Recently developed analytic approximation for the equation of state of fully ionized nonideal electron-ion plasma mixtures [A. Y. Potekhin, G. Chabrier, and F. J. Rogers, Phys. Rev. E 79, 016411 (2009)], which covers the transition between the weak and strong Coulomb coupling regimes and reproduces numerical results obtained in the hypernetted-chain (HNC) approximation, is modified in order to ...

In this paper we study mixing properties of one-dimensional linear cellular automata over the ring Zm, a particular class of dynamical systems, determined by right (left) permutative local rule F with respect to the uniform Markov measure induced by doubly stochastic matrix P = p(i,j) and the probability vector π. We prove that one-dimensional linear cellular automata associated to right (resp....

We present a phenomenological analysis of the strong couplings of the negative-parity L = 1 baryons from the perspective of the large-N c expansion. In the large-N c limit the mass spectrum and mixing pattern of these states are constrained in a very speciic way. The mixing angles are completely determined in this limit, with predictions in good agreement with experiment. In the combined large-...

After the discovery by Tevatron of B s − Bs-oscillations D and D remains the last flavor neutral meson system with unobserved mixing. Neutral meson mixing is characterized by parameters x = ∆M/Γ and y = ∆Γ/2Γ, where ∆M and ∆Γ are the mass and width difference between the two CP eigenstates. The SM box diagram in D ↔ D transitions is strongly GIM and CKM suppressed. However, D mixing can be enha...

It is shown that the Coulomb energy U of fully ionized ionic mixture can be written as a sum over partial contributions of ion species j: U = T ∑ j Nju(Γj , yj) (generalized linear mixing rule). In contrast to the traditional linear mixing rule ULM = T ∑ j NjuOCP(Γj), applicable for strong coupling, the partial contribution function u depends not only on Γj , but on an additional parameter yj =...

This study presents a novel acoustic mixer comprising of a microfabricated silicon nitride membrane with a hole etched through it. We show that the introduction of the through hole leads to extremely fast and homogeneous mixing. When the membrane is immersed in fluid and subjected to acoustic excitation, a strong streaming field in the form of vortices is generated. The vortices are always obse...

V.A. Rohlin asked in 1949 whether 2-fold mixing implies 3-fold mixing for a stationary process (ξi)i∈Z, and the question remains open today. In 1978, F. Ledrappier exhibited a counterexample to the 2-fold mixing implies 3-fold mixing problem, the so-called 3-dot system, but in the context of stationary random fields indexed by Z2. In this work, we first present an attempt to adapt Ledrappier’s ...

An experimental study on the mixing of two plane, unventilated, parallel jets reveals an instability characterized by sinuous ‘‘flapping’’ of the jets and enhanced mixing of the jets with the ambient fluid. The frequency and amplitude of the instability is shown to be a function of the jets’ spacing and momentum flux ratios, with the maximum mixing occurring for cases with matched momentum flux...

We prove Gibbs distribution of two-state spin systems(also known as binary Markov random fields) without hard constrains on a tree exhibits strong spatial mixing(also known as strong correlation decay), under the assumption that, for arbitrary ‘external field’, the absolute value of ‘inverse temperature’ is small, or the ‘external field’ is uniformly large or small. The first condition on ‘inve...

We propose a set of measurements at a charm factory to determine the D– D 0 mixing parameters ∆M and ∆Γ and the strong phase difference δ between doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed (DCS) and Cabibbo-favored (CF) neutral D decays into Kπ. The method can also be used to measure strong phase differences between other corresponding DCS and CF amplitudes. These phase differences are important for studies of ...
