Droghe leggere e criminalità organizzata: una relazione problematica
2022
Il contributo analizza il tema dei rapporti tra trattamento penale delle droghe c.d. “leggere” e contrasto alla criminalità organizzata dedita al narcotraffico, con riguardo all’ordinamento europeo, internazionale e di alcuni Paesi dell’UE (Spagna, Portogallo, Grecia, Germania e Italia). Seguendo un approccio di tipo integrato, all’analisi del dato normativo si affianca la descrizione della fenomenologia dei traffici e la valutazione dei primi effetti che le riforme antiproibizioniste entrate in vigore in alcuni ordinamenti del Nord e del Sud America hanno prodotto sul fronte del mercato illecito. Il fine è di evidenziare i punti di forza e di debolezza dei modelli di depenalizzazione, tene…
The KeV Majoron as a dark matter particle
1993
We consider a very weakly interacting KeV majoron as dark matter particle (DMP), which provides both the critical density $\rho_{cr} = 1.88 \times 10^{-29} h^{2}$ $g/cm^{3}$ and the galactic scale $M_{gal}$ $\sim m^{3}_{Pl}/m^{2}_{J} \sim 10^{12} M_{\odot} (m_{J}/1 KeV)^{-2}$ for galaxy formation. The majoron couples to leptons only through some new "directly interacting particles", called DIPS, and this provides the required smallness of the coupling constants. If the masses of these DIPS are greater than the scale $V_s$ characterizing the spontaneous violation of the global lepton symmetry they are absent at the corresponding phase transition ($T \sim V_s$) and the majorons are produced d…
Thermal photons from fluctuating initial conditions
2011
Event-by-event fluctuations of initial QCD-matter density produced in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC enhance the production of thermal photons significantly in the region $2 \le p_T \le 4$ GeV/$c$ compared to a smooth initial-state averaged profile in the ideal hydrodynamic calculation. This enhancement is a an early time effect due to the presence of hotspots or over-dense regions in the fluctuating initial state. The effect of fluctuations is found to be stronger in peripheral than in central collisions.
Resonanz, Autonomie und prekäre Zeit
2020
Wir leben in der Zeit. Wann? Wie lange? Ab wann? All dies sind zentrale Fragen unserer Kommunikation sowie unseres Selbst-Dialogs. Solche Fragen sind nicht selten durch einen eindringlichen emotionalen Ton geprägt und vermitteln zumeist mehr als nur ein Bedürfnis nach schlichten Informationen. Doch wir leben nicht nur in dieser objektivierten, gemessenen, konventionellen Zeit. Die philosophische und existentielle Reflexion stellt eine erlebte, subjektive Zeit heraus, die für uns lebenswichtig ist. Diese innere Zeitlichkeit und die interpersonelle Resonanz, die damit einhergeht, sind durch das heutige prekäre Leben bedroht. Damit ist jedoch das Fundament unseres Subjekt-Seins in Gefahr.
Precision electroweak measurements on the Z resonance
2005
We report on the final electroweak measurements performed with data taken at the Z resonance by the experiments operating at the electron-positron colliders SLC and LEP. The data consist of 17 million Z decays accumulated by the ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL experiments at LEP, and 600 thousand Z decays by the SLD experiment using a polarised beam at SLC. The measurements include cross-sections, forward-backward asymmetries and polarised asymmetries. The mass and width of the Z boson, $\MZ$ and $\GZ$, and its couplings to fermions, for example the $\rho$ parameter and the effective electroweak mixing angle, are precisely measured. The number of light neutrino species is determined to be 2.9840…

A new observable to measure the top-quark mass at hadron colliders
2013
A new method to measure the top-quark mass in high energetic hadron collisions is presented. We use theoretical predictions calculated at next-to-leading order accuracy in quantum chromodynamics to study the ( normalized) differential distribution of the t (t) over bar + 1-jet cross section with respect to its invariant mass root s(t (t) over barj). The sensitivity of the method to the top-quark mass together with the impact of various theoretical and experimental uncertainties has been investigated and quantified. The new method allows for a complementary measurement of the top-quark mass parameter and has a high potential to become competitive in precision with respect to established appr…
Hermeneutic Phenomenology meets Transformative Learning
2017
The research methods that have been employed in the latest studies on transformative learning are several. This diversity can be considered as a strength insofar as each method, with its underlying philosophy of research, has contributed to the enhancement of transformative learning, namely disclosing new insights
S-4 as a natural flavor symmetry for lepton mixing
2008
Group theoretical arguments seem to indicate the discrete symmetry S4 as the minimal flavour symmetry compatible with tribimaximal neutrino mixing. We prove in a model independent way that indeed S4 can realize exact tribimaximal mixing through different symmetry breaking patterns. We present two models in which lepton tribimaximal mixing is realized in different ways and for each one we discuss the superpotential that leads to the correct breaking of the flavor symmetry.
