The influence of nuclear effects on the transverse momentum (pT ) distributions of neutrinoproduced hadrons is investigated using the data obtained with SKAT propanefreon bubble chamber irradiated in the neutrino beam (with Eν = 3-30 GeV) at Serpukhov accelerator. Dependences of < p2T > on the kinematical variables of inclusive deep-inelastic scattering and of the produced hadrons are measured....

Contrary to the traditional view, seismic attenuation in Biot's theory of uid-saturated porous media is due to viscous damping of local (not global) pore-uid motion. Since substantial inhomogeneities in uid permeability of porous geological materials are to be expected, the regions of highest local permeability contribute most to the wave energy dissipation while those of lowest permeability do...

The perturbative QCD predictions concerning deep inelastic scattering at low x are summarized. The theoretical framework based on the leading log 1/x resumma-tion and k t factorization theorem is described. The role of studying final states in deep inelastic scattering for revealing the details of the underlying dynamics at low x is emphasised and some dedicated measurements, like deep inelasti...

We present three measurements of the top-quark mass in the lepton plus jets channel with approximately 1:9 fb À1 of integrated luminosity collected with the CDF II detector using quantities with minimal dependence on the jet energy scale. One measurement exploits the transverse decay length of b-tagged jets to determine a top-quark mass of 166:9 þ9:5 À8:5 ðstatÞ AE 2:9ðsystÞ GeV=c 2 , and anoth...

Within the mSUGRA model, the observability of the decay of the next to lightest neutralino χ̃2 into leptons and the lightest neutralino χ̃ 0 1 has been studied using a full simulation of the CMS detector. The final state signature consists of two opposite sign leptons, several hard jets and missing transverse energy. The expected precision of the measurement of the dilepton mass edge is reported ...

We study, both experimentally and theoretically, the process of second-harmonic generation by two noncollinear beams in ferroelectric crystals with a disordered distribution of ferroelectric domains. We show that this parametric process results in generation of second-harmonic wave in the direction transverse to the propagation of the fundamental beam. We demonstrate how this effect can be used...

The potential energy depends on how stretched the string is. Of course, having a string with some tension T automatically has some potential energy due to the stretching, even if there are no waves passing through the string. We are instead interested in the potential energy stored in the string as it is stretched further, due to the propagation of transverse waves. For simplicity, we use poten...

Recent experiments on particle diffusion in bacterial baths indicate the formation of correlated structures in the form of bacterial swirls. Here we predict that such a structural ordering would give rise to the new effect of propagating shear waves in a bacterial bath at length scales of the order of a swirl, which corresponds to time scales of the order of the lifetime of a swirl. Our predict...

A nonuniform crack growth problem is considered for a homogeneous isotropic elastic medium subjected to the action of remote oscillatory and static loads. In the case of a plane problem, the former results in Rayleigh waves propagating toward the crack tip. For the antiplane problem the shear waves play a similar role. Under the considered conditions the crack cannot move uniformly, and if the ...

The mean transverse momentum in high energy nuclear collisions is studied. The formation of a Color Glass Condensate results in an increase of the square of the mean transverse momentum with the charged multiplicity per unit rapidity and unit transverse area. This prediction is in agreement with the presently available data, in particular with the heavy-ion data, lending support to the notion t...
