A note on spin chain/string duality
Recently a significant progress in matching the anomalous dimensions of
certain class of operators in N=4 SYM theory and rotating strings was made. The
correspondence was established mainly using Bethe ansatz technique applied to
the spin s Heisenberg model. In a recent paper Kruczenski (hep-th/0311203)
suggested to solve the Heisenberg model by using of sigme model approach. In
this paper we generalize the solutions obtained by Kruczenski and comment on
the dual string theory. It turns out that our solutions are related to the so
called Neumann-Rosochatius integrable system. We comment on the spin chain
solutions and on the string/gauge theory correspondence.Comment: v.2 One reference added, typos corrected, 21 page
Compact Measurement Station for Low Energy Proton Beams
A compact, remote controlled, cost efficient diagnostic station has been
developed to measure the charge, the profile and the emittance for low energy
proton beams. It has been installed and tested in the proton beam line of the
Project Prometheus at SANAEM of the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority.Comment: 7 pages 2 column
Dynamics of superconducting nanowires shunted with an external resistor
We present the first study of superconducting nanowires shunted with an
external resistor, geared towards understanding and controlling coherence and
dissipation in nanowires. The dynamics is probed by measuring the evolution of
the V-I characteristics and the distributions of switching and retrapping
currents upon varying the shunt resistor and temperature. Theoretical analysis
of the experiments indicates that as the value of the shunt resistance is
decreased, the dynamics turns more coherent presumably due to stabilization of
phase-slip centers in the wire and furthermore the switching current approaches
the Bardeen's prediction for equilibrium depairing current. By a detailed
comparison between theory and experimental, we make headway into identifying
regimes in which the quasi-one-dimensional wire can effectively be described by
a zero-dimensional circuit model analogous to the RCSJ (resistively and
capacitively shunted Josephson junction) model of Stewart and McCumber. Besides
its fundamental significance, our study has implications for a range of
promising technological applications.Comment: 15 pages, 14 figure
Pulsating Strings in Lunin-Maldacena Backgrounds
We consider pulsating strings in Lunin-Maldacena backgrounds, specifically in
deformed Minkowski spacetime and deformed AdS_5xS^5. We find the relation
between the energy and the oscillation number of the pulsating string when the
deformation is small. Since the oscillation number is an adiabatic invariant it
can be used to explore the regime of highly excited string states. We then
quantize the string and look for such a sector. For the deformed Minkowski
background we find a precise match with the classical results if the
oscillation number is quantized as an even number. For the deformed AdS_5xS^5
we find a contribution which depends on the deformation parameter.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figures, typos fixe
Three Spin Spiky Strings in beta-deformed Background
We study rigidly rotating strings in -deformed
background with one spin along AdS and two angular momenta along . We
find the spiky string solutions and present the dispersion relation among
various charges in this background. We further generalize the result to the
case of four angular momenta along .Comment: 12 pages, minor corrections, added references, to appear in JHE
Microfluidic and Nanofluidic Cavities for Quantum Fluids Experiments
The union of quantum fluids research with nanoscience is rich with
opportunities for new physics. The relevant length scales in quantum fluids,
3He in particular, are comparable to those possible using microfluidic and
nanofluidic devices. In this article, we will briefly review how the physics of
quantum fluids depends strongly on confinement on the microscale and nanoscale.
Then we present devices fabricated specifically for quantum fluids research,
with cavity sizes ranging from 30 nm to 11 microns deep, and the
characterization of these devices for low temperature quantum fluids
experiments.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, Accepted to Journal of Low Temperature Physic
On the pulsating strings in AdS_5 x T^{1,1}
We study the class of pulsating strings in AdS_5 x T^{1,1}. Using a
generalized ansatz for pulsating string configurations we find new solutions of
this class. Further we semiclassically quantize the theory and obtain the first
correction to the energy. The latter, due to AdS/CFT correspondence, is
supposed to give the anomalous dimensions of operators in the dual N=1
superconformal gauge field theory.Comment: 12 pages, improvements made, references adde
