛЬНЫХ ПОВРЕЖДЕНИЙ ТАЗА (ТИП С ПО КЛАССИФИКАЦИИ АО)

The study is based on the analysis of the results of surgery on 34 patients with vertically unstable injuries of the pelvis at the age 16-61 operated on the period 2006-2010. Two following major methods of operative treatment were used: external fixation and combination of external and internal fixation. According to characteristics of posterior part of pelvis injuries patient were distributed as following: 19 patients with rupture of sacro-iliac joint, 15 patients with fracture of sacrum. In 18 patients injuries were associated with neuropathy of plexus sacralis. Follow-up long term results were estimated by Majeed scale. In the group of patients with vertically unstable injuries excellent results were achieved in 15 (45%) cases, good - in 10 (30%), satisfactory - in 9 (25%) patients.Работа основана на анализе результатов лечения 34 пациентов с вертикально-нестабильными повреждениями таза в возрасте от 16 до 61 года лечившихся в период с 2006 по 2010 гг. Основными методами лечения пострадавших были внешняя фиксация аппаратом и комбинированная фиксация. По характеру повреждений заднего отдела у 19 пациентов были повреждения крестцово-подвздошного сочленения, у 15 - переломы крестца, повреждения крестцового сплетения у 18 пациентов. Отдаленные результаты оценивали по шкале Majeed. У пациентов с вертикально-нестабильными повреждениями отличные результаты получены у 15 (45%), хорошие - у 10 (30%), удовлетворительные - у 9 пациентов (25%)

Two-Loop Static QCD Potential for General Colour State

In this letter, we extend the known results for the QCD potential between a static quark and its antiquark by computing the two-loop corrections to the colour-octet state.Comment: 7 page

NIR Microscopy Possibilities for the Visualization of Silicon Microelectronic Structure Topology through the Substrate

AbstractExperimental setup based on visible and NIR spectral range microscope with laser port and picosecond laser is developed for silicon integrated circuit (IC) failure analysis. The possibility of visualizing the topology of the submicron technology silicon structures from the back side of the crystal through the substrate is shown. Main features of new setup are demonstrated by some results of backside focused pulsed laser beam initiated latchup effect study. The possibility of the localization of the latchup sensitive areas under focused laser irradiation is shown. NIR light emission accompanying the latchup effect is observed and analyzed. The practical aspects of NIR microscopy for failure analysis under backside laser irradiation are discussed

Particle-Field Duality and Form Factors from Vertex Operators

Using a duality between the space of particles and the space of fields, we show how one can compute form factors directly in the space of fields. This introduces the notion of vertex operators, and form factors are vacuum expectation values of such vertex operators in the space of fields. The vertex operators can be constructed explicitly in radial quantization. Furthermore, these vertex operators can be exactly bosonized in momentum space. We develop these ideas by studying the free-fermion point of the sine-Gordon theory, and use this scheme to compute some form-factors of some non-free fields in the sine-Gordon theory. This work further clarifies earlier work of one of the authors, and extends it to include the periodic sector.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figures, CLNS 93/??

Quantization of Solitons and the Restricted Sine-Gordon Model

We show how to compute form factors, matrix elements of local fields, in the restricted sine-Gordon model, at the reflectionless points, by quantizing solitons. We introduce (quantum) separated variables in which the Hamiltonians are expressed in terms of (quantum) tau-functions. We explicitly describe the soliton wave functions, and we explain how the restriction is related to an unusual hermitian structure. We also present a semi-classical analysis which enlightens the fact that the restricted sine-Gordon model corresponds to an analytical continuation of the sine-Gordon model, intermediate between sine-Gordon and KdV.Comment: 29 pages, Latex, minor updatin

Two-Dimensional Critical Percolation: The Full Scaling Limit

We use SLE(6) paths to construct a process of continuum nonsimple loops in the plane and prove that this process coincides with the full continuum scaling limit of 2D critical site percolation on the triangular lattice -- that is, the scaling limit of the set of all interfaces between different clusters. Some properties of the loop process, including conformal invariance, are also proved.Comment: 45 pages, 12 figures. This is a revised version of math.PR/0504036 without the appendice

Two-Loop Photonic Corrections to Massive Bhabha Scattering

We describe the details of the evaluation of the two-loop radiative photonic corrections to Bhabha scattering. The role of the corrections in the high-precision luminosity determination at present and future electron-positron colliders is discussed.Comment: 20 pages, Latex; discussion, references added; to appear in Nucl.Phys.

M(Bc∗)−M(Bc)M(B^*_c)-M(B_c) Splitting from Nonrelativistic Renormalization Group

We compute the hyperfine splitting in a heavy quarkonium composed of different flavors in next-to-leading logarithmic approximation using the nonrelativistic renormalization group. We predict the mass difference of the vector and pseudoscalar charm-bottom mesons to be $M(B^*_c)-M(B_c)=46 \pm 15 {(\rm th)} {}^{+13}_{-11} (\delta\alpha_s)$ MeV.Comment: Eq.(22) and Appendix corrected, numerical results slightly changed. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:hep-ph/031208

Next-to-Next-to-Leading Logarithms in Four-Fermion Electroweak Processes at High Energy

We sum up the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic virtual electroweak corrections to the high energy asymptotics of the neutral current four-fermion processes for light fermions to all orders in the coupling constants using the evolution equation approach. From this all order result we derive finite order expressions through next-to-next-to leading order for the total cross section and various asymmetries. We observe an amazing cancellation between the sizable leading, next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic contributions at TeV energies.Comment: latex, 20 pages; coupling constant in the fermionic contribution to the electroweak corrections correcte
