Azimuthal anisotropy in heavy-ion collisions is studied by taking into account the ridges generated by semi-hard scattering of intermediate-momentum partons, which can be sensitive to the initial spatial configuration of the medium in non-central collisions. In a simple treatment of the problem where the recombination of only thermal partons is considered, analytical formulas can be derived that yield results in accord with the data on v2 for pT<1–2 GeV/c. Centrality dependence is described by a geometrical factor. Ridge phenomenology is used to determine the initial slopes of v2 at low pT for both pion and proton. For higher pT, shower partons from high-pT jets must be included, but they are not considered here. 相似文献

We show that pQCD factorization incorporated with pre-hadronization energy-loss effect naturally leads to flatness of the nuclear modification factor RAA for produced hadrons at high transverse momentum pT. We consider two possible scenarios for the pre-hadronization: In scenario 1, the produced gluon propagates through dense QCD medium and loses energy. In scenario 2, all gluons first decay to quark–antiquark pairs and then each pair loses energy as propagating through the medium. We show that the estimates of the energy-loss in these two different models lead to very close values and is able to explain the suppression of high-pT hadrons in nucleus–nucleus collisions at RHIC. We show that the onset of the flatness of RAA for the produced hadron in central collisions at midrapidity is about pT≈15 and 25 GeV at RHIC and the LHC energies, respectively. We show that the smallness (RAA<0.5 ) and the high-pT flatness of RAA obtained from the kT factorization supplemented with the Balitsky–Kovchegov (BK) equation is rather generic and it does not strongly depend on the details of the BK solutions. We show that energy-loss effect reduces the nuclear modification factor obtained from the kT factorization about 30–50% at moderate pT. 相似文献

In addition to the narrow spin-one resonances ρT, ωT and aT occurring in low-scale technicolor, there will be relatively narrow scalars in the mass range 200 to 600–700 GeV. We study the lightest isoscalar state, σT. In several important respects it is like a heavy Higgs boson with a small vev. It may be discoverable with high luminosity at the LHC where it is produced via weak boson fusion and likely has substantial W+W− and Z0Z0 decay modes. 相似文献

We present empirical features of parton energy loss in nucleus–nucleus collisions at RHIC through studies of the spectra and nuclear modification factors (RAA) for charged hadrons, neutral pions (π0) and non-photonic electrons. The flat distribution of RAA at high transverse momentum (pT) for a given collision centrality is consistent with a scenario where parton energy loss ΔpT is proportional to pT. The centrality dependence of the parton energy loss indicates the absence of path length dependence in the magnitude of energy loss. The lack of strong path length dependence suggests a dynamical picture where the dense partonic medium undergoes rapid expansion and the density of the medium falls rapidly in the first a few Fermi interval, which may be much shorter than the full path length. Implications of the empirical constraints on the parton energy loss will also be discussed. 相似文献

We propose a sensitive measurement of the charm total cross-section at RHIC through muon identification from charm semileptonic decay at low transverse momentum (pT). This can test the binary-collision scaling (Nbin) properties of the charm total cross-section and be used to study whether heavy-flavor quarks, which are used as a probe, are produced exclusively at the initial impact in hadron–hadron collisions. The effect of the charm semileptonic decay form factor on extracting the total charm cross section and on the shape of the lepton spectra are also discussed in detail. We conclude that lepton spectra from charmed hadron decays at transverse momentum pT?1.0 GeV/c are sensitive to the charmed hadron spectrum shape. Therefore, the interactions of heavy quarks with the medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, especially the flow effects, can be extracted from the lepton spectra from charmed hadron decays at low pT. 相似文献

We derive target mass corrections (TMC) for the spin-dependent nucleon structure function g1 and polarization asymmetry A1 in collinear factorization at leading twist. The TMCs are found to be significant for g1 at large xB, even at relatively high Q2 values, but largely cancel in A1. A comparison of TMCs obtained from collinear factorization and from the operator product expansion shows that at low Q2 the corrections drive the proton A1 in opposite directions. 相似文献

We discuss three Hamiltonians, each with a central-field part H0 and a PT-symmetric perturbation igz. When H0 is the isotropic Harmonic oscillator the spectrum is real for all g because H is isospectral to H0+g2/2. When H0 is the Hydrogen atom then infinitely many eigenvalues are complex for all g. If the potential in H0 is linear in the radial variable r then the spectrum of H exhibits real eigenvalues for 0<g<gc and a PT phase transition at gc. 相似文献

Geometrical characterizations are given for the tensor R⋅S, where S is the Ricci tensor of a (semi-)Riemannian manifold (M,g) and R denotes the curvature operator acting on S as a derivation, and of the Ricci Tachibana tensor ∧g⋅S, where the natural metrical operator ∧g also acts as a derivation on S. As a combination, the Ricci curvatures associated with directions on M, of which the isotropy determines that M is Einstein, are extended to the Ricci curvatures of Deszcz associated with directions and planes on M, and of which the isotropy determines that M is Ricci pseudo-symmetric in the sense of Deszcz. 相似文献

We introduce a network evolution process motivated by the network of citations in the scientific literature. In each iteration of the process a node is born and directed links are created from the new node to a set of target nodes already in the network. This set includes m “ambassador” nodes and l of each ambassador’s descendants where m and l are random variables selected from any choice of distributions pl and qm. The process mimics the tendency of authors to cite varying numbers of papers included in the bibliographies of the other papers they cite. We show that the degree distributions of the networks generated after a large number of iterations are scale-free and derive an expression for the power-law exponent. In a particular case of the model where the number of ambassadors is always the constant m and the number of selected descendants from each ambassador is the constant l, the power-law exponent is (2l+1)/l. For this example we derive expressions for the degree distribution and clustering coefficient in terms of l and m. We conclude that the proposed model can be tuned to have the same power law exponent and clustering coefficient of a broad range of the scale-free distributions that have been studied empirically. 相似文献

Direct photon production is an important process at hadron colliders, being relevant both for precision measurement of the gluon density, and as background to Higgs and other new physics searches. Here we explore the implications of recently derived results for high-energy resummation of direct photon production for the interpretation of measurements at the Tevatron and the LHC. The effects of resummation are compared to various sources of theoretical uncertainties like PDFs and scale variations. We show how the high-energy resummation procedure stabilizes the logarithmic enhancement of the cross section at high energy which is present at any fixed order in the perturbative expansion starting at NNLO. The effects of high-energy resummation are found to be negligible at Tevatron, while they enhance the cross section by a few percent for pT?10 GeV at the LHC. Our results imply that the discrepancy at small pT between fixed order NLO and Tevatron data cannot be explained by unresummed high-energy contributions. 相似文献

We demonstrate the emergence of non-Abelian fusion rules for excitations of a two dimensional lattice model built out of Abelian degrees of freedom. It can be considered as an extension of the usual toric code model on a two dimensional lattice augmented with matter fields. It consists of the usual C(Zp) gauge degrees of freedom living on the links together with matter degrees of freedom living on the vertices. The matter part is described by a n dimensional vector space which we call Hn. The Zp gauge particles act on the vertex particles and thus Hn can be thought of as a C(Zp) module. An exactly solvable model is built with operators acting in this Hilbert space. The vertex excitations for this model are studied and shown to obey non-Abelian fusion rules. We will show this for specific values of n and p, though we believe this feature holds for all n>p. We will see that non-Abelian anyons of the quantum double of C(S3) are obtained as part of the vertex excitations of the model with n=6 and p=3. Ising anyons are obtained in the model with n=4 and p=2. The n=3 and p=2 case is also worked out as this is the simplest model exhibiting non-Abelian fusion rules. Another common feature shared by these models is that the ground states have a higher symmetry than Zp. This makes them possible candidates for realizing quantum computation. 相似文献

We discuss space-time symmetric Hamiltonian operators of the form H=H0+igH′, where H0 is Hermitian and g real. H0 is invariant under the unitary operations of a point group G while H′ is invariant under transformation by elements of a subgroup G′ of G. If G exhibits irreducible representations of dimension greater than unity, then it is possible that H has complex eigenvalues for sufficiently small nonzero values of g. In the particular case that H is parity-time symmetric then it appears to exhibit real eigenvalues for all 0<g<gc, where gc is the exceptional point closest to the origin. Point-group symmetry and perturbation theory enable one to predict whether H may exhibit real or complex eigenvalues for g>0. We illustrate the main theoretical results and conclusions of this paper by means of two- and three-dimensional Hamiltonians exhibiting a variety of different point-group symmetries. 相似文献

We have studied the anisotropic two-dimensional nearest-neighbor Ising model with competitive interactions in both uniform longitudinal field H and transverse magnetic field Ω. Using the effective-field theory (EFT) with correlation in cluster with N=1 spin we calculate the thermodynamic properties as a function of temperature with values H and Ω fixed. The model consists of ferromagnetic interaction Jx in the x direction and antiferromagnetic interaction Jy in the y direction, and it is found that for H/Jy∈[0,2] the system exhibits a second-order phase transition. The thermodynamic properties are obtained for the particular case of λ=Jx/Jy=1 (isotropic square lattice). 相似文献

A complex symplectic structure on a Lie algebra h is an integrable complex structure J with a closed non-degenerate (2,0)-form. It is determined by J and the real part Ω of the (2,0)-form. Suppose that h is a semi-direct product g?V, and both g and V are Lagrangian with respect to Ω and totally real with respect to J. This note shows that g?V is its own weak mirror image in the sense that the associated differential Gerstenhaber algebras controlling the extended deformations of Ω and J are isomorphic. 相似文献

Suppose that the sphere Sn has initially a homogeneous distribution of mass and let G be the Lie group of orientation preserving projective diffeomorphisms of Sn. A projective motion of the sphere, that is, a smooth curve in G, is called force free if it is a critical point of the kinetic energy functional. We find explicit examples of force free projective motions of Sn and, more generally, examples of subgroups H of G such that a force free motion initially tangent to H remains in H for all time (in contrast with the previously studied case for conformal motions, this property does not hold for H=SOn+1). The main tool is a Riemannian metric on G, which turns out to be not complete (in particular not invariant, as happens with non-rigid motions), given by the kinetic energy. 相似文献

The distance d(i,j) between any two vertices i and j in a graph is the number of edges in a shortest path between i and j. If there is no path connecting i and j, then d(i,j)=∞. In 2001, Latora and Marchiori introduced the measure of efficiency between vertices in a graph (Latora and Marchiori, 2001) [1]. The efficiency between two vertices i and j is defined to be ∈i,j=j. In this paper, we investigate the efficiency of star-like networks, and show that networks of this type have a high level of efficiency. We apply these ideas to an analysis of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) Subway system, and show this network is 82% as efficient as a network where there is a direct line between every pair of stations. 相似文献

Community detection is a very important problem in social network analysis. Classical clustering approach, K-means, has been shown to be very efficient to detect communities in networks. However, K-means is quite sensitive to the initial centroids or seeds, especially when it is used to detect communities. To solve this problem, in this study, we propose an efficient algorithm K-rank, which selects the top-K nodes with the highest rank centrality as the initial seeds, and updates these seeds by using an iterative technique like K-means. Then we extend K-rank to partition directed, weighted networks, and to detect overlapping communities. The empirical study on synthetic and real networks show that K-rank is robust and better than the state-of-the-art algorithms including K-means, BGLL, LPA, infomap and OSLOM. 相似文献
