The Ground State of the Pseudogap in Cuprate Superconductors

T. Valla, A. V. Fedorov, Jinho Lee +2

We present studies of the electronic structure of La2-xBaxCuO4, a system where the superconductivity is strongly suppressed as static spin and charge orders or "stripes" develop ne…

In praise of measurement

N. David Mermin

The role of measurement in quantum computation is examined in the light of John Bell's critique of the how the term ``measurement'' is used in quantum mechanics. I argue that withi…

Charged Black Hole in a Canonical Ensemble

Andrew P. Lundgren

We consider the thermodynamics of a charged black hole enclosed in a cavity. The charge in the cavity and the temperature at the walls are fixed so that we have a canonical ensembl…

Anti-Deuteron Production in Upsilon(nS) Decays and the Nearby Continuum

D. M. Asner

Using CLEO data, we study the production of the anti-deuteron, d-bar, in Upsilon(nS) resonance decays and the nearby continuum. The branching ratios obtained are B^dir(Upsilon(1S)…

Simulations of the Disk-Jet Interaction in GRS 1915+105 and Other Systems

David M. Rothstein

After an X-ray binary experiences a transient jet ejection, it undergoes a phase in which its X-ray light curve is dominated, for some time, by thermal emission from an accretion d…
