چکیده
The energy spectra of ultra high energy cosmic rays reported by the AGASA, Fly’s Eye, Haverah Park, HiRes, and Yakutsk experiments are all shown to be in agreement with each other for energies below 10 eV(after small adjustments, within the known uncertainties, of the absolute energy scales). The data from HiRes, Fly’s Eye, and Yakutsk are consistent with the expected flux suppression above 5×10 eV due to interactions of cosmic rays with the cosmic microwave background, the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) ”cutoff,” and are inconsistent with a smooth extrapolation of the observed cosmic ray energy spectrum to energies > 5×10 eV. AGASA data show an excess of events above 10 eV, compared to the predicted GZK suppression and to the flux measured by the other experiments.

The leading contribution of the light-by-light scattering effects to g-factor of a bound electron is derived. The corresponding amplitude is expressed in terms of low-energy Delbrück scattering of a virtual photon. The result reads ∆g = (7/216)α(Zα)5 .

We discuss results from lattice calculations for a few observables that are sensitive to different length scales in the high temperature phase of QCD and can give insight into its non-perturbative structure. We compare lattice results with perturbative calculations at high temperature obtained for vanishing and non-vanishing quark chemical potential.
