New strong interactions: From QCD to LHC

The concept of strong interactions need not be limited to the sector of physics taken by QCD. While this domain is investigated by RHIC, LHC will be able to probe potential new strong interactions simultaneously: Finding the precise mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking is one of the prime problems of physics. Intricately linked to this point is the question after the true nature or even the existence of the Higgs boson. Here, we present stronly interacting theories providing an explanation for the hierarchy problem and leading to a light composite Higgs boson, favoured by experimental data. Our variation of the standard model is consistent with precision data. We achieve this accordance by using technifermions in a higher representation of their gauge group. Anomaly conditions require at least one extra lepton family for some of the theories whereby they contain a natural dark matter candidate. We can accurately determine the masses of said leptons from experimental data.     

C-Fe chains due to segregated carbon impurities on Fe(1 0 0)

Bulk carbon impurities segregate at the Fe(1 0 0) surface and, upon thermal annealing, can form metastable surface phases with local and long range order and peculiar electronic properties. We present a surface science study of C-segregated Fe(1 0 0) with scanning tunneling microscopy, angle resolved photoemission, and ab initio calculations of the surface structure and electron states. In particular the c(3√2 × √2) structure, observed for 0.67 atomic layers of C segregated at the iron surface, is found to be due to self-organized carbon stripes made of zig-zag chains. The strong hybridization between C and Fe was observed in ARPES spectra.

I fondamenti della geometria numerativa

Sunto. Costruzione dei fondamenti della geometria numerativa (computo della costanti, conservazione del numero, calcolo simbolico, principio generalizzato diPlücker-Clebsch) dal punto di vista delle teorie (dovute all' Autore), che hanno fatto progredire e rinnovato tanta parte della moderna geometria algebrica (teoria della base, varietà virtuali, sistemi d'equivalenza, teoria generale delle corrispondenze). Teorema d'esistenza delle caratteristiche delle condizioni pure di data dimensione imposte agli elementi d'una varietà algebrica, anche in presenza di elementi degeneri. Applicazioni (teoria delle caratteristiche inerenti a spazi lineari, risoluzione generale del problema delle caratteristiche per le coniche d'un piano, base e modello minimo della varietà degli elementi lineari del piano) (1). Il mio primo lavoro è stato pubblicato negli ? Atti della R. Accademia delle Scienze di Torino ? (vol. XXXV, pag. 774) il 27 maggio 1900. Veramente io avevo già fatto stampare fin dal 1898 mentre ero studente presso una tipografia della mia nativa Arezzo, una noticina sull'estensione dei teoremi diPascal e diBrianchon. Non sapevo allora che l'estensione era nota.     

Approche non paramétrique du filtrage de système non linéaire à temps discret et à paramètres inconnus

Particle filters are presently among the most powerful tools for filtering discrete time non linear systems. However the presence of unknown parameters in the system equations makes their use more complex and can even impair their convergence properties. This Note shows how an on-line consistent estimation of these parameters can be obtained simultaneously to that of the state variables to be filtered. This approach relies upon a kernel-based non parametric estimation of conditional probability densities from successive Monte Carlo generations of system particles. To cite this article: V. Rossi, J.-P. Vila, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 340 (2005).     

Novel intramolecular cyclization of N-alkynyl heterocycles containing proximate nucleophiles

Intramolecular cyclization of 2-acyl-1-propargyl-1H-indoles in the presence of ammonia provides an easy entry to pyrazino[1,2-a]indole nucleus.     

5-Spirocyclopropane Isoxazolidines as Versatile Intermediates in Organic Synthesis

The review outlines the various different azaheterocycles available from 5-spirocyclopropane isoxazolidines. These compounds can be regarded as versatile direct precursors of tetrahydro-, dihydropyridone and azetidinone derivatives. The current scope and limitations, and the selectivity aspects of the different processes are discussed therein.     

Crossing of shears bands in196Pb

High-spin states in¹⁹⁶Pb have been populated using the reaction¹⁷⁰Er(³⁰Si,4n). The previously observed shears bands in this nucleus have been extended and some of their transitions have been reordered. They now form regular bands with band crossings. One of the bands splits into two pathways at high spin.     

A new microwave dielectric method for studying photoinitiated chain radical polymerization processes

Measurements of both real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant at a fixed microwave frequency have been performed on n-butyl acrylate/poly(n-butyl acrylate) mixtures. The dielectric constant of the mixtures has been compared with that of neat n-butyl acrylate during UV photoinitiated polymerization. The values of the imaginary part of the dielectric constant thus obtained have allowed determination of the instantaneous monomer concentration and verified the kinetic equation for the photoinitiated polymerization process. The limits of validity of the method as well as its capability of providing detailed kinetic information are also discussed.
