Bose-Einstein correlations at LEP and Tevatron energies
Using the Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) implemented in PYTHIA we
investigated a possibility of the CDF experiment at the Tevatron to see the
two-particle correlations in the final state of interactions. The approach
based on quantum field theory at finite temperature was applied to the ALEPH
data at LEP, and the BEC important parameters were retrieved.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, 1 table. Based on the talk gived at The 6th

Transfer matrix solution of the Wako-Sait\^o-Mu\~noz-Eaton model augmented by arbitrary short range interactions
The Wako-Sait{\^o}-Mu\~noz-Eaton (WSME) model, initially introduced in the
theory of protein folding, has also been used in modeling the RNA folding and
some epitaxial phenomena. The advantage of this model is that it admits exact
solution in the general inhomogeneous case (Bruscolini and Pelizzola, 2002)
which facilitates the study of realistic systems. However, a shortcoming of the
model is that it accounts only for interactions within continuous stretches of
native bonds or atomic chains while neglecting interstretch (interchain)
interactions. But due to the biopolymer (atomic chain) flexibility, the
monomers (atoms) separated by several non-native bonds along the sequence can
become closely spaced. This produces their strong interaction. The inclusion of
non-WSME interactions into the model makes the model more realistic and
improves its performance. In this study we add arbitrary interactions of finite
range and solve the new model by means of the transfer matrix technique. We can
therefore exactly account for the interactions which in proteomics are
classified as medium- and moderately long-range ones.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figure
An exactly solvable model for a beta-hairpin with random interactions
I investigate a disordered version of a simplified model of protein folding,
with binary degrees of freedom, applied to an ideal beta-hairpin structure.
Disorder is introduced by assuming that the contact energies are independent
and identically distributed random variables. The equilibrium free-energy of
the model is studied, performing the exact calculation of its quenched value
and proving the self-averaging feature.Comment: 9 page
Constraints on the intrinsic charm content of the proton from recent ATLAS data
Constraints on the intrinsic charm probability \wccm = P_{{\mathrm{c}\bar
\mathrm{c}} / \mathrm{p}} in the proton are obtained for the first time from
LHC measurements. The ATLAS Collaboration data for the production of prompt
photons, accompanied by a charm-quark jet in pp collisions at
TeV, are used. The upper limit \mbox{\wccm < 1.93~\%} is obtained at the
68~\% confidence level. This constraint is primarily determined from the
theoretical scale and systematical experimental uncertainties. Suggestions for
reducing these uncertainties are discussed. The implications of intrinsic heavy
quarks in the proton for future studies at the LHC are also discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
