Unterschiedliche Abteilungen und Fakultäten haben jeweils für sie optimale Softwarelösungen ausgewählt und in ihre Arbeitsabläufe integriert. Die aktuellen Anforderungen an die Universitäten erfordern eine Integration der unterschiedlichen Insellösungen. Die TU-Berlin setzt hierbei auf ein eigenes Produkt, das auf Basis verschiedener Open Source-Lösungen erstellt wurde und stetig erweitert wird. Dabei werden nicht nur Daten zusammengeführt, sondern auch ein universitätsweites, rollen-basiertes Rechtesystem etabliert, das sich, wie bereits gezeigt, in unterschiedliche Anwendungen integrieren lässt

Calculating Kaon Fragmentation Functions from NJL-Jet Model

The Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) - Jet model provides a sound framework for calculating the fragmentation functions in an effective chiral quark theory, where the momentum and isospin sum rules are satisfied without the introduction of ad hoc parameters. Earlier studies of the pion fragmentation functions using the NJL model within this framework showed qualitative agreement with the empirical parameterizations. Here we extend the NJL-Jet model by including the strange quark. The corrections to the pion fragmentation functions and corresponding kaon fragmentation functions are calculated using the elementary quark to quark-meson fragmentation functions from NJL. The results for the kaon fragmentation functions exhibit a qualitative agreement with the empirical parameterizations, while the unfavored strange quark fragmentation to pions is shown to be of the same order of magnitude as the unfavored light quark's. The results of these studies are expected to provide important guidance for the analysis of a large variety of semi-inclusive data.Comment: 9 pages, 14 figure

Monte Carlo Simulations of Hadronic Fragmentation Functions using NJL-Jet Model

The recently developed Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) - Jet model is used as an effective chiral quark theory to calculate the quark fragmentation functions to pions, kaons, nucleons, and antinucleons. The effects of the vector mesons rho, K* and phi on the production of secondary pions and kaons are included. The fragmentation processes to nucleons and antinucleons are described by using the quark-diquark picture, which has been shown to give a reasonable description of quark distribution functions. We incorporate effects of next-to-leading order (NLO) in the Q^2 evolution, and compare our results with the empirical fragmentation functions.Comment: 27 pages, 13 figure

Unusual weak magnetic exchange in two different structure types: YbPt2_2Sn and YbPt2_2In

We present the structural, magnetic, thermodynamic, and transport properties of the two new compounds YbPt$_2$Sn and YbPt$_2$In. X-ray powder diffraction shows that they crystallize in different structure types, the hexagonal ZrPt$_2$Al and the cubic Heusler type, respectively. Despite quite different lattice types, both compounds present very similar magnetic properties: a stable trivalent Yb$^{3+}$, no evidence for a sizeable Kondo interaction, and very weak exchange interactions with a strength below 1K as deduced from specific heat $C(T)$. Broad anomalies in $C(T)$ suggest short range magnetic ordering at about 250mK and 180mK for YbPt$_2$Sn and YbPt$_2$In, respectively. The weak exchange and the low ordering temperature result in a large magnetocaloric effect as deduced from the magnetic field dependence of $C(T)$, making these compounds interesting candidates for magnetic cooling. In addition we found in YbPt$_2$In evidences for a charge density wave transition at about 290K. The occurrence of such transitions within several RET$_2$X compound series (RE = rare earth, T = noble metal, X = In, Sn) is analyzed.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figure

Magnetic structure and dynamics of a strongly one-dimensional cobaltII^{II} metal-organic framework

We investigate the magnetism of the Co$^{II}_4$(OH)$_2$(C$_1$$_0$H$_1$$_6$O$_4$)$_3$ metal-organic framework which displays complex inorganic chains separated from each other by distances of 1 to 2 nm, and which orders at ~5.4 K. The zero-field magnetic structure is determined using neutron powder diffraction: it is mainly antiferromagnetic but posseses a ferromagnetic component along the $\textbf{c}$-axis. This magnetic structure persists in presence of a magnetic field. Ac susceptibility measurements confirm the existence of a single thermally activated regime over 7 decades in frequency ($E/k_B\approx64 K$) whereas time-dependent relaxation of the magnetization after saturation in an external field leads to a two times smaller energy barrier. These experiments probe the slow dynamics of domain walls within the chains: we propose that the ac measurements are sensitive to the motion of existing domain walls within the chains, while the magnetization measurements are governed by the creation of domain walls.Comment: 12 pages, 14 figure
