Fast Ion Surface Energy Loss and Straggling in the Surface Wake Fields

T. Nandi, K. Haris, Hala +10

We have measured the stopping powers and straggling of fast, highly ionized atoms passing through thin bilayer targets made up of metals and insulators. We were surprised to find t…

Holographic dark energy in Brans-Dicke theory with logarithmic form of scalar field

C P Singh, Pankaj Kumar

In this paper, an interacting holographic dark energy model with Hubble horizon as an infra-red cut-off is considered in the framework of Brans-Dicke theory. We propose a logarithm…
