A probabilistic and information theoretic interpretation of quantum evolutions

J. Oppenheim, B. Reznik

In quantum mechanics, outcomes of measurements on a state have a probabilistic interpretation while the evolution of the state is treated deterministically. Here we show that one c…

W Boson Polarisation at LEP2

The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi

Elements of the spin density matrix for W bosons in e+e- -> W+W- -> qqln events are measured from data recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP. This information is used calculate pola…

Magnetic polarons and magnetoresistance in EuB6

M. J. Calderon, L. G. L. Wegener, P. B. Littlewood

EuB6 is a low carrier density ferromagnet which exhibits large magnetoresistance, positive or negative depending on temperature. The formation of magnetic polarons just above the m…

Regularization of the linearized gravitational self-force for branes

R. A. Battye, B. Carter, A. Mennim

We discuss the linearized, gravitational self-interaction of a brane of arbitrary codimension in a spacetime of arbitrary dimension. We find that in the codimension two case the gr…

Flavour independent search for Higgs bosons decaying into hadronic final states in e+e- collisions

The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi

A search for the Higgsstrahlung process e+e- -> hZ is described, where the neutral Higgs boson h is assumed to decay into hadronic final states. In order to be sensitive to a broad…

Stress in planar cellular solids and isostatic granular assemblies: Coarse-graining the constitutive equation

Raphael Blumenfeld

A recent theory for stress transmission in isostatic granular and cellular systems predicts a constitutive equation that couples the stress field to the local microstructure. The t…
