Modell einer Coulombschen Ladung in der nichtlinearen Feldtheorie
1960
>The nonlinear field theory developed by K. Bechert has solutions which correspond to a charged particle whose charge is represented by a charge density which is zero in the particle center, increases to a maximum against the particle edges, and then again decreases. The linear expansion of the particles was measured by the characteristic length L, which accurately represents the classical particle radius; for an electron L is equal to the classical electron radius. The physical magnitudes integrated over a random spatial area are all infinite. In the theory a dimensionless number of the order-of-magnitude of 10/ sup 4//sup 2/ occurs. The particle was held together by gravitational forces w…
A chaque classe ses élèves : procédures et critères d'affectation à l'école élémentaire
2005
This paper examines the class formation procedures used in French elementary schools, specially when combination classes (with two grade levels) occur. Principals were interviewed about pupils' assignment criteria and at the same time, the class distributional properties of 70 classes were analysed. The results confirm that pupils are sorted into classrooms based on a combination of individual criteria, including gender and academic achievement, in an effort to keep to the initial mix of children. Moreover, principal and teachers assign more independent students to combination classes to ease the burden they place on teachers. These purposeful assignment procedures, which integrate academic…
First search for atmospheric and extraterrestrial neutrino-induced cascades with the IceCube detector
2011
We report on the first search for atmospheric and for diffuse astrophysical neutrino-induced showers (cascades) in the IceCube detector using 257 days of data collected in the year 2007-2008 with 22 strings active. A total of 14 events with energies above 16 TeV remained after event selections in the diffuse analysis, with an expected total background contribution of $8.3\pm 3.6$. At 90% confidence we set an upper limit of $E^2\Phi_{90%CL}<3.6\times10^{-7} GeV \cdot cm^{-2} \cdot s^{-1}\cdot sr^{-1} $ on the diffuse flux of neutrinos of all flavors in the energy range between 24 TeV and 6.6 PeV assuming that $\Phi \propto E^{-2}$ and that the flavor composition of the $\nu_e : \nu_\mu : \nu…
Comparison results for Hessian equations via symmetrization
2007
where the λ’s are the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix D2u of u and Sk is the kth elementary symmetric function. For example, for k = 1, S1(Du) = 1u, while, for k = n, Sn(D 2u) = detD2u. Equations involving these operators, and some more general equations of the form F(λ1, . . . , λn) = f in , (1.2) have been widely studied by many authors, who restrict their considerations to convenient cones of solutions with respect to which the operator in (1.2) is elliptic. Following [25] we define the cone 0k of ellipticity for (1.1) to be the connected component containing the positive cone 0 = {λ ∈ R : λi > 0 ∀i = 1, . . . , n} of the set where Sk is positive. Thus 0k is an open, convex, symmetric…
Elementary Goldstone Higgs boson and dark matter
2015
We investigate a perturbative extension of the Standard Model featuring elementary pseudo-Goldstone Higgs and dark matter particles. These are two of the five Goldstone bosons parametrising the SU(4)/Sp(4) coset space. They acquire masses, and therefore become pseudo-Goldstone bosons, due to the embedding of the Yukawa and the electroweak gauge interactions that do not preserve the full SU(4) symmetry. At the one-loop order the top corrections dominate and align the vacuum in the direction where the Higgs is mostly a pseudo-Goldstone boson. Because of the perturbative and elementary nature of the theory, the quantum corrections are precisely calculable. The remaining pseudo-Goldstone boson …
Non-abelian gauge structure in neutrino mixing
2010
We discuss the existence of a non-abelian gauge structure associated with flavor mixing. In the specific case of two flavor mixing of Dirac neutrino fields, we show that this reformulation allows to define flavor neutrino states which preserve the Poincar\'e structure. Phenomenological consequences of our analysis are explored.
Sum rules for light-by-light scattering
2010
We derive a set of sum rules for the light-by-light scattering and fusion: $\gamma\gamma \to all$, and verify them in lowest order QED calculations. A prominent implication of these sum rules is the superconvergence of the helicity-difference total cross-section for photon fusion, which in the hadron sector reveals an intricate cancellation between the pseudoscalar and tensor mesons. An experimental verification of superconvergence of the polarized photon fusion into hadrons is called for, but will only be possible at $e^+ e^-$ and $\gamma\gamma$ colliders with both beams polarized. We also show how the sum rules can be used to measure various contributions to the low-energy light-by-light …

Unraveling the LiNbO3 X-cut surface by atomic force microscopy and density functional theory
2014
The ${\text{LiNbO}}_{3}$(2$\overline{1}\overline{1}0$) surface, commonly referred to as X-cut, is investigated by means of atomic force microscopy and first-principles calculations. Atomically resolved atomic force microscopy images show geometrical patterns not compatible with truncated bulk terminations. Fast Fourier transformation of the real-space images shows an oblique surface unit cell with lattice parameters of $a=0.75\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$ nm, $b=0.54\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$ nm, and $\ensuremath{\alpha}=94.{8}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$. Comparing these experimental results with the theoretical models of stable surface terminations provides clear evidence for the for…
