    Phenomenology of the Electron Structure Function

    Full text link
    Advantages of introducing the electron structure function (ESF) in electron induced processes are demonstrated. Contrary to the photon structure function it is directly measured in such processes. At present energies a simultaneous analysis of both the electron and the photon structure functions gives an important test of the experimentally applied methods. Estimates of the ESF at currently measured momenta are given. At very high momenta contributions from WW and ZZ bosons together with γ\gamma-ZZ interference can be observed. Predictions for next generation of experiments are given.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures New version, new figures adde

    The 'Square Root' of the Interacting Dirac Equation

    Full text link
    The 'square root' of the interacting Dirac equation is constructed. The obtained equations lead to the Yang-Mills superfield with the appropriate equations of motion for the component fields.Comment: 6 page

    Seeking for a fingerprint: analysis of point processes in actigraphy recording

    Motor activity of humans displays complex temporal fluctuations which can be characterized by scale-invariant statistics, thus documenting that structure and fluctuations of such kinetics remain similar over a broad range of time scales. Former studies on humans regularly deprived of sleep or suffering from sleep disorders predicted change in the invariant scale parameters with respect to those representative for healthy subjects. In this study we investigate the signal patterns from actigraphy recordings by means of characteristic measures of fractional point processes. We analyse spontaneous locomotor activity of healthy individuals recorded during a week of regular sleep and a week of chronic partial sleep deprivation. Behavioural symptoms of lack of sleep can be evaluated by analysing statistics of duration times during active and resting states, and alteration of behavioural organization can be assessed by analysis of power laws detected in the event count distribution, distribution of waiting times between consecutive movements and detrended fluctuation analysis of recorded time series. We claim that among different measures characterizing complexity of the actigraphy recordings and their variations implied by chronic sleep distress, the exponents characterizing slopes of survival functions in resting states are the most effective biomarkers distinguishing between healthy and sleep-deprived groups.Comment: Communicated at UPON2015, 14-17 July 2015, Barcelona. 21 pages, 11 figures; updated: figures 4-7, text revised, expanded Sec. 1,3,

    Fermi edge singularity in neutral electron-hole system

    Full text link
    In neutral dense electron-hole (e-h) systems at low temperatures, theory predicts Cooper-pair-like excitons at the Fermi energy and a BCS-like exciton condensation. Optical excitation allows creating e-h systems with the densities controlled by the excitation power. However, the intense optical excitations required to achieve high densities cause substantial heating of the e-h system that prevents the realization of dense and cold e-h systems in conventional semiconductors. In this work, we study e-h systems created by optical excitation in separated electron and hole layers. The layer separation increases the e-h recombination time and, in turn, the density for a given optical excitation by orders of magnitude and, as a result, enables the realization of the dense and cold e-h system. We found a strong enhancement of photoluminescence intensity at the Fermi energy of the neutral dense ultracold e-h system that evidences the emergence of excitonic Fermi edge singularity due to the Cooper-pair-like excitons at the Fermi energy
