On Semicontinuous Nonclassical Ordinary Differential Inclusions with Nonlocal Condition
In this study, we examined existence of lower semicontinuous
solution of Nonclassical Ordinary Differential Inclusions (QSDIs) with
Nonlocal Conditions. Here the multivalued stochastic processes are lower
semicontinuous

Hydrodynamics of Spatially Ordered Superfluids
We derive the hydrodynamic equations for the supersolid and superhexatic
phases of a neutral two-dimensional Bose fluid. We find, assuming that the
normal part of the fluid is clamped to an underlying substrate, that both
phases can sustain third-sound modes and that in the supersolid phase there are
additional modes due to the superfluid motion of point defects (vacancies and
interstitials).Comment: 24 pages of ReVTeX and 7 uuencoded figures. Submitted for publication

Chaos and the Quantum Phase Transition in the Dicke Model
We investigate the quantum chaotic properties of the Dicke Hamiltonian; a
quantum-optical model which describes a single-mode bosonic field interacting
with an ensemble of two-level atoms. This model exhibits a zero-temperature
quantum phase transition in the N \go \infty limit, which we describe exactly
in an effective Hamiltonian approach. We then numerically investigate the
system at finite and, by analysing the level statistics, we demonstrate
that the system undergoes a transition from quasi-integrability to quantum
chaotic, and that this transition is caused by the precursors of the quantum
phase-transition. Our considerations of the wavefunction indicate that this is
connected with a delocalisation of the system and the emergence of macroscopic
coherence. We also derive a semi-classical Dicke model, which exhibits
analogues of all the important features of the quantum model, such as the phase
transition and the concurrent onset of chaos.Comment: 51 pages, 15 figures, late
b-Jet Identification in the D0 Experiment
Algorithms distinguishing jets originating from b quarks from other jet
flavors are important tools in the physics program of the D0 experiment at the
Fermilab Tevatron p-pbar collider. This article describes the methods that have
been used to identify b-quark jets, exploiting in particular the long lifetimes
of b-flavored hadrons, and the calibration of the performance of these
algorithms based on collider data.Comment: submitted to Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research
