The paper presents the low-level languages implemented up to date to program the PAPIA machine. The parallel assembly-level P-MAGRO package, the microcode level instruction set and a machine simulating environment are described.
Search for second generation scalar leptoquarks in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
2012
The results of a search for the production of second generation scalar leptoquarks are presented for final states consisting of either two muons and at least two jets or a muon plus missing transverse momentum and at least two jets. A total of 1.03 fb−1 integrated luminosity of proton-proton collision data produced by the Large Hadron Collider at \(\sqrt{s}=7~\mbox{TeV}\) and recorded by the ATLAS detector is used for the search. The event yields in the signal regions are found to be consistent with the Standard Model background expectations. The production of second generation leptoquarks is excluded for a leptoquark mass mLQ<594 (685) GeV at 95 % confidence level, for a branching ratio of…
Dynamical formation of a Reissner-Nordström black hole with scalar hair in a cavity
2016
In a recent Letter [Sanchis-Gual et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 141101 (2016)], we presented numerical relativity simulations, solving the full Einstein--Maxwell--Klein-Gordon equations, of superradiantly unstable Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes (BHs), enclosed in a cavity. Low frequency, spherical perturbations of a charged scalar field trigger this instability. The system's evolution was followed into the nonlinear regime, until it relaxed into an equilibrium configuration, found to be a hairy BH: a charged horizon in equilibrium with a scalar field condensate, whose phase is oscillating at the (final) critical frequency. Here, we investigate the impact of adding self-interactions to the …
Imaging magnetic scalar potentials by laser-induced fluorescence from bright and dark atoms
2014
We present a spectroscopic method for mapping two-dimensional distributions of magnetic field strengths (magnetic scalar potential lines) using charge-coupled device (CCD) recordings of the fluorescence patterns emitted by spin-polarized Cs vapour in a buffer gas exposed to inhomogeneous magnetic fields. The method relies on the position-selective destruction of spin polarization by magnetic resonances induced by multi-component oscillating magnetic fields, such that magnetic potential lines can be directly detected by the CCD camera. We also present a generic algebraic model allowing for the calculation of the fluorescence patterns and find excellent agreement with the experimental observa…
Classical Field Theory of Gravitation
2012
The classical field theories developed in the preceding chapters all have in common that they are formulated on a flat spacetime, i.e. on a four-manifold which is a Euclidean space and which locally is decomposable into a direct product M 4 = ℝR3 ℝR of a physical space ℝR3 x of motions, and a time axis ℝRt. The first factor is the threedimensional space as it is perceived by an observer at rest while the time axis displays the (coordinate) time that he/she measures on his/her clocks. This spacetime is endowed with the Poincare group as the invariance group of physical laws and inherits the corresponding specific causality structure.
Wormholes supported by hybrid metric-Palatini gravity
2012
Recently, a modified theory of gravity was presented, which consists of the superposition of the metric Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian with an $f(\cal R)$ term constructed \`{a} la Palatini. The theory possesses extremely interesting features such as predicting the existence of a long-range scalar field, that explains the late-time cosmic acceleration and passes the local tests, even in the presence of a light scalar field. In this brief report, we consider the possibility that wormholes are supported by this hybrid metric-Palatini gravitational theory. We present here the general conditions for wormhole solutions according to the null energy conditions at the throat and find specific examples…
Vacuum Topology of the Two Higgs Doublet Model
2011
We perform a systematic study of generic accidental Higgs-family and CP symmetries that could occur in the two-Higgs-doublet-model potential, based on a Majorana scalar-field formalism which realizes a subgroup of GL(8,C). We derive the general conditions of convexity and stability of the scalar potential and present analytical solutions for two non-zero neutral vacuum expectation values of the Higgs doublets for a typical set of six symmetries, in terms of the gauge-invariant parameters of the theory. By means of a homotopy-group analysis, we identify the topological defects associated with the spontaneous symmetry breaking of each symmetry, as well as the massless Goldstone bosons emergin…
Scherk-Schwarz reduction of D=5 special and quaternionic geometry
2004
We give the N=2 gauged supergravity interpretation of a generic D=4, N=2 theory as it comes from generalized Scherk-Schwarz reduction of D=5, N=2 (ungauged) supergravity. We focus on the geometric aspects of the D=4 data such as the general form of the scalar potential and masses in terms of the gauging of a ``flat group''. Higgs and super-Higgs mechanism are discussed in some detail.

A semi-3D method of calculating the magnetic field in a conventional sector-focused cyclotron
1991
Abstract A semi-3D method to calculate the median plane magnetic field in a conventional sector-focused cyclotron was developed in order to avoid the need of model magnet studies in the design of the Jyvaskyla K130 cyclotron. The method gives reasonably good results especially at high fields. At low fields where the relative permeability of iron is high the field can be calculated assuming constant magnetic scalar potential on the iron surfaces and solving a three-dimensional Laplace equation. The field calculation methods will be described and the comparison of calculated and measured fields will be given.
