Magnetostochastic resonance under colored noise condition
2012
Stochastic resonance (SR) is an amplification of the system output in correspondence of well-defined finite values of the noise strength that is injected into the system [Gammaitoni et al., Rev. Mod. Phys. 70, 223 (1998), Grigorenko et al., IEEE Trans. Magn. 31, 2491 (1995), Mantegna et al., J. Appl. Phys. 97, 10E519 (2005)]. In order to clarify the influence of a colored noise, in this paper magnetostochastic resonance (MSR) in magnetic systems described by the dynamic Preisach model is numerically investigated in the presence of colored noise. In this paper it is shown that: a) noise spectrum affects MSR; b) white noise, 1/f and 1/f(2) noise induce in magnetic systems described by the dyn…
The ALICE Collaboration
2009
The production of mesons containing strange quarks (KS, φ) and both singly and doubly strange baryons ( , , and − + +) are measured at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at √ s = 0.9 TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The results are obtained from the analysis of about 250 k minimum bias events recorded in 2009. Measurements of yields (dN/dy) and transverse momentum spectra at mid-rapidity for inelastic pp collisions are presented. For mesons, we report yields (〈dN/dy〉) of 0.184 ± 0.002(stat.) ± 0.006(syst.) for KS and 0.021 ± 0.004(stat.) ± 0.003(syst.) for φ. For baryons, we find 〈dN/dy〉 = 0.048 ± 0.001(stat.) ± 0.004(syst.) for , 0.047 ± 0.002(stat.) ± 0.005(syst.) for and 0.0101 ± 0.0…
Orbital-selective Mott transitions in the anisotropic two-band Hubbard model at finite temperatures
2005
The anisotropic degenerate two-orbital Hubbard model is studied within dynamical mean-field theory at low temperatures. High-precision calculations on the basis of a refined quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method reveal that two distinct orbital-selective Mott transitions occur for a bandwidth ratio of 2 even in the absence of spin-flip contributions to the Hund exchange. The second transition -- not seen in earlier studies using QMC, iterative perturbation theory, and exact diagonalization -- is clearly exposed in a low-frequency analysis of the self-energy and in local spectra.
Learning from observations of the microwave background at small angular scales
1996
In this paper, we focus our attention on the following question: How well can we recover the power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background from the maps of a given experiment?. Each experiment is described by a a pixelization scale, a beam size, a noise level and a sky coverage. We use accurate numerical simulations of the microwave sky and a cold dark matter model for structure formation in the universe. Angular scales smaller than those of previous simulations are included. The spectrum obtained from the simulated maps is appropriately compared with the theoretical one. Relative deviations between these spectra are estimated. Various contributions to these deviations are analyzed. The…
Sum Frequency Generation Spectra from Velocity–Velocity Correlation Functions
2017
We developed an expression for the calculation of the sum frequency generation spectra (SFG) of water interfaces that is based on the projection of the atomic velocities on the local normal modes. Our approach permits one to obtain the SFG signal from suitable velocity-velocity correlation functions, reducing the computational cost to that of the accumulation of a molecular dynamics trajectory, and therefore cutting the overhead costs associated with the explicit calculation of the dipole moment and polarizability tensor. Our method permits to interpret the peaks in the spectrum in terms of local modes, also including the bending region. The results for the water-air interface, obtained usi…
Penumbral oscillations in Na D lines
1990
Penumbral oscillations were measured in two opposite parts in the penumbra of a spot, using photographic spectra of Na D lines. Power spectra of velocities show the presence of the 5-min oscillation with lowv rms. Coherence and phase analyses between the velocity fluctuations of the lines are also studied. The results seem to show that the 5-min oscillation is still surviving as a standing or evanescent wave at the height of formation of Na D lines.
Frequency-dependent relaxation rate in superconductingYBa2Cu3O6+δ
2000
The submillimeter-wave $3 {\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}l\ensuremath{\nu}l40 {\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ complex conductivity of the reduced ${\mathrm{YBa}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{6+\ensuremath{\delta}}$ film ${(T}_{C}=56.5 \mathrm{K})$ was investigated for temperatures $4 \mathrm{K}lTl300 \mathrm{K}$ and compared to the properties of the same film in the optimally doped state. The frequency dependence of the effective quasiparticle scattering rate $1/{\ensuremath{\tau}}^{*}(\ensuremath{\nu})$ was extracted from the spectra. $1/{\ensuremath{\tau}}^{*}$ is shown to be frequency independent at low frequencies and high temperatures. A gradual change to $1/{\ensuremath{\tau}}^{…
Fluctuation-Limited Noise in a Superconducting Transition-Edge Sensor
2003
In order to investigate the origin of the until now unaccounted excess noise and to minimize the uncontrollable phenomena at the transition in x-ray microcalorimeters we have developed superconducting transition-edge sensors into an edgeless geometry, the so-called Corbino disk, with superconducting contacts in the center and at the outer perimeter. The measured rms current noise and its spectral density can be modeled as resistance noise resulting from fluctuations near the equilibrium superconductor-normal metal boundary. Peer reviewed
Measuring Supermassive Black Hole Masses: Correlation between the Redshifts of the Fe III UV Lines and the Widths of Broad Emission Lines
2019
We test the recently proposed (Mediavilla et al. 2018) black hole mass scaling relationship based on the redshift {with respect to the quasar's rest frame} of the Fe III$\lambda\lambda$2039-2113 line blend. To this end, we fit this feature in the spectra of a well suited sample of quasars, observed with X-shooter at the Very Large Telescope (VLT), whose masses have been independently estimated using the virial theorem. For the quasars of this sample we consistently confirm the redshift of the Fe III$\lambda\lambda$2039-2113 blend and find that it correlates with the squared widths of H$\beta$, H$\alpha$ and Mg II, which are commonly used as a measure of $M_{BH}/R$ to determine masses from t…
Multi-Wavelength VLA Observations of the Young Supernova SN 1993J
2003
We present continuum VLA measurements of SN1993J in M81 taken on 17 and 21 December 2000, about 2820 days after the supernova explosion, spanning the frequency range from 0.32 to 14.9 GHz. These observations aimed at discerning the main absorbing processes acting in SN1993J at late epochs. We discuss three models for the late radio emission of SN1993J: (i) a simple power-law spectrum, (ii) a power-law spectrum free-free absorbed by a screen of homogeneously distributed ionized gas, and (iii) a power-law spectrum free-free absorbed by a “clumpy” medium. We find that the best fit to the data is yielded by a power-law spectrum free-free absorbed by either a homogeneous, or a clumpy, distributi…
