Single inclusive hadron production in pA collisions at NLO
We study single inclusive forward hadron production in high energy
proton-nucleus collisions at next-to-leading order in the Color Glass
Condensate framework. Recent studies have shown that the next-to-leading order
corrections to this process are large and negative at large transverse
momentum, leading to negative cross sections. We propose to overcome this
difficulty by introducing an explicit rapidity factorization scale when
subtracting the rapidity divergence into the evolution of the target.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures. Proceedings of DIS 2016, 11-15 April 2016, DESY

Single inclusive forward hadron production at next-to-leading order
We discuss single inclusive hadron production from a high energy quark
scattering off a strong target color field in the Color Glass Condensate
formalism. Recent calculations of this process at the next-to-leading order
accuracy have led to negative cross sections at large transverse momenta. We
identify the origin of this problem as an oversubtraction of the rapidity
divergence into the Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution equation for the target. We
propose a new way to implement the kinematical restriction on the emitted
gluons to overcome this difficulty.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures. v2: matches published versio
Generation of tunable Terahertz out-of-plane radiation using Josephson vortices in modulated layered superconductors
We show that a moving Josephson vortex in spatially modulated layered
superconductors generates out-of-plane THz radiation. Remarkably, the magnetic
and in-plane electric fields radiated are of the same order, which is very
unusual for any good-conducting medium. Therefore, the out-of-plane radiation
can be emitted to the vacuum without the standard impedance mismatch problem.
Thus, the proposed design can be more efficient for tunable THz emitters than
previous proposals, for radiation only propagating along the ab-plane.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure. Phys. Rev. B (2005), in pres
: An Excellent Candidate of Tetraquarks
We analyze various possible interpretations of the narrow state
which lies 100 MeV above threshold. This interesting state
decays mainly into instead of . If this relative branching
ratio is further confirmed by other experimental groups, we point out that the
identification of either as a state or more generally
as a state in the representation is probably
problematic. Instead, such an anomalous decay pattern strongly indicates
is a four quark state in the representation
with the quark content . We discuss its
partners in the same multiplet, and the similar four-quark states composed of a
bottom quark . Experimental searches of other members
especially those exotic ones are strongly called for
Laser Mode Bifurcations Induced by -Breaking Exceptional Points
A laser consisting of two independently-pumped resonators can exhibit mode
bifurcations that evolve out of the exceptional points (EPs) of the linear
system at threshold. The EPs are non-Hermitian degeneracies occurring at the
parity/time-reversal () symmetry breaking points of the threshold
system. Above threshold, the EPs become bifurcations of the nonlinear
zero-detuned laser modes, which can be most easily observed by making the gain
saturation intensities in the two resonators substantially different. Small
pump variations can then switch abruptly between different laser behaviors,
e.g. between below-threshold and -broken single-mode operation.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Construction of a surface air temperature series for Qingdao in China for the period 1899 to 2014
Abstract. We present a homogenized surface air temperature (SAT) time series at 2 m height for the city of Qingdao in China from 1899 to 2014. This series is derived from three data sources: newly digitized and homogenized observations of the German National Meteorological Service from 1899 to 1913, homogenized observation data of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) from 1961 to 2014 and a gridded dataset of Willmott and Matsuura (2012) in Delaware to fill the gap from 1914 to 1960. Based on this new series, long-term trends are described. The SAT in Qingdao has a significant warming trend of 0.11 ± 0.03 °C decade−1 during 1899–2014. The coldest period occurred during 1909–1918 and the warmest period occurred during 1999–2008. For the seasonal mean SAT, the most significant warming can be found in spring, followed by winter. The homogenized time series of Qingdao is provided and archived by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) web page under overseas stations of the Deutsche Seewarte (http://www.dwd.de/EN/ourservices/overseas_stations/ueberseedoku/doi_qingdao.html) in ASCII format.

Differential quadrature method for space-fractional diffusion equations on 2D irregular domains
In mathematical physics, the space-fractional diffusion equations are of
particular interest in the studies of physical phenomena modelled by L\'{e}vy
processes, which are sometimes called super-diffusion equations. In this
article, we develop the differential quadrature (DQ) methods for solving the 2D
space-fractional diffusion equations on irregular domains. The methods in
presence reduce the original equation into a set of ordinary differential
equations (ODEs) by introducing valid DQ formulations to fractional directional
derivatives based on the functional values at scattered nodal points on problem
domain. The required weighted coefficients are calculated by using radial basis
functions (RBFs) as trial functions, and the resultant ODEs are discretized by
the Crank-Nicolson scheme. The main advantages of our methods lie in their
flexibility and applicability to arbitrary domains. A series of illustrated
examples are finally provided to support these points.Comment: 25 pages, 25 figures, 7 table
Neutron scattering study of commensurate magnetic ordering in single crystal CeSb
Temperature and field-dependent magnetization measurements and
neutron scattering study of a single crystal CeSb are presented. Several
anomalies in the magnetization curves have been confirmed at low magnetic
field, i.e., 15.6 K, 12 K, and 9.8 K. These three transitions are all
metamagnetic transitions (MMT), which shift to lower temperatures as the
magnetic field increases. The anomaly at 15.6 K has been suggested as
paramagnetic (PM) to ferromagnetic (FM) phase transition. The anomaly located
at around 12 K is antiferromagnetic-like transition, and this turning point
will clearly split into two when the magnetic field T. Neutron
scattering study reveals that the low temperature ground state of CeSb
orders antiferromagnetically with commensurate propagation wave vectors
and , with N\'eel
temperature K. This transition is of first-order, as shown in the
hysteresis loop observed by the field cooled cooling (FCC) and field cooled
warming (FCW) processes.Comment: 7 pages,9 figure
