Bloom-Gilman duality of inelastic structure functions in nucleon and nuclei
The Bloom-Gilman local duality of the inelastic structure function of the
proton, the deuteron and light complex nuclei is investigated using available
experimental data in the squared four-momentum transfer range from 0.3 to 5
(GeV/c)**2. The results of our analysis suggest that the onset of the
Bloom-Gilman local duality is anticipated in complex nuclei with respect to the
case of the protonand the deuteron. A possible interpretation of this result in
terms of a rescaling effect is discussed with particular emphasis to the
possibility of reproducing the damping of the nucleon-resonance transitions
observed in recent electroproduction data off nuclei.Comment: revised version, to appear in Physical Review
Moments of Nucleon Light Cone Quark Distributions Calculated in Full Lattice QCD
Moments of the quark density, helicity, and transversity distributions are
calculated in unquenched lattice QCD. Calculations of proton matrix elements of
operators corresponding to these moments through the operator product expansion
have been performed on lattices for Wilson fermions at using configurations from the SESAM collaboration and at
using configurations from SCRI. One-loop perturbative renormalization
corrections are included. At quark masses accessible in present calculations,
there is no statistically significant difference between quenched and full QCD
results, indicating that the contributions of quark-antiquark excitations from
the Dirac Sea are small. Close agreement between calculations with cooled
configurations containing essentially only instantons and the full gluon
configurations indicates that quark zero modes associated with instantons play
a dominant role. Naive linear extrapolation of the full QCD calculation to the
physical pion mass yields results inconsistent with experiment. Extrapolation
to the chiral limit including the physics of the pion cloud can resolve this
discrepancy and the requirements for a definitive chiral extrapolation are
described.Comment: 53 Pages Revtex, 26 Figures, 9 Tables. Added additional reference and

First AMBER/VLTI observations of hot massive stars
AMBER is the first near infrared focal instrument of the VLTI. It combines
three telescopes and produces spectrally resolved interferometric measures.
This paper discusses some preliminary results of the first scientific
observations of AMBER with three Unit Telescopes at medium (1500) and high
(12000) spectral resolution. We derive a first set of constraints on the
structure of the circumstellar material around the Wolf Rayet Gamma2 Velorum
and the LBV Eta Carinae
Measurement of the Neutron Spin Structure Function with a Polarized ^3He Target
Results are reported from the HERMES experiment at HERA on a measurement of

The SPHERE infrared survey for exoplanets (SHINE). III. The demographics of young giant exoplanets below 300 au with SPHERE
The SHINE project is a 500-star survey performed with SPHERE on the VLT for
the purpose of directly detecting new substellar companions and understanding
their formation and early evolution. Here we present an initial statistical
analysis for a subsample of 150 stars that are representative of the full SHINE
sample. Our goal is to constrain the frequency of substellar companions with
masses between 1 and 75 MJup and semimajor axes between 5 and 300 au. We adopt
detection limits as a function of angular separation from the survey data for
all stars converted into mass and projected orbital separation using the
BEX-COND-hot evolutionary tracks and known distance to each system. Based on
the results obtained for each star and on the 13 detections in the sample, we
use a MCMC tool to compare our observations to two different types of models.
The first is a parametric model based on observational constraints, and the
second type are numerical models that combine advanced core accretion and
gravitational instability planet population synthesis. Using the parametric
model, we show that the frequencies of systems with at least one substellar
companion are , , and
for BA, FGK, and M stars, respectively. We also
demonstrate that a planet-like formation pathway probably dominates the mass
range from 1-75 MJup for companions around BA stars, while for M dwarfs, brown
dwarf binaries dominate detections. In contrast, a combination of binary
star-like and planet-like formation is required to best fit the observations
for FGK stars. Using our population model and restricting our sample to FGK
stars, we derive a frequency of , consistent with
predictions from the parametric model. More generally, the frequency values
that we derive are in excellent agreement with values obtained in previous
studies.Comment: 24 pages, 14 figures, 3 tables. Accepted for publication in A&
