Sources and sinks separating domains of left- and right-traveling waves: Experiment versus amplitude equations
Roberto Alvarez, Martin van Hecke, Wim van Saarloos
In many pattern forming systems that exhibit traveling waves, sources and sinks occur which separate patches of oppositely traveling waves. We show that simple qualitative features…
Random-Matrix Theory of Quantum Transport
C. W. J. Beenakker
This is a comprehensive review of the random-matrix approach to the theory of phase-coherent conduction in mesocopic systems. The theory is applied to a variety of physical phenome…
Charm electroproduction viewed in the variable-flavour number scheme versus fixed-order perturbation theory
M. Buza, Y. Matiounine, J. Smith +1
Starting from fixed-order perturbation theory (FOPT) we derive expressions for the heavy-flavour components of the deep-inelastic structure functions FL and F2 in the variable-flav…
Order Parameter and Scaling Fields in Self-Organized Criticality
Alessandro Vespignani, Stefano Zapperi
We present a unified dynamical mean-field theory for stochastic self-organized critical models. We use a single site approximation and we include the details of different models by…
First-Order Transition in the Breakdown of Disordered Media
Stefano Zapperi, Purusattam Ray, H. Eugene Stanley +1
We study the approach to global breakdown in disordered media driven by increasing external forces. We first analyze the problem by mean-field theory, showing that the failure proc…
The fermion-loop scheme for finite-width effects in e^+ e^- annihilation into four fermions
W. Beenakker, A. Denner, S. Dittmaier +5
We describe the gauge-invariant treatment of the finite-width effects of W and Z bosons in the fermion-loop scheme and its application to the six-fermion (LEP2) processes e^- e^+ -…
