Few Graphene layer/Carbon-Nanotube composite Grown at CMOS-compatible Temperature

We investigate the growth of the recently demonstrated composite material composed of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes capped by few graphene layers. We show that the carbon nanotubes grow epitaxially under the few graphene layers. By using a catalyst and gaseous carbon precursor different from those used originally we establish that such unconventional growth mode is not specific to a precise choice of catalyst-precursor couple. Furthermore, the composite can be grown using catalyst and temperatures compatible with CMOS processing (T < 450\degree C).Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Split Supersymmetry at the Logarithmic Test of Future Colliders

We consider a large number of pair production processes at future colliders (LHC, ILC) for values of the c.m. energy in the TeV range, where a logarithmic expansion of Sudakov kind would provide a reliable description of Split supersymmetric electroweak effects. We calculate all the leading and next to leading terms of the expansions, that would differ drastically in the considered domain from those of an extreme "light" scenario. We imagine then two possible competitive future situations, at LHC and at ILC, where the determination of the energy dependence of the cross sections of certain processes could reveal a "signal" of the correct supersymmetric scheme.Comment: 32 pages, 10 figure

Single production of new gauge bosons from the littlest Higgs model at the TeVTeV energy e−γe^{-}\gamma colliders

In the context of the littlest Higgs(LH) model, we study single production of the new gauge bosons $B_{H}$, $Z_{H}$ and $W_{H}^{\pm}$ via $e^{-}\gamma$ collisions and discuss the possibility of detecting these new particles in the $TeV$ energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider($LC$). We find that these new particles can not be detected via the $e^{-}\nu\nu$ signal in all of the parameter space preferred by the electroweak precision data. However, the heavy gauge bosons $B_{H}$ and $Z_{H}$ may be observed via the decay channel $B_{H}(Z_{H})\to l^{+}l^{-}$ in wide range of the parameter space.Comment: references added, typos corrected.

Engagement de groupe, transformation des représentations sociales et modifications comportementales

Dans cette recherche, on s\u27intéresse à la modification d\u27une représentation sociale et à l\u27émission d\u27un comportement. Dans une première condition, les groupes sont composés de personnes « familières », dans la seconde condition, elles ne se connaissent pas. De plus, chaque groupe est divisé en deux sous-groupes, selon qu\u27il y a ou non signature d\u27un document. Il est, ensuite, demandé, aux étudiants, de participer à la mise en place d\u27une campagne de promotion et de valorisation des études. Les résultats montrent des modifications importantes, au niveau des éléments de la représentation sociale, ainsi qu\u27une acceptation plus importante du comportement demandé par l\u27expérimentateur, pour les sujets engagés et familiers.

Sudakov expansions at one loop and beyond for charged scalar and fermion pair production in SUSY models at future Linear Colliders

We consider the high energy behaviour of the amplitudes for pair production of charged leptons, quarks, Higgs bosons, sleptons, squarks and charginos at lepton colliders. We give the general expressions of the leading quadratic and subleading linear logarithms that appear at the one loop level, and derive the corresponding resummed expansions to \underline{subleading} logarithmic order accuracy. Under the assumption of a relatively light SUSY scenario and choosing the MSSM as a specific model, we compare the predictions of the one-loop and of the resummed expansions at variable energy. We show that the two predictions are very close in the one TeV regime, but drastically differ in the few ($2,3$) TeV range.Comment: 43 pages, 13 Encapsulated PostScript figure

The ρ±−ρ0\rho^{\pm}-\rho^0 Mass Splitting Problem

It is discussed the problem of the $\rho^\pm-\rho^0$ mass splitting. It is suggested to use the $\phi\to\rho\pi\to 3\pi$ decay to measure the $\rho^{\pm}-\rho^0$ mass splitting.Comment: 7 pages, revtex, a few typos fixed, to be published in Pis'ma v ZHETF, V. 69, No 1, pp. 8-11, 10 January 199

Final-state interaction phase difference in J/ψ→ρηJ/\psi\to\rho\eta and ωη\omega\eta decays

It is shown that the study of the $\omega-\rho^0$ interference pattern in the $J/\psi\to (\rho^0+\omega)\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\eta$ decay provides the evidence for the large (nearly $90^\circ$) relative phase between the one-photon and the three-gluon decay amplitudes.Comment: 5 pages, revtex, \tightenlines, a version published in Phys.

Monte Carlo Study of the Separation of Energy Scales in Quantum Spin 1/2 Chains with Bond Disorder

One-dimensional Heisenberg spin 1/2 chains with random ferro- and antiferromagnetic bonds are realized in systems such as $Sr_3 CuPt_{1-x} Ir_x O_6$. We have investigated numerically the thermodynamic properties of a generic random bond model and of a realistic model of $Sr_3 CuPt_{1-x} Ir_x O_6$ by the quantum Monte Carlo loop algorithm. For the first time we demonstrate the separation into three different temperature regimes for the original Hamiltonian based on an exact treatment, especially we show that the intermediate temperature regime is well-defined and observable in both the specific heat and the magnetic susceptibility. The crossover between the regimes is indicated by peaks in the specific heat. The uniform magnetic susceptibility shows Curie-like behavior in the high-, intermediate- and low-temperature regime, with different values of the Curie constant in each regime. We show that these regimes are overlapping in the realistic model and give numerical data for the analysis of experimental tests.Comment: 7 pages, 5 eps-figures included, typeset using JPSJ.sty, accepted for publication in J.
