QUANTUM SPIN CHAINS WITH COMPOSITE SPIN
1988
The ground state of quantum spin chains with two spin-1/2 operators per site is determined from finite chain calculations and compared to predictions from the continuum limit. As particular cases, results for the spin-1 Heisenberg chain, the spin-1 model with bilinear and biquadratic exchange and the extended Hubbard model are analysed.
Renormalization Constants of Quark Operators for the Non-Perturbatively Improved Wilson Action
2004
We present the results of an extensive lattice calculation of the renormalization constants of bilinear and four-quark operators for the non-perturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson action. The results are obtained in the quenched approximation at four values of the lattice coupling by using the non-perturbative RI/MOM renormalization method. Several sources of systematic uncertainties, including discretization errors and final volume effects, are examined. The contribution of the Goldstone pole, which in some cases may affect the extrapolation of the renormalization constants to the chiral limit, is non-perturbatively subtracted. The scale independent renormalization constants of bilinear quark…
Linear response in multipolar glasses
1988
We consider the unified hamiltonian with a bilinear coupling, describing the Ising-, vector-, Potts-, octupolar-glass and other glasses [1, 2]. We systematically derive the response to a homogeneous tensor-field as well as the response to an inhomogeneous random tensor-field. We investigate the overlap distribution function and its first and second moment. In all these considerations, we recover the results of the Ising spin glass for sufficiently symmetric multipolar glasses, but we also obtain differnt results for less symmetric glasses.
General interpolation scheme for thermal fluctuations in superconductors
2006
We present a general interpolation theory for the phenomenological effects of thermal fluctuations in superconductors. Fluctuations are described by a simple gauge invariant extension of the gaussian effective potential for the Ginzburg-Landau static model. The approach is shown to be a genuine variational method, and to be stationary for infinitesimal gauge variations around the Landau gauge. Correlation and penetration lengths are shown to depart from the mean field behaviour in a more or less wide range of temperature below the critical regime, depending on the class of material considered. The method is quite general and yields a very good interpolation of the experimental data for very…
Data analysis procedures for pulse ELDOR measurements of broad distance distributions
2004
The reliability of procedures for extracting the distance distribution between spins from the dipolar evolution function is studied with particular emphasis on broad distributions. A new numerically stable procedure for fitting distance distributions with polynomial interpolation between sampling points is introduced and compared to Tikhonov regularization in the dipolar frequency and distance domains and to approximate Pake transformation. Distance distributions with only narrow peaks are most reliably extracted by distance-domain Tikhonov regularization, while frequency-domain Tikhonov regularization is favorable for distributions with only broad peaks. For the quantification of distribut…
Rational Hermite Interpolation and Quadrature
1993
Rational Hermite interpolation is used in two different ways in order to derive and analyze quadrature rules. One approach yields quadratures of Gaussian-type whereas the other one generalizes Engels’ dual quadratures exhibiting the close connection between rational Hermite interpolation and quadrature in general.
A neural network clustering algorithm for the ATLAS silicon pixel detector
2014
A novel technique to identify and split clusters created by multiple charged particles in the ATLAS pixel detector using a set of artificial neural networks is presented. Such merged clusters are a common feature of tracks originating from highly energetic objects, such as jets. Neural networks are trained using Monte Carlo samples produced with a detailed detector simulation. This technique replaces the former clustering approach based on a connected component analysis and charge interpolation. The performance of the neural network splitting technique is quantified using data from proton-proton collisions at the LHC collected by the ATLAS detector in 2011 and from Monte Carlo simulations. …
Higher Order Sobolev-Type Spaces on the Real Line
2014
This paper gives a characterization of Sobolev functions on the real line by means of pointwise inequalities involving finite differences. This is also shown to apply to more general Orlicz-Sobolev, Lorentz-Sobolev, and Lorentz-Karamata-Sobolev spaces.
On Inverse Distance Weighting in Pollution Models
2011
When evaluating the impact of pollution, measurements from remote stations are often weighted by the inverse of distance raised to some nonnegative power (IDW). This is derived from Shepard's method of spatial interpolation (1968). The paper discusses the arbitrary character of the exponent of distance and the problem of monitoring stations that are close to the reference point. From elementary laws of physics, it is determined which exponent of distance should be chosen (or its upper bound) depending on the form of pollution encountered, such as radiant pollution (including radioactivity and sound), air pollution (plumes, puffs, and motionless clouds by using the classical Gaussian model),…
Pollution models and inverse distance weighting: some critical remarks
