A bstract Feebly interacting thermal relics are promising dark matter candidates. Among them, scenarios of inelastic Dark Matter evade direct detection by suppressed elastic scattering off atomic nuclei. We introduce Dirac , a new model with two fermions in the MeV-GeV mass range. At feeble couplings, can depart from chemical as well kinetic equilibrium Standard Model before freeze-out. In this...

Continued reduction in characteristic dimensions in nanosystems has given rise to increasing importance of material interfaces on the overall system performance. With regard to thermal transport, this increases the need for a better fundamental understanding of the processes affecting interfacial thermal transport, as characterized by the thermal boundary conductance. When thermal boundary cond...

Many observations suggest that much of the matter of the universe is nonbaryonic. Recently, the DAMA NaI dark matter direct detection experiment reported an annual modulation in their event rate consistent with a WIMP relic. However, the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) Ge experiment excludes most of the region preferred by DAMA. We demonstrate that if the dark matter can only scatter by mak...

New results from inelastic two-body scattering reactions are reviewed. Although predictions of SU(3), factorization and simple Regge theory are found to be qualitatively in agreement with the data, direct channel or absorption effects afford the simplest interpretation of the detailed features of the scattering amplitudes.

Recent deep inelastic results from the H1 collaboration are presented. The topics covered include inclusive diffractive physics, the determination of αS using the event shapes, the study of the hadronic final state at low x with single particles and with jets, the structure function measurements in particular F p 2 at low Q and the high Q physics both in neutral and charged current.

high spin states in the neutron rich nucleus 191os has been populated for the first time using the82se+192os deep-inelastic reaction at 460 mev beam energy using the alpi accelerators at the laboratorynazionali di legnaro, italy. high fold γ-γ coincidences were acquired with the 4π spectrometer gaspdetector array, consisting of 40 compton-suppressed, large-volume germanium detectors with an inn...
