We investigate reactions between high-energy oxygen and carbon nuclei and various nuclear targets. The beam nucleus is described by an α-particle model and the reaction products are classified into groups corresponding to inelastic collisions of one, two, three and four alpha particles. Excellent agreement with experiment is obtained.
Perturbative QCD corrections to leptoproduction events can be introduced either in the form of matrix elements or of parton showers. Each of these approaches has its advantages and disadvantages, making a comparison of the two interesting. At present energies, both methods can be made to agree reasonably well with data, whereas differences appear at higher energies. The influence of these QCD effe
We consider the process 00 within the quark model. We find small corrections to the lowest-order result obtained from chiral loops. These corrections are very similar to those found in vector-meson-dominated models, and too small to be tested with the present data. We use this result, together with a simple pole model, to find the amplitude for KL0 and use this to estimate the CP-conserving part o
To transport their balls of dung along a constant bearing, diurnal savannah-living dung beetles rely primarily on the sun for compass information. However, in more cluttered environments, such as woodlands, this solitary compass cue is frequently hidden from view by surrounding vegetation. In these types of habitats, insects can, instead, rely on surrounding landmarks, the canopy pattern, or wide-
We trace the relationship between changes in the supply of capabilities from Chalmers University of Technology and the extent and nature of technology-based entrepreneurship in the region of Western Sweden in the period 1975-1993. Changes in the supply of capabilities are approximated by changes in volumes and orientation of graduates at MSc and PhD levels. The knowledge base of 539 new technology
The quark-gluon plasma (QGP) can be explored in relativistic heavy ion collisions by the jet quenching signature, i.e., by the energy loss of a high energy quark or gluon traversing the plasma. We introduce a novel QCD evolution formalism in the leading logarithm approximation, where normal parton radiation is interleaved with scattering on the plasma gluons occuring at a similar time scale. The i
We present results for static hadronic correlation functions in the high temperature phase of QCD, obtained by the MTc collaboration. The measured screening lengths are compared with values for a gas of free quarks. In the ρ{variant} and N channels deviations from free quark propagation are found to be small at temperatures T ≥ 1.5Tc.
In pharmaceutical biotechnology, ultrafiltration with diafiltration for recovery of fermentation products on an industrial scale is now the state-of-the-art technology. To optimise this process, DSS has developed two new concepts: (1) an optimised control system for constant permeate concentration even at varying feed streams and (2) continuous counter-current diafiltration to significantly reduce
The MAX IV injector design predicts a beam with 100 pC of charge and an emittance lower than 1 mm mrad. The photocathode pre-injector is based on the now close to standard 1.6-cell gun adapted to 2.9985 GHz, in combination with a Ti:Sapphire laser system. This system reaches the requirements of the injector operation for the SPF, but can be tuned beyond specifications to open up new operation mode
Heading towards a full automation of next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections, one important ingredient is the analytical integration over the one-particle phase space of the unresolved particle that is necessary when adding the subtraction terms to the virtual corrections. We present the implementation of these integrated dipoles in the MadGraph framework. The result is a package that allows a
