Impurity-impurity interactions in a very dilute Fe:Au system

An analysis of recent Mössbauer data of a very dilute Fe:$\text{Au}$ system strongly indicates some kind of antiferromagnetic order at low temperatures and low external fields. This shows, that even at very low impurity concentrations for this system impurity-impurity interactions are dominant. So one must be very careful in extracting from the various experimental data parameters, which characterise the Kondo behavior of the single impurities in the system Fe:$\text{Au}$.     

Thermopower of concentrated AuCr alloys

Measurements are presented of the thermopower of three concentrated $\text{Au}$Cr (0.9, 4.9 and 10.6 at.%Cr) alloys between 4 and 500°K. Considerable differences are observed in the thermopower compared with $\text{Au}$Fe alloys in a similar concentration range. Possible reasons for these differences are discussed in terms of current ideas on spin glasses and the pair model of Matho and Béal-Monod.     

Analysis of topological cross sections in pp interactions at 22.4 GeVc

The multiplicity distribution for 11558 events in $\text{p}\text{p}$ interactions at 22.4 $\text{GeV}\text{c}$ was analyzed. The average charged multiplicity 〈n_ch〉 for inelastic events was found to be 4.69 ±0.05 and $\text{〈n}{}_{\mathrm{ch}}\text{〉}\text{D=2.04 ± 0.05}$. The early KNO scaling of normalized topological cross sections has been tested.     

Study of the local susceptibility in the Fe: Au system

Mössbauer effect measurements of the Fe: $\text{Au}$ system are reported which yield the local susceptibility of the Fe ions. At high temperatures (T ? 10°K) a Curie Weiss law with θ₁ = 9.8°K is observed, whereas at low temperatures the Curie Weiss temperature is θ₂ = 0.45°K. In both temperature regimes the local susceptibility is a linear function of the total susceptibility. In addition below 4°K the local magnetization is a linear function of the total magnetization up to external fields of 60 kG.     

Nuclear orientation of 60Co in dilute AuCo

We report experiments on $\text{Au}$Co alloys by β and γ nuclear orientation measurements. We discuss the link between susceptibility and hyperfine measurements and the possibility of separating the orbital and spin contribution.     

Superconducting properties of ZnCr and ZnMn alloys

Measurements on the superconducting critical temperature T_c and critical field, H_c, of $\text{Zn}$Cr and $\text{Zn}$Mn alloys, down to 0.037°K are presented.The variation of T_c with increasing concentration depends strongly on T_cp/θ, with θ a characteristic temperature, while effects of H_c are similar to previously studied alloys.     

Experimental susceptibility of CuFe, AgFe and MoFe and the results of the Wilson theory

The low temperature susceptibility of the local moment system $\text{Mo}$Fe has been measured by the Mössbauer effect. The susceptibility for this system and for the system $\text{Cu}$Fe, $\text{Ag}$Fe and $\text{Au}$Fe show general agreement with the prediction of the Wilson theory.     

Isospin bounds for energy partition in ee and NN annihilation

In reactions such as $\text{e}$e → anything, $\text{N}$N → anything, the final state (neglecting secondary isospin violating decays) is customarily supposed to have isospin zero or one. We show that for such states the average fraction (X) of the energy carried away by neutral pions is bounded by $\text{X<}\text{(9+√41)}\text{20}\text{≈0.77}$, when I₃ = 0 (e.g., for ee, pp, nn) and by $\text{X>}\text{(11?√41)}\text{40}\text{≈0.115}$, when I₃=±1 (e.g., for pn or np).     

Mössbauer effect measurements on a AuFe spin glass

Zero field Mössbauer measurements have been carried out between 1.9 and 30 K and at room temperature on a $\text{Au}$-3 at% Fe sample. There is a quite well defined change of regime at about 19.5 K, well above the cusp temperature of this sample which was measured to be 16.4 K. In the temperature region below 19.5 K the spectra can best be described in terms of a static, inhomogeneously broadened field distribution, and at higher temperatures the spectra are compatible with relaxation broadening. Estimated relaxation rates in this regime are similar to those obtained by other techniques.     

Resistivity of dilute AlMg and AlMn between 0° and 100°C a generalized approach

We have measured the resistivity of $\text{Al}$Mg and $\text{Al}$Mn up to 0.5 at. % impurity concentration between 0° and 100°C. The results for the resistivity for both systems can be analysed within one generalized model in which spinfluctuations as well as changes in the electron-phonon interaction are considered. For $\text{Al}$Mn a calculation of the impurity contribution to d?/dT is attempted. For $\text{Al}$Mg there are indications that the superconducting T_c will increase with Mg concentration.     

The impurity resistivity and resistivity minima in AlCr and AlMn alloys

The impurity resistivity of $\text{Al}$Cr between 1.5 and 50°K was determined with a characteristic temperature for the T² variation θ₁=960±40°K. The behaviour of the resistivity minimum both in $\text{Al}$Cr and $\text{Al}$Mn alloys with impurity concentration provides evidence that a T³ phonon resistivity is found also in aluminium with anomalous impurity resistivity.     

Pseudoscalar mesons in the c-c and b-b systems

It is shown that the pseudoscalar η_c and “η_c” (η_b and “η_b”) with M ≈ 2.80 and 3.51 GeV (9.17 and 9.88 GeV) can be predicted by using the radial mixing model, where the “η_c” and “η_b” are the excited 0^- states in the $\text{c-}\text{c}$ and $\text{b-}\text{b}$ systems, respectively, and the former would correspond to the observed 0^- meson with M ≈ 3.45 GeV in charmonium.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance of extremely dilute CrFe

We report nuclear orientation and pulsed NMR on radioactive ⁵¹Cr$\text{Fe}$ samples. The zero-field resonance frequency of 13.543(18) MHz from polycrystalline foil samples yields a hyperfine field B_hf = ?6.655(35) T in the dilute, low-temperature limit for Cr$\text{Fe}$.     

Charged particle multiplicities in 100 GeV/cpp interactions

Results are presented on the topological cross sections obtained for antiproton-proton interactions from an exposure of the Fermilab 30-inch bubble chamber to a 100 GeV/c negative beam enriched in $\text{p}$'s. The $\text{p}$p inelastic cross section is found to be σ_inel = 34.6 ± 0.4 mb, and the average inelastic charged particle multiplicity to be 〈n〉 = 6.74 ± 0.05.     

D-state effects in (d, t) and (d, 3He) reactions

The influence of the deuteron and triton [³He] D-state on the form factor required in the DWBA analyses of the ($\text{d}$, t) [($\text{d}$, ³He)] reactions has been studied. The wave functions of Phillips are used for three-nucleon systems because they are designed to yield the correct asymptotic form for the (d, t) and (d, ³He) overlaps. The zero-range parameters D₀ and D₂ which enter into the calculation of the cross section and the tensor analysing power in the DWBA with the local energy approximation are calculated and found to yield values consistent with experimental data.     

Non-perturbative QCD effects explain the ΔI = 12 rule in the chiral limit

It is shown that in the chiral limit, the enhancement of the $\text{ΔI=}\text{1}\text{2}$ transitions for mesons is explained by the large size of non-perturbative QCD matrix elements. For $\text{〈}\text{s}\text{s〉 = 〈}\text{u}\text{u〉}$ we obtain ∣M(K_S⁰ → 2π⁰) ∣ =(5.2±0.6) × 10^?7m_K in excellent agreement with experiment.     

Optical model analysis of p-atoms

We examine how different types of form factors for $\text{p}$-nucleus optical potential affect the analysis of X-ray data in $\text{p}$-atoms. We also study the effect of L·S force due to strong interaction in $\text{p}$-atoms.     

Nonrelativistic distorted wave born approximation predictions for 500 MeV (p, p') spin-rotation observables

We discuss couplings of scalar gluonium σ on the basis of the low energy theorems of broken chiral symmetry and the anomalous trace of the energy—momentum tensor, implemented using a phenomenological lagrangian. Taking the ITEP value of the gluon consensate as input, we find $\text{Γ(σ → ππ) ? 0.6}\text{GeV}\text{× (}\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{\sigma }}\text{1}\text{GeV}\text{)}{}^5$ and $\text{Γ(σ → γγ) ? 90}\text{eV}\text{× (}\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{\sigma }}\text{1}\text{GeV}\text{)}{}^5$, while m_σ is undetermined. These results suggest that if the scalar gluonium mass is above 1 GeV, it is probably unobservably wide, while production in γγ collisions is probably too small to be detectable if m_σ < 1.5 GeV. We comment on the observability of J/ψ → σ + γ and on the relevance of our results to other gluonia.     

Transverse momentum of hadrons produced in ν and ν interactions on an isoscalar target in BEBC

The average transverse momentum squared, 〈p_⊥²〉, of hadrons is studied as a function of W² and of Q² for ν and $\text{ν}$ interactions on an isoscalar target. An increase of 〈p_⊥²〉 with W² is observed for the hadrons emitted forward in the hadronic c.m.s. The p_⊥ dependence of the fragmentation function is found to factorise from the structure function at fixed W, but does not factorise at fixed Q². Unlike the case of forward-going particles, the 〈p_⊥²〉 of hadrons going backward in the c.m.s. shows no strong dependence on W².     

Possible heavy lepton signals at pp colliders

If a new sequential heavy lepton L exists with mass below that of the W boson, it will give rise to the following decay chains: W → Lν_Lwith $\text{L}\text{→}\text{e}\text{ν}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{ν}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>L</mtext>}}$ or $\text{L}\text{→}\text{Q}\text{qν}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>L</mtext>}}$. We critically study, and quantify, the possibility of identifying this heavy lepton signal against the various backgrounds in high energy p?p collision. We find that the leptonic decay signal is plagued by serious b?b, W → eν, and W → τν backgrounds, whereas the hadronic decay mode leads to a distinctive signature, after selected cuts are applied. We discuss how the mass of such a lepton may be determined.
