Non-catalytic bromination of benzene: a combined computational and experimental study

The non-catalytic bromination of benzene is shown experimentally to require high 5-14M concentrations of bromine in order to proceed at ambient temperatures to form predominantly bromobenzene, along with detectable (The non-catalytic bromination of benzene is shown experimentally to require high 5-14M concentrations of bromine in order to proceed at ambient temperatures to form predominantly bromobenzene, along with detectable (The non-catalytic bromination of benzene is shown experimentally to require high 5-14M concentrations of bromine in order to proceed at ambient temperatures to form predominantly bromobenzene, along with detectable

Angular distributions in J/ψ→ppˉπ0(η)J/\psi\to p\bar{p}\pi^{0}(\eta) decays

The differential decay rates of the processes $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}\pi^{0}$ and $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}\eta$ close to the $p\bar{p}$ threshold are calculated with the help of the $N\bar{N}$ optical potential. The same calculations are made for the decays of $\psi(2S)$. We use the potential which has been suggested to fit the cross sections of $N\bar{N}$ scattering together with $N\bar{N}$ and six pion production in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation close to the $p\bar{p}$ threshold. The $p\bar{p}$ invariant mass spectra is in agreement with the available experimental data. The anisotropy of the angular distributions, which appears due to the tensor forces in the $N\bar{N}$ interaction, is predicted close to the $p\bar{p}$ threshold. This anisotropy is large enough to be investigated experimentally. Such measurements would allow one to check the accuracy of the model of $N\bar{N}$ interaction.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure

Natural explanation of recent results on e+e−→ΛΛˉe^{+}e^{-}\to\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}

We show that the recent experimental data on the cross section of the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ near the threshold can be perfectly explained by the final-state interaction of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$. The enhancement of the cross section is related to the existence of low-energy real or virtual state in the corresponding potential. We present a simple analytical formula that fits the experimental data very well.Comment: 2 pages, 1 figur

Near-threshold resonance in e+e−→ΛcΛˉce^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\Lambda_{c}\bar{\Lambda}_{c} process

We discuss the influence of various contributions of the $\Lambda_{c}\bar{\Lambda}_{c}$ potential on the energy dependence of the cross section $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\Lambda_{c}\bar{\Lambda}_{c}$ near the threshold. New BESIII experimental data on the cross section and electromagnetic form factors $G_{E}$ and $G_{M}$ are taken into account. Our predictions are in good agreement with experimental data. We predict a bound state of $\Lambda_{c}\bar{\Lambda}_{c}$ at energy $\sim 38~\textrm{MeV}$ below the threshold that may manifest itself in anomalous behavior of light meson production cross sections in a given energy region.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur

Harmonic oscillators in the Nos\'e - Hoover thermostat

We study the dynamics of an ensemble of non-interacting harmonic oscillators in a nonlinear dissipative environment described by the Nos\'e - Hoover model. Using numerical simulation we find the histogram for total energy, which agrees with the analysis of the Nos\'e - Hoover equations effected with the method of averaging. The histogram does not correspond to Gibbs' canonical distribution. We have found oscillations at frequency proportional to $\sqrt{\alpha/m}$, $\alpha$ the dissipative parameter of thermostat and $m$ the characteristic mass of particle, about the stationary state corresponding to equilibrium. The oscillations could have an important bearing upon the analysis of simulating molecular dynamics in the Nos\'e - Hoover thermostat.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

2d Gauge Theories and Generalized Geometry

We show that in the context of two-dimensional sigma models minimal coupling of an ordinary rigid symmetry Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ leads naturally to the appearance of the "generalized tangent bundle" $\mathbb{T}M \equiv TM \oplus T^*M$ by means of composite fields. Gauge transformations of the composite fields follow the Courant bracket, closing upon the choice of a Dirac structure $D \subset \mathbb{T}M$ (or, more generally, the choide of a "small Dirac-Rinehart sheaf" $\cal{D}$), in which the fields as well as the symmetry parameters are to take values. In these new variables, the gauge theory takes the form of a (non-topological) Dirac sigma model, which is applicable in a more general context and proves to be universal in two space-time dimensions: A gauging of $\mathfrak{g}$ of a standard sigma model with Wess-Zumino term exists, \emph{iff} there is a prolongation of the rigid symmetry to a Lie algebroid morphism from the action Lie algebroid $M \times \mathfrak{g}\to M$ into $D\to M$ (or the algebraic analogue of the morphism in the case of $\cal{D}$). The gauged sigma model results from a pullback by this morphism from the Dirac sigma model, which proves to be universal in two-spacetime dimensions in this sense.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures; To appear in Journal of High Energy Physic
