    Two component Bose-Hubbard model with higher angular momentum states

    Full text link
    We study a Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian of ultracold two component gas of spinor Chromium atoms. Dipolar interactions of magnetic moments while tuned resonantly by ultralow magnetic field can lead to spin flipping. Due to approximate axial symmetry of individual lattice site, total angular momentum is conserved. Therefore, all changes of the spin are accompanied by the appearance of the angular orbital momentum. This way excited Wannier states with non vanishing angular orbital momentum can be created. Resonant dipolar coupling of the two component Bose gas introduces additional degree of control of the system, and leads to a variety of different stable phases. The phase diagram for small number of particles is discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

    Exploring the Spin Structure of the Proton with Two-Body Partonic Scattering at RHIC

    The STAR collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is using polarized proton beams at sqrt{s} = 200 GeV to study the spin structure of the proton. The first results for the double spin helicity dependence of inclusive jet production are presented along with projections for additional data taken in 2005 and 2006. When fully analyzed these data sets should place strong constraints on the possible contribution of gluonic spin to the proton spin as expressed by Delta G. Future studies using 2-jet or photon-jet coincidences to map out the gluon spin distribution vs. the gluon's momentum fraction of the proton are discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, presented at the 18th Int. IUPAP Conf. on Few-Body Problems in Physics, Santos, Sao Paulo, Brazil, August 21-26,200

    Future Investigations of the Flavor Dependence of Sea Quark Helicities at STAR

    Full text link
    The flavor dependence of polarized and unpolarized quark distributions in the nucleon can lead to insights into the formation of the sea. Drell-Yan measurements have pointed to flavor asymmetries in the unpolarized distributions. Collisions at sqrt{s}=500 GeV with polarized protons at RHIC will soon allow investigations of the flavor separated polarized quark distributions via W production to complement measurements from semi-inclusive DIS. We report on STAR's current plans, tracking upgrade, and expected sensitivities.Comment: 4 pages, to appear in the proceedings of the 18th International Spin Physics Symposium (Spin08), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA, October 6 - 11, 200

    Draft genome sequence of the UV-Resistant antarctic bacterium Sphingomonas sp. strain UV9

    Get PDF
    We report the draft genome sequence of the Antarctic UV-resistant bacterium Sphingomonas sp. strain UV9. The strain has a genome size of 4.25 Mb, a 65.62% GC content, and 3,879 protein-coding sequences. Among others, genes encoding the resolving of the DNA damage produced by the UV irradiation were identified

    The Results Are In! Updated Alternative I-O Graduate Program Rankings

    Get PDF
    In the summer of 2016, we issued a Call for Proposals to submit unique and innovative methodologies to rank I-O graduate programs. In response to this, many projects were proposed to us. After much hard work (and the broader SIOP community’s help), the five selected projects have been completed. Each of these five papers are included in the current issue of TIP. We believe each of these papers will be an important contribution to our field and will guide individuals in the future – as well as generate much thought and discussion about the state of our field and the programs that educate the future of IO Psychology. In particular, we hope that these rankings will result in graduate programs examining them-selves and thinking about ways they excel, as well as areas they could improve. Additionally, we hope that future undergraduate students applying to I-O programs will use these rankings, not to determine what the “best” programs are, but which programs are the best fit for them

    I-O Graduate Program Rankings: Update

    Get PDF
    In the summer 2016 issue of TIP (Salter et al., 2016), we put out a Call for Proposals for updated I-O graduate program rankings. In this call, we were looking for new and unique methodologies for ranking I-O graduate programs that reflect the diversity of values and strengths across our field. We are pleased to announce we have conditionally accepted five proposals. Each of these teams will now conduct their project (which we hope all SIOP members will help with once data collection begins); we anticipate the final rankings will be published in the summer 2018 issue of TIP. Please note that the goal of this project is to make our methodologies public before data collection to reduce the likelihood of researcher degrees of freedom influencing the results. Although frequently unintentional, it is all too common for analytic decisions to be driven in part by the results that follow. Our goal is to achieve transparency in the way rankings were conducted and to present multiple methodologies, to aid students and educators in their decision making
