Restoration of kT factorization for low pT hadron hadroproduction

We discuss the applicability of the k _T factorization theorem to low-p _T hadron production in hadron–hadron collision in a simple toy model, which involves only scalar particles and gluons. It has been shown that the k _T factorization for high-p _T hadron hadroproduction is broken by soft gluons in the Glauber region, which are exchanged among a transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) parton density and other subprocesses of the collision. We explain that the contour of a loop momentum can be deformed away from the Glauber region at low p _T , so the above residual infrared divergence is factorized by means of the standard eikonal approximation. The k _T factorization is then restored in the sense that a TMD parton density maintains its universality. Because the resultant Glauber factor is independent of hadron flavors, experimental constraints on its behavior are possible. The k _T factorization can also be restored for the transverse single-spin asymmetry in hadron–hadron collision at low p _T in a similar way, with the residual infrared divergence being factorized into the same Glauber factor.

Temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of R6(Fe1-xMnx)23 compounds in the temperature range 4.2 to 300 K

The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of binary R₆Mn₂₃, R₆Fe₂₃ (R = Y, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) and pseudobinary R₆(Fe_1-xMn_x)₂₃ (R = Y, Er, Ho) compounds has been determined by a four-probe measuring technique in the temperature range 4 to 400 K.The binary compounds exhibit a prop. T² dependence at low temperatures, while above 100 K a negative curvature of the -T-curves is observed.These experimental results are discussed on the basis of electron-spin wave scattering in the low temperature range and on the basis of s-d scattering in the high temperature range, taking explicitly into account the temperature dependence of the chemical potential.The pseudobinary compounds generally exhibit a decreasing resitivity with increasing temperature, combined with a high residual resistivity. These facts are explained by the so-called strong scattering mechanism and the appearance of “quasilocalized” states.     

Site preference and thermodynamic properties of R3Ni13-xCoxB2（R=Y,Nd and Sm）

This paper investigates the structural stability of intermetallics R3Ni13-xCoxB2(R=Y,Nd and Sm) with Nd 3 Ni 13 B 2-type structure and the site preferences of the transition element Co by using a series of interatomic pair potentials.The space group remains unchanged upon substitution of Co for Ni in R3Ni13-xCoxB2 and the calculated lattice constants are found to agree with reports in literatures.The calculated cohesive energy curves show that Co atoms substitute for Ni with a strong preference for the 3g sites and the order of site preference is 3g,4h and 6i.Moreover,the total and partial phonon densities of states are first evaluated for the R 3 Ni 13 B 2 compounds with the hexagonal Nd 3 Ni 13 B 2-type structure.     

Nuclear modification at ?{sNN }\sqrt {s_{NN} } = 17.3 GeV, measured at NA49

Transverse momentum spectra up to 4.5GeV/c were measured around midrapidity in Pb+Pb reactions at ?{s_NN }\sqrt {s_{NN} } = 17.3GeV, for π ^±, p, [`(p)]\bar p and K ^±, by the NA49 experiment. The nuclear modification factors R _AA , R _AA/pA and R _CP were extracted and are compared to RHIC results at ?{S_NN }\sqrt {S_{NN} } = 200GeV. The modification factor R _AA shows a rapid increase with transverse momentum in the covered region. The modification factor R _CP shows saturation well below unity in the π ^± channel. The extracted R _CP values follow the 200GeV RHIC results closely in the available transverse momentum range for all particle species. For π ^± above 2.5GeV/c transverse momentum, the measured suppression is smaller than that observed at RHIC. The nuclear modification factor R _AA/pA for π ^± stays well below unity.     

Resonance production in RHIC collisions

Short lived resonances are sensitive to the properties of the medium produced in heavy ion collision, in particular the temperature, density and expansion velocity. Thermal models underpredict the yield of K(892) and Λ(1520) in Au+Au collisions which allows us to conclude that an extended hadronic interaction phase exists between chemical and thermal freeze-out. During this time the decay particles of resonances will re-scatter and coalesce to regenerate resonances. These mechanisms affect the resonance yield mostly in the low momentum region below 1 GeV/c. Therefore the nuclear suppression factor R_AA of resonances with more re-scattering than regeneration will be suppressed compared to stable particles in that p_T range. It is interesting to study the R_AA of resonances at higher momenta where the spectra of non-resonant particles exhibit effects such as enhancement through constituent quark recombination and quenching in the dense partonic medium. In addition the R_AA’s of strange particles show the effect of canonical suppression on the nuclear suppression factor which leads to a significant difference between R_AA and R_CP, in particular for strange baryons. Therefore the R_AA and the elliptic flow v₂ for strange resonances in comparison to strange particles are investigated.

On the perturbative stability of the QCD predictions for the ratio R=FL/FT in heavy-quark leptoproduction

We analyze the perturbative and parametric stability of the QCD predictions for the Callan–Gross ratio, R(x,Q ²)=F _L /F _T , in heavy-quark leptoproduction. We consider the radiative corrections to the dominant photon–gluon fusion mechanism. In various kinematic regions, the following contributions are investigated: exact NLO results at low and moderate Q ²≲m ², asymptotic NLO predictions at high Q ²≫m ², and both NLO and NNLO soft-gluon (or threshold) corrections at large Bjorken variable x. Our analysis shows that large radiative corrections to the structure functions F _T (x,Q ²) and F _L (x,Q ²) cancel each other in their ratio R(x,Q ²) with good accuracy. As a result, the NLO contributions to the Callan–Gross ratio are less than 10% in a wide region of the variables x and Q ². We provide compact LO predictions for R(x,Q ²) in the case of low x ≪1. A simple formula connecting the high-energy behavior of the Callan–Gross ratio and low-x asymptotics of the gluon density is derived. It is shown that the obtained hadron-level predictions for R(x→0,Q ²) are stable under the DGLAP evolution of the gluon distribution function. Our analytic results simplify the extraction of the structure functions F ₂ ^c (x,Q ²) and F ₂ ^b (x,Q ²) from measurements of the corresponding reduced cross sections, in particular at DESY HERA.     

Electronic structure and magnetism of R(Fe,Si)12 (R = Y, Nd)

The newly developed full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) and local orbitals (lo) based on standard APW methods are briefly introduced, and the structure and magnetic properties of R(Fe, Si)₁₂ compounds (R = Y, Nd) are calculated using the method. The distribution of Si at different sites is analyzed based on total energy of one crystal unit with structure having been optimized. The characters of magnetic moments, total density of states (TDOS) and partial density of states (PDOS) for different crystal sites Si occupies are obtained and analyzed. The results show that the total magnetic moments of RFe₁₀Si₂ (R = Y, Nd) are larger than those of RFe₁₀ M ₂ (M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Mo and W) and the hybridization mechanism is seen as follows. Si(8j) reduce the magnetic moments of Fe at three sites, however, Si(8f) mainly reduce the magnetic moments of Fe(8i) and Fe(8j) atoms. The Curie temperature is markedly enhanced by the introduction of Si atoms according to spin fluctuation of DOS at Fermi level.     

Transition Moments betweenΔg,Πg, andΠuStates of the H2Molecule

Electronic transition moments are computed for dipole transitions between theCandD¹Π_u,IandR¹Π_gandJandS¹Δ_gstates of the hydrogen molecule for internuclear distancesR∈ [1, 15] bohr. The character of the wavefunctions at large internuclear distances is investigated. It is shown that in theDandRstates the asymptotic configurations are strongly mixed forR≤ 15 bohrs. TheSstate has mixed character even atR= 40 bohr.     

Variation of jet quenching from RHIC to LHC and thermal suppression of the QCD coupling constant

We perform a joint jet tomographic analysis of the data on the nuclear modification factor R _AA from PHENIX at RHIC and ALICE at LHC. The computations are performed accounting for radiative and collisional parton energy loss with running coupling constant. Our results show that the observed slow variation of R _AA from RHIC to LHC indicates that the QCD coupling constant is suppressed in the quark-gluon plasma produced at LHC.

Azimuthal asymmetry and ratio R = FL/FT as probes of the charm content of the proton

We study two experimental ways to measure the heavy-quark content of the proton: using the Callan-Gross ratio R(x,Q ²) = F _L /F _T = and/or azimuthal cos(2φ) -asymmetry in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering. Our approach is based on the perturbative stability of the QCD predictions for these two quantities. We resume the mass logarithms of the type α _s ln(Q ²/m ²) and conclude that heavy-quark densities in the nucleon can, in principle, be determined from data on the Callan-Gross ratio and/or azimuthal asymmetry. In particular, the charm content of the proton can be measured in future studies at the proposed Large Hadron-Electron (LHeC) and Electron-Ion (EIC) Colliders.     

STAR measurement of system size and incident energy dependence of pt correlations at RHIC

We present the results on measurement of event-by-event p _t fluctuations and correlations for Cu+Cu collisions at ?{s_NN }\sqrt {s_{NN} } = 62.4 and 200 GeV from STAR experiment at RHIC. These results are compared with those from Au+Au collisions at ?{s_NN }\sqrt {s_{NN} } = 62.4 and 200 GeV to study the system size dependence. We find that the dynamical p _t fluctuations are finite and decrease with increasing collision centrality. The p _t correlations are studied as a function of collision centrality and are observed to decrease as we go from peripheral to central collisions. The square root of p _t correlations scaled by mean p _t are observed to be independent of beam energy as well as colliding ion size.     

On the Evaluation of the Evolution Operator Z Reg( R 2, R 1) in the Diakonov–Petrov Approach to the Wilson Loop

We evaluate the evolution operator Z _Reg(R ₂,R ₁) introduced by Diakonov and Petrov for the definition of the Wilson loop in terms of a path integral over gauge degrees of freedom. We use the procedure suggested by Diakonov and Petrov (Physics Letters B 224 (1989) 131) and show that the evolution operator vanishes.

NOx generation in laser-produced plasma in air as a function of dissipated energy

An experimental study on the production of NO_x as a function of dissipated energy in laser-produced plasma in air is presented. A plasma was produced by focusing a (60–180) mJ, 5 ns, 532 nm pulse from a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The results show that for laser energy in the range of 13–99 mJ the laser plasma generates 6.7×10¹⁶ NO_x molecules per joule and 4.6×10¹⁶ NO molecules per joule. An order of magnitude estimate of the NO and NO_x production per unit volume of heated gas based on a simple model show that the NO_x and NO production efficiency in air are about 3×10²² and 2×10²² molecules J⁻¹ m⁻³.     

Energy and system size dependence of charged hadron transverse momentum spectra from Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at √S NN =62.4 and 200 GeV

The PHOBOS Collaboration has measured transverse momentum distributions of charged hadrons produced in Cu+Cu collisions at √s _NN =200 and 62.4 GeV. The nuclear modification factor R _AA ^N _part is calculated relative to p+p data at both collision energies as a function of collision centrality. For the same number of participating nucleons, R _AA ^N _part is essentially the same in both systems over the full range of p Tthat is measured. In addition, we observe that within experimental uncertainties, the ratio of 200 GeV to 62.4 GeV Cu+Cu yields has only a moderate centrality dependence and is consistent with the value previously measured in Au+Au collisions for a broad range of p _T.     

Effect of interstitial atoms on the effective exchange fields in ferrimagnetic rare-earth and 3d transition metal compounds R2Fe17 and RFe11Ti

The magnetic properties (magnetic ordering temperature, magnetization) of the ferrimagnetic compounds R ₂Fe₁₇ and RFe₁₁Ti, as well as of their hydrides and nitrides, were studied. The hydrogenation-and nitrogenation-induced variation of the exchange fields acting on the rare-earth (RE) ions from both the Fe sublattice and other RE ions was determined, and the dependence of the Curie temperatures of the starting compounds, their hydrides, and nitrides on the de Gennes factor was revealed. It was found that incorporation of light atoms (H, N) into the crystal lattices of RFe₁₁Ti and R ₂Fe₁₇ increases the Curie temperature T _C substantially, increases the Fe-Fe exchange coupling, and decreases the R-R exchange interactions, as well as increases the R-Fe intersublattice exchange under hydrogenation and decreases it under nitrogenation, an effect that can be understood as resulting from the attendant changes in the electronic structure of these compounds and in the indirect exchange interactions. __________ Translated from Fizika Tverdogo Tela, Vol. 45, No. 10, 2003, pp. 1850–1856.
