Spin-Lattice Relaxation in Si Quantum Dots

B. A. Glavin, K. W. Kim

We consider spin-lattice relaxation processes for electrons trapped in lateral Si quantum dots in a inversion layer. Such dots are characterized by strong confinement in th…

Stability of Standing Accretion Shocks, With an Eye Toward Core Collapse Supernovae

John M. Blondin, Anthony Mezzacappa, Christine DeMarino

We examine the stability of standing, spherical accretion shocks. Accretion shocks arise in core collapse supernovae (the focus of this paper), star formation, and accreting white…

What Can Be Learned with a Lead-Based Supernova-Neutrino Detector?

J. Engel, G. C. McLaughlin, C. Volpe

We examine the prospects for using lead as a supernova-neutrino detector by considering the spectrum of electrons produced, and the number of one- and two-neutron events. We show t…

QCD based quark description of pi-pi scattering up to the sigma and rho region

Stephen R. Cotanch, Pieter Maris

We study forward and backward pi-pi scattering within a QCD model based on the Dyson--Schwinger, Bethe--Salpeter equations truncated to the rainbow-ladder level. Our microscopic re…

BBN And CMB Constraints On Dark Energy

James P. Kneller, Gary Steigman

Current observational data favor cosmological models which differ from the standard model due to the presence of some form of dark energy and, perhaps, by additional contributions…

Meson elastic and transition form factors

Pieter Maris

The Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD, truncated to ladder-rainbow level, are used to calculate meson form factors in impulse approximation. The infrared strength of the ladder-rain…

Zone methods and the fermion sign problem

Dean Lee

We review a recently proposed approach to the problem of alternating signs for fermionic many body Monte Carlo simulations in finite temperature simulations. We derive an estimate…

Facets of confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking

P. Maris, A. Raya, C. D. Roberts +1

The gap equation is a cornerstone in understanding dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and may also provide clues to confinement. A symmetry-preserving truncation of its kernel enab…

Strong Decays of Light Vector Mesons

D. Jarecke, P. Maris, P. C. Tandy

The vector meson strong decays rho-->pi pi, phi-->KK, and K^star-->pi K are studied within a covariant approach based on the ladder-rainbow truncation of the QCD Dyson--Schwinger e…

X-Ray Synchrotron Emitting Fe-Rich Ejecta in SNR RCW 86

Jeonghee Rho, Kristy K. Dyer, Kazimierz J. Borkowski +1

Supernova remnants may exhibit both thermal and nonthermal X-ray emission. We present Chandra observations of RCW 86. Striking differences in the morphology of X-rays below 1 keV a…

Probing Proton Strangeness with Time-Like Virtual Compton Scattering

Stephen R. Cotanch, Robert A. Williams

We document that p(gamma,e+e-)p measurements will yield new, important information about the off-shell time-like nucleon form factors, especially in the phi meson region (q^2 = M^2…

Delayed Nickel Decay in Gamma Ray Bursts

G. C. McLaughlin, R. A. M. J. Wijers

Recently observed emission lines in the X-ray afterglow of gamma ray bursts suggest that iron group elements are either produced in the gamma ray burst, or are present nearby. If t…

Production of UCN by Downscattering in superfluid He4

E. Korobkina, R. Golub, B. W. Wehring +1

Ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) are neutrons with energies so low they can be stored in material bottles and magnetic traps. They have been used to provide the currently most accurate ex…

Off-Axis Neutrino Scattering in GRB Central Engines

Nathan D. George, Arkady Kheyfets, John M. McGhee +1

The search for an understanding of an energy source great enough to explain the gamma-ray burst (GRB) phenomena has attracted much attention from the astrophysical community since…
