A versatile and compact capacitive dilatometer
G. M. Schmiedeshoff, A. W. Lounsbury, D. J. Luna +13
We describe the design, construction, calibration, and operation of a relatively simple differential capacitive dilatometer suitable for measurements of thermal expansion and magne…
Exact topological density in the lattice Skyrme model
Benjamin Svetitsky, Alec Schramm
We propose using the Skyrme model on a lattice as an effective field theory of meson-baryon interactions. To this end we construct a local topological density that involves the vol…
Topology and metastability in the lattice Skyrme model
Alec J. Schramm, Benjamin Svetitsky
We offer the Skyrme model on a lattice as an effective field theory - fully quantized - of baryon-meson interactions at temperatures below the chiral phase transition. We define a…
Glueball Production in Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions
Alec J. Schramm
The method of equivalent quanta is applied both to photon-photon and, by analogy, to double pomeron exchange in heavy-ion collisions. This Weizsäcker-Williams approach is used to c…
Production of eta Mesons in Double Pomeron Exchange
Alec J. Schramm, Daniel H. Reeves
We estimate the production cross sections for and mesons via pomeron-pomeron fusion in peripheral heavy-ion collisions. Total and elastic PP cross sections are calculat…
Production in Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions
Alec J. Schramm, Daniel H. Reeves
We estimate the impact parameter dependence of the production cross section for and mesons in peripheral heavy-ion collisions collisions. Total and elastic cross s…
