t-tbar Pair production cross section measurement at the LHC
Measurement of pair production cross sections with an integrated
luminosity of around 1 fb at = 7 TeV obtained with the ATLAS
and CMS detectors are reported. The inclusive cross sections in dilepton (ee,
, and ), lepton+jets (e, ) and all hadronic decay
modes are measured. In addition to inclusive cross section measurement, the
study of jet multiplicity with additional jets are also presented, which is
important to constrain the initial state radiation. Measurement of the charge
asymmetry at the LHC is also presented. All measurements are compatible with
Standard Model predictions.Comment: Presented at the 2011 Hadron Collider Physics symposium (HCP-2011),

Disruption of Molecular Clouds by Expansion of Dusty H II Regions
Dynamical expansion of H II regions around star clusters plays a key role in
dispersing the surrounding dense gas and therefore in limiting the efficiency
of star formation in molecular clouds. We use a semi-analytic method and
numerical simulations to explore expansion of spherical dusty H II regions and
surrounding neutral shells and the resulting cloud disruption. Our model for
shell expansion adopts the static solutions of Draine (2011) for dusty H II
regions and considers the contact outward forces on the shell due to radiation
and thermal pressures as well as the inward gravity from the central star and
the shell itself. We show that the internal structure we adopt and the shell
evolution from the semi-analytic approach are in good agreement with the
results of numerical simulations. Strong radiation pressure in the interior
controls the shell expansion indirectly by enhancing the density and pressure
at the ionization front. We calculate the minimum star formation efficiency
required for cloud disruption as a function of the cloud's
total mass and mean surface density. Within the adopted spherical geometry, we
find that typical giant molecular clouds in normal disk galaxies have
%, with comparable gas and radiation pressure
effects on shell expansion. Massive cluster-forming clumps require a
significantly higher efficiency of % for disruption,
produced mainly by radiation-driven expansion. The disruption time is typically
of the order of a free-fall timescale, suggesting that the cloud disruption
occurs rapidly once a sufficiently luminous H II region is formed. We also
discuss limitations of the spherical idealization.Comment: 23 pages, 14 figures; Accepted for publication in Ap
Development of Ocean Economy Satellite Account in Korea
The ocean has emerged as a new solution to new growth engines. However, some issues remain to be resolved, such as unified concepts and evaluation methods for the ocean economy, comparability between the national economy and the ocean economy, and the connection between global and national assessments. Since the ocean economy comprises various complex industries, it is necessary to establish policies based on an objective analysis of economic indicators. However, there have been difficulties in analyzing industrial activities related to the ocean economy within the national account system. To more accurately calculate the share of the ocean economy sector in the national economy, it is necessary to create a satellite account that reflects the characteristics of the ocean economic activities while maintaining consistency with the national account. This study aims to develop a satellite account for the ocean economy, a measurement of GDP in the ocean sector, which can correspond with the national accounts system and intends to propose Korean practices as a framework in the process of discussing international guidelines. This study introduces a potential structure for Korea\u27s ocean economy satellite account, the principles, methods, and data used for value coefficient estimation, and finally presents pilot results for several components of the ocean economy. This account can be utilized to diagnose the economic position as well as the policy effects of Korea’s ocean economy sector while contributing to the establishment of mid-to-long term industrial policies. This case study of Korean practices can be an important example that offers a framework and principles for international discussions
