Limits on anomalous trilinear gauge boson couplings from WW, WZ and Wγ production in pp¯ collisions at s=1.96 TeV
2012
We present searches for the anomalous γWW and ZWW trilinear gauge boson couplings from WW and WZ production using lepton plus dijet final states and a combination with results from Wγ, WW, and WZ production with leptonic final states. The analyzed data correspond to up to 8.6fb -1 of integrated luminosity collected by the D0 detector in pp- collisions at s=1.96TeV. We set the most stringent limits at a hadron collider to date assuming two different relations between the anomalous coupling parameters δκ γ, λ, and δg1Z for a cutoff energy scale Λ=2TeV. The combined 68% C.L. limits are -0.057lδκ γl0.154, -0.015lλl0.028, and -0.008lδg1Zl0.054 for the LEP parameterization, and -0.007lδκl0.081 an…
Search for flavor changing neutral currents in decays of top quarks
2011
We present a search for flavor changing neutral currents in decays of top quarks. The analysis is based on a search for ttbar -> l'null + jets (l, l' = e, mu) final states using 4.1 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. We extract limits on the branching ratio B(t -> Zq) (q = u, c quarks), assuming anomalous tuZ or tcZ couplings. We do not observe any sign of such anomalous coupling and set a limit of B < 3.2% at 95% C.L.
Scattering lengths and universality in superdiffusive L\'evy materials
2012
We study the effects of scattering lengths on L\'evy walks in quenched one-dimensional random and fractal quasi-lattices, with scatterers spaced according to a long-tailed distribution. By analyzing the scaling properties of the random-walk probability distribution, we show that the effect of the varying scattering length can be reabsorbed in the multiplicative coefficient of the scaling length. This leads to a superscaling behavior, where the dynamical exponents and also the scaling functions do not depend on the value of the scattering length. Within the scaling framework, we obtain an exact expression for the multiplicative coefficient as a function of the scattering length both in the a…
Proposal of Up-to-Date Standards on Methods of Measuring Noise Parameters of Microwave Transistors
1994
One of the most interesting topics for microrwave community is the characterization of low-noise transistors. After so many years, the Standards suggested by IEEE in 1960 are considered obsolete by the experimenters. A new methodology is here proposed as a standard. To support this proposal, an original measuring system for the complete characterization of microwave transistors in terms of noise, gain and scattering parameters from noise figure measurements only is presented.
Multiple scattering theory for non-local and multichannel potentials.
2012
International audience; Methodological advances in multiple scattering theory (MST) in both wave and Green's function versions are reported for the calculation of electronic ground and excited state properties of condensed matter systems with an emphasis on core-level photoemission and absorption spectra. Full-potential MST is reviewed and extended to non-local potentials. Multichannel MST is reformulated in terms of the multichannel density matrix whereby strong electron correlation of atomic multiplet type can be accounted for in both ground and excited states.
Quantum field theory of dilute homogeneous Bose-Fermi mixtures at zero temperature: General formalism and beyond mean-field corrections
2002
We consider a dilute homogeneous mixture of bosons and spin-polarized fermions at zero temperature. We first construct the formal scheme for carrying out systematic perturbation theory in terms of single particle Green's functions. We introduce a new relevant object, the renormalized boson-fermion T-matrix which we determine to second order in the boson-fermion s-wave scattering length. We also discuss how to incorporate the usual boson-boson T-matrix in mean-field approximation to obtain the total ground state properties of the system. The next order term beyond mean-field stems from the boson-fermion interaction and is proportional to $a_{\scriptsize BF}k_{\scriptsize F}$. The total groun…
Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis
2008
In 1976, a Canadian group described in detail for the first time a new ion beam analytical method based on the elastic recoil of target nuclei collided with high-energy heavy incident ions. In this case, 25–40-MeV 35Cl impinged on a multilayer C or Cu (backing)/LiF or LiOH/Cu (30–150 nm)/LiF or LiOH and H, Li, O, and F recoiled atoms were detected. These exemplified the main characteristics of elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA): its sensitivity to depth distribution and its ability to detect light elements in heavy substrates. In 1979, the use of megaelectronvolt energy 4He beams permitted the use of ERDA to be extended to depth profiling of hydrogen isotopes in the near-surface regio…
Existence of two time scales in the phase transitions of BaTiO3
1991
Abstract We report new Raman scattering measurements in the tetragonal phase of a single domain BaTiO3 crystal. Data reveal the occurence of a large quasi elastic scattering. The Raman profile is analysed in terms of coexisting soft phonon and Debye relaxation.
Elastic scattering cross sections for 6Li and 7Li scattering by aluminum, silicon and titanium below 12 MeV at angles of 140∘ and 170∘
1999
Abstract Elastic scattering cross sections for 6Li and 7Li scattering by natural aluminum, silicon and titanium have been measured in the energy range of 4–11 MeV. Scattering angles were 140∘ and 170∘ for 6Li and 140∘ for 7Li. The threshold energies above which Rutherford backscattering becomes invalid have been determined. Above this threshold the cross sections decrease rapidly, rendering backscattering analysis impractical. For 7Li scattering by Al and Si the observed threshold values were higher than for 6Li scattering. This behavior was reversed for scattering by Ti. The findings were systematic for both scattering angles. The present cross section and threshold data have been compared…
Role of Levinson’s theorem in neutron-deuteron quartetS-wave scattering
1990
The real part of the phase shift for elastic neutron-deuteron scattering in the quartet {ital S} wave channel, as calculated with the exact three-body theory, assumes at threshold the value {pi} if normalized to zero at infinity; that is, it does not comply with the expectations raised by a naive application of Levinson's theorem since no bound state exists in this channel. A description of this situation on an equivalent two-body level via a potential, constructed by means of the Marchenko inverse scattering theory, necessitates the introduction of a fictitious bound state. This predominantly attractive, equivalent local potential can be related via supersymmetry to a strictly phase equiva…
