Hard Single Diffraction in pbarp Collisions at root-s = 630 and 1800 GeV

The D0 Collaboration, B. Abbott

Using the D0 detector, we have studied events produced in proton-antiproton collisions that contain large forward regions with very little energy deposition (``rapidity gaps'') and…

Target-Space Duality in Heterotic and Type I Effective Lagrangians

Zygmunt Lalak, Stéphane Lavignac, Hans Peter Nilles

We study the implications of target-space duality symmetries for low-energy effective actions of various four-dimensional string theories. In the heterotic case such symmetries can…

Dipole moments of the Electron, Neutrino and Neutron in the MSSM without R-parity Symmetry

S. A. Abel, A. Dedes, H. K. Dreiner

We show that in the MSSM without R-parity symmetry there are no new contributions to electron and neutron electric dipole moments (EDMs) at 1-loop induced by the R-parity violating…

Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters in Clusters of Massive Stars

Felix I. Mirabel, Yael Fuchs, and Sylvain Chaty

Infrared observations of the environment of the two Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters (SGRs) with the best known locations on the sky show that they are associated to clusters of massive st…

Cosmic Statistics of Statistics

I. Szapudi, S. Colombi, F. Bernardeau

The errors on statistics measured in finite galaxy catalogs are exhaustively investigated. The theory of errors on factorial moments by Szapudi & Colombi (1996) is applied to cumul…

Smoke in the "Smoke Rings": ISO Observations of Dust in Collisional Ring Galaxies

P. N. Appleton, V. Charmandaris, C. Horellou +2

Collisional ring galaxies probably result from a head-on collision between a compact companion galaxy and a gas-rich disk system. We present a review of the discovery of warm dust…

The Isolated Photon Cross Section in p pbar Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV

D0 Collaboration, B. Abbott

We report a new measurement of the cross section for the production of isolated photons, with transverse energies (ET) above 10 GeV and pseudorapidities |eta| < 2.5, in p pbar coll…

The ratio of proton's electric to magnetic form factors measured by polarization transfer

The Jefferson Lab Hall A Collaboration, M. K. Jones

The ratio of the proton's elastic electromagnetic form factors was obtained by measuring the transverse and longitudinal polarizations of recoiling protons from the elastic scatter…

The Robustness of Quintessence

Philippe Brax, Jerome Martin

Recent observations seem to suggest that our Universe is accelerating implying that it is dominated by a fluid whose equation of state is negative. Quintessence is a possible expla…

A Measurement of the W to tau+nu Production Cross Section in p-pbar Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV

D0 Collaboration, B. Abbott

We report on a measurement of sigma(p-pbar to W+X) times B(W to tau+nu) in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. The measurement is based on an integrate…

Limits on Anomalous WWgamma and WWZ Couplings from WW/WZ->enujj Production

D0 collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Abolins

Limits on anomalous WWgamma and WWZ couplings are presented from a study of WW/WZ->enujj events in ppbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV. Results from the analysis of data collected…

Probing BFKL Dynamics in the Dijet Cross Section at Large Rapidity Intervals in ppbar Collisions at sqrt{s}=1800 and 630 GeV

D0 Collaboration, B. Abbott

Inclusive dijet production at large pseudorapidity intervals (delta_eta) between the two jets has been suggested as a regime for observing BFKL dynamics. We have measured the dijet…

Limits on Quark Compositeness from High Energy Jets in PbarP Collisions at 1.8 TeV

D0 collaboration, B. Abbott

Events in PbarP collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV with total transverse energy exceeding 500 GeV are used to set limits on quark substructure. The data are consistent with next-to-lead…

Conformal field theory and edge excitations for the principal series of quantum Hall fluids

V. Pasquier, D. Serban

Motivated by recent experimental results, we reconsider the theory of the edge excitations for the fractional Hall effect at filling factors . We propose to modify the…
