Quasistationary solutions of self-gravitating scalar fields around collapsing stars
2015
Recent work has shown that scalar fields around black holes can form long-lived, quasistationary configurations surviving for cosmological time scales. Scalar fields thus cannot be discarded as viable candidates for dark matter halo models in galaxies around central supermassive black holes (SMBHs). One hypothesized formation scenario of most SMBHs at high redshift is the gravitational collapse of supermassive stars (SMSs) with masses of $\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{5}\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{M}}_{\ensuremath{\bigodot}}$. Any such scalar field configurations must survive the gravitational collapse of a SMS in order to be a viable model of physical reality. To check for the postcollapse survival …
Lower than low: Perspectives on zero- to ultralow-field nuclear magnetic resonance
2021
Abstract The less-traveled low road in nuclear magnetic resonance is discussed, honoring the contributions of Prof. Bernhard Blumich, aspiring towards reaching ‘a new low.’ A history of the subject and its current status are briefly reviewed, followed by an effort to prophesy possible directions for future developments.
Four-jet final state production in $e^+ e^-$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 130 to 184 GeV
1998
The four jet topology is analysed in the ALEPH data taken between November 1995 and November 1997, at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 130 to 184 GeV. While an unexpected accumulation of events with a dijet mas sum around 105 GeV/c**2 had been observed during the first run in 1995 at 130/136 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.7 pb-1, no significant differences between data and standard model prediction is noticed, either in the high energy runs (81.1 pb-1 taken at centre-of-mass energies from 161 to 184 GeV) or in the 7.1 pb-1 recorded during a new short run at 130/136 GeV in 1997. We have found no other explanation for the earlier reported ``four jet anomaly'' than a s…
Charge-state dynamics of 1.4- and 11-MeV/u uranium ions penetrating H2 and He gas targets
2018
Abstract Theoretical description and interpretation are presented of the recent experimental data on stripping of fast 238U ions, penetrating H2 and He gaseous targets: obtained in GSI, Darmstadt, Germany at 1.4 MeV/u with a H2 stripper, and in RIKEN, Saitama, Japan at 11 MeV/u with H2 and He strippers. Electron-loss and capture cross sections for uranium ions, interacting with H2 and He targets are calculated and used as input data in the BREIT code to obtain dynamic characteristics of uranium-ion beams: non-equilibrium and equilibrium charge-state fractions, mean and equilibrium charges, and equilibrium thicknesses. Special attention is paid for the calculation of the dynamic characterist…
Speeding up liquid-phase heavy element chemistry: Development of a vacuum to liquid transfer chamber (VLTC)
2021
Abstract We present a new system, which is suitable for performing fast liquid phase chemistry experiments and gives access to shorter-lived isotopes of super heavy elements (SHE) than accessible with current techniques. With this novel vacuum to liquid transfer chamber (VLTC), which is mounted behind a physical preseparator, the desired isotopes are transported from the low-pressure side of the recoil separator directly into the liquid phase of a chemical experiment. Simulations on the kinematics of evaporation residues were performed using SRIM, validating the general plausibility of the VLTC concept. Subsequently, the feasibility was demonstrated with 250 , 252 Cf fission fragments, whic…

Measurement of the branching fraction for D0 → K-π+
1997
The branching fraction for D-0 --> K(-)pi(+) is measured with the statistics collected by ALEPH from 1991 to 1994. The method is based on the comparison between the rate for the reconstructed D*+ --> (D) pi(+), D-0 --> K(-)pi(+) decay chain and the rate for inclusive soft pion production at low transverse momentum with respect to the nearest jet. The result is B(D-0 --> K(-)pi(+)) = (3.90 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.12)% (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Letter
2021
We present a study of the power threshold for L–H transitions (PLH) in almost pure helium plasmas, obtained in recent experiments at JET with an ITER-like wall (Be wall and W divertor). The most notable new result is that the density at which PLH is minimum, ${\bar{n}}_{\text{e},\mathrm{min}}$, is considerably higher for helium than for deuterium and hydrogen plasmas. We discuss the possible implications for ITER in its pre-fusion operating power phase.

2012
The ratio of production cross sections of the W and Z bosons with exactly one associated jet is presented as a function of jet transverse momentum threshold. The measurement has been designed to ma ...
Event shapes and jet rates in electron-positron annihilation at NNLO
2009
This article gives the perturbative NNLO results for the most commonly used event shape variables associated to three-jet events in electron-positron annihilation: Thrust, heavy jet mass, wide jet broadening, total jet broadening, C parameter and the Durham three-to-two jet transition variable. In addition the NNLO results for the jet rates corresponding to the Durham, Geneva, Jade-E0 and Cambridge jet algorithms are presented.
