Study of the Capabilities of the ALICE inner tracking system stand-alone for HBT analysis

Results are shown from a Monte Carlo simulation study of the capabilities of the Inner Tracking System of the ALICE experiment, used in standalone mode, for HBT analysis of Pb?Pb collisions at LHC energies (5.5 ATeV). Different values of the coherence factor and the Gaussian source radius have been studied. For this purpose, a specific ITS stand-alone tracking algorithm, based on the Denby-Peterson neural algorithm, has been developed.     

On the invariant measures for the two-dimensional euler flow

It is proven that the canonical Gibbs measure associated with a gas of vortices of intensity ± converges, in the limitN, 0,Nconst, to a Gaussian measure, which is invariant for the two-dimensional Euler equation.On leave from Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata Roma, Italy.On leave from Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma La Sapienza, Roma, Italy.     

Convergence of Chorin-Marsden product formula in the half-plane

Consider a viscous incompressible fluid in the half-plane and letu _t be a solution of the Navier-Stokes equation. In this paper we prove that the product formula (E _t/n G _t/n u) ⁿ u ₀, whereE _t is the Euler flow,G _t is the heat flow and is a suitable operator describing the vorticity production due to the boundary, converges uniformly tou _t in the limitn .Research supported by Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione, CNR contract No. 84.00016.02 and GNFM     

Nonlinear stability of circular vortex patches

This paper proves that circular vortex patches in the plane are stable for the nonlinear dynamical system generated by the Euler equations of incompressible fluids. This is achieved by establishing a relative variational principle in terms of either energy or angular momentum. Thus, we exploit and extend Arnold's idea in (1965, 1969) to a nonsmooth setting as well.Research partially supported by DOE contract DE-AT03-82ER12097 to the University of California, Berkeley     

Superstability estimates for anharmonic systems

We consider an anharmonic crystal described by variablesS _x ,x ^d ,S _x , with one-body interaction ¦S _x ¦ and nearest neighbor (n.n.) two body interaction ¦S _x –S _y ¦. We prove that, for ^d bounded, , where is the correlation function for the free boundary condition Gibbs state in ,>0 and are suitable constants independent of and .

Time evolution of infinite classical systems with singular,long range,two body interactions

Existence of dynamics for infinitely many hard-spheres inv dimensions is proven in a set of full equilibrium measure.Singular unbounded perturbations are considered with pair potentials diverging as (x – a)^–, >2 anda is the hard-core diameter. Long range forces are allowed with potentials decreasing at infinity asx , <v. The result corrects and generalizes a proof given in a previous paper by the same authors.Research partially supported by a CNR fellowship Posit. 204530.Research partially supported by a CNR fellowship.     

Selfadjointness of the Liouville operator for infinite classical systems

We study some properties of the time evolution of an infinite one dimensional hard cores system with singular two body interaction. We show that the Liouville operator is essentially antiselfadjoint on the algebra of local observables. Some consequences of this result are also discussed.Research partially supported by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, G.N.F.M.     

Existence theorems for an optimal control problem relative to a linear,hyperbolic partial differential equation

Existence of solutions is proved for a minimum problem for a control system described by a linear, hyperbolic partial differential equation. The cost function is an integral depending on a distributed control.This research was supported by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Rome, Italy.

Relationships between the classical KMS condition and the time evolution for classical systems are discussed.     

A stochastic lagrangean picture for the three dimensional navier-stokes equation +

We derive a representation formula for the solutions of the navier-Stokes flow in three dimensions in absence of boundary in terms of stochastic current lines. This pictures generalizes an analogous one given in two dimensions and on the other hand the classical Lafrangian picture for the Euler flow. We prove a Vanishing viscosity limit for the whole structure
