The fluctuations due to the clustering of color sources can explain the behaviour of the scaled multiplicity variance and
transverse momentum fluctuations with centrality. They also predict a nonmonotonic behaviour with centrality for the multiplicity
associated to high-pT events. The clustering of color sources gives rise to an increase in the long-range correlations with centrality as well
as to a supression at high centrality with respect to superposition models. 相似文献
We explore the phenomenology of the localized gravity model of Randall and Sundrum where a 5-dimensional nonfactorizable geometry generates the gauge hierarchy by an exponential function called a warp factor. The Kaluza-Klein (KK) tower of gravitons in this scenario has different properties from those in factorizable models. We derive the KK graviton interactions with the standard model fields and obtain constraints from their direct production at hadron colliders as well as from virtual KK exchanges. We study the KK spectrum in e(+)e(-) annihilation and show how to determine the model parameters if the first KK state is observed. 相似文献
The surface energy of kaolinite was determined from the water adsorption isotherm, the water/kaolinite contact angle, and the surface tension of water, using a formula obtained by combining the Young equation with the general equation of pair interaction. This formula could be represented by a polynomial function whose roots gave one real value of 252.57±2.75 mJ m–2 for the surface energy of kaolinite. An important feature of the procedure for obtaining this energy is the use of the Young equation to determine the range in which the value of the surface energy lies. 相似文献
Summary: The unusual structure of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and Laponite clay in transparent nanocomposite films was investigated using scanning electron, atomic force, and optical microscopy, and X‐ray scattering. Each method is sensitive to different aspects of structural features and together they measure the resulting morphology and shear‐induced orientation. On nanometer length scales, clay platelets were found to orient in bundles while polymer crystallinity was suppressed. Microscopy led to the observation of unexpected and highly oriented multilayers on the micron length scale.

A finite-element programme has been developed to model strain relaxation in the case of epitaxial Si1?xGex/Si coherent quantum dots either with or without compositional inhomogeneities. The resulting elastic displacement fields are used to calculate the intensity of dynamical plan view TEM images of such quantum dots. Various types of linear or parabolic compositional inhomogeneities are studied. TEM images of quantum dots with such inhomogeneities are calculated as well as those of quantum dots with a homogeneous composition. They are then compared with experimental images. It is shown how the analysis of the main features of these experimental images (black/white lobes and moiré-like fringes) enables us to determine the conditions in which it is possible to distinguish quantum dots with a homogeneous composition from those with compositional inhomogeneity. 相似文献
In this paper, we establish comparison results (maximum principles) which allow us to use the monotone method and the method of upper and lower solutions in order to build convergent sequences to the solutions of difference equations of the type j u k = f k , u k +1 , max l ] { k m h +1,…, k +1} u l , k ] I , u 0 = u T , with j u k = u k +1 m u k , I ={0,1,…, T m 1} and f ] C ( I 2 R 2 R , R ). 相似文献
This paper is devoted to the study of difference equations coupled with periodic boundary value conditions. We deduce the existence of at least one positive solution provided that the nonlinear part of the equation satisfies some monotonicity assumptions and the existence of a positive upper solution. The result is obtained from a new fixed point theorem based on the classical Krasnoselskii's cone expansion/contraction theorem and the constant sign properties of the related Green's function. 相似文献
Models for light dark matter particles with masses below 1 GeV/c\(^2\) are a natural and well-motivated alternative to so-far unobserved weakly interacting massive particles. Gram-scale cryogenic calorimeters provide the required detector performance to detect these particles and extend the direct dark matter search program of CRESST. A prototype 0.5 g sapphire detector developed for the \(\nu \)-cleus experiment has achieved an energy threshold of \(E_{th}=(19.7\pm 0.9)\) eV. This is one order of magnitude lower than for previous devices and independent of the type of particle interaction. The result presented here is obtained in a setup above ground without significant shielding against ambient and cosmogenic radiation. Although operated in a high-background environment, the detector probes a new range of light-mass dark matter particles previously not accessible by direct searches. We report the first limit on the spin-independent dark matter particle-nucleon cross section for masses between 140 and 500 MeV/c\(^2\). 相似文献
