Gamma-Ray Bursts: the Four Crises

Marco Tavani

We discuss some open problems concerning the origin and the emission mechanism of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in light of recent developments. If GRBs originate at extragalactic distan…

Cosmological Tracking Solutions

Paul J. Steinhardt, Limin Wang, Ivaylo Zlatev

A substantial fraction of the energy density of the universe may consist of quintessence in the form of a slowly-rolling scalar field. Since the energy density of the scalar field…

The Standard Model of Particle Physics

Mary K. Gaillard, Paul D. Grannis, Frank J. Sciulli

Particle physics has evolved a coherent model that characterizes forces and particles at the most elementary level. This Standard Model, built from many theoretical and experimenta…

Measurement of the High-Mass Drell-Yan Cross Section and Limits on Quark-Electron Compositeness Scales

B. Abbott

We present a measurement of the Drell-Yan cross section at high dielectron invariant mass using 120/pb of data collected in pbar-p collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV by the D0 collabo…

Gluon mini-jet production in nuclear collisions at high energies

Xiaofeng Guo

We show explicitly that the leading soft gluon distribution, predicted by Kovner, McLerran, and Weigert after solving classical Yang-Mills equations, can be understood in ter…

Strongly Anisotropic Transport in Higher Two-Dimensional Landau Levels

R. R. Du, D. C. Tsui, H. L. Stormer +3

Low-temperature, electronic transport in Landau levels N>1 of a two-dimensional electron system is strongly anisotropic. At half-filling of either spin level of each such Landau le…

A perfect Morse function on the moduli space of flat connections

Michael Thaddeus

The moduli space of flat SU(2) connections on a punctured surface, having prescribed holonomy around the punctures, is a compact smooth manifold if the prescription is generic. Thi…

Cosmological Signature of New Parity-Violating Interactions

Arthur Lue, Limin Wang, Marc Kamionkowski

Does Nature yield any manifestations of parity violation other than those observed in weak interactions? A map of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization…

Coulomb Final State Interactions for Gaussian Wave Packets

U. A. Wiedemann, D. Ferenc, U. Heinz

Two-particle like-sign and unlike-sign correlations including Coulomb final state interactions are calculated for Gaussian wave packets emitted from a Gaussian source. We show that…

D-branes on Nonabelian Threefold Quotient Singularities

Brian R. Greene, C. I. Lazaroiu, Mark Raugas

We investigate the classical moduli space of D-branes on a nonabelian Calabi-Yau threefold singularity and find that it admits topology-changing transitions. We construct a general…

Quenched QCD with domain wall fermions

P. Chen, N. Christ, G. Fleming +7

We report on simulations of quenched QCD using domain wall fermions, where we focus on basic questions about the formalism and its ability to produce expected low energy hadronic p…

LS Peg: A Low-Inclination SW Sextantis-Type Cataclysmic Binary with High-Velocity Balmer Emission Line Wings

C. J. Taylor, J. R. Thorstensen, J. Patterson

We present time-resolved spectroscopy and photometry of the bright cataclysmic variable LS Peg (= S193). The Balmer lines exhibit broad, asymmetric wings Doppler-shifted by about 2…

The domain wall fermion chiral condensate in quenched QCD

Ping Chen, Norman H. Christ, George R. Fleming +7

We examine the chiral limit of domain wall fermions in quenched QCD. One expects that in a quenched simulation, exact fermion zero modes will give a divergent, 1/m behavior in the…

Bose-Einstein Correlations in a Space-Time Approach to e+ e- Annihilation into Hadrons

K. Geiger, J. Ellis, U. Heinz +1

A new treatment of Bose-Einstein correlations is incorporated in a space-time parton-shower model for e+ e- annihilation into hadrons. Two alternative afterburners are discussed, a…

Recent Results on Neutrino Oscillations

J. M. Conrad

This article reviews the many new results from neutrino oscillation searches which were presented at ICHEP '98. Exciting indications of neutrino oscillations have been seen in the…

Antiproton Production and Antudeuteron Production Limits in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

T. A. Armstrong

We present results from Experiment 864 for antiproton production and antideuteron limits in Au + Pb collisions at 11.5 GeV/c per nucleon. We have measured invariant multiplicities…

Search for High Mass Photon Pairs in p-pbar --> gamma-gamma-jet-jet Events at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV

D0 Collaboration, B. Abbott

A search has been carried out for events in the channel p-barp --> gamma gamma jet jet. Such a signature can characterize the production of a non-standard Higgs boson together with…

Observation of Collective Excitations of the Dilute 2D Electron System

M. A. Eriksson, A. Pinczuk, B. S. Dennis +3

We report inelastic light scattering measurements of dispersive spin and charge density excitations in dilute 2D electron systems reaching densities less than 10^{10} cm^{-2}. In t…

ROSAT HRI Detection of the 16 ms Pulsar PSR J0537-6910 Inside SNR N157B

Q. Daniel Wang, E. V. Gotthelf

Based on a deep ROSAT HRI observation, we have detected a pulsed signal in the 0.1-2 keV band from PSR J0537-6910 --- the recently discovered pulsar associated with the supernova r…

On the Analog Strong CP Problem in the Models

Stuart Samuel

Addressed is the question of whether a natural mechanism exists to resolve the strong CP problem. The analogous issue for the two-dimensional models is analyzed using co…

Photofluid Instabilities of Hot Stellar Envelopes

Edward A. Spiegel, Louis Tao

Beginning from a relatively simple set of dynamical equations for a fluid permeated by a radiative field strong enough to produce significant forces, we find the structure of plane…
