Performance Analysis of a Dual-Hop Cooperative Relay Network with Co-Channel Interference
This paper analyzes the performance of a dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative relay network in the presence of direct link between the source and destination and multiple co-channel interferences (CCIs) at the relay. Specifically, we derive the new analytical expressions for the moment generating function (MGF) of the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and the average symbol error rate (ASER) of the relay network. Computer simulations are given to confirm the validity of the analytical results and show the effects of direct link and interference on the considered AF relay network
Modelling Electron Spin Accumulation in a Metallic Nanoparticle
A model describing spin-polarized current via discrete energy levels of a
metallic nanoparticle, which has strongly asymmetric tunnel contacts to two
ferromagnetic leads, is presented.
In absence of spin-relaxation, the model leads to a spin-accumulation in the
nanoparticle, a difference () between the chemical potentials of
spin-up and spin-down electrons, proportional to the current and the Julliere's
tunnel magnetoresistance. Taking into account an energy dependent
spin-relaxation rate , as a function of bias
voltage () exhibits a crossover from linear to a much weaker dependence,
when equals the spin-polarized current through the
nanoparticle. Assuming that the spin-relaxation takes place via electron-phonon
emission and Elliot-Yafet mechanism, the model leads to a crossover from linear
to dependence. The crossover explains recent measurements of the
saturation of the spin-polarized current with in Aluminum nanoparticles,
and leads to the spin-relaxation rate of in an Aluminum
nanoparticle of diameter , for a transition with an energy difference of
one level spacing.Comment: 37 pages, 7 figure
Charmed Baryon Weak Decays with SU(3) Flavor Symmetry
We study the semileptonic and non-leptonic charmed baryon decays with
flavor symmetry, where the charmed baryons can be , , , or . With denoted as the baryon
octet (decuplet), we find that the
decays are forbidden, while the ,
, and decays are the only existing Cabibbo-allowed modes
for , , and , respectively. We predict the rarely studied
decays, such as and . For the observation, the doubly and triply charmed baryon decays of

which are accessible to the BESIII and LHCb experiments.Comment: 29 pages, no figure, a typo in the table correcte
Transverse momentum broadening of vector boson production in high energy nuclear collisions
We calculate in perturbative QCD the transverse momentum broadening of vector
boson production in high energy nuclear collisions. We evaluate the effect of
initial-state parton multiple scattering for the production of the Drell-Yan
virtual photon and bosons. We calculate both the initial- and final-state
multiple scattering effect for the production of heavy quarkonia and their
transverse momentum broadening in both NRQCD and Color Evaporation model of
quarkonium formation. We find that J/ and broadening in
hadron-nucleus collision is close to times the corresponding
Drell-Yan broadening, which gives a good description of existing Fermilab data.
Our calculations are also consistent with RHIC data on J/ broadening in
relativistic heavy ion collisions. We predict the transverse momentum
broadening of vector boson (J/, , and ) production in
relativistic heavy ion collisions at the LHC, and discuss the role of the
vector boson broadening in diagnosing medium properties.Comment: 22 pages, 10 figures, revised version to appear in Phys. Rev.
