Comments on Cosmological Singularities in String Theory

Micha Berkooz, Ben Craps, David Kutasov +1

We compute string scattering amplitudes in an orbifold of Minkowski space by a boost, and show how certain divergences in the four point function are associated with graviton excha…

Quantum noise in current biased Josephson junction

Y. Levinson

Quantum fluctuations in a current biased Josephson junction, described in terms of the RCSJ-model, are considered. The fluctuations of the voltage and phase across the junction are…

Dynamical stabilization of classical multi electron targets against autoionization

Tihamer Geyer, Jan M Rost

We demonstrate that a recently published quasiclassical M\oller type approach [Geyer and Rost 2002, J. Phys. B 35 1479] can be used to overcome the problem of autoionization, which…

Stability of an Ultra-Relativistic Blast Wave in an External Medium with a Steep Power-Law Density Profile

Xiaohu Wang, Abraham Loeb, Eli Waxman

We examine the stability of self-similar solutions for an accelerating relativistic blast wave which is generated by a point explosion in an external medium with a steep radial den…

A mapping approach to synchronization in the "Zajfman trap": stability conditions and the synchronization mechanism

Tihamer Geyer, David J. Tannor

We present a two particle model to explain the mechanism that stabilizes a bunch of positively charged ions in an "ion trap resonator" [Pedersen etal, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 (2001) 05…

Observation of the strange sea in the proton via inclusive Phi-meson production in neutral current deep inelastic scattering at HERA

ZEUS Collaboration

Inclusive phi-meson production in neutral current deep inelastic e+p scattering has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 45 pb^{-1}. The p…

Scaling exponent of the maximum growth probability in diffusion-limited aggregation

Mogens H. Jensen, Joachim Mathiesen, Itamar Procaccia

An early (and influential) scaling relation in the multifractal theory of Diffusion Limited Aggregation(DLA) is the Turkevich-Scher conjecture that relates the exponent α_{min} tha…

Echo spectroscopy and Atom Optics Billiards

M. F. Andersen, A. Kaplan, T. Grünzweig +1

We discuss a recently demonstrated type of microwave spectroscopy of trapped ultra-cold atoms known as "echo spectroscopy" [M.F. Andersen et. al., Phys. Rev. Lett., in press (2002)…

Avoided intersections of nodal lines

Alejandro G. Monastra, Uzy Smilansky, Sven Gnutzmann

We consider real eigen-functions of the Schrödinger operator in 2-d. The nodal lines of separable systems form a regular grid, and the number of nodal crossings equals the number o…

Traveling Salesmen in the Presence of Competition

Sandor P. Fekete, Rudolf Fleischer, Aviezri Fraenkel +1

We propose the ``Competing Salesmen Problem'' (CSP), a 2-player competitive version of the classical Traveling Salesman Problem. This problem arises when considering two competing…

Time-Dependent Random Walks and the Theory of Complex Adaptive Systems

Shahar Hod

Motivated by novel results in the theory of complex adaptive systems, we analyze the dynamics of random walks in which the jumping probabilities are {\it time-dependent}. We determ…

Shot-noise in transport and beam experiments

U. Gavish, Y. Levinson, Y. Imry

Consider two Fermi gases with the same {\it average} currents: a transport gas, as in solid-state experiments where the chemical potentials of terminal 1 is and of terminal…

Quantum description of classical apparatus: Zeno effect and decoherence

S. A. Gurvitz

We study the measurement process by treating classical detectors entirely quantum mechanically. As a generic model we use a point-contact detector coupled to an electron in a quant…
