    Revealing the giant resonance in Xe via HHG with sub-two cycle 1.8 \u3bcm laser pulses

    No full text
    Recent advances in optical parametric amplification (OPA) based few-cycle pulse generation at 1.8 \u3bcm wavelength led to the discovery of multi-electron correlation effects in high harmonic generation (HHG), in particular the giant resonance in Xe. The novel scheme for sub-two cycle pulse generation rests upon nonlinear propagation of OPA pulses in a hollow-core fiber and subsequent compression solely by linear propagation through Fused Silica which exhibits anomalous dispersion [1]. The spectral phase introduced by self-phase modulation and self-steepening cancels material dispersion up to third order to provide an ideal laser source for HHG in gases with low ionization potential. \ua9 2011 IEEE.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye

    The future of religious education in Europe

    Get PDF
    This E-book is the result of a workshop on “The future of religious education in Europe”, hosted by the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute in Florence on 28 October 2014.This small volume covers the entire conceptual range of approaches to religious education in public schools. The papers gathered in this publication cover the conceptual debate on the subject, ranging from a confessional approach to a sociological approach with an inclusive model as the middle-position. The different models diverge on how they define, in the context of public schooling for children aged 6 to 14 years, what religious education is aimed at: is that what should be conveyed knowledge about religion or instead religious knowledge? Should pupils become cognitively equipped to recognize and discuss religious diversity, or should they first become literate in one, presumably “their own” religious tradition?-- I Kristina Stoeckl – Knowledge about religion and religious knowledge in secular societies: introductory remarks to The future of religious education in Europe -- II Robert Jackson – Inclusive Study of Religions and other Worldviews in Publicly-funded Schools in Democratic Societies -- III Valeria Fabretti – Rethinking Religious Education sociologically: A contribution to the European debate and comparison -- IV Joachim Willems – Religious Education and the Student’s Fundamental Right to Freedom of Religion – Some Lessons and Questions from Germany -- V Matthias Scharer, Innsbruck – “Learning Religion” in the Presence of the Other: Provocation and Gift in Public Educatio

    Search for Charged Higgs bosons: Combined Results Using LEP Data

    Get PDF
    The four LEP collaborations, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, have searched for pair-produced charged Higgs bosons in the framework of Two Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs). The data of the four experiments are statistically combined. The results are interpreted within the 2HDM for Type I and Type II benchmark scenarios. No statistically significant excess has been observed when compared to the Standard Model background prediction, and the combined LEP data exclude large regions of the model parameter space. Charged Higgs bosons with mass below 80 GeV/c^2 (Type II scenario) or 72.5 GeV/c^2 (Type I scenario, for pseudo-scalar masses above 12 GeV/c^2) are excluded at the 95% confidence level
