Zeeman-Induced Gapless Superconductivity with Partial Fermi Surface
We show that an in-plane magnetic field can drive two-dimensional
spin-orbit-coupled systems under superconducting proximity effect into a
gapless phase where parts of the normal state Fermi surface are gapped, and the
ungapped parts are reconstructed into a small Fermi surface of Bogoliubov
quasiparticles at zero energy. Charge distribution, spin texture, and density
of states of such "partial Fermi surface" are discussed. Material platforms for
its physical realization are proposed.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
Single-Transverse Spin Asymmetry in Dijet Correlations at Hadron Colliders
We present a phenomenological study of the single-transverse spin asymmetry
in azimuthal correlations of two jets produced nearly "back-to-back" in pp
collisions at RHIC. We properly take into account the initial- and final-state
interactions of partons that can generate this asymmetry in QCD
hard-scattering. Using distribution functions fitted to the existing
single-spin data, we make predictions for various weighted single-spin
asymmetries in dijet correlations that are now readily testable at RHIC.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figure
