Partially implicit Runge-Kutta methods for wave-like equations

2012

In this work we present a new class of Runge-Kutta (RK) methods for solving systems of hyperbolic equations with a particular structure, generalization of a wave-equation. The new methods are {\it partially implicit} in the sense that a proper subset of the equations of the system contains some terms which are treated implicitly. These methods can be viewed as a particular case of the implicit-explicit (IMEX) RK methods for systems of equations with wave-like structure. For these systems, the optimal methods with the new structure are easier to derive than the IMEX ones, specially when aiming at higher-order (up to fourth-order in this work). The methods are constructed considering the clas…

Quantization of Poisson Lie Groups and Applications

1996

LetG be a connected Poisson-Lie group. We discuss aspects of the question of Drinfel'd:can G be quantized? and give some answers. WhenG is semisimple (a case where the answer isyes), we introduce quantizable Poisson subalgebras ofC ∞(G), related to harmonic analysis onG; they are a generalization of F.R.T. models of quantum groups, and provide new examples of quantized Poisson algebras.

Topological confinement in QCD2

1994

In two dimensional SU(N) theories confinement can be understood as a topological property of the vacuum. In the bosonized version of two dimensional theories no trivial boundary conditions (topology) play a crucial role. They are inevitable if one wants to describe non singlet states. In abelian bosonization, color is the charge of a topological current in terms of a non-linear meson field. We show that cofinement appears as the dynamical collapse of the topology associated with its non trivial boundary conditions. Vento Torres, Vicente, Vicente.Vento@ific.uv.es

Quantum Field Theory under external conditions: gravitation and electrodynamics

2022

The semiclassical approximation in Quantum Field Theory is commonly used to study the propagation of quantized fields in classical backgrounds and accounts for fascinating non-perturbative quantum phenomena such as the spontaneous creation of particles induced by (non-trivial) external configurations. In this context, the computation of vacuum expectation values of physical observables becomes a complex issue, and advanced renormalization techniques are required to tame the new ultraviolet divergences caused by the external backgrounds. In curved spacetimes, all these interesting features are commonly studied within the Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime framework, initiated in the ea…

Diseño de un sistema híbrido nanoparticula semiconductora-pireno y su aplicación como sensor

2016

Esta investigación se centró en el desarrollo de un sistema híbrido organico-inorganico, con múltiples señales emisivas a distintas longitudes de onda, y su evaluación como herramienta analítica selectiva y de cuantificación de nitrocompuestos aromáticos. El sistema híbrido consistió por una parte, en nanopartículas semiconductoras específicamente se utilizó nanocristales de tipo CdSe (core) y CdSe/ZnS (core shell). Estos nanohíbridos se eligieron por su potencial aplicación como sensores. El componente orgánico consistió en ligandos funcionales que presentan un fluoróforo específicamente de pireno (Py). Este fluoróforo fue elegido, por su buena fotoestabilidad y la sensibilidad de sus prop…

Observation and Measurement of Forward Proton Scattering in Association with Lepton Pairs Produced via the Photon Fusion Mechanism at ATLAS

2020

The observation of forward proton scattering in association with lepton pairs (eþe− þ p or μþμ− þ p) produced via photon fusion is presented. The scattered proton is detected by the ATLAS Forward Proton spectrometer, while the leptons are reconstructed by the central ATLAS detector. Proton-proton collision data recorded in 2017 at a center-of-mass energy of ffiffiffi s p ¼ 13 TeV are analyzed, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 14.6 fb−1. A total of 57 (123) candidates in the ee þ p (μμ þ p) final state are selected, allowing the background-only hypothesis to be rejected with a significance exceeding 5 standard deviations in each channel. Proton-tagging techniques are introduced f…

Charged jet cross section and fragmentation in proton-proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

2019

Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license. Further distribution of this work must maintain attribution to the author(s) and the published article’s title, journal citation, and DOI. We report the differential charged jet cross section and jet fragmentation distributions measured with the ALICE detector in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy √s=7  TeV. Jets with pseudorapidity |η|40  GeV/c, the pythia calculations also agree with the measured charged jet cross section. pythia6 simulations describe the fragmentation distributions to 15%. Larger discrepancies are observed for pythia8. SCOAP
