Hard and soft walls

Soft Walls

Silica nanotubes with mesoporous walls and various internal morphologies using hard/soft dual templates.

Silica nanotubes with mesoporous walls of 30 nm thickness and various internal morphologies are produced using hard/soft dual templates; this hierarchical pore structure shows faster mass transportation in catalysis.

Soft and Hard Qcd *

I review various theoretical questions that arise from data from HERA and the Tevatron, and which are relevant for the LHC. They range from soft physics, such as the total cross section, to hard physics, such as Higgs production. In particular, I argue that the proton's gluon density is somewhat larger at small x than is currently accepted.

Soft and hard pomerons

Regge theory provides an excellent description of small-x structurefunction data from Q = 0 up to the highest available values. The large-Q data should also be described by perturbative QCD: the two descriptions must agree in the region where they overlap. However, at present there is a serious lack in our understanding of how to apply perturbative QCD at small x. The usual lowestorder or next-...

Density and Polarization Profiles of Dipolar Hard Ellipsoids Confined between Hard Walls: A Density Functional Theory Approach

The density and polarization profiles of the dipolar hard ellipsoids confined between hard walls are studied using the density functional theory (DFT). The Hyper-Netted Chain (HNC) approximation is used to write excess grand potential of the system with respect to the bulk value. The number density is expanded up to zero and first order in polarization to find the results. For the zero order in...
