Two-jet production inp\bar p collisions

The production of two quark/gluon jets in \(p\bar p\) collisions is analyzed. We determine the cross section dependence on the transverse momentum, the rapidities, and on the two-jet invariant mass, and we evaluate the sensitivity of the results on the theoretical input assumptions and the experimental cuts. We extrapolate these results into the TeV energy region.     

Electron correlations in hydrocarbon molecules

An extensive investigation is made of electron correlations in the ground state of hydrocarbon molecules. This is done by starting from a semiempirical self-consistent field (SCF) calculation. The interatomic correlations are studied by means of a previously developed local approach to the correlation problem. It is demonstrated that the various contributions to the interatomic correlation energy can be described by simple analytical expressions which depend on the type of bond as well as on the bond lengths and angles. The results are easily understood in physical terms. The intraatomic correlations are obtained from an atoms in molecules type of approach as elaborated by Lievin et al. It makes use of a population analysis of the ground-state wave function as well as of calculations for the C and H atoms. We have then a very simple, and as it turns out rather accurate calculational scheme at hand. The computational times involved are of the same order as those for the fast SCF programs. As an application of the theory we have calculated the correlation energy difference between naphthalene and azulene.Dedicated to B. Mühlschlegel on the occasion of his 60th birthday

Optical bistability produced by resonant Joule's heating of semiconductors

The thermal hysteresis of Joule's absorption of infrared radiation in then-type semiconductor magnetoplasma is analysed. Such bistability is connected with the temperature dependence of the relaxation time of free electrons, their density being constant. The resonant Joule's absorption bistability of the pumping infrared wave near a Langmuir resonance of free electrons is discussed as well as the hysteresis cross-modulation of an infrared probing wave by means of a pumping microwave. The possibilities of smooth detuning of the hysteresis regime due to a magnetic-field control and low energy thresholds of these regimes are illustrated for InSb thin films in relatively weak magnetic fieldsH1–2 kG.

Chemistry of 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethane. 11. Synthesis and stereochemical characteristics of 3-methyl-5-oxo-2′-amino-5′-phenyl -3′,4′,4′-tricyanoisoxazoline-4-spiro-1′-cyclopent-2′-ene

The Michael condensation of 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethane with 3-methyl-4-benzylideneisoxazolin-5-one having the Z configuration leads to a heterocyclic spiran with retention of the cis orientation of the phenyl and keto groups. The deviations of the series of bond angles of the spiran from the standard values, the abnormal lengths of the C-C bonds adjacent to the gem-dicyano group, and the appearance of nonbonding >C=O(...)CN interactions and conjugation effects in the enaminonitrile fragment are discussed.For Communication 10, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1404–1410, October, 1988.
