Kinematical Constraints on QCD Factorization in the Drell-Yan Process

We study factorization schemes for parton shower models in hadron-hadron collisions. As an example, we calculate lepton pair production mediated by a virtual photon in quark--anti-quark annihilation, and we compare factorized cross sections obtained in the conventional $\bar{\rm MS}$ scheme with those obtained in a factorization scheme in which a kinematical constraint due to parton radiation is taken into account. We discuss some properties of factorized cross sections.Comment: 10 pages, PTPTeX.sty, 1 Postscript figur

Nano-particle motion in monolithic silica column using single-particle tracking method

Porous materials are used in a variety of industrial applications owing to their large surface areas, large pore volumes, hierarchical porosities, and low densities. The motion of particles inside the pores of porous materials has attracted considerable attention. We investigated nano-particle motion in a porous material using the single-particle tracking method. Particle motion such as absorption and desorption at the wall was observed. The displacement probability distribution deviated from the Gaussian distribution at the tail, indicating non-Gaussian motion of the particles. Moreover, an analysis of the relative angle between three consecutive particle positions revealed that the probability of the particle moving backward was approximately twice that of the particle moving forward. These results indicate that particle motion inside porous materials is highly complex and that a single-particle study is essensital for fabricating a structure that is suitable for applications

The c-axis charge traveling wave in coupled system of Josephson junctions

We demonstrate a manifestation of the charge traveling wave along the c-axis (TW) in current voltage characteristics of coupled Josephson junctions in high-$T_c$ superconductors. The branches related to the TW with different wavelengths are found for the stacks with different number of Josephson junctions at different values of system's parameters. Transitions between the TW branches and the outermost branch are observed. Time dependence of the electric charge in the superconducting layers and charge-charge correlation functions for TW and outermost branches show different behavior with bias current. We propose an experimental testing of the TW by microwave irradiation.Comment: Supplement : http://theor.jinr.ru/~hamdipur/lambda0.av

Anomalous Flux Flow Resistivity in Two Gap Superconductor MgB_2

The flux flow resistivity associated with purely viscous motion of vortices in high-quality MgB_2 was measured by microwave surface impedance. Flux flow resistivity exhibits unusual field dependence with strong enhancement at low field, which is markedly different to conventional s-wave superconductors. A crossover field which separates two distinct flux flow regimes having different flux flow resistivity slopes was clearly observed in H//ab-plane. The unusual H-dependence indicates that two very differently sized superconducting gaps in MgB_2 manifest in the vortex dynamics and almost equally contribute to energy dissipation. The carrier scattering rate in two different bands is also discussed with the present results, compared to heat capacity and thermal conductivity results.Comment: 4 pages, 3figure

The SCUBA-2 Web Survey: I. Observations of CO(3-2) in hyper-luminous QSO fields

A primary goal of the SCUBA-2 Web survey is to perform tomography of the early inter-galactic medium by studying systems containing some of the brightest quasi-stellar objects (QSOs; 2.5<z<3.0) and nearby submillimetre galaxies. As a first step, this paper aims to characterize the galaxies that host the QSOs. To achieve this, a sample of 13 hyper-luminous (L_AGN>10^14 L_odot) QSOs with previous submillimetre continuum detections were followed up with CO(3-2) observations using the NOEMA interferometer. All but two of the QSOs are detected in CO(3-2); for one non-detection, our observations show a tentative 2sigma line at the expected position and redshift, and for the other non-detection we find only continuum flux density an order of magnitude brighter than the other sources. In three of the fields, a companion potentially suitable for tomography is detected in CO line emission within 25 arcsec of the QSO. We derive gas masses, dynamical masses and far-infrared luminosities, and show that the QSOs in our sample have similar properties as compared to less luminous QSOs and SMGs in the literature, despite the fact that their black-hole masses (which are proportional to L_AGN) are 1-2 orders of magnitude larger. We discuss two interpretations of these observations: this is due to selection effects, such as preferential face-on viewing angles and picking out objects in the tail ends of the scatter in host-galaxy mass and black-hole mass relationships; or the black hole masses have been overestimated because the accretion rates are super-Eddington.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures.

Prospect of the Zee model

The Zee model is one of promising models of neutrino mass generation mechanism. However, the original Zee model is not on the framework of the ground unification scenario, and moreover, it is recently pointed out that the predicted value of $\sin^2 2\theta_{solar}$ must be satisfied the relation $\sin^2 2\theta_{solar} > 0.99$. We discuss whether possible GUT versions of the Zee model can be free from the severe constraint $\sin^2 2\theta_{solar} >0.99$ or not. We will conclude that the following two models are promising: an R-parity violating SUSY GUT model and an SO(10) model with a 126-plet scalar.Comment: 3 pages, no figure, Latex, presented at KEKTC5(Nov. 2001), to be publised in the proceeding

Study on Employee Welfare System in China: Interview with Companies in the Northeast region of China.

This paper examines contemporary aspects of employee welfare system in China Companies，by mainly using interview as research method (March, 2009; one small size company and big size one in the Northeast region of China). It also examines the content of the welfare system in terms of social security, company policies, and problems involved in the operation, while comparing them to Japanese companies. Major findings from this research include the followings. (1) In China, companies increasingly regard employee welfare system as important policies (cf: improving the stability of the work force,or employee motivation etc), in human resource management like Japanese. (2) After the 1978 the reform and door-opening movements Chinese, companies have faced some ploblems(cf:high cost) with their welfare System.While welfare system at Chinese companies have been on the increase,there has not so much a paradigm shift as one found in Japan,from employees relying on benefits provided by the companies to promotion of employee's self independent and autonomy

Electron doping evolution of the neutron spin resonance in NaFe1−x_{1-x}Cox_{x}As

Neutron spin resonance, a collective magnetic excitation coupled to superconductivity, is one of the most prominent features shared by a broad family of unconventional superconductors including copper oxides, iron pnictides, and heavy fermions. In this work, we study the doping evolution of the resonances in NaFe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$As covering the entire superconducting dome. For the underdoped compositions, two resonance modes coexist. As doping increases, the low-energy resonance gradually loses its spectral weight to the high-energy one but remains at the same energy. By contrast, in the overdoped regime we only find one single resonance, which acquires a broader width in both energy and momentum, but retains approximately the same peak position even when $T_c$ drops by nearly a half compared to optimal doping. These results suggest that the energy of the resonance in electron overdoped NaFe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$As is neither simply proportional to $T_c$ nor the superconducting gap, but is controlled by the multi-orbital character of the system and doped impurity scattering effect.Comment: accepted by PR

Applicative Bidirectional Programming with Lenses

A bidirectional transformation is a pair of mappings between source and view data objects, one in each direction. When the view is modified, the source is updated accordingly with respect to some laws. One way to reduce the development and maintenance effort of bidirectional transformations is to have specialized languages in which the resulting programs are bidirectional by construction---giving rise to the paradigm of bidirectional programming. In this paper, we develop a framework for applicative-style and higher-order bidirectional programming, in which we can write bidirectional transformations as unidirectional programs in standard functional languages, opening up access to the bundle of language features previously only available to conventional unidirectional languages. Our framework essentially bridges two very different approaches of bidirectional programming, namely the lens framework and Voigtlander’s semantic bidirectionalization, creating a new programming style that is able to bag benefits from both
