Minimum of the modulus of an entire function on the sequence of Polya peaks

Let f be an entire function of genus zero, let (r_k) be a sequence of Pólya peaks for N(r, f) of order <1. Then there exists a sequence r _k ~r_k such that If for (r_k) one takes a sequence of Pólya peaks for ln M(r, f) or for T(r, f), 1/2<<1, then the result ceases to be true.Translated from Teoriya Funktsii, Funktsional'nyi Analiz i Ikh Prilozheniya, No. 45, pp. 26–40, 1986.     

The polya-1 property for convex approximation

If f∈L_p[0, 1], let f_p be its best L_p-approximant by convex functions. It is shown that if exists uniformly on closed subintervals of (0,1). This research was partially supported by Grant No. 020-033-58 from the Faculty Research Committee, Idaho State University.     

Sensitivity ofn-p scattering observables to charge-independence breaking of the3 P N-N phase shifts

The sensitivity of neutron-proton scattering observables to the recently reported charge-independence breaking of the isospinT=1³ P nucleon-nucleon interaction has been calculated. It is shown that only the analyzing powerA _y () at extreme forward angles and at =90° c.m. and the spin-correlation coefficientA _zx () at 90° c.m. exhibit a measurable sensitivity. It is concluded that the determination ofA _y at 90° c.m. is currently the most accurate approach to verify independently charge-independence breaking in the³ P nucleon-nucleon phase shifts, considering the status of present experimental techniques.     

Inclusive\bar K^{0*} (892) andK 0*(892) production on silicon by 200 GeVK − andπ −

The production of the neutralK ^? (892) resonances by 200 GeVK ^? andπ ^? has been studied over the kinematic range 0.0<x _f<1.0 andp _t ² <5.0 GeV². Longitudinal and transverse momentum distributions are presented. In addition the decay angular distributions inK ^? fragmentation to \(\bar K^{0*} \) have been investigated.     

Weak boson plus jet production in 2nd-order QCD

We calculate cross sections for the production ofW ⁺ andZ bosons in association with 1 and 2 jets at \(p\bar p\) collider energies. The expected rates for these processes in second-order QCD are presented as a function of the cuts on the transverse momenta of the jets and are compared with jet rates measured by UA1.     

Fe2P2O7 and Fe2P4O12 studied between 5–800 K

Mössbauer spectra of triclinic Fe₂P₂O₇ indicate the existence of two crystallographic metal positions in the structure. In the paramagnetic region the two Mössbauer doublets are closely overlapping. The magnetic transition takes place at ≈ 21 K and the saturated fields are around 12 tesla for the two positions. In monoclinic Fe₂P₄O₁₂ the two octahedrally coordinated metal positions give quite different quadrupole splittings (1.5 and 3 mm/s at room temperature) and hyperfine field values (42 and 12.5 Tesla at 5 K). The transition temperature is at ≈ 18.5 K.     

A193Ir Mössbauer study of Pt−Ir catalysts prepared by impregnantion of silica with H2MCl6

The state of iridium on Pt?Ir catalysts prepared by impregnation of amorphous silica with H₂IrCl₆ and H₂PtCl₆ was studied by¹⁹³Ir Mössbauer spectroscopy after different steps of preparation. The Ir is adsorbed in its trivalent state, presumably as [IrCl₆]^3?. Calcination in air at 450°C converts this to IrO₂. The metallic clusters formed by subsequent reduction in H₂ at 200°C show a strong tendency towards segregation of Ir and Pt and re-oxidize partially when exposed to air at ambient temperature. In both respects the behaviour is similar to that of samples prepared by co-exchange from [Ir(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ and Pt(NH₃)₄Cl₂. H₂O.     

Plunger measurements on highly stripped O-ions as tool for detecting electron polarization on emergence from thin ferromagnetic layers

From hyperfine interaction studles on free single electron¹⁶O(3⁻) ions. in a time differential mode using the recoil distance technique. It is shown that these ions are polarized when emerging from magnetized thin layers of Fe. The observed degree of polarization , however, is smaller than expected from transient field measurements.     

Development and operation of a balloon-borne telescope for fir imaging, radiometry and spectrometry of the galactic cygnus region

We have designed and built a balloon-borne far-infrared 60 cm telescope equipped with He-cooled filters and a composite silicon bolometer with an NEP of 1.3·10^–14 W/Hz^1/2 for imaging, radiometry and spectroscopy of the Cygnus region at wavelengths up to 330 m. A test flight took place at the CNES balloon station at Aire/Adour, F, on May 8, 1989. The balloon stayed 4_1/2 h at the observation height of 39 km. Tests and results are discussed.
