Forward observables at RHIC, the Tevatron run II and the LHC
We present predictions on the total cross sections and on the ratio of the
real part to the imaginary part of the elastic amplitude (rho parameter) for
present and future pp and pbar p colliders, and on total cross sections for
gamma p -> hadrons at cosmic-ray energies and for gamma gamma -> hadrons up to
sqrt(s)=1 TeV.
These predictions are based on a study of many possible analytic
parametrisations and invoke the current hadronic dataset at t=0. The
uncertainties on total cross sections, including the systematic theoretical
errors, reach 1% at RHIC, 3% at the Tevatron, and 10% at the LHC, whereas those
on the rho parameter are respectively 10%, 17%, and 26%.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX, presented at the Second International

Associative production of B_c and D mesons at LHC
It is shown that the study of correlations in the associative production of
B_c and D mesons at LHC allows to obtain the essential information about the

Investigation of the ignition of wood structural materials (with and without fire retardant treatment) under the influence of a model fire of irregular intensity
In this paper the effect of fire front on the surface of wood samples (plywood and oriented strand board) was considered to estimate the effect of different wood-fire retardants. Infrared thermography was used as a diagnostic method. The ignition probability was estimated for the chosen experimental parameters for each kind of wood The fire hazard characteristics of wood after fire retardant treatment showed a significant reduction in the surface temperature and the resistance to fire for the chosen parameters of the experiment compared to the same untreated samples. The charring depth of the wood samples was determined depending on the type of wood, as well as on the type of the fire retardant used
Premartensitic Transition in Ni2+xMn1-xGa Heusler Alloys
The temperature dependencies of the resistivity and magnetization of a series
of Ni2+XMn1-XGa (X = 0 - 0.09) alloys were investigated. Along with the
anomalies associated with ferromagnetic and martensitic transitions,
well-defined anomalies were observed at the temperature of premartensitic
transformation. The premartensitic phase existing in a temperature range 200 -
260 K in the stoichiometric Ni2MnGa is suppressed by the martensitic phase with
increasing Ni content and vanishes in Ni2.09Mn0.91Ga composition
Influence of intermartensitic transitions on transport properties of Ni2.16Mn0.84Ga alloy
Magnetic, transport, and x-ray diffraction measurements of ferromagnetic
shape memory alloy NiMnGa revealed that this alloy undergoes
an intermartensitic transition upon cooling, whereas no such a transition is
observed upon subsequent heating. The difference in the modulation of the
martensite forming upon cooling from the high-temperature austenitic state
[5-layered (5M) martensite], and the martensite forming upon the
intermartensitic transition [7-layered (7M) martensite] strongly affects the
magnetic and transport properties of the alloy and results in a large thermal
hysteresis of the resistivity and magnetization . The
intermartensitic transition has an especially marked influence on the transport
properties, as is evident from a large difference in the resistivity of the 5M
and 7M martensite, , which is larger than the jump of resistivity at
the martensitic transition from the cubic austenitic phase to the monoclinic 5M
martensitic phase. We assume that this significant difference in between
the martensitic phases is accounted for by nesting features of the Fermi
surface. It is also suggested that the nesting hypothesis can explain the
uncommon behavior of the resistivity at the martensitic transition, observed in
stoichiometric and near-stoichiometric Ni-Mn-Ga alloys.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, REVTEX
Phase diagram of superfluid 3He in "nematically ordered" aerogel
Results of experiments with liquid 3He immersed in a new type of aerogel are
described. This aerogel consists of Al2O3 strands which are nearly parallel to
each other, so we call it as a "nematically ordered" aerogel. At all used
pressures a superfluid transition was observed and a superfluid phase diagram
was measured. Possible structures of the observed superfluid phases are
discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figures. Submitted to Pis'ma v ZhETF (JETP Letters
Premartensitic transition driven by magnetoelastic interaction in bcc ferromagnetic
We show that the magnetoelastic coupling between the magnetization and the
amplitude of a short wavelength phonon enables the existence of a first order
premartensitic transition from a bcc to a micromodulated phase in .
Such a magnetoelastic coupling has been experimentally evidenced by AC
susceptibility and ultrasonic measurements under applied magnetic field. A
latent heat around 9 J/mol has been measured using a highly sensitive
calorimeter. This value is in very good agreement with the value predicted by a
proposed model.Comment: 4 pages RevTex, 3 Postscript figures, to be published in Physical
