Parametric Level Correlations in Random-Matrix Models

Hans A. Weidenmueller

We show that parametric level correlations in random-matrix theories are closely related to a breaking of the symmetry between the advanced and the retarded Green's functions. The…

Significance in gamma-ray astronomy - the Li & Ma problem in Bayesian statistics

S. Gillessen, H. L. Harney

The significance of having detected an astrophysical gamma ray source is usually calculated by means of a formula derived by Li & Ma in 1983. We solve the same problem in terms of…

Electromagnetic radiation initiated by hadronic jets from microquasars in the ISM

V. Bosch-Ramon, F. A. Aharonian, J. M. Paredes

Microquasars are potential candidates to produce a non-negligible fraction of the observed galactic cosmic rays. The protons accelerated at the jet termination shock interact with…

A comparative study of the spatial distribution of ultraviolet and far-infrared fluxes from M 101

C. C. Popescu, R. J. Tuffs, B. F. Madore +23

The total ultraviolet (UV) flux (from 1412 to 2718 AA) of M 101 is compared on a pixel-to-pixel basis with the total far-infrared (FIR) flux (from 60 to 170 micron), using the maps…

Cosmogenic 11C production and sensitivity of organic scintillator detectors to pep and CNO neutrinos

C. Galbiati, A. Pocar, D. Franco +3

Several possible background sources determine the detectability of pep and CNO solar neutrinos in organic liquid scintillator detectors. Among such sources, the cosmogenic 11C nucl…

Nonrelativistic QED approach to the bound-electron g factor

K. Pachucki, U. D. Jentschura, V. A. Yerokhin

Within a systematic approach based on nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics (NRQED), we derive the one-loop self-energy correction of order alpha (Zalpha)^4 to the bound-electron…

A low upper-limit on the lithium isotope ratio in HD140283

Wako Aoki, Susumu Inoue, Satoshi Kawanomoto +4

We have obtained a high-S/N (900-1100), high-resolving-power (R=95000) spectrum of the metal-poor subgiant HD 140283 in an effort to measure its 6Li/7Li isotope ratio. From a 1-D a…

Two-Loop Bethe Logarithms for Higher Excited S Levels

Ulrich D. Jentschura

Processes mediated by two virtual low-energy photons contribute quite significantly to the energy of hydrogenic S states. The corresponding level shift is of the order of (alpha/pi…

PCAC and Shadowing of Low Energy Neutrinos

B. Z. Kopeliovich

The Adler relation between reactions initiated by neutrinos and pions is easy to misinterpret as a manifestation of the pion pole dominance. An axial current, however, cannot fluct…
