description: We present a multi-wavelength study of comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS). This comet was observed on 23-24 January 2018 with the IRAM 30m telescope, and in January to March 2018 with the Nançay radio telescope. Visible spectroscopy was performed in December 2017 and February 2018 with small amateur telescopes. We report on measurements of CO, CH3OH, H2CO and HCN production rates, and on the determination of the N2/CO abundance ratio. Several other species, especially OH, were searched for but not detected. The inferred relative abundances, including upper limits for sulfur species, are compared to those measured in other comets at about the same heliocentric distance of about 2.8 AU. The coma composition of comet C/2016 R2 is very different from all other comets observed so far, being rich in N2 and CO and dust poor. This suggests that this comet might belong to a very rare group of comets formed beyond the N2 ice line. Alternatively, comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) could be the fragment of a large and differentiated transneptunian object, with properties characteristic of volatile-enriched layers.

description: We calculate the hyperfine structure constant for the Eu isotopes with shell model wave functions. The calculated results are compared with those predicted by the Moskowitz-Lombardi (M-L) empirical formula. It turns out that the two approaches give the very different behaviors of the hfs constants in the isotope dependence. This should be easily measured by experiment, which may lead to the universality check of the M-L formula.

description: Time-based pricing programs for domestic electricity users have been effective in reducing peak demand and facilitating renewables integration. Nevertheless, high cost, price non-responsiveness and adverse selection may create the possible challenges. To overcome these challenges, it can be fruitful to investigate the ‘high-potential’ users, which are more responsive to price changes and apply time-based pricing to these users. Few studies have investigated how to identify which users are more price-responsive. We aim to fill this gap by comprehensively identifying the drivers of domestic users’ price responsiveness, in order to facilitate the selection of the high-potential users. We adopt a novel data-driven approach, first by a feed forward neural network model to accurately determine the baseline monthly peak consumption of individual households, followed by an integrated machine-learning variable selection methodology to identify the drivers of price responsiveness applied to Irish smart meter data from 2009-10 as part of a national Time of Use trial. This methodology substantially outperforms traditional variable selection methods by combining three advanced machine-learning techniques. Our results show that the response of energy users to price change is affected by a number of factors, ranging from demographic and dwelling characteristics, psychological factors, historical electricity consumption, to appliance ownership. In particular, historical electricity consumption, income, the number of occupants, perceived behavioural control, and adoption of specific appliances, including immersion water heater and dishwasher, are found to be significant drivers of price responsiveness. We also observe that continual price increase within a moderate range does not drive additional peak demand reduction, and that there is an intention-behaviour gap, whereby stated intention does not lead to actual peak reduction behavior. Based on our findings, we have conducted scenario analysis to demonstrate the feasibility of selecting the high potential users to achieve significant peak reduction.
Heavy Majorana neutrino production at electron-muon colliders

description: Possibilities for detecting heavy Majorana neutrinos ($N$'s) at future $eμ$ colliders are investigated. In contrast to the $e^-e^+$ colliders (LEP200 and NLC), the center-of-mass (CMS) energies achieved at $eμ$ colliders can be much higher and the $Z$-mediated $s$ channel is excluded automatically. This opens the attractive possibility of having high production cross sections for $N$'s and at the same time probing only the strength of charged current couplings of $N$'s ($NWe$ and $NWμ$). The production cross sections and the expected numbers of events for the reaction $e^{\mp} μ^{\pm} \to NN \to W^{\pm} {\ell}^{\mp} W^{\pm} {\ell}^{\prime \mp}$ are calculated for various masses $M$ of the Majorana neutrinos and for the CMS energies $\sqrt{s} = 0.5-6.0$ TeV. The values of the charged current coupling parameters are set equal to their present upper bounds. We obtain reasonably high production cross sections. Further, the effects of the off-shell intermediate $N$'s turn out to be significant only at $\sqrt{s} \stackrel{>}{\approx} 2$ TeV.

description: Nonradiating electromagnetic configurations in nanostructures open new horizons for applications due to two essential features: lack of energy losses and invisibility to the propagating electromagnetic field. Such radiationless configurations form a basis for new types of nanophotonic devices, where a strong electromagnetic field confinement can be achieved together with lossless interactions between nearby components. In our work, we present a new design of free-standing disk nanoantennas with nonradiating current distributions for the optical near-infrared range. We show a novel approach to create nanoantennas by slicing III-V nanowires into standing disks using focused ion beam milling. We experimentally demonstrate the suppression of the far-field radiation and the associated strong enhancement of the second-harmonic generation from the disk nanoantennas. With a theoretical analysis of the electromagnetic field distribution using multipole expansions in both spherical and Cartesian coordinates, we confirm that the demonstrated nonradiating configurations are anapoles. We expect that the presented procedure to design and produce disk nanoantennas from nanowires become one of standard approaches to fabricate controlled chains of standing nanodisks with different designs and configurations. These chains can be an essential building blocks for new types of lasers and sensors with low power consumption.

description: A layer-by-layer description of the asymmetric lattice gas model for 1/f-noise suggested by Jensen [Phys. Rev. Lett. 64, 3103 (1990)] is presented. The power spectra of the lattice layers in the direction perpendicular to the particle flux is studied in order to understand how the white noise at the input boundary evolves, on the average, into 1/f-noise for the system. The effects of high boundary drive and uniform driving force on the power spectrum of the total number of diffusing particles are considered. In the case of nearest-neighbor particle interactions, high statistics simulation results show that the power spectra of single lattice layers are characterized by different $β_x$ exponents such that $β_x \to 1.9$ as one approaches the outer boundary.

description: We build a new empirical framework for analyzing destination-specific markup and quantity adjustments by exporters. Our first contribution is an unbiased estimator of the destination-specific markup elasticity to the exchange rate that isolates marginal costs in large unbalanced panels where the set of markets served by a firm varies endogenously with currency movements. Our second contribution is to extend this methodology to estimate adjustments in a firm's trade volumes across markets that are associated with exchange rate-induced adjustments in markups; we dub this the cross-market supply elasticity. Our third contribution is a new classification of Harmonized System products into high and low differentiation goods-which we used as a proxy for exporters' market power. Exploiting information about Chinese "measure words" reported in customs declarations, we add value to existing classification systems including Rauch (1999) and the UN's Broad Economic Categories. Applying this framework to exporters from China, we find that the average markup elasticity is higher for high differentiation goods (20%) than for low differentiation goods (6%). The cross-market supply elasticities are correspondingly lower for high than low differentiation goods, 0.83 and 2.47, respectively.

description: Models of leptogenesis often invoke the out-of-equilibrium decays of heavy right-handed neutrinos in order to create a baryon asymmetry of the universe through the electroweak phase transition. Their presumed existence argues strongly for the presence of an $SU(2)_R$ gauge symmetry. We study the equilibrating effects of the resulting additional right-handed interactions and find that successful leptogenesis requires that $m_N \gtrsim 10^{16}$ GeV if $m_N > m_{W_R}$, and $m_{W_R} \gtrsim 3 \times 10^6 GeV (m_N /10^2 GeV)^{2/3}$ if $m_{N} m_{W_R}$ option is excluded in a supersymmetric theory with gravitinos.

Minimum wages
Quasi-experimental analysis

description: Minimum wages often generate a perplexing set of empirical impacts, including little to no employment consequences but large wage consequences. This paper tests arguably the most promising explanation - search models of minimum wages - in a more direct manner than has been possible to date. The analysis combines extensive data on UK workers' search behaviour with quasi-experimental analysis of the UK minimum wage policy structure, including the 2016 introduction of the National Living Wage. I find robust evidence of increased labour force participation and extensive margin search in response to higher minimum wages with no corresponding change in employment rates. Evidence of decreased average search intensity is uncovered and the duration of unemployed search increases. Taken together, the unemployed search results suggest that minimum wages do impact on labour flow frictions in important ways. In contrast, no significant estimates are found for any on-the-job search moments, i.e. I find no evidence for potential concerns that higher minimum wages provide a disincentive for workers to progress up job ladders.

description: At existing and planned neutrino factories (high energy and high intensity neutrino beam facilities) precision studies of QCD in neutrino-nucleon interactions are a realistic opportunity. We investigate charmonium production in fixed target neutrino experiments. We find that $J/ψ$ production in neutrino-nucleon collision is dominated by the color octet $^3S_1$ NRQCD matrix element in a neutral current process, which is not accessible in photo or leptoproduction. Neutrino experiments at a future Muon Collider will acquire sufficient event rate to accurately measure color octet matrix element contributions. The currently running high energy neutrino experiments, NOMAD and NuTeV could also observe several such events.

Invoicing and the Dynamics of Pricing-to-market: Evidence from UK Export Prices around the Brexit Referendum
Creators: name: Corsetti, G.

name: Han, L.
Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics
Year: 2018

description: In this paper, we provide novel micro evidence that the currency in which exports and imports are invoiced is a good proxy for the currency in which Firms set prices. Using detailed data on UK customs transactions, we document that destination-specific markup adjustment is substantial only for export shipments which are invoiced in the destination market's currency, consistent with the view that Firms invoicing in local currency price to market. Conversely, we Find no destination-specific markup adjustments by Firms that invoice a shipment in either their own currency or a vehicle currency, consistent with a Firm setting one price either in their own or in a vehicle currency. However, we also document that, while the aggregate shares of invoicing currencies for the UK's exports and imports are stable over time, there is substantial heterogeneity at the Firm-product-destination level. A Firm's shipments of the same product to the same destination are often invoiced in multiple currencies, with a non-trivial degree of switching from one invoicing currency to another within a twelve-month period. This is more pronounced for Firms that are multi-product and serve several destinations, pointing to a potentially important margin of adjustment so far understudied in the literature.

description: This paper analyzes the delayed voltage recovery phenomenon by simplifying the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) composite load model using the load admittance and the thermal relay dynamics. From this analysis, a closed form expression approximating the recovery time is derived and the key load parameters impacting the behavior of voltage recovery are identified. A monitoring scheme based on the measured load admittance is then proposed to detect the onset of stalling, even in the presence of voltage oscillations, and estimate the duration of the delayed voltage recovery. A mitigation scheme utilizing smart thermostats and offline learning is also derived to ensure that the voltage recovers to the pre-contingency voltage within a specified time. Both the monitoring and mitigation schemes only need local measurements at a substation making them promising for online applications. Results for the monitoring and mitigation schemes are described in detail for the IEEE 162 bus system validating the various assumptions used for the analysis and establishing the connection between the delayed voltage recovery phenomenon and load admittance.

description: Economic downturns can create conditions for mass uprisings that threaten an authoritarian ruler. Religious authority can provide the ideological force needed to solve the collective action problem that hinders a revolution. When co-option is infeasible, the ruler can respond to economic shocks by suppressing the religious authority of the popular religion. In this paper we provide empirical evidence of this response in medieval India. Using centuries of geo-referenced data we document a positive relationship between weather fluctuations and the destruction of Hindu temples under Muslim rule. Specifically, during periods of large weather fluctuations the likelihood of a Muslim State desecrating a Hindu temple increases by about 1 percentage point (relative to the baseline of 0.7%). We explore various mechanisms that could drive the ruler’s response and show that regime stability is the likely explanation for this relationship. The paper contributes to our understanding of the behaviour of authoritarian regimes in diverse societies.

description: We study theoretically and quantitatively how official lending regimes affect a government's decision to raise saving as opposed to defaulting, and its implication for sovereign bond pricing by investors. We reconsider debt sustainability in the face of both output and rollover risk under two types of institutional bailouts: one based on long-maturity, low-spread loans similar to the ones offered by the euro area official lenders; the other, on shorter maturity and high-spread loans, close to the International Monetary Fund standards. We show that official lending regimes raise the stock of safe debt and facilitate consumption smoothing through debt reduction. However, to the extent that bailouts translates into higher future debt stocks and countercyclical deficits in persistent recessions, they also have countervailing effects on sustainability. Quantitatively, the model is able to replicate Portuguese debt and spread dynamics in the years of the bailout after 2011. We show that, depending on the composition of debt by maturity and official lending, sustainable debt levels can vary between 50% of GDP and 180% of GDP depending on the state of the economy and the conditions for market access. Longer maturities have a stronger effect on sustainability than lower spreads.

description: Angular distribution of neutrinos (recoil nucleus) in muon capture for an allowed Gamov-Teller transition is considered by taking account of hyperfine effects. This angular distribution is shown to include a correlation of the form P_2(cos A), where A is the angle between the neutrino momentum and the axis specifying the orientation of the initial mesic atom. This correlation, which arises only if the initial mesic atom is aligned, proves highly sensitive to the form factor g_P of induced pseudoscalar interaction. The proposed method for determinating g_P may be realized for the transition 1+ to 2+ from the ground state of the 6-Li nucleus to the narrow resonance of the 6-He nucleus in continuum, as well as in the processes like 10-B(3+) to 10-Be(2+), 11-B(3/2-) to 11-Be(1/2-), 23-Na(3/2+) to 23-Ne(1/2+) with transitions to bound states.

description: We present a study of 7 southern open clusters based on UBVRI CCD photomety (Johnsons-Cousins system) and Gaia DR2 data. Dias 4, Dias 6 and four other clusters had UBVRI photometric observations determined for the first time. From the observational UBVRI data we obtained photometric membership probability estimates and, using the proper motions from the UCAC5 catalog, we also determined the kinematic membership. From Gaia DR2 astrometric data we determine the stellar membership using proper motions and parallaxes, taking into account the full covariance matrix. For both independent sets of data and membership we apply our non subjective multidimensional global optimization tool to fit theoretical isochrones to determine the distance, age, reddening, metallicity and binary fraction of the clusters. The results of the mean proper motions, distances and ages are in agreement, but the ones obtained from Gaia DR2 data are more precise in both membership selection and estimated parameters. In the case of NGC 6087, the Cepheid S Nor, member of the open cluster, was used to obtain an independent distance estimate, confirming the one determined by our fitting method. We also report a serendipitous discovery of two new clusters in the extended field near what was originally Dias 4.

description: The perspectives of two new nonstandard methods of transversal quark polarization measurement are considered: the jet handedness and the so-called "Collins effect" due to spin dependent T-odd fragmentation function responsible for the left-right asymmetry in fragmenting of transversally polarized quarks. Recent experimental indications in favor of these effects are observed: 1.The correlation of the T-odd one-particle fragmentation functions found by DELPHI in $Z\to 2$-jet decay. Integrated over the fraction of longitudinal and transversal momenta, this correlation is of 1.6% order, which means order of 13% for the analyzing power. 2.A rather large ($\approx10%$) handedness transversal to the production plane observed in the diffractive production of ($π^-π^+π^-$) triples from nuclei by the $40 {\rm GeV/c}$ $π^-$--beam. It shows a clear dynamic origin and resembles the single spin asymmetry behavior. All this makes us hope to use these effects in polarized DIS experiments for transversity measurement. The first estimation of transversity was done by using the azimuthal asymmetry in semi-inclusive DIS recently measured by HERMES and SMC.

Household electricity demand

description: We examine the distributional effects of the introduction of Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing schemes where the price per kWh of electricity usage depends on the time of consumption. These pricing schemes are enabled by smart meters, which can regularly (i.e. half-hourly) record consumption. Using causal trees, and an aggregation of causal tree estimates known as a causal forest (Athey & Imbens 2016, Wager & Athey 2017), we consider the association between the effect of TOU pricing schemes on household electricity demand and a range of variables that are observable before the introduction of the new pricing schemes. Causal trees provide an interpretable description of heterogeneity, while causal forests can be used to obtain individual-specific estimates of treatment effects. Given that policy makers are often interested in the factors underlying a given prediction, it is desirable to gain some insight to which variables in this large set are most often selected. A key challenge follows from that fact that partitions generated by tree-based methods are sensitive to subsampling, while the use of ensemble methods such as causal forests produce more stable, but less interpretable estimates. To address this problem we utilise variable importance measures to consider which variables are chosen most often by the causal forest algorithm. Given that a number of standard variable importance measures can be biased towards continuous variables, we address this issue by including permutation-based tests for our variable importance results.

description: We calculate the rate for pair production of light pseudoscalars by strong inhomogeneous and static electric (magnetic) fields. We show that, in the case of axions, the stability of atoms over cosmic lifetimes is jeopardised unless the Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking scale $f_a$ is larger than ${\cal O} (10^{10} GeV)$.

description: We define and study hard ``semi-exclusive'' processes of the form $A+B \to C + Y$ which are characterized by a large momentum transfer between the particles $A$ and $C$ and a large rapidity gap between the final state particle $C$ and the inclusive system $Y$. Such reactions are in effect generalizations of deep inelastic lepton scattering, providing novel currents which probe specific quark distributions of the target $B$ at fixed momentum fraction. We give explicit expressions for photo- and leptoproduction cross sections such as $γp \to πY$ in terms of parton distributions in the proton and the pion distribution amplitude. Semi-exclusive processes provide opportunities to study fundamental issues in QCD, including odderon exchange and color transparency, and suggest new ways to measure spin-dependent parton distributions.

Slender plants growing in dense tufts. Stems to 4 cm high, erect or ascending from a prostrate base, little branched, densely tomentose in lower part. Leaves appressed when dry, erect-spreading when moist, 3-5 mm long, Ovate-lanceolate with acute apex; Costa ca. 1/3 of the leaf base, percurrent or short-excurrent, with serrate ridges at back, in cross-section with a dorsal band of stereids and at ventral side a row of small cells or substereids; laminal cells just above the auricles firm-walled, quadrate to short-rectangular, near the costa 20-50 pm long and 20-25 pm wide, towards margin much smaller, quadrate; upper laminal cells irregular-quadrate or rhomboid. Sporophyte not known.
Distribution Brazil, the Guianas.
Ecology: Terrestrial, on rock and charcoal; in the Guianas not common, confined to white sand savannas and open rock vegetations.
Selected specimens: 1 Guyana: Santa Mission, white sand savanna, Florschütz-de Waard 6110 (L); Kaieteur Falls, open rock area, alt. 400 m, Newton et al. 3356 (L, US) Suriname: Granite outcrop, 1 km NW of Voltzberg, Schulz & van Donselaar 10545 (L). French Guiana: Roche Koutou, Bassin du Haut-Marouini, alt. 480 m, Hoff 5262; idem, de Granville et al. 9425 (L, CAY).
Note This species is distinguished from C. savannarum by the shorter and broader leaves with the lamina extending to the apex; the costa may be percurrent or short-excurrent, varying along one stem. In this respect the difference with C. savannarum in the modification “bartlettii” distinguished by the same characters, is not sharply marked. Other distinguishing characters could not be observed. Perhaps this species could as well be interpreted as an extreme modification of C. savannarum (Frahm 1991).

description: The structure and function of polymers in confined environments, e.g., biopolymers in the cytoplasm of a cell, are strongly affected by macromolecular crowding. To explore the influence of solvent quality on conformations of crowded polymers, we model polymers as penetrable ellipsoids, whose shape fluctuations are governed by the statistics of self-avoiding walks, appropriate for a polymer in a good solvent. Within this coarse-grained model, we perform Monte Carlo simulations of mixtures of polymers and hard-nanosphere crowders, including trial changes in polymer size and shape. Penetration of polymers by crowders is incorporated via a free energy cost predicted by polymer field theory. To analyze the impact of crowding on polymer conformations in different solvents, we compute average polymer shape distributions, radius of gyration, volume, and asphericity over ranges of polymer-to-crowder size ratio and crowder volume fraction. The simulation results are accurately predicted by a free-volume theory of polymer crowding. Comparison of results for polymers in good and theta solvents indicates that excluded-volume interactions between polymer segments significantly affect crowding, especially in the limit of crowders much smaller than polymers. Our approach may help to motivate future experimental studies of polymers in crowded environments, with possible relevance for drug delivery and gene therapy.

Ab initio pseudopotential study of Fe, Co, and Ni employing the spin-polarized LAPW approach

description: The ground-state properties of Fe, Co, and Ni are studied with the linear-augmented-plane-wave (LAPW) method and norm-conserving pseudopotentials. The calculated lattice constant, bulk modulus, and magnetic moment with both the local-spin-density approximation (LSDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) are in good agreement with those of all-electron calculations, respectively. The GGA results show a substantial improvement over the LSDA results, i.e., better agreement with experiment. The accurate treatment of the nonlinear core-valence exchange and correlation interaction is found to be essential for the determination of the magnetic properties of 3d transition metals. The present study demonstrates the successful application of the LAPW pseudopotential approach to the calculation of ground-state properties of magnetic 3d transition metals.

T-noninvariant effect in muon capture by 6-Li nucleus with decay to a continuum

description: The T-noninvariant transverse polarization of neutrons is considered for muon capture by a 6-Li nucleus with decay into a quasistationary 2+ state of the three particle alpha+n+n continuum. This polarization is orthogonal to the plane spanned by the polarization axis of the initial mesic atom and the neutron momentum. The situation in which neutrons that are emitted in the plane orthogonal to the axis of the mesic-atom polarization and which have oppositely directed momenta equal in magnitude are selected is analyzed. The wave function of the final state is constructed by using the method of hyperspherical harmonics. In the approximation of the allowed Gamow-Teller transition 1+ to 2+, this neutron polarization is expressed in terms of the T-noninvariant relative phase of reduced matrix elements for transitions from the 6-Li ground state to various final-state configurations.

description: Increasing residential renewable energy generation and the consumers’ demand for reducing their electricity bills leads to new opportunities to use electric vehicles (EVs) and batteries as domestic storage units. This paper assesses the economic feasibility of Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) and domestic battery systems in the United Kingdom (UK). To do the analysis, a UK average EV and domestic battery have been established; called UKEV and UKBat respectively. The UKEV characteristics were determined by taking a weighted average from the five highest selling EVs in the UK. An arithmetic mean was used for the individual UKBat features based on seven models currently available on the UK market. The UKEV and UKBat were compared under four scenarios. These are Ofgem’s two domestic electricity profile classes (PC1, PC2) and two existing time-of-use tariffs; one with two and the other with three rates during a day. Maximum annual saving for the consumer was estimated to be around 35% and 57% per annual electricity bill for the EV and battery, respectively. On average, for both UKEV and UKBat, the three-rate tariff yielded 30% more savings than the two-rate tariff. Battery degradation cost was the major parameter affecting the economic feasibility of V2H and domestic batteries, but these costs are expected to continue to fall. Suitable time-of-use tariff design is the key to maximising consumers’ savings in using these units.

description: The Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey (GPIES) is a direct imaging campaign designed to search for young, self-luminous, giant exoplanets. To date, GPIES has observed nearly 500 targets, and generated over 30,000 individual exposures using its integral field spectrograph (IFS) instrument. The GPIES team has developed a campaign data system with a database incorporating all of the metadata for all individual raw data products, including environmental conditions and instrument performance metrics. The same database also indexes metadata associated with multiple levels of reduced data products, including contrast measures for individual images and combined image sequences, which serve as the primary metric of performance for the final science products. The database is also used to track telemetry products from the adaptive optics subsystem, and associate these with corresponding IFS data. Here, we discuss several data exploration and visualization projects enabled by the GPIES database. Of particular interest are any correlations between instrument performance and environmental or operating conditions. We show single and multiple-parameter fits of single-image and observing sequence contrast as functions of various seeing measures, and discuss automated outlier rejection and other fitting concerns. Supervised learning techniques are employed in order to partition the space of raw (single image) to final (full sequence) contrast in order to better predict the value of the final data set from the first few completed observations. Finally, we discuss the particular features of the database design that aid in performing these analyses, and suggest potential future upgrades and refinements.

description: We present simple analytical formulae which describe solutions of the RG equations for Yukawa couplings in SUSY gauge theories with the accuracy of a few per cent. Performing the Grassmannian expansion in these solutions one finds those for all the soft couplings and masses. The solutions clearly exhibit the fixed point behaviour which can be calculated analytically. A comparison with numerical solutions is demonstrated.

The Delta(1232)-nucleon interaction in the 2H(p,n) charge exchange reaction

description: The 2H(p,n) charge exchange reaction at T_p=790 MeV is used to study the Delta(1232)-nucleon interaction in the Delta resonance excitation energy region. For the Delta-N potential, a meson exchange model is adopted where pi, rho, omega, and sigma meson exchanges are taken into account. The deuteron disintegration below and above pion threshold is calculated using a coupled channel approach. Various observables, such as the inclusive cross section, the quasifree Delta decay, the coherent pion production, and the two-nucleon breakup are considered. It is shown that these observables are influenced by the dynamical treatment of the Delta degrees of freedom. Of special interest is the coherent pion decay of the Delta resonance which is studied by means of the exclusive reaction 2H(p,n pi+)2H. Both the peak energy and the magnitude of the coherent pion production cross section depend very sensitively on the strength of the Delta-N potential. The coherent pions have a peak energy of 300 MeV and a strongly forward peaked angular distribution.
