Vortex dynamics in confined stratified conditions

Farkhad G. Aliev, Juan F. Sierra, Ahmad A. Awad +6

We report on linear spin dynamics in the vortex state of the Permalloy dots subjected to stratified (magnetic) field. We demonstrate experimentally and by simulations the existence…

Invariant submanifold for series arrays of Josephson junctions

Seth A. Marvel, Steven H. Strogatz

We study the nonlinear dynamics of series arrays of Josephson junctions in the large-N limit, where N is the number of junctions in the array. The junctions are assumed to be ident…

Measurement of Cross Sections for Jet Production in Events with a Boson in Collisions at TeV

CDF collaboration, T. Aaltonen

A measurement of the $\bjet$ production cross section is presented for events containing a boson produced in collisions at TeV, using data correspond…

Quantum limit of the triplet proximity effect in half-metal - superconductor junctions

B. Béri, J. N. Kupferschmidt, C. W. J. Beenakker +1

We apply the scattering matrix approach to the triplet proximity effect in superconductor-half metal structures. We find that for junctions that do not mix different orbital modes,…

Interface Modes and Their Instabilities in Accretion Disc Boundary Layers

David Tsang, Dong Lai

We study global non-axisymmetric oscillation modes trapped near the inner boundary of an accretion disc. Observations indicate that some of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) o…

Delayed Recombination and Standard Rulers

Francesco De Bernardis, Rachel Bean, Silvia Galli +3

Measurements of Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations in galaxy surveys have been recognized as a powerful tool for constraining dark energy. However, this method relies on the knowledge…

Exact 1-D Model for Coherent Synchrotron Radiation with Shielding and Bunch Compression

Christopher Mayes, Georg Hoffstaetter

Coherent Synchrotron Radiation has been studied effectively using a 1-dimensional model for the charge distribution in the realm of small angle approximations and high energies. He…

Reducing spurious gravitational radiation in binary-black-hole simulations by using conformally curved initial data

Geoffrey Lovelace

At early times in numerical evolutions of binary black holes, current simulations contain an initial burst of spurious gravitational radiation (also called "junk radiation") which…

Metal enrichment of the neutral gas of blue compact dwarf galaxies: the compelling case of Pox 36

V. Lebouteiller, D. Kunth, T. X. Thuan +1

We present the analysis of the interstellar spectrum of Pox 36 with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). Pox 36 was selected because of the relatively low foreground…

Modeling of Disk-Star Interaction: Different Regimes of Accretion and Variability

Marina M. Romanova, Akshay K. Kulkarni, Min Long +1

The appearance and time variability of accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (hereafter AMXPs, e.g. Wijnands & van der Klis 1998) depends strongly on the accretion rate, the effectiv…

Rayleigh-Taylor-Unstable Accretion and Variability of Magnetized Stars: Global Three-Dimensional Simulations

Akshay K. Kulkarni, Marina M. Romanova

We present results of 3D simulations of MHD instabilities at the accretion disk-magnetosphere boundary. The instability is Rayleigh-Taylor, and develops for a fairly broad range of…

Double bubbles in and

Joseph Corneli, Neil Hoffman, Paul Holt +4

We prove the double bubble conjecture in the three-sphere and hyperbolic three-space in the cases where we can apply Hutchings theory: 1) in , each enclosed volume…

Social networks that matter: Twitter under the microscope

Bernardo A. Huberman, Daniel M. Romero, Fang Wu

Scholars, advertisers and political activists see massive online social networks as a representation of social interactions that can be used to study the propagation of ideas, soci…

The AdS/QCD Correspondence: Still Undelivered

Csaba Csaki, Matthew Reece, John Terning

We consider the particle spectrum and event shapes in large N gauge theories in different regimes of the short-distance 't Hooft coupling, lambda. The mesons in the small lambda li…

Parameter counting in models with global symmetries

Joshua Berger, Yuval Grossman

We present rules for determining the number of physical parameters in models with exact flavor symmetries. In such models the total number of parameters (physical and unphysical) n…

Time parameters and Lorentz transformations of relativistic stochastic processes

Jörn Dunkel, Peter Hänggi, Stefan Weber

Rules for the transformation of time parameters in relativistic Langevin equations are derived and discussed. In particular, it is shown that, if a coordinate-time parameterized pr…

Fractional charges on an integer quantum Hall edge

E. Berg, Y. Oreg, E. -A. Kim +1

We propose ways to create and detect fractionally charged excitations in \emph{integer} quantum Hall edge states. The charge fractionalization occurs due to the Coulomb interaction…
