A Variational Level Set Approach for Surface Area Minimization of Triply Periodic Surfaces
In this paper, we study triply periodic surfaces with minimal surface area
under a constraint in the volume fraction of the regions (phases) that the
surface separates. Using a variational level set method formulation, we present
a theoretical characterization of and a numerical algorithm for computing these
surfaces. We use our theoretical and computational formulation to study the
optimality of the Schwartz P, Schwartz D, and Schoen G surfaces when the volume
fractions of the two phases are equal and explore the properties of optimal
structures when the volume fractions of the two phases not equal. Due to the
computational cost of the fully, three-dimensional shape optimization problem,
we implement our numerical simulations using a parallel level set method
software package.Comment: 28 pages, 16 figures, 3 table
Measurement of the CP-Violating Asymmetry Amplitude sin2
We present results on time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays to several CP eigenstates. The measurements use a data sample of about 88 million Y(4S) --> B Bbar decays collected between 1999 and 2002 with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We study events in which one neutral B meson is fully reconstructed in a final state containing a charmonium meson and the other B meson is determined to be either a B0 or B0bar from its decay products. The amplitude of the CP-violating asymmetry, which in the Standard Model is proportional to sin2beta, is derived from the decay-time distributions in such events. We measure sin2beta = 0.741 +/- 0.067 (stat) +/- 0.033 (syst) and |lambda| = 0.948 +/- 0.051 (stat) +/- 0.017 (syst). The magnitude of lambda is consistent with unity, in agreement with the Standard Model expectation of no direct CP violation in these modes
