Quasistatic behavior and force transmission in packing of irregular polyhedral particles

Émilien Azema, Farhang Radjaï, Gilles Saussine

Dense packings composed of irregular polyhedral particles are investigated by numerical simulations under quasistatic triaxial compression. The Contact Dynamics method is used for…

D-instantons and twistors

Sergei Alexandrov, Boris Pioline, Frank Saueressig +1

Finding the exact, quantum corrected metric on the hypermultiplet moduli space in Type II string compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds is an outstanding open problem. We addre…

Dynamics of a colloid-stabilized cream

E. M. Herzig, A. Robert, D. D. van 't Zand +3

We use x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy to investigate the dynamics of a high volume fraction emulsion creaming under gravity. The dodecane-in-water emulsion has interfaces st…

Fermi LAT Observations of the Vela Pulsar

A. A. Abdo

The Vela pulsar is the brightest persistent source in the GeV sky and thus is the traditional first target for new gamma-ray observatories. We report here on initial Fermi Large Ar…

Surface Loving and Surface Avoiding modes

Nicolas Combe, Jean Roch Huntzinger, Joseph Morillo

We theoretically study the propagation of sound waves in GaAs/AlAs superlattices focussing on periodic modes in the vicinity of the band gaps. Based on analytical and numerical cal…

Very high energy gamma-ray observations of the galaxy clusters Abell 496 and Abell 85 with H.E.S.S

H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian

Aims: The nearby galaxy clusters Abell 496 and Abell 85 are studied in the very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) band to investigate VHE cosmic rays (CRs) in this class of objects wh…
