Rheology of Soft Glassy Materials

Peter Sollich, Francois Lequeux, Pascal Hebraud +1

We attribute similarities in the rheology of many soft materials (foams, emulsions, slurries, etc.) to the shared features of structural disorder and metastability. A generic model…

A Framework for Natural Language Interfaces to Temporal Databases

I. Androutsopoulos, G. D. Ritchie, P. Thanisch

Over the past thirty years, there has been considerable progress in the design of natural language interfaces to databases. Most of this work has concerned snapshot databases, in w…

Hybrid mesons from quenched QCD

P. Lacock, C. Michael, P. Boyle +1

We use lattice methods to evaluate from first principles the spectrum of hybrid mesons produced by gluonic excitations in quenched QCD with quark masses near the strange quark mass…

Azimuthal Dependence of Forward-Jet Production in DIS in the High-Energy Limit

J. Bartels, V. Del Duca, M. Wusthoff

As a signal for the BFKL Pomeron in small-x deep inelastic scattering, we calculate the azimuthal dependence of the inclusive cross section of forward jets relative to the out…

A Monopole Metric

Harry Braden, Paul Sutcliffe

We calculate explicitly in terms of complete elliptic integrals the metric on the moduli space of tetrahedrally-symmetric, charge four, SU(2) monopoles. Using this we verify that i…

Internal Dynamics of Globular Clusters

G. Meylan, D. C. Heggie

Galactic globular clusters, which are ancient building blocks of our Galaxy, represent a very interesting family of stellar systems in which some fundamental dynamical processes ha…

Double Asymptotic Scaling '96

Stefano Forte, Richard D. Ball

We review recent HERA data on the structure function F_2 at small x and large Q^2. We show that the salient features of the data are revealed by comparing them to the double asympt…

Localisation Transition of A Dynamic Reaction Front

M. J. E. Richardson, M. R. Evans

We study the reaction-diffusion process with injection of each species at opposite boundaries of a one-dimensional lattice and bulk driving of each species in op…

A Principled Framework for Constructing Natural Language Interfaces To Temporal Databases

Ion Androutsopoulos

Most existing natural language interfaces to databases (NLIDBs) were designed to be used with ``snapshot'' database systems, that provide very limited facilities for manipulating t…

Evolution of the Ionizing Background at High Redshifts

Andrew Cooke, Brian Espey, Bob Carswell

We use a Maximum-Likelihood analysis to constrain the value and evolution of the ionizing background for 2<z<4.5, taking account of possible systematic errors. (The paper has a mor…

The Morphology of Type Ia Supernovae Light Curves

Mario Hamuy, M. M. Phillips, Nicholas B. Suntzeff +5

We present a family of six BVI template light curves for SNe Ia for days -5 and +80, based on high-quality data gathered at CTIO. These templates display a wide range of light curv…

Power correlations in cosmology: limits on primordial non-Gaussian density fields

A. J. Stirling, J. A. Peacock

We probe the statistical nature of the primordial density field by measuring correlations between the power in adjacent Fourier modes. For certain types of non-Gaussian field, thes…

Quenched Light Hadron Spectrum and Decay Constants using Improved Wilson Fermion Actions

UKQCD Collaboration, presented by Richard Kenway

We compare results obtained using the Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (SW) fermion action with tree-level and tadpole-improved coefficients for .

Resummed heavy quark production cross sections to next-to-leading logarithm

N. Kidonakis, J. Smith, R. Vogt

We study how next-to-leading logarithms modify predictions from leading logarithmic soft-gluon resummation in the heavy quark production cross section near threshold. Numerical res…

The effect of tree-level and mean-field improvement on the light-hadron spectrum in quenched QCD

UKQCD Collaboration, H. P. Shanahan, C. T. H. Davies +10

We compute the light hadron mass spectrum at beta=5.7 using the O(a) improved Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (SW) fermion action with two choices of the clover coefficient: the classical v…

Magnetic correlations in deuteronium jarosite, a model S=5/2 Kagome antiferromagnet

A. S. Wills, A Harrison, S. A. M. Mentink +2

Deuteronium jarosite, (D_3O)Fe_3(SO_4)_2(OD)_6, contains a kagome lattice of Heisenberg spins, S=5/2, with a coverage of 97+-1%. DC and AC susceptibility measurements show strong i…

Soft Covariant Gauges on the Lattice

D. S. Henty, O. Oliveira, C. Parrinello +1

We present an exploratory study of a one-parameter family of covariant, non-perturbative lattice gauge-fixing conditions, that can be implemented through a simple Monte Carlo algor…

Stress Propagation and Arching in Static Sandpiles

J. P. Wittmer, M. E. Cates, P. Claudin

We present a new approach to the modelling of stress propagation in static granular media, focussing on the conical sandpile constructed from a point source. We view the medium as…

Orbitally excited and hybrid mesons from the lattice

P. Lacock, C. Michael, P. Boyle +1

We discuss in general the construction of gauge-invariant non-local meson operators on the lattice. We use such operators to study the - and -wave mesons as well as hybrid me…

Bose-Einstein Condensation In Disordered Exclusion Models and Relation to Traffic Flow

M. R. Evans

A disordered version of the one dimensional asymmetric exclusion model where the particle hopping rates are quenched random variables is studied. The steady state is solved exactly…

Measuring the cosmological constant with redshift surveys

W. E. Ballinger, J. A. Peacock, A. F. Heavens

It has been proposed that the cosmological constant might be measured from geometric effects on large-scale structure. A positive vacuum density leads to correlation-function c…

Alpha_s from the non-perturbatively renormalised lattice three-gluon vertex

B. Alles, D. S. Henty, H. Panagopoulos +3

We compute the running QCD coupling on the lattice by evaluating two-point and three-point off-shell gluon Green's functions in a fixed gauge and imposing non-perturbative renormal…

L. Pryor, G. Collins

A fundamental assumption made by classical AI planners is that there is no uncertainty in the world: the planner has full knowledge of the conditions under which the plan will be e…
