description: A small drop that splashes into a deep liquid sometimes reappears as a small rising jet, for example when a water drop splashes into a pool or when coffee drips into a cup. Here we describe that the growing and rising jet continuously redistributes its fluid to maintain a universal shape originating from a surface tension based deceleration of the jet; the shape is universal in the sense that the shape of the rising jet is the same at all times; only the scaling depends on fluid parameters and deceleration. An inviscid equation of motion for the jet is proposed assuming a time dependent but uniform deceleration; the equation of motion is made dimensionless by using a generalized time-dependent capillary length ${λ_c}$ and is solved numerically. As a solution a concave shape function is found that is fully determined by three measurable physical parameters: deceleration, mass density and surface tension; it is found that the surface tension based deceleration of the jet scales quadratic with the size of the jet base. Deceleration values derived from the jet shape are in good agreement with deceleration values calculated from the time plot of the height of the rising jet.

description: Iron is one of the archetypical ferromagnets to study the critical fluctuations at a continuous phase transition thus serving as a model system for the application of scaling theory. We report a comprehensive study of the critical dynamics at the transition from the ferro- to the paramagnetic phase in Fe, employing the high-resolution neutron spin echo technique MIEZE. The results show that the dipolar interactions lead to an additional damping of the critical spin fluctuations at small momentum transfers $\bf q$. The results agree essentially with scaling theory if the dipolar interactions are taken into account by means of the mode-coupling equations. However, in contrast to expectations, the dipolar wavenumber $q_D$ that plays a central role in the scaling function $f(κ/q,q_D/κ)$ becomes temperature dependent. In the limit of small $\bf q$ the critical exponent $z$ crosses over from 2.5 to 2.0.

description: In this paper, we have extended the previous study of the thermodynamics and phase transition of the Schwarzschild black hole in the rainbow gravity to the Schwarzschild-AdS black hole where metric depends on the energy of a probe. Making use of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the modified dispersion relation, we have obtained the modified local Hawking temperature and thermodynamic quantities in an isothermal cavity. Moreover, we carry out the analysis of constant temperature slices of a black hole. As a result, we have shown that there also exists another Hawking-Page-like phase transition in which case a locally stable small black hole tunnels into a globally stable large black hole as well as the standard Hawking-Page phase transition from a hot flat space to a black hole.

description: We study the dynamical properties of the quantum Rabi model within a systematic expansion method. Based on the observation that the parity symmetry of the Rabi model is kept during the evolution of the states, we decompose the initial state and the time-dependent one into a part of a positive and a negative parity expanded by the superposition of the coherent states. The evolutions for the corresponding positive and the negative parity are obtained, where the expansion coefficients in the dynamical equations are known from the recurrence relation derived.

description: The upcoming operation of the Extra Low ENergy Antiprotons (ELENA) ring at CERN, the upgrade of the anti-proton decelerator (AD), and the installation in the AD hall of an intense slow positron beam with an expected flux of $10^{8}$ e$^+$/s will open the possibility for new experiments with anti-hydrogen ($\bar{\text{H}}$). Here we propose a scheme to measure the Lamb shift of $\bar{\text{H}}$. For a month of data taking, we anticipate an uncertainty of 100 ppm. This will provide a test of CPT and the first determination of the anti-proton charge radius at the level of 10%.

The Effect of Renewable, Non- Renewable and Biomass Energy Consumption and Economic Growth on CO2 emission in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Gebrekristos, Zerebruk
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Recognizing the fact that the current reliance on traditional sources of energy is unsustainable, particularly from environmental grounds, the international community considers renewable sources of energy as a possible solution. But the effect of renewable and other sources of energy has to be evaluated in each country context separately. Hence the current study aim to examine the effect of consumption of energy from different sources (biomass, non-renewable and renewable) and economic growth on the emission of CO2 (the major gas emitted from the energy sector) in Ethiopia (a country embarking to modern renewable energy sources) using Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) methodological framework. Results of unit root test shows that all the variables are non-stationary in their level forms and stationary in their first difference. Bound test for co integration shows the existence of long run co integrating relationship among the variables. From the results, biomass energy is found to positively affect emission of CO2 in the long run. Non-renewable energy consumption also increases emission of the gas in both in the short run and long run significantly. In addition economic growth of the country under the study period leads to increase in emission of the gas. Therefore; it can be inferred that non-renewable (fuel) energy, biomass energy consumptions and the general economic growth of the country results in increase in emission of CO2 in Ethiopia and are not in harmony with the country's objective of making the energy sector and the overall economic activity benign to the environment. Key words: CO2 emission, Biomass, Renewable and non-renewable energies, Autoregressive Distributive Lag, Ethiopia

description: In this proceedings I briefly review the recent progress achieved on the calculation of $v_n$ at high $p_T$ via the coupling of a jet energy loss model with full event-by-event viscous hydrodynamics. It is shown that that this framework can simultaneously describe experimental data for $R_{AA}$, $v_2$, and $v_3$ at high $p_T$. High $p_T$ $v_2$ is found to be approximately linearly correlated with the soft $v_2$ on an event-by-event basis, which opens up a new way to correlate soft and hard observables in heavy ion collisions.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: This study was carried out on challenges of locally assembled vehicle supply chains in Ethiopia from assembler's perspective with regard to technological, cost, infrastructural, market or service, relationship, production or skills challenges. The main objective of the study was to describe the supply chain challenges faced from the perspective of the assemblers and identify measures taken to overcome the challenging factors. The study raised three research questions that are answered as a result of the study. The target population covers all local vehicle assembling firms in Ethiopia. For the study descriptive type of research design was used, and quantitative and qualitative data was collected to collect information on challenges of the firms and measures taken to overcome the challenges from the respondents. Descriptive statistics was employed for the analysis of the data by using SPSS v 17 software and different secondary documents analysis is done for confirming the findings The result indicates technological and infrastructural challenges followed by cost challenges are found to be critical for the vehicle assembling firms in Ethiopia. In addition to this complicated LC opening procedures, the difference between bonded warehouse and customs working strategy, second hand imported vehicles, government policies and tax issues, the chance given by the government to investors to import cars without any tax due which affect the sales of locally assembled cars are also quoted by respondents as challenges. Even though measures have been taken by the assemblers to reduce challenges by using a systematic way of handling their customers, training their employees, using inbound logistics systems and discussing with concerned government officials the shortcomings cannot be reduced. This indicates most of the challenges are beyond the control of the firms, and need coordination between all the stakeholders for reducing the impact of these challenges for the growth of the industry

description: In order to understand the possible $q\bar{q}$ quark-model assignments of the $B_J(5840)$ and $B_J(5960)$ recently reported by the LHCb Collaboration, we evaluate mass spectra, strong decays, and radiative decays of bottom and bottom-strange mesons in a nonrelativistic quark model. Comparing these predictions with the relevant experimental results, we suggest that the $B_J(5840)$ and $B_J(5960)$ can be identified as the $B(2^1S_0)$ and $B(1^3D_3)$, respectively, and the $B(5970)$ reported by the CDF Collaboration can be interpreted as the $B(2^3S_1)$ or $B(1^3D_3)$. Further precise measurements of the width, spin and decay modes of the $B(5970)$ are needed to distinguish these two assignments. These predictions of bottom and bottom-strange mesons can provide useful information to further experimental investigations.

description: Black and Latinx children have disparities in health conditions and associated outcomes when compared to white children, including atopic dermatitis (AD). This dissertation is a study that aimed to describe racial and ethnic disparities in Black and Latinx children with AD, and the development of a tool to increase access to care for children with AD. This dissertation also explored caregivers’ barriers and preferences towards accessing health care for their children’s AD. I found that Black and Latinx children suffer from increased prevalence and severity and decreased control of their AD compared to white children and they are less likely to receive appropriate health care for the disease, which likely contributes to the disparities. Remote AD severity assessment applying the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) to caregiver-provided photos and videos may be a valid, reliable, feasible, and acceptable method to increase access to dermatology specialty care and research participation for children with AD with a diverse range of skin tones. A greater understanding of what drives these disparities and methods to increase access to quality health care may improve outcomes for Black and Latinx children with AD. Based on my research findings, recommendations for nursing, policy, and future research are discussed.

description: In a previous paper we defined the circumconic of a triangle $ABC$ with respect to a point $P$ as the conic $\tilde C=T_{P'}^{-1}(N_{P'})$, where $N_{P'}$ is the $9$-point conic for the quadrangle $ABCP'$ with respect to the line at infinity, $P'$ is the isotomic conjugate of $P$ with respect to $ABC$, and $T_{P'}$ is the affine map taking $ABC$ to the cevian triangle for $P'$. In this paper we determine the locus of points for which a certain affine map $\textsf{M}$ taking the circumconic $\tilde C$ to the inconic $\mathcal{I}$, defined to be the unique conic tangent to the sides of $ABC$ at the traces of the point $P$ on those sides, is a half-turn. This locus turns out to be an elliptic curve minus six points, which can be constructed geometrically using a family of affine maps defined for points on three open arcs of a circle.

description: International and local studies had shown prevalence of Compassion Fatigue (Burnout and Secondary Traumatic Stress), and Compassion satisfaction (Described as Professional Quality of Life) in different health care setting. These are considered positive and negative effects of caring which can be experienced by nurses in their workplaces. However, there are limited data on the status of Professional Quality of life of Maternal and Child nurses in the Philippines, and the role of resilience in this population which is globally known for this attribute. This study explored the level and correlation of Professional Quality of Life and resilience of Filipino nurses assigned in
 maternal and child locale, which is considered as one of the busiest subspecialties. A correlation research design was chosen and two hundred fifteen (215) registered nurses were sampled using a demographic questionnaire, Resilience scale questionnaire developed by Wagnild and Young (2010) and Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL version 5) developed by Stamm (2010). Results showed that despite high resilience, and high compassion satisfaction, there is high prevalence of burnout and moderate STS in this population suggesting that these positive and negative
 effects of caring can co-exist. High resilience and high compassion satisfaction do not diminished Burnout but may have correlation with the level of STS. Therefore, hospitals should not only focus on building resilience alone to combat Compassion Fatigue, but also to identify the root cause of Burn-out and address accordingly.

Evolution of the stellar-merger red nova V1309 Scorpii: SED analysis

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: One very important object for understanding the nature of red novae is V1309 Sco. Its pre-outburst observations showed that, before its red-nova eruption in 2008, it was a contact binary quickly evolving to the merger of the components. It thus provided us with a direct evidence that the red novae result from stellar mergers. We analyse the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the object and its evolution with time. From various optical and infrared surveys and observing programmes carried out with OGLE, HST, VVV, Gemini South, WISE, Spitzer, and Herschel we constructed observed SED in 2010 and 2012. Some limited data are also available for the red-nova progenitor in 2007. We analyse the data with our model of a dusty envelope surrounding a central star. Dust was present in the pre-outburst state of V1309 Sco. Its high temperature (900-1000 K) suggests that this was a freshly formed dust in a presumable mass-loss from the spiralling-in binary. Shortly after its 2008 eruption, V1309~Sco became almost completely embedded in dust. The parameters (temperature, dimensions) of the dusty envelope in 2010 and 2012 evidence that we then observed matter lost by the object during the 2008 outburst. Its mass is at least $10^{-3}\,M_\odot$. The object remains quite luminous, although since its maximum brightness in September 2008, it has faded in luminosity by a factor of ~50 (in 2012). Far infrared data from Herschel reveal presence of a cold (~30 K) dust at a distance of a few thousand AU from the object. This conclusion could be verified by submillimeter interferometric observations.

Determinants of Deposit Mobilization and Related Costs of Commercial Banks in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Garo, Giragn
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: The objective of commercial banks in Ethiopia is to make profits and thus satisfy the needs of their respective owners. The making of profits and even staying on board of these conventional banks depend on the strategies adopted by each bank to mobilize deposits from the public that is an input to earn income for most conventional banks. In order to make good strategies, however, the banks should know what factors determine the deposit mobilization activity in the real world. This paper then explores the theoretical as well as empirical analysis of those factors having an impact on deposit volume in banks and even assesses which ones are more significant or less significant. To do the practical investigation in terms of commercial banks in Ethiopia, the researcher collected the relevant data from annual reports of twelve years (2001/2-2012/13) and from questionnaires and interviews made to senior bank officers of seven banks. The data is analyzed through the econometric analysis using SPSS software. The study reveals that the branch expansion, the money supply, the exchange rate of Birr to USD and general inflation are the most significant factors of deposit mobilization activity. The other variables-deposit rate and real per capita GDP growth rate have insignificant power to influence the dependent variable. In this research, as opposed to the conventional economic theory, the deposit rate is found to have negative relation against the deposit volume for the period under study. The study also exposes that the deposit mobilization activity is becoming challenging, its associated costs are escalating and the competition is also becoming stiff-the outcome of the competition favoring the big size state banks. Beyond that the government policies are also favourng the latter in an effort to mobilize huge fund for a national development activities. The research recommends that banks have to do much in branch expansion studying potential deposit areas. Key Words: deposits mobilization, customers, banks, financial institutions Note: The word Savings and deposits are interchangeably used in this research.

The Effect Of Inventory Management Practice On Logistics Performance The Case Of Ethiopian Defense Force Logistics Main Department
Creators: name: Weldeyes, Liul
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of inventory management practice on logistics performance in the case of Ethiopian Defense Force Logistics Main Department. Inventory is a crucial part of an asset in any business firm, organization, large or small industry and public service. Because without inventory items, there is no production or service. Therefore managing the inventory is the essential part of the management part. Generally, effective inventory management is the high success of any organization. So, this study concerned to assess the inventory management and its effect on logistics management that may be enables the only military organization in the country to improve the quality service rendering to its end users since its mission is very sensitive. The study was employed both descriptive and explanatory research designs to conduct this research. It contained a qualitative and quantities component that enables the researcher to assess the study easily. The study encompasses the main root of the organization's inventory management areas of departments (purchasing, warehouse & finance. The sampling technique of the study was stratified sampling technique. The target population was 150 employees of Ethiopian Defense Force Logistics Department. The sample taken was 109 employees which was 73% of the total population and selected proportionally from each stratum. 4 department heads and 1 head of logistics main department were selected for interview and the remaining 104 members for questionnaire. According to the objectives of the study, the key findings of the study revealed that there is a gap on purchasing department in relation to applying competitive based purchasing practice, lack of information sharing between purchasing and warehouse departments, lack of computerized inventory management system, lack of proper inventory handling and disposal system and lack of on job and of job training programs in relation to inventory management practice. These gaps may highly affect the logistics performance in Ethiopian Defense Force Logistics Main Department in relation to customer satisfaction and delivery performance. The researcher recommended for those problems that the inventory management practice should be improved in relation to purchasing, controlling and handling & disposal of inventory items in order to improve logistics performance especially in relation to customer satisfaction and delivery performance.
Exciton formation assisted by longitudinal optical phonons in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We examine a mechanism by which excitons are generated via the LO (longitudinal optical) phonon-assisted scattering process after optical excitation of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. The exciton formation time is computed as a function of the exciton center-of-mass wavevector, electron and hole temperatures, and carrier densities for known values of the Fröhlich coupling constant, LO phonon energy, lattice temperature, and the exciton binding energy in layered structures. For the monolayer MoS$_2$, we obtain ultrafast exciton formation times on the sub-picosecond time scale at charge densities of 5 $\times$ 10$^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$ and carrier temperatures less than 300 K, in good agreement with recent experimental findings ($\approx$ 0.3 ps). While excitons are dominantly created at zero center-of-mass wavevectors at low charge carrier temperatures ($\approx$ 30 K), the exciton formation time is most rapid at non-zero wavevectors at higher temperatures ($\ge $ 120 K) of charge carriers. The results show the inverse square-law dependence of the exciton formation times on the carrier density, consistent with a square-law dependence of photoluminescence on the excitation density. Our results show that excitons are formed more rapidly in exemplary monolayer selenide-based dichalcogenides (MoSe$_2$ and WSe$_2$) than sulphide-based dichalcogenides (MoS$_2$ and WS$_2$).

Molecular gas kinematics of the CMZ: Great oaks from little acorns grow

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The central molecular zone (CMZ) hosts some of the most massive and dense molecular clouds and star clusters in the Galaxy, offering an important window into star formation under extreme conditions. Star formation in this extreme environment may be closely linked to the 3-D distribution and orbital dynamics of the gas. Here I discuss how our new, accurate description of the $\{l,b,v\}$ structure of the CMZ is helping to constrain its 3-D geometry. I also present the discovery of a highly-regular, corrugated velocity field located just upstream from the dust ridge molecular clouds (which include G0.253+0.016 and Sgr B2). The extremes in this velocity field correlate with a series of massive ($\sim10^{4}$ M$_{\odot}$) cloud condensations. The corrugation wavelength ($\sim23$ pc) and cloud separation ($\sim8$ pc) closely agree with the predicted Toomre ($\sim17$ pc) and Jeans ($\sim6$ pc) lengths, respectively. I conclude that gravitational instabilities are driving the formation of molecular clouds within the Galactic Centre gas stream. Furthermore, I suggest that these seeds are the historical analogues of the dust ridge molecular clouds - possible progenitors of some of the most massive and dense molecular clouds in the Galaxy. If our current best understanding for the 3-D geometry of this system is confirmed, these clouds may pinpoint the beginning of an evolutionary sequence that can be followed, in time, from cloud condensation to star formation.

description: A very simple, quadratic potential is used to construct vortex strings in a generalized Skyrme model and an additional quadratic potential is used to embed sine-Gordon-type halfkinks onto the string worldline, yielding half-Skyrmions on a string. The strings are furthermore compactified onto a circle and the halfkinks are forced to appear in pairs; in particular 2B halfkinks (half-Skyrmions) will appear as beads on a ring with B being the number of times the host vortex is twisted and also the baryon number (Skyrmion number) from the bulk point of view. Finally, we construct an effective field theory on the torus, describing the kinks living on the vortex rings.

A crew scheduling decision is one of the decisions among other operational decisions faced by the Company. The Company has been preparing and distributing the schedules on a weekly basis and it performs the entire function manually. In EAL, the crew scheduling preparation is subjected to different rules, regulations, safety considerations, contractual agreements and conditions of awards and agreements. To check whether these factors are consistently considered or not, 5 recent schedules prepared on May 28, June 4, 11, 18, and 25 were reviewed and assessment was made on these schedules by considering the month of June assignment. In the course of analysis, 20 cabin crew members were randomly selected from these schedules and the data related with them was analyzed on the basis of monthly duty time, days-off incorporation, fairness of the assignment in terms of consistently assigning all available flights to the crew members equitably, and quality (error rates) of the schedule. With respect to the monthly duty assignment, the Company sets 90 hours monthly duty time for each cabin crew member as a standard and based on this standard 85% of the employees, whose overtime payment ranges from 9% to 77% from their basic obligation, were found working extra hours. Regarding the days-off consideration, each cabin crew member is entitled to receive 6 days guaranteed days-off per month and based on this it is found that 75% of cabin crew members days-off were not considered when the schedule was prepared. In the course of checking the equitability of the system, flight repetition was taken as a variable and it was found that 50% of the cabin crew members were scheduled to attend 1 or two flights repeatedly with in the given month. At last, the quality of the schedules was alsoevaluated based on the selected cabin crew members and it was found that 20% of the crew members were scheduled to attend more than 1 flight in the same day.

description: We consider second order elliptic differential operators on a bounded Lipschitz domain $Ω$. Firstly, we establish a natural one-to-one correspondence between their self-adjoint extensions, with domains of definition containing in $H^1(Ω)$, and Lagrangian planes in $H^{1/2}(\partialΩ)\times H^{-1/2}(\partialΩ)$. Secondly, we derive a formula relating the spectral flow of the one-parameter families of such operators to the Maslov index, the topological invariant counting the signed number of conjugate points of paths of Lagrangian planes in $H^{1/2}(\partialΩ)\times H^{-1/2}(\partialΩ)$. Furthermore, we compute the Morse index, the number of negative eigenvalues, in terms of the Maslov index for several classes of the second order operators: the $\vecθ-$periodic Schrödinger operators on a period cell $Q\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, the elliptic operators with Robin-type boundary conditions, and the abstract self-adjoint extensions of the Schrödinger operators on star-shaped domains. Our work is built on the techniques recently developed by B.Booß-Bavnbek, K. Furutani, and C. Zhu, and extends the scope of validity of their spectral flow formula by incorporating the self-adjoint extensions of the second order operators with domains in the first order Sobolev space $H^1(Ω)$. In addition, we generalize the results concerning relations between the Maslov and Morse indices quite recently obtained by G. Cox, J. Deng, C. Jones, J. Marzuola, A. Sukhtayev and the authors. Finally, we describe and study a link between the theory of abstract boundary triples and the Lagrangian description of self-adjoint extensions of abstract symmetric operators.

Fiscal Policy, Public Investment and Economic Growth in Ethiopia

description: It remained a big intellectual puzzle both on theoretical and empirical front that the question of whether or not fiscal policy spurs economic growth. Proponents of government intervention believe that government involvement in economic phenomena is crucial for growth, but opponents have a view that government involvements are naturally bureaucratic and unproductive and therefore retarding rather than promoting growth. This contradicting view comes up with equally mixed results in the empirical literature. In line with argument, objective of this study is to contribute towards the literature on fiscal policy, public investment and economic growth in Ethiopia. This study used time series techniques and applied empirical model by Kneller et al (1999) and Bleaney et al (2000) to investigate the link between various components of fiscal policy on growth on annual data for the period 1981 – 2013. It employed the autoregressive distributed lag estimation technique. Results of the bound tests indicated that there was a long-run relationship between the variables. Disaggregating government expenditure into productive and unproductive and tax revenue into distortionary and non distortionary. The study found unproductive expenditure and nondistortionary tax revenue to be neutral to growth as predicted by economic theory. Productive expenditure has positive effect on growth while there was evidence of distortionary effects on growth. On the other hand, government investment was found to be beneficial to growth in the long run. These results give right signal to policy makers in Ethiopia in formulating expenditure and tax policies to ensure unproductive expenditures are reduced while at the same time boosting public investment.

description: Simulations suggest collisionless steady-state magnetic reconnection of Harris-type current sheets proceeds with a rate of order 0.1, independent of dissipation mechanism. We argue this long-standing puzzle is a result of constraints at the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) scale. We perform a scaling analysis of the reconnection rate as a function of the opening angle made by the upstream magnetic fields, finding a maximum reconnection rate close to 0.2. The predictions compare favorably to particle-in-cell simulations of relativistic electron-positron and non-relativistic electron-proton reconnection. The fact that simulated reconnection rates are close to the predicted maximum suggests reconnection proceeds near the most efficient state allowed at the MHD-scale. The rate near the maximum is relatively insensitive to the opening angle, potentially explaining why reconnection has a similar fast rate in differing models.

Double-step truncation procedure for large-scale shell-model calculations

description: We present a procedure that is helpful to reduce the computational complexity of large-scale shell-model calculations, by preserving as much as possible the role of the rejected degrees of freedom in an effective approach. Our truncation is driven first by the analysis of the effective single-particle energies of the original large-scale shell-model hamiltonian, so to locate the relevant degrees of freedom to describe a class of isotopes or isotones, namely the single-particle orbitals that will constitute a new truncated model space. The second step is to perform an unitary transformation of the original hamiltonian from its model space into the truncated one. This transformation generates a new shell-model hamiltonian, defined in a smaller model space, that retains effectively the role of the excluded single-particle orbitals. As an application of this procedure, we have chosen a realistic shell-model hamiltonian defined in a large model space, set up by seven and five proton and neutron single-particle orbitals outside 88Sr, respectively. We study the dependence of shell-model results upon different truncations of the original model space for the Zr, Mo, Ru, Pd, Cd, and Sn isotopic chains, showing the reliability of this truncation procedure.

Reactions with a 10Be beam to study the one-neutron halo nucleus 11Be

description: Halo nuclei are excellent examples of few-body systems consisting of a core and weakly-bound halo nucleons. Where there is only one nucleon in the halo, as in 11Be, the many-body problem can be reduced to a two-body problem. The contribution of the 1s1/2 orbital to the ground state configuration in 11Be, characterized by the spectroscopic factor, S, has been extracted from direct reaction data by many groups over the past five decades with discrepant results. An experiment was performed at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility using a 10Be primary beam at four different energies with the goal of resolving the discrepancy through a consistent analysis of elastic, inelastic, and transfer channels. Faddeev-type calculations, released after the publication of the experimental results, show that dynamic core excitation in the transfer process can lead to reduced differential cross sections at higher beam energies. This reduction would lead to the extraction of decreasing values of S with increasing beam energy. A 10Be(d,p) measurement at Ed greater than 25 MeV is necessary to investigate the effects of core excitation in the reaction.
