I discuss the relation between the nuclear response and the Green function describing the propagation of a nucleon in the nuclear medium. Within this formalism, the widely used expressions in terms of spectral functions can be derived in a consistent and rigorous fashion. The results of recent applications to the study of the inclusive electron-nucleus cross section in the impulse approximation...

The rapid increase of the e+e− → W+W− cross section in the threshold region provides a method for measuring MW at LEP2. The dependence of the theoretical cross section — including the effects of the finite W width, Coulomb interactions and initial state radiation — on the collider energy and on the mass and width of theW is investigated in order to deduce the optimal collider energy which maxim...

Using high statistics samples of charged current interactions, MiniBooNE reports a model independent measurement of the single charged pion production to quasi-elastic cross section ratio on mineral oil without corrections for pion re-interactions in the target nucleus [1]. The result is provided as a function of neutrino energy in the range 0.4 GeV < E < 2.4 GeV with 11% precision in the regio...

The production rate for top quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron is presented using the exact order α 3 s corrected cross section and the resummation of the leading soft gluon corrections in all orders of perturbation theory.

The unprecedented integrated luminosity of the KEKB electron-positron collider enables the study of rare particle production processes and the high statistics analysis of particle properties in hithereto inaccesable detail. Three such analyses by the Belle collaboration examplary for the opportunities opening up at the B-factories will be described in this article : The Measurement of cross sec...

Using 3.07 pb of data collected in the energy range 0.60–0.97 GeV by CMD-2, about 150 events of the process ee → ππππ have been selected. The energy dependence of the cross section agrees with the assumption of the a1(1260)π intermediate state which is dominant above 1 GeV. For the first time ππππ events are observed at the ρ meson energy. Under the assumption that all these events come from th...

the one photon absorption (opa) cross section of a current carrying two-orbital quantum dot (qd) with strong electron-phonon interaction (polaron regime) is considered. using the self-consistent non-equilibrium hartree-fock (hf) approximation, we determine the dependence of opa cross section on the applied bias voltage, the strength of effective electron-electron interaction, and level spacing ...

the radar cross section of a target plays an important role in the detection of targets by radars‎. ‎this paper presents a new method to predict the bistatic and monostatic rcs of coated electrically large objects. ‎the bodies can be covered by lossy electric and/or magnetic radar absorbing materials (rams)‎. ‎these materials can be approximated by the fresnel reflection coefficients‎. ‎the pro...

crack identification is a very important issue in mechanical systems, because it is a damage that if develops may cause catastrophic failure. in the first part of this research, modal analysis of a multi-cracked variable cross-section beam is done using finite element method. then, the obtained results are validated usingthe results of experimental modal analysis tests. in the next part, a nove...
