Higgsless Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
Csaba Csaki
We discuss the possibility of breaking the electroweak symmetry in theories with extra dimensions via boundary conditions, without a physical Higgs scalar in the spectrum. In these…
Boundary Conditions for the Einstein Evolution System
Lawrence E. Kidder, Lee Lindblom, Mark A. Scheel +2
New boundary conditions are constructed and tested numerically for a general first-order form of the Einstein evolution system. These conditions prevent constraint violations from…
Rate equations for Coulomb blockade with ferromagnetic leads
Stephan Braig, Piet W. Brouwer
We present a density-matrix rate-equation approach to sequential tunneling through a metal particle weakly coupled to ferromagnetic leads. The density-matrix description is able to…
A Framework for Creating Natural Language User Interfaces for Action-Based Applications
Stephen Chong, Riccardo Pucella
In this paper we present a framework for creating natural language interfaces to action-based applications. Our framework uses a number of reusable application-independent componen…
Mesoscopic bound on anisotropy in itinerant ferromagnets
Piet W. Brouwer, Denis A. Gorokhov
We calculate the anisotropy energy of a single-domain ferromagnetic particle in which the only source of anisotropy is the presence of non-magnetic impurities. We find that such an…
The Neon Abundance of Galactic Wolf-Rayet Stars
J. D. T. Smith, J. R. Houck
The fast, dense winds which characterize Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars obscure their underlying cores, and complicate the verification of evolving core and nucleosynthesis models. Core evo…
Complete Multiwavelength Characterization of Faint Chandra X-ray Sources Seen in the Spitzer Wide-Area IR Extragalactic (SWIRE) Survey
A. Franceschini, J. Manners, M. Polletta +24
We exploit deep combined observations with Spitzer and Chandra of the SWIRE survey in the ELAIS-N1 region, to investigate the nature of the faint X-ray and IR sources in common, to…
A new Search for Carbon Monoxide Absorption in the Transmission Spectrum of the Extrasolar Planet HD 209458b
Drake Deming, Timothy M. Brown, David Charbonneau +2
We have revisited the search for carbon monoxide absorption features in transmission during the transit of the extrasolar planet HD 209458b. We acquired 1077 high resolution spectr…
HI Narrow Self-Absorption in Dark Clouds: Correlations with Molecular Gas and Implications for Cloud Evolution and Star Formation
P. F. Goldsmith, D. Li
We present the results of a comparative study of HI narrow self-absorption (HINSA), OH, 13CO, and C18O in five dark clouds. The HINSA follows the distribution of the emission of th…
Slow Roll in Brane Inflation
Sarah E. Shandera
We address the issue of slow-roll in string theory models of inflation. Using a Kähler transformation and results from the D3-D7 model, we show why we expect flat directions to be…
Recent analytical and numerical techniques applied to the Einstein equations
Dave Neilsen, Luis Lehner, Olivier Sarbach +1
Combining deeper insight of Einstein's equations with sophisticated numerical techniques promises the ability to construct accurate numerical implementations of these equations. We…
CKM Results From CLEO
Karl M. Ecklund
I present recent CLEO measurements of inclusive semileptonic B decay spectra and the branching fraction. I also report preliminary results from a combined fit to spectral moments,…
Spectral energy distributions and luminosities of galaxies and AGN in the SPITZER SWIRE Legacy Survey
M. Rowan-Robinson, T. Babbedge, J. Surace +28
We discuss optical associations, spectral energy distributions and photometric redshifts for SWIRE sources in the ELAIS-N1 area and the Lockman Validation Field. The band-merged IR…
Time-Resolved Intraband Relaxation of Strongly-Confined Electrons and Holes in Colloidal PbSe Nanocrystals
Jeffrey M. Harbold, Frank W. Wise, Hui Du +3
The relaxation of strongly-confined electrons and holes between 1P and 1S levels in colloidal PbSe nanocrystals has been time-resolved using femtosecond transient absorption spectr…
350 micron Galactic Center Dust Observations with SHARC II
Johannes Staguhn, Dominic Benford, Mark Morris +1
We present first and preliminary submillimeter continuum images of the Galactic Center region obtained with the new Caltech Submillimeter Observatory facility camera SHARC II. The…
Coherent resonant interactions and slow light with molecules confined in photonic band-gap fibers
Saikat Ghosh, Jay E. Sharping, Dimitre G. Ouzounov +1
We investigate resonant nonlinear optical interactions and demonstrate induced transparency in acetylene molecules in a hollow-core photonic band-gap fiber at 1.5m. The induced…
Quasi-local contribution to the gravitational self-force
Warren G. Anderson, Eanna E. Flanagan, Adrian C. Ottewill
The gravitational self-force on a point particle moving in a vacuum background spacetime can be expressed as an integral over the past worldline of the particle, the so-called tail…
A Fully Sparse Implementation of a Primal-Dual Interior-Point Potential Reduction Method for Semidefinite Programming
Gun Srijuntongsiri, Stephen A. Vavasis
In this paper, we show a way to exploit sparsity in the problem data in a primal-dual potential reduction method for solving a class of semidefinite programs. When the problem data…
Collider Phenomenology of the Higgsless Models
Andreas Birkedal, Konstantin Matchev, Maxim Perelstein
We identify and study the signatures of the recently proposed Higgsless models at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We concentrate on tests of the mechanism of partial unitarity res…
Two-Loop Relations for Heavy-Quark Parameters in the Shape-Function Scheme
Matthias Neubert
Moments of the renormalized B-meson shape function provide a natural way to define short-distance, running heavy-quark parameters such as the b-quark mass and kinetic energy. These…
Heavy Quarkonium Physics
N. Brambilla, M. Krämer, R. Mussa +82
This report is the result of the collaboration and research effort of the Quarkonium Working Group over the last three years. It provides a comprehensive overview of the state of t…
Boundary conditions for Einstein's field equations: Analytical and numerical analysis
Olivier Sarbach, Manuel Tiglio
Outer boundary conditions for strongly and symmetric hyperbolic formulations of 3D Einstein's field equations with a live gauge condition are discussed. The boundary conditions hav…
Energy and variance optimization of many body wave functions
C. J. Umrigar, Claudia Filippi
We present a simple, robust and efficient method for varying the parameters in a many-body wave function to optimize the expectation value of the energy. The effectiveness of the m…
Measuring cal B(D^+ --> mu^+ nu) and the Pseudoscalar Decay Constant f_D^+
G. Bonvicini, CLEO Collaboration
In 60 inverse-pb of data taken on the psi(3770) resonance with the CLEO-c detector, we find 8 D+ -> mu+ nu decay candidates that are mostly signal, containing only 1 estimated back…
