Parton Distributions from Boosted Fields in the Coulomb Gauge

We propose a new method to calculate parton distribution functions (PDFs) from correlations of boosted quarks and gluons in the Coulomb gauge. Compared to the widely used quasi-PDFs defined from gauge-invariant Wilson-line operators, such correlations offer advantages including absence of linear power divergence, enhanced long-range precision, and accessibility to larger off-axis momenta. We verify the validity of this method at next-to-leading order in perturbation theory and use it to calculate the pion valence quark PDF on a lattice with spacing $a=0.06$ fm and valence pion mass $m_\pi=300$ MeV. Our result agrees with that from the gauge-invariant quasi-PDF at similar precision, achieved with only half the computational cost through a large off-axis momentum $|\vec{p}|\sim2.2$ GeV. This opens the door to a more efficient way to calculate parton physics on the lattice.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, and the appendi

Radio Polarization of BL Lacertae objects

In this paper, using the database of the university of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) at three (4.8 GHz, 8 GHZ, and 14.5 GHz) radio frequencies, we studied the polarization properties for 47 BL Lacertae objects(38 radio selected BL Lacertae objects, 7 X-ray selected BL Lacertae, and two inter-middle objects (Mkn 421 and Mkn 501), and found that (1) The polarizations at higher radio frequency is higher than those at lower frequency, (2) The variability of polarization at higher radio frequency is higher than those at lower frequency, (3) The polarization is correlated with the radio spectral index, and (4) The polarization is correlated with core-dominance parameter for those objects with known core-dominance parameters suggesting that the relativistic beaming could explain the polarization characteristic of BL Lacs.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 1 table.

2-[5-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-ferrocenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-4-phenyl-1,3-thia­zole

In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C24H18N3O2S)], the pyrazoline ring adopts a twist conformation. The thia­zole ring forms dihedral angles of 83.7 (2) and 34.4 (2)° with the benzene ring of the benzodioxole ring and the fused phenyl ring, respectively. The mol­ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra­molecular C—H⋯π inter­action. The crystal packing features inter­molecular C—H⋯N, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯π inter­actions

Research on the compression algorithm of the infrared thermal image sequence based on differential evolution and double exponential decay model.

This paper has proposed a new thermal wave image sequence compression algorithm by combining double exponential decay fitting model and differential evolution algorithm. This study benchmarked fitting compression results and precision of the proposed method was benchmarked to that of the traditional methods via experiment; it investigated the fitting compression performance under the long time series and improved model and validated the algorithm by practical thermal image sequence compression and reconstruction. The results show that the proposed algorithm is a fast and highly precise infrared image data processing method

Two-component polariton condensate in optical microcavity

We present a scheme for engineering the extended two-component Bose-Hubbard model using polariton condensate supported by optical microcavity. Compared to the usual two-component Bose-Hubbard model with only Kerr nonlinearity, our model includes a nonlinear tunneling term which depends on the number difference of the particle in the two modes. In the mean field treatment, this model is an analog to a nonrigid pendulum with a variable pendulum length whose sign can be also changed. We study the dynamic and ground state properties of this model and show that there exists a first-order phase transition as the strength of the nonlinear tunneling rate is varied. Furthermore, we propose a scheme to obtain the polariton condensate wave function.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figure
