Subjet Multiplicity of Gluon and Quark Jets Reconstructed with the $k_{\perp}$ Algorithm in $p\bar{p}$ Collisions

description: The D0 Collaboration has studied for the first time the properties of hadron-collider jets reconstructed with a successive-combination algorithm based on relative transverse momenta ($k_{\perp}$) of energy clusters. Using the standard value D = 1.0 of the jet-separation parameter in the $k_{\perp}$ algorithm, we find that the $p_T$ of such jets is higher than the $E_T$ of matched jets reconstructed with cones of radius R = 0.7, by about 5 (8) GeV at $p_T \approx 90$ (240) GeV. To examine internal jet structure, the $k_{\perp}$ algorithm is applied within D = 0.5 jets to resolve any subjets. The multiplicity of subjets in jet samples at $\sqrt{s} = 1800$ GeV and 630 GeV is extracted separately for gluons ($M_g$) and quarks ($M_q$), and the ratio of average subjet multiplicities in gluon and quark jets is measured as $(M_{g} - 1) / (M_{q} - 1) = 1.84 \pm 0.15 (stat.) \pm ^{0.22}_{0.18} (sys.)$. This ratio is in agreement with the expectations from the HERWIG Monte Carlo event generator and a resummation calculation, and with observations in $e^+e^-$ annihilations, and is close to the naive prediction for the ratio of color charges of $C_A/C_F = 9/4 = 2.25$.

On the effect of surface recombination in thin film solar cells, light emitting diodes and photodetectors

description: Radiative and non-radiative charge carrier recombination in thin-film diodes plays a key role in determining the efficiency of electronic devices made of next generation semiconductors such as organic, perovskite and nanocrystals. In this work, we show that lowering the bulk recombination does not necessarily result in enhanced performance metrics of electronic devices. From the perspective of charge carrier extraction and injection, the radiative limit of the open-circuit voltage of solar cells, noise current of photodetectors and lasing threshold of injection lasers cannot be improved if the contacts are not perfectly selective. A numerical drift-diffusion model is used to investigate the interplay between bulk recombination and surface recombination of minority carriers at the contacts in bipolar thin diode devices based on low-mobility semiconductors. The surface recombination becomes prominent in case of reduced bulk recombination strengths when non-selective contacts, i. e. contacts that are either metallic or have imperfect charge-selective interlayer, are employed. Finally, we derive analytical approximations for the case when diffusion-limited surface recombination of minority carriers at Ohmic contacts dominates the dark current. These results indicate that having perfectly selective contacts becomes crucial in systems with suppressed bulk recombination - a challenging requirement for future state-of-the-art thin-film solar cells, light-emitting devices and photodetectors made of next generation semiconductors.
Measurement of the Mass and Width of the W Boson in e+e- Collisions at sqrt(s) = 189 GeV

description: A measurement of the W mass and width has been performed by the DELPHI collaboration using the data collected during 1998. The data sample has an integrated luminosity of 155 pb^{-1} and an average centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV. Results are obtained by applying the method of direct reconstruction of the mass of the W from its decay products in both the W+W- -> lvqq and W+W- -> qqqq channels. The W mass result for the 1998 data set is M_W = 80.387 +/- 0.087 (stat) +/- 0.034 (syst) +/- 0.017 (LEP) +/- 0.035 (FSI) GeV/c2, where FSI represents the uncertainty due to final state interaction effects in the qqqq channel, and LEP represents that arising from the knowledge of the beam energy of the accelerator. Combining this result with those previously published by the DELPHI collaboration gives the result M_W = 80.359 +/- 0.074 (stat) +/- 0.032 (syst) +/- 0.017 (LEP) +/- 0.033 (FSI) GeV/c2. The combined value for the W width is Γ_W = 2.266 +/- 0.176 (stat) +/- 0.056 (syst) +/- 0.052 (FSI) GeV/c2.

description: Ridesharing has been emerging as a new type of mobility. However, the early promises of ridesharing for alleviating congestion in cities may be undermined by a number of challenges, including the growing number of proposed services and the subsequent increasing number of vehicles, as a natural consequence of competition. In this work, we present optimization-based approaches to model cooperation and competition between multiple ridesharing companies, in a real-time on-demand setting. A recent trend relies on solving the integrated combination of Dial-A-Ride Problems (DARP), which compute the cost of assigning incoming requests to vehicle routes, plus Linear Assignment Problems (LAP), which assign vehicles to requests. While the DARPs, are solved at the level of the vehicles of each company, we introduce cooperative and competitive approaches to solve the LAP. The cooperative model, which could make use of Mobility as a Service platforms, is shown to solve the LAP to optimality following closely results from the literature, and limiting the amount of information the companies are required to share. We investigate how a realistic model of competition deviates from this optimality and provide worst case bounds. We evaluate these models with respect to a centralized model on one-week instances of the New York City taxi dataset. Model variants coping with noise in the travel time estimations, bias in the assignment costs, and preferences in the competitive case are also presented and validated. The computational results suggest that cooperation among ridesharing companies can be conducted in such a way to limit the degradation of the level of service with respect to a centralized model. Finally, we argue that the competition can lower the quality of the ridesharing service, especially in the case customer preferences are accommodated.

description: In this working paper we demonstrate that some of the statistical tests used by Huang and Smith in a recent Land Economics article (74(2 1998): 186-202) were erroneous, and raise concerns about their corresponding conclusions. Specifically, using data from one of the studies that they showcase, we demonstrate that Huang and Smith’s analysis suggesting statistical equality between hypothetical dichotomous choice responses and actual contributions is incorrect. We further show that their purported equality between dichotomous choice and open-ended response formats is unfounded. Based on these analyses we conclude that when real humans make real or stated decisions, the observed procedural variance across elicitation methods and the degree of hypothetical bias are more fundamental than relying on alternative econometric specifications.

(Figs. 19, 181, 185, 233)
 Description. As described for P. baorucensis sp. nov., with the following differences:
Fore leg with femur usually entirely yellow to orange, occasionally brown with a diffuse yellow area apically, but not distinctly banded.
 Wing with 2 white spots on CuA 1 (rarely 1 or 3).
 Male postabdomen very similar to that of P. baorucensis. Posterior lobe of postgonite slightly more pointed. Distiphallus longer, with smooth dorsal tube projecting clearly past flanking spike (Fig. 181).
 Female postabdomen as described for P. baorucensis.
 Type material. Holotype ♂: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Independencia: La Descubierta, 32 km NW, Sabana Real, 1800 m, cloud forest, carrion traps, 26 Nov – 5 Dec 1991, S. & J. Peck, debu01039226 (DEBU). Paratypes: same data as holotype (12 ♂, 26 ♀, DEBU); as above but trail sweep, 26 Nov 1991, Masner & Peck (1 ♀, DEBU); La Descubierta, 30 km NW, Sabana Real, 1646 m, 25 Nov–5 Dec 1991, S. & J. Peck (7 ♂, DEBU); as above but cloud forest, dung traps, 25 Nov–5 Dec 1991 (34 ♂, 43 ♀, DEBU); as above but carrion, 25 Sep–5 Dec 1991 (7 ♀, DEBU); La Vega: La Ciénega, human dung cups, 11–13 Jan 1989, S.A. Marshall (2 ♂, DEBU); as above but 13– 22 Jan 1989 (1 ♂, 3 ♀, DEBU).
 Comments. The species name refers to the Dominican Republic. It is apparently allopatric from P. baorucensis —see that species for discussion. Like that species, P. dominicus may also occur in Haiti where similar habitats have been conserved. There is a single specimen labelled as being from Trinidad in DEBU; it is presumably mislabelled, and it is unlikely this species occurs outside of Hispaniola.

description: Numerical evaluation of the overlap Dirac operator is difficult since it contains the sign function $ε(H_w)$ of the Hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator $H_w$ with a negative mass term. The problems are due to $H_w$ having very small eigenvalues on the equilibrium background configurations generated in current day Monte Carlo simulations. Since these are a consequence of the lattice discretisation and do not occur in the continuum version of the operator, we investigate in this paper to what extent the numerical evaluation of the overlap can be accelerated by making the Wilson-Dirac operator more continuum-like. Specifically, we study the effect of including the clover term in the Wilson-Dirac operator and smearing the link variables in the irrelevant terms. In doing so, we have obtained a factor of two speedup by moving from the Wilson action to a FLIC (Fat Link Irrelevant Clover) action as the overlap kernel.

Wage differentials and labour market segmentation in Indonesian manufacturing
Creators: name: Manning, Christopher Gibson
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979
Subjects: subject: Wages Indonesia
subject: Labor supply Indonesia

description: This thesis examines the nature and causes of wage differentials in Indonesian manufacturing. It is mainly concerned with the impact of recent 'modern' sector growth on the wage structure. It especially concentrates on the influence of new technology and foreign ownership on wage differentials. Several hypotheses are investigated. These attempt to evaluate the effect of internal labour markets, human capital and institutional influences (government and trade union) on wage differentials according to capital intensity. The empirical analysis is based on an examination of secondary data and more general influences on the wage structure, and a field survey of three industries - weaving, kretek and cigarettes - in Java. Three major conclusions emerge from the study. First, the labour market in Indonesia appears to be quite highly segmented. Labour market segmentation was reflected in large wage differentials, different worker characteristics and low levels of mobility between various segments of the labour market. These were closely related to capital intensity and foreign ownership. Second, variations in wages according to capital intensity and foreign ownership in the three industries were a consequence mainly of the influence of internal labour markets and human capital factors. These two groups of factors were closely interrelated in their effect on wages. It may not be meaningful to pose the question whether human capital or internal labour market factors mainly contribute to wage differentials because of these interrelationships. Third, the study suggests that institutional influences may have been given too much attention in the literature on wage differentials in less developed countries. These differentials may be inherent in patterns of economic development in which rapid technological change and foreign ownership play a central role.

description: We report the electronic structure and magnetic ordering of the single molecule magnet [Mn$_{10}$O$_{4}$(2,2'-biphenoxide)$_{4}$Br$_{12}$]$^{4-}$ based on first-principles all-electron density-functional calculations. We find that two of the ten core Mn atoms are coupled antiferromagnetically to the remaining eight, resulting in a ferrimagnetic ground state with total spin S=13. The calculated magnetic anisotropy barrier is found to be 9 K in good agreement with experiment. The presence of the Br anions impact the electronic structure and therefore the magnetic properties of the 10 Mn atoms. However, the electric field due to the negative charges has no significant effect on the magnetic anisotropy.

description: Until recently, the only way to observe the Universe was from light received by telescopes. But we are now able to measure gravitational waves, which are ripples in the fabric of the Universe predicted by Albert Einstein. If two very dense objects (like black holes) orbit each other closely, they warp space and send out gravitational waves. For black holes that are similar in mass to the Sun, scientists use the LIGO detector on Earth. But for the biggest black holes in the Universe (billions of times more massive than the Sun), scientists monitor a net of rapidly-spinning neutron stars (called pulsars) across the Milky Way. Any gravitational wave passing by will change how long radio signals from these pulsars take to get to Earth. The NANOGrav Collaboration monitored 34 of these pulsars over 11 years, in an attempt to detect gravitational waves from giant black holes.

description: Development economics nowadays is mainstream economics applied to poor countries. An examination of the core principles of mainstream economics reveals tremendous strengths, but also tremendous weaknesses. Other disciplines, such as sociology, anthropology and political science, have complementary strengths that suggest a role for them as equal partners in development studies and policy. The argument for a partnership of disciplines is logical and strong. But cross-disciplinarity is not easy in practice. It is best achieved through concrete exercises which demonstrate exactly how “two disciplines are better than one” when analyzing specific policy issues in development.

description: The description of electromagnetic reactions at intermediate energies, such as pion electroproduction or (virtual) Compton scattering, traditionally starts from covariant tree-level Feynman diagrams (Born or pole terms). Internal hadron structure is included by means of (on-shell) form factors in the vertices while free propagators are used. To overcome problems with gauge invariance, simple prescriptions such as choosing $F_1^V (q^2) = F_π (q^2)$ in pion electroproduction or the ``minimal substitution'' are used. We discuss the limitations of such approaches by comparing to the most general structure of electromagnetic vertices and propagators for pions and nucleons. The recipes to enforce gauge invariance are critically examined and contrasted with the exact treatment. The interplay between off-shell effects and irreducible ``contact'' terms is demonstrated for real Compton scattering on a pion. The need for a consistent microscopic treatment of reaction amplitudes is stressed. Shortcomings of minimal substitution are illustrated through an example in the framework of chiral perturbation theory.

description: We study the stroboscopic dynamics of a spin-$S$ object subjected to $δ$-function kicking in the transverse magnetic field which is generated following the Fibonacci sequence. The corresponding classical Hamiltonian map is constructed in the large spin limit, $S \rightarrow \infty$. Upon evolving such a map for large kicking strength and time period, the phase space appears to be chaotic; interestingly, however, the geodesic distance increases linearly with the stroboscopic time implying that the Lyapunov exponent is zero. We derive the Sutherland invariant for the underlying $SO(3)$ matrix governing the dynamics of classical spin variables and study the orbits for weak kicking strength. For the quantum dynamics, we observe that although the phase coherence of a state is retained throughout the time evolution, the fluctuations in the mean values of the spin operators exhibit fractality which is also present in the Floquet eigenstates. Interestingly, the presence of an interaction with another spin results in an ergodic dynamics leading to infinite temperature thermalization.

description: We first show that the pions produced at high $p_T$ in heavy-ion collisions over a wide range of high energies exhibit a scaling behavior when the distributions are plotted in terms of a scaling variable. We then use the recombination model to calculate the scaling quark distribution just before hadronization. From the quark distribution it is then possible to calculate the proton distribution at high $p_T$, also in the framework of the recombination model. The resultant $p/π$ ratio exceeds one in the intermediate $p_T$ region where data exist, but the scaling result for the proton distribution is not reliable unless $p_T$ is high enough to be insensitive to the scale-breaking mass effects.

description: Two methods for calibrating discrete choice contingent valuation responses – the dichotomous choice with followup certainty question method of Champ et al. (1997) and the multiple bounded method of Welsh and Poe (1998) – are evaluated using data from a field validity comparison of hypothetical and actual participation decisions in a green electricity pricing program. Both calibration methods can produce hypothetical participation levels that closely correspond with actual program participation rates. However, the two methods demonstrate procedural variance as they yield significantly different underlying distributions of willingness to pay.

description: We consider 2D surface superconductivity in high magnetic fields parallel to the surface. We demonstrate that the spin-orbit interaction at the surface changes the properties of the inhomogeneous superconducting Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fulde-Ferrell state that develops above fields given by the paramagnetic criterion. Strong spin-orbit interaction significantly broadens the range of existence of the LOFF phase, which takes the form of periodic superconducting stripes running along the field direction on the surface, leading to the anisotropy of its properties. In connection with experiments by J.H. Schon et al. [Nature 914, 434 (2001)] on superconductivity of electrically doped films of the cuprate material CaCuO2, we also discuss this problem for the d-wave pairing to indicate the possibility of a re-orientation transition as the magnetic field direction is rotated in the plane parallel to the surface. Our results provide a tool for studying surface superconductivity as a function of doping.

description: The action of the overlap-Dirac operator on a vector is typically implemented in directly through a multi-shift conjugate gradient solver. The compute-time this takes to evaluate depends upon the condition number $κ$ of the matrix that is used as the overlap kernel. We examine the low-lying spectra of various candidate kernels in an effort to optimise $κ$, thereby speeding up the overlap evaluation.

description: The variation of the coherent branching ratio $R_{μe}$ (ratio of the $μ^-\to e^-$ reaction rate divided by the total muon-capture rate) through the periodic table is studied by using exact muon wave functions. It was found that, by using very heavy nuclei (e.g. \nuc{197}Au, the SINDRUM II target) as $μ^-\to e^-$ conversion stopping-targets, the above ratio is favored by a factor of about four to five than by using light ones (e.g. \nuc{48}Ti, chosen as PRIME target).

The Pulsating Eclipsing Binary TIC 309658221 in a 7.59 Day Orbit

description: We present a new eclipsing binary (EB) showing multiperiodic oscillations using the first three sectors of {\it TESS} photometry. The eclipse and pulsation light curves of TIC 309658221 were modeled using an iterative method to obtain a consistent photometric solution. The {\it TESS} target is a circular-orbit, detached binary system with a mass ratio of 0.349, an inclination angle of 80.42 deg, and a temperature difference of 847 K between the components. The primary component of the system lies near the red edge of the $δ$ Sct instability region on the main-sequence band in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. Multiple frequency analyses were applied to the eclipse-subtracted residuals after removing the binary effects in the observed data. These resulted in the detection of 26 frequencies, of which $f_1-f_6$ were independent pulsation frequencies. The 20 other frequencies could be mainly caused by orbital harmonics ($f_8$ and $f_{11}$) or combination frequencies. The period ratios and pulsation constants of the $f_1-f_6$ frequencies are in the ranges of $P_{\rm pul}/P_{\rm orb}$ = 0.010$-$0.013 and Q = 0.027$-$0.036 days, respectively, which are typical of $δ$ Sct type. The results reveal that TIC 309658221 is an eclipsing $δ$ Sct star with an orbital period of 7.5952 days and pulsation frequencies of 9.94$-$13.01 day$^{-1}$. This work demonstrates that the 2-min cadence observations of {\it TESS} are very useful for the study of pulsating EBs with multiple frequencies and low amplitudes.

Kerman-Klein-Donau-Frauendorf model for odd-odd nuclei: formal theory

description: The Kerman-Klein-Donau-Frauendorf (KKDF) model is a linearized version of the Kerman-Klein (equations of motion) formulation of the nuclear many-body problem. In practice, it is a generalization of the standard core-particle coupling model that, like the latter, provides a description of the spectroscopy of odd nuclei in terms of the properties of neighboring even nuclei and of single-particle properties, that are the input parameters of the model. A divers sample of recent applications attest to the usefulness of the model. In this paper, we first present a concise general review of the fundamental equations and properties of the KKDF model. We then derive a corresponding formalism for odd-odd nuclei that relates their properties to those of four neighboring even nuclei, all of which enter if one is to include both multipole and pairing forces. We treat these equations in two ways. In the first we make essential use of the solutions of the neighboring odd nucleus problem, as obtained by the KKDF method. In the second, we relate the properties of the odd-odd nuclei directly to those of the even nuclei. For both choices, we derive equations of motion, normalization conditions, and an expression for transition amplitudes. We also solve the problem of choosing the subspace of physical solutions that arises in an equations of motion approach that includes pairing interactions.

description: We explore the scalar field quintessence freezing model of dark energy with the inverse Ratra-Peebles potential. We study the cosmic expansion and the large scale structure growth rate. We use recent measurements of the growth rate and the baryon acoustic oscillation peak positions to constrain the matter density $Ω_\mathrm{m}$ parameter and the model parameter $α$ that describes the steepness of the scalar field potential. We solve jointly the equations for the background expansion and for the growth rate of matter perturbations. The obtained theoretical results are compared with the observational data. We perform the Baysian data analysis to derive constraints on the model parameters.

description: A search for muon anti-neutrino to electron anti-neutrino oscillations was conducted by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center using muon anti-neutrinos from positive muon decay at rest. A total excess of 87.9 +/- 22.4 +/- 6.0 events consistent with electron anti-neutrino plus proton scattering to positron plus neutron was observed above the expected background. This excess corresponds to an oscillation probability of (0.264 +/- 0.067 +/- 0.045), which is consistent with an earlier analysis. In conjunction with other known limits on neutrino oscillations, the LSND data suggest that neutrino oscillations occur in the 0.2-10 eV^2/c^4 Delta-m^2 range, indicating a neutrino mass greater than 0.4 eV/c^2.
