Kinetic Theory Of Random Graphs: From Paths To Cycles, E. Ben-Naim, P.L. Krapivsky Dec 2005

Kinetic Theory Of Random Graphs: From Paths To Cycles, E. Ben-Naim, P.L. Krapivsky

Eli Ben-Naim

Structural properties of evolving random graphs are investigated. Treating linking as a dynamic aggregation process, rate equations for the distribution of node to node distances (paths) and of cycles are formulated and solved analytically. At the gelation point, the typical length of paths and cycles, l, scales with the component size k as l ~ k^{1/2}. Dynamic and finite-size scaling laws for the behavior at and near the gelation point are obtained. Finite-size scaling laws are verified using numerical simulations.

Crossover From Kramers To Phase-Diffusion Switching In Moderately Damped Josephson Junctions, Jaan Männik, S. Li, W. Qiu, W. Chen, V. Patel, S. Han, J. E. Lukens

Jaan Männik

We have measured and propose a model for switching rates in a hysteretic dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) in the regime where phase-diffusion processes start to occur. We show that the switching rates in this regime are smaller than the rates given by Kramers’ formula due to retrapping of the Josephson phase. The retrapping process, which is affected by the frequency dependent impedance of the environment of the dc SQUID, leads to a peaked second moment of the switching distribution as a function of temperature. The temperatures where the peaks occur are proportional to the critical current of the …

Vibrational Dependence Of The H2–H2 C6 Coefficients, Robert Hinde Jan 2005

Vibrational Dependence Of The H2–H2 C6 Coefficients, Robert Hinde

Robert Hinde

We use the sum-over-states formalism to compute the imaginary-frequency dipole polarizabilities for H2, as a function of the H–H bond length, at the full configuration interaction level of theory using atom-centered d-aug-cc-pVQZ basis sets. From these polarizabilities, we obtain isotropic and anisotropic C6 dispersion coefficients for a pair of H2 molecules as functions of the two molecules’ bond lengths.


Measurement Of Cp Asymmetries In B0 --> KS000, B. Aubert, Stefan Spanier Jan 2005

Measurement Of Cp Asymmetries In B0 --> KS0∏0∏0, B. Aubert, Stefan Spanier

stefan spanier

We present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry for the neutral B-meson decay into the CP = +1 final state K0 Sπ0π0, with K0 S → π+π− and π0 → γγ. We use a sample of approximately 227 million B-meson pairs recorded at the Υ(4S) resonance by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-Factory at SLAC. From a maximum likelihood fit we extract the mixing-induced CP-violation parameter SK0 Sπ0π0 = 0.84 ± 0.71 (stat) ± 0.08 (syst) and the direct CP-violation parameter CK0 Sπ0π0 = 0.27 ± 0.52 (stat) ± 0.13 (syst), where the first uncertainty is statistical …

Measurement Of Cp Asymmetries In B0 --> {Eff}K0 And B0 --> K+K-K0S Decays, B. Aubert, Stefan Spanier

stefan spanier

We measure the time-dependent CP asymmetry parameters in B0 --> K+ K- K0 based on a data sample of approximately 227 million B-meson pairs recorded at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B-meson Factory at SLAC. We reconstruct two-body B0 decays to Phi(1020) K0S and Phi(1020)K0L, and the three-body decay K+ K- K0S with Phi(1020) K0S excluded. For the B0 --> Phi K0 decays, we measure sin(2 beta_{eff})(Phi K0) = +0.50 +/- 0.25(stat) +0.07/-0.04(syst). The B0 --> K+ K- K0S decays are dominated by K+ K- S-wave, as determined from an angular analysis; we measure sin(2 …
