Implementing consistent NLO factorization in single inclusive forward hadron production
2017
Single inclusive forward hadron production in high-energy hadron collisions can provide an important test of the Color Glass Condensate picture at small $x$. Recent studies of this process at next-to-leading order have led to problematic results, with cross sections becoming negative at large transverse momenta. We study a new formulation of this quantity proposed recently by Iancu et al. We show that it leads to physical results up to large transverse momenta at fixed coupling. Taking into account running coupling effects in a way that is consistent with existing DIS calculations still poses a challenge.
Efficient Iterative Solution of Time-harmonic Scattering by Objects in Layered Fluid
2008
We consider the computation of time-harmonic acoustic scattering by sound-soft or elastic objects in layered media. An example of such problem is the scattering by a mine buried in sediment. The computational domain can be tens or hundreds of meters long while the target requires modeling of details smaller than one centimeter. A discretized problem can have several billion degrees of freedom.
Chiral Magnetic Domain Wall and Skyrmion Memory Devices
2021
In the chapter, we have reviewed the fundamental physics for designing magnetic domain wall memories, especially domain wall racetrack memories. An overview of how the racetrack has been functionally improved and the fundamental physics behind the operating mechanism has developed is shown. Material wise, the design of the racetrack has changed from using in-plane magnetic materials to out-of-plane magnetic materials. The process of changing the material design resulted in new physics such as the spin-orbit torques (SOTs) and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) which resulted in domain wall motion with higher efficiency and stability. The SOT is the main mechanism in moving the doma…
ALEPH: a Detector for Electron-Positron Annihilations at LEP
1990
Process-centred Software Engineering Environments (PSEE) are the most recent generation of environments supporting software development activities. Most of PSEE are based on mechanisms promoting enforcement and automation of process activities. In this kind of mechanisms the process models are prescribed in a detailed and complete way. But the experience shows that supporting processes is more concerned with the flexibility of guidance offered during the process performance than with enforcement of a collection of predefined process models. In this paper, we present a solution to support strategic processes in a PSEE by providing a flexible guidance during process enactment.
High-dimensional one-way quantum processing enabled by optical d-level cluster states
2019
By introducing and modifying two-photon hyper-entangled states in the time-frequency domain using an on-chip micro-cavity, we succeed in generating high-dimensional cluster states, demonstrate d-level measurement-based quantum processing and show the state’s higher noise tolerance.
Existence results for a nonlinear nonautonomous transmission problem via domain perturbation
2021
In this paper we study the existence and the analytic dependence upon domain perturbation of the solutions of a nonlinear nonautonomous transmission problem for the Laplace equation. The problem is defined in a pair of sets consisting of a perforated domain and an inclusion whose shape is determined by a suitable diffeomorphism $\phi$. First we analyse the case in which the inclusion is a fixed domain. Then we will perturb the inclusion and study the arising boundary value problem and the dependence of a specific family of solutions upon the perturbation parameter $\phi$.
Computing the full two-loop gluon Regge trajectory within Lipatov's high energy effective action
2013
We discuss computational details of our recent result, namely, the first derivation of the two-loop gluon Regge trajectory within the framework of Lipatov's high energy effective action. In particular, we elaborate on the direct evaluation of Feynman two-loop diagrams by using the Mellin-Barnes representations technique. Our result is in precise agreement with previous computations in the literature, providing this way a highly non-trivial test of the effective action and the proposed subtraction and renormalization scheme combined with our approach for the treatment of the loop diagrams.
On the critical behavior for inhomogeneous wave inequalities with Hardy potential in an exterior domain
2021
Abstract We study the wave inequality with a Hardy potential ∂ t t u − Δ u + λ | x | 2 u ≥ | u | p in ( 0 , ∞ ) × Ω , $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \partial_{tt}u-{\it\Delta} u+\frac{\lambda}{|x|^2}u\geq |u|^p\quad \mbox{in } (0,\infty)\times {\it\Omega}, \end{array}$$ where Ω is the exterior of the unit ball in ℝ N , N ≥ 2, p > 1, and λ ≥ − N − 2 2 2 $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \left(\frac{N-2}{2}\right)^2 \end{array}$ , under the inhomogeneous boundary condition α ∂ u ∂ ν ( t , x ) + β u ( t , x ) ≥ w ( x ) on ( 0 , ∞ ) × ∂ Ω , $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \alpha \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}(t,x)+\beta u(t,x)\geq w(x)\quad\mbox{on } (0,\infty)\times \partial{\it\Omega}, \e…
Dispersion relation formalism for virtual Compton scattering of the proton
2001
We present in detail a dispersion relation formalism for virtual Compton scattering (VCS) off the proton from threshold into the $\Delta(1232)$-resonance region. Such a formalism can be used as a tool to extract the generalized polarizabilities of the proton from both unpolarized and polarized VCS observables over a larger energy range. We present calculations for existing and forthcoming VCS experiments and demonstrate that the VCS observables in the energy region between pion production threshold and the $\Delta(1232)$-resonance show an enhanced sensitivity to the generalized polarizabilities.
Constraints for nuclear PDFs from the LHCb D-meson data
2019
We quantify the impact of LHCb D-meson measurements at $\sqrt{s}=5 \, {\rm TeV}$ on the EPPS16 and nCTEQ15 nuclear PDFs. In our study, the theoretical description of D-meson production is based on the recently developed SACOT-$m_{\rm T}$ variant of the general-mass variable-flavour-number formalism, and the impact on PDFs is estimated via reweighting methods. We pay special attention on the theoretical uncertainties known to us, and are led to exclude the $p_{\rm T}<3 \, {\rm GeV}$ region from our main analysis. The LHCb data can be accommodated well within EPPS16 and nCTEQ15, and the data provide stringent constraints on the gluons in the shadowing/antishadowing regions. No evidence of …
