Omega_{ccc} production via fragmentation at LHC
In the framework of the leading order of perturbative QCD and the
nonrelativistic quark-diquark model of baryons we have obtained fragmentation
function for c-quark to split into Omega_{ccc} baryon. It is shown that at LHC
one can expect 3.5 10^3 events with Omega_{ccc} at p_t>5 GeV/c and -1<y<1 per
year.Comment: LaTex, 5 pages and 2 figures. Talk presented at XIV Workshop on High

Continuous Neel to Bloch Transition as Thickness Increases: Statics and Dynamics
We analyze the properties of Neel and Bloch domain walls as a function of
film thickness h, for systems where, in addition to exchange, the dipole-dipole
interaction must be included. The Neel to Bloch phase transition is found to be
a second order transition at hc, mediated by a single unstable mode that
corresponds to oscillatory motion of the domain wall center. A uniform
out-of-plane rf-field couples strongly to this critical mode only in the Neel
phase. An analytical Landau theory shows that the critical mode frequency
varies as the square root of (hc - h) just below the transition, as found
numerically.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Interaction effects on magnetooscillations in a two-dimensional electron gas
Motivated by recent experiments, we study the interaction corrections to the
damping of magnetooscillations in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). We
identify leading contributions to the interaction-induced damping which are
induced by corrections to the effective mass and quantum scattering time. The
damping factor is calculated for Coulomb and short-range interaction in the
whole range of temperatures, from the ballistic to the diffusive regime. It is
shown that the dominant effect is that of the renormalization of the effective
electron mass due to the interplay of the interaction and impurity scattering.
The results are relevant to the analysis of experiments on magnetooscillations
(in particular, for extracting the value of the effective mass) and are
expected to be useful for understanding the physics of a high-mobility 2DEG
near the apparent metal-insulator transition.Comment: 24 pages; subsection adde
Data processing in high-performance computing systems
The paper integrates the results of a large group of authors working in different areas that are important
in the scope of big data, including but not limited to: overview of the basic solutions for the development of data centers; storage and processing; decomposition of a problem into sub-problems of lower complexity (such as applying divide and conquer algorithms); models and methods allowing broad parallelism to be realized; alternative techniques for potential acceleration; programming languages; and practical applications
Loschmidt Echo and Lyapunov Exponent in a Quantum Disordered System
We investigate the sensitivity of a disordered system with diffractive
scatterers to a weak external perturbation. Specifically, we calculate the
fidelity M(t) (also called the Loschmidt echo) characterizing a return
probability after a propagation for a time followed by a backward
propagation governed by a slightly perturbed Hamiltonian. For short-range
scatterers we perform a diagrammatic calculation showing that the fidelity
decays first exponentially according to the golden rule, and then follows a
power law governed by the diffusive dynamics. For long-range disorder (when the
diffractive scattering is of small-angle character) an intermediate regime
emerges where the diagrammatics is not applicable. Using the path integral
technique, we derive a kinetic equation and show that M(t) decays exponentially
with a rate governed by the classical Lyapunov exponent.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
Epizootic Activity of Natural Plague Foci in the Territory of the Russian Federation in 2011, and Prognosis for 2012
Carried out is the assessment of epizootic activity of natural plague foci in the Russian Federation and in the Republic of Kazakhstan during the period of 2000-2010. It is specified that 38 plague microbe strains have been isolated in the territory of the Russian Federation, the total area of epizooties being 882,5 km2. Plague microbe strains are isolated in the territory of East-Caucasian high-mountain and Altai mountain natural foci. Identified are the reasons of low epizootic activity of plain and low-mountain natural plague foci in the Russian Federation. Outlined is the role of climatic factors in the development of current intense depression in numbers of carriers and vectors of plague. Put forward is the prognosis on the low epizootic activity of the natural plague foci in the Russian Federation in 2012. It is substantiated that the emergence of local epizooties in 2012 is to take place in the territory of Altai mountain, Tuvin mountain and East-Caucasian high-mountain natural plague foci
Volume III. DUNE far detector technical coordination
The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and whether protons eventually decay-these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its current state, and its eventual fate. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector technical design report (TDR) describes the DUNE physics program and the technical designs of the single- A nd dual-phase DUNE liquid argon TPC far detector modules. Volume III of this TDR describes how the activities required to design, construct, fabricate, install, and commission the DUNE far detector modules are organized and managed. This volume details the organizational structures that will carry out and/or oversee the planned far detector activities safely, successfully, on time, and on budget. It presents overviews of the facilities, supporting infrastructure, and detectors for context, and it outlines the project-related functions and methodologies used by the DUNE technical coordination organization, focusing on the areas of integration engineering, technical reviews, quality assurance and control, and safety oversight. Because of its more advanced stage of development, functional examples presented in this volume focus primarily on the single-phase (SP) detector module
Prospects for beyond the Standard Model physics searches at the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment: DUNE Collaboration
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a combination of capable precision detectors, and by the massive far detector system located deep underground. This configuration sets up DUNE as a machine for discovery, as it enables opportunities not only to perform precision neutrino measurements that may uncover deviations from the present three-flavor mixing paradigm, but also to discover new particles and unveil new interactions and symmetries beyond those predicted in the Standard Model (SM). Of the many potential beyond the Standard Model (BSM) topics DUNE will probe, this paper presents a selection of studies quantifying DUNE’s sensitivities to sterile neutrino mixing, heavy neutral leptons, non-standard interactions, CPT symmetry violation, Lorentz invariance violation, neutrino trident production, dark matter from both beam induced and cosmogenic sources, baryon number violation, and other new physics topics that complement those at high-energy colliders and significantly extend the present reach
Volume I. Introduction to DUNE
The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and whether protons eventually decay-these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its current state, and its eventual fate. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector technical design report (TDR) describes the DUNE physics program and the technical designs of the single- A nd dual-phase DUNE liquid argon TPC far detector modules. This TDR is intended to justify the technical choices for the far detector that flow down from the high-level physics goals through requirements at all levels of the Project. Volume I contains an executive summary that introduces the DUNE science program, the far detector and the strategy for its modular designs, and the organization and management of the Project. The remainder of Volume I provides more detail on the science program that drives the choice of detector technologies and on the technologies themselves. It also introduces the designs for the DUNE near detector and the DUNE computing model, for which DUNE is planning design reports. Volume II of this TDR describes DUNE\u27s physics program in detail. Volume III describes the technical coordination required for the far detector design, construction, installation, and integration, and its organizational structure. Volume IV describes the single-phase far detector technology. A planned Volume V will describe the dual-phase technology
