Small object limit of Casimir effect and the sign of the Casimir force
O. Kenneth, S. Nussinov
We show a simple way of deriving the Casimir Polder interaction, present some general arguments on the finiteness and sign of mutual Casimir interactions and finally we derive a si…
Quantum fluctuations of Wilson loops from string models
Y. Kinar, E. Schreiber, J. Sonnenschein +1
We discuss the impact of quadratic quantum fluctuations on the Wilson loop extracted from classical string theory. We show that a large class of models, which includes the near hor…
Supernova rates in Abell galaxy clusters and implications for metallicity
Avishay Gal-Yam, Dan Maoz
Supernovae (SNe) play a critical role in the metal enrichment of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters. Not only are SNe the main source for metals, but they may also s…
FAUST Observations in the Fourth Galactic Quadrant
N. Brosch, A. Brook, L. Wisotzki +4
We analyze UV observations with FAUST of four sky fields in the general direction of the fourth Galactic quadrant, in which we detect 777 UV sources. This is ~50% more than detecte…
The ZEUS Forward Plug Calorimeter with Lead-Scintillator Plates and WLS Fiber Readout
A. Bamberger, S. Böttcher, I. Bohnet +31
A Forward Plug Calorimeter (FPC) for the ZEUS detector at HERA has been built as a shashlik lead-scintillator calorimeter with wave length shifter fiber readout. Before installatio…
