description: We study the entangling properties of multipartite unitary gates with respect to the measure of entanglement called one-tangle. Putting special emphasis on the case of three parties, we derive an analytical expression for the entangling power of an $n$-partite gate as an explicit function of the gate, linking the entangling power of gates acting on $n$-partite Hilbert space of dimension $d_1 \ldots d_n$ to the entanglement of pure states in the Hilbert space of dimension $(d_1 \ldots d_n)^2$. Furthermore, we evaluate its mean value averaged over the unitary and orthogonal groups, analyze the maximal entangling power and relate it to the absolutely maximally entangled (AME) states of a system with $2n$ parties. Finally, we provide a detailed analysis of the entangling properties of three-qubit unitary and orthogonal gates.

Moment equations for chemical reactions on interstellar dust grains

description: While most chemical reactions in the interstellar medium take place in the gas phase, those occurring on the surfaces of dust grains play an essential role. Chemical models based on rate equations including both gas phase and grain surface reactions have been used in order to simulate the formation of chemical complexity in interstellar clouds. For reactions in the gas phase and on large grains, rate equations, which are highly efficient to simulate, are an ideal tool. However, for small grains under low flux, the typical number of atoms or molecules of certain reactive species on a grain may go down to order one or less. In this case the discrete nature of the opulations of reactive species as well as the fluctuations become dominant, thus the mean-field approximation on which the rate equations are based does not apply. Recently, a master equation approach, that provides a good description of chemical reactions on interstellar dust grains, was proposed. Here we present a related approach based on moment equations that can be obtained from the master equation. These equations describe the time evolution of the moments of the distribution of the population of the various chemical species on the grain. An advantage of this approach is the fact that the production rates of molecular species are expressed directly in terms of these moments. Here we use the moment equations to calculate the rate of molecular hydrogen formation on small grains. It is shown that the moment equation approach is efficient in this case in which only a single reactive specie is involved. The set of equations for the case of two species is presented and the difficulties in implementing this approach for complex reaction networks involving multiple species are discussed.

description: Within the Hubbard-Holstein model with long-range Coulomb forces, we revisit the charge-ordering scenario for the superconducting cuprates and account for the presence or the absence of a formed stripe phase in different classes of cuprates. We also evaluate the mean-field and the fluctuation-corrected critical lines for charge ordering and we relate them with the various pseudogap crossover lines occurring in the cuprates and we discuss a mechanism for their peculiar isotopic dependence. Considering the dynamical nature of the charge-ordering transition, we explain the spread of T* and of its isotopic shift, obtained with experimental probes with different characteristic time scales.

description: Durch eine Forschungsarbeit in den Städten Berlin, Hamburg, Köln und Leipzig werden acht zentrale Erkenntnisse aus der kommunalen Religionspolitik beschrieben. Eine zentrale Erkenntnis ist dabei, dass Religionsgemeinschaften trotz Säkularisierungsprozessen im öffentlichen Leben präsent bleiben und von Politik und Verwaltung auf lokaler Ebene positiv wahrgenommen werden. Darüber hinaus ist eine komplementäre Rolle von Community Organizing festzustellen, das durch ritualisierte Abläufe auch diejenigen Menschen und Organisationen integriert, die sonst nicht gehört werden. Zudem spielen die beiden Großkirchen durch ihre Ressourcen und ihre Stellung im deutschen Staatssystem eine wichtige Rolle für die Einbindung oder Exklusion anderer Religionsgemeinschaft. Dies kann als Ansatzpunkt für die Pastoraltheologie produktiv aufgegriffen werden.

A research study conducted in the cities of Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and Leipzig identifies eight key findings in local religious policy. A central insight is that religious organizations, despite secularization processes, remain present in public life and are positively perceived by local politics and administration. Additionally, the complementary role of Community Organizing is evident, as it integrates people and organizations through ritualized processes that would otherwise go unheard. The two mainline churches, due to their resources and their position in the German state, play a crucial role in the inclusion or exclusion of other religious communities. This presents a productive starting point for pastoral theology.

description: The current globalization is faced to the rapid development of product design process with the different structure of the actor relationships in the process. Currently, the risk in the failure relationship among different actors in the project is shaped by the complexity towards the future all kinds of challenges. When it comes to the interdependent failure effect, the risk management for future organization structure in design process will be much more complex to grasp. In order to cope with adaption of Product-Process-Organization (P-P-O) model for industry of the future, we propose a risk management methodology to cope with this interdependent relationship structure. The main objective of this research is to manage the risks, so that the project manager can find the priority order of all the actors' total effect to the project with the consideration of interdependent failure affection, and according to the order, project manager can release corresponding respond measures.

Sensitivity Analysis of Normative Economic Models: Theoretical Framework and Practical Strategies

Year: 1996
Subjects: Production Economics

description: The parameter values and assumptions of any economic model are subject to change and error. Sensitivity analysis (SA), broadly defined, is the investigation of these potential changes and errors and their impacts on conclusions to be drawn from the model. There is a very large literature on procedures and techniques for SA, but it includes almost nothing from economists. This paper is a selective review and overview of theoretical and methodological issues in SA. There are many possible uses of SA, described here within the categories of decision support; communication; increased understanding or quantification of the system; and model development. The paper focuses somewhat on decision support. It is argued that even the simplest approaches to SA can be theoretically respectable in decision support if they are applied and interpreted in a way consistent with Bayesian decision theory. This is not to say that SA results should be formally subjected to a Bayesian decision analysis, but that an understanding of Bayesian probability revision will help the modeller plan and interpret a SA. Many different approaches to SA are described, varying in the experimental design used and in the way results are processed. Possible overall strategies for conducting SA are suggested. It is proposed that when using SA for decision support, it can be very helpful to attempt to identify which of the following forms of recommendation is most appropriate: (a) do X, (b) do either X or Y depending on the circumstances, (c) do either X or Y, whichever you like, (d) if in doubt, do X. A system for reporting and discussing SA results is recommended.

description: Hipparcos observations of some variable stars, and especially of long-period (e.g. Mira) variables, reveal a motion of the photocenter correlated with the brightness variation ({variability-induced mover -- VIM), suggesting the presence of a binary companion. A re-analysis of the Hipparcos photometric and astrometric data does not confirm the VIM solution for 62 among the 288 VIM objects (21%) in the Hipparcos catalogue. Most of these 288 VIMs are long-period (e.g. Mira) variables (LPV). The effect of a revised chromaticity correction, which accounts for the color variations along the light cycle, was then investigated. It is based on `instantaneous' $V-I$ color indices derived from Hipparcos and Tycho-2 epoch photometry. Among the 188 LPVs flagged as VIM in the Hipparcos catalogue, 89 (47%) are not confirmed as VIM after this improved chromaticity correction is applied. This dramatic decrease in the number of VIM solutions is not surprising, since the chromaticity correction applied by the Hipparcos reduction consortia was based on a fixed $V-I$ color. Astrophysical considerations lead us to adopt a more stringent criterion for accepting a VIM solution (first-kind risk of 0.27% instead of 10% as in the Hipparcos catalogue). With this more severe criterion, only 27 LPV stars remain VIM, thus rejecting 161 of the 188 (86%) of the LPVs defined as VIMs in the Hipparcos catalogue.

description: Recent work suggests women authors experience more abuse in online comments than men, but we do not know whether these abusive comments affect people’s perceptions. Given renewed interest in the experience of women online, we ask: does exposure to abusive comments affect perceptions of women authors’ credibility? And does this penalty extend to the outlet? To answer these questions, we employed a survey experiment which manipulated exposure to an abusive comment, and author gender. We found a significant effect for the abusive comment on author credibility and intention to seek news from the author and outlet in the future, but gender of the author did not moderate these effects. To ensure the null effects for gender were not an artifact of comment or topic, we fielded two additional survey experiments. Across topics, whether the abuse was gendered or gender-specific, we found abusive comments exert significant negative effects on evaluations, regardless of author gender. Our results have implications for news organizations considering comments.

description: We study the structure of the four-point correlation function of the lowest-dimension 1/2 BPS operators (stress-tensor multiplets) in the (2,0) six-dimensional theory. We first discuss the superconformal Ward identities and the group-theoretical restrictions on the corresponding OPE. We show that the general solution of the Ward identities is expressed in terms of a single function of the two conformal cross-ratios ("prepotential"). Using the maximally extended gauged seven-dimensional supergravity, we then compute the four-point amplitude in the supergravity approximation and identify the corresponding prepotential. We analyze the leading terms in the OPE by performing a conformal partial wave expansion and show that they are in agreement with the non-renormalization theorems following from representation theory. The investigation of the (2,0) theory is carried out in close parallel with the familiar four-dimensional N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory.

Fragiles Wir und ambige Gastfreundschaft

description: Zwischenmenschliche Kommunikation ist ein überaus voraussetzungsreiches Geschehen, das mit einer grundlegenden Differenz zwischen Ich und Du, Eigenem und Fremdem umgehen muss. Die Differenz zwischen diesen Polen lässt sich niemals völlig ausräumen. Sie macht Kollektivierungsprozesse fragil und riskant. Ein affirmativer Zugang zur Fremdheit wird vor diesem Hintergrund unselbstverständlich. Das gilt auch für die Gastfreundschaft, die in vielen Religionen als Tugend hochgeschätzt wird. Der Beitrag nimmt diese Konstellation zum Anlass für eine kurze theologische Analyse der Gastfreundschaft.

 

Interpersonal communication is a very complex process that must deal with a fundamental difference between 'I' and 'You', the familiar and the foreign. The difference between these poles can never be completely eliminated. It makes processes of collectivization fragile and risky. Against this background, an affirmative approach to foreignness becomes questionable. This also applies to hospitality, which is
highly valued as a virtue in many religions. This contribution takes this constellation as an occasion for a short theological analysis of hospitality.

description: The distribution of the cosmic convergence field is modeled using a large-deviation principle where all non-Gaussian contributions are computed from first principles. The geometry of the past light cone is accounted for by constructing the total weak-lensing signal from contributions of the matter density in thin disk slices. The prediction of this model is successfully tested against numerical simulation with ray tracing, and found to be accurate within at least 5 per cent in the tails at redshift 1 and opening angle of 10 arcmin and even more so with increasing source redshift and opening angle. An accurate analytical approximation to the theory is also provided for practical implementation. The lensing kernel that mixes physical scales along the line-of-sight tends to reduce the domain of validity of this theoretical approach compared to the three dimensional case of cosmic densities in spherical cells. This effect is shown to be avoidable if a nulling procedure is implemented in order to localise the lensing line-of-sight integrations in a tomographic analysis. Accuracy in the tails is thus achieved within a percent for source redshifts between 0.5 and 1.5 and an opening angle of 10 arcmin. Applications to future weak-lensing surveys like Euclid and the specific issue of shape noise are discussed.

description: An important cause of deforestation in arid and semi-arid countries is the overcutting of forests for domestic fuel and agricultural use. This paper constructs a dynamic model of deforestation in Sudan and compares optimally managed forests with common property forests. The optimal management plan was calculated with an optimal control model solved with non-linear programming. The common property plan was calculated with a simulation model. Results show that the optimal management plan maintains the stock of trees whereas the common property plan exhausts the stock of trees. Agricultural yields first increase and then decrease with increasing deforestation. The value of the optimally managed forest was 25% higher than that of the common property forest.

The limitations of computer simulations are discussed, with a particular focus on the factors that may influence the reliability of this kind of simulations.

Was übrig bleibt vom kirchlichen Wir

Year: 2025

description: Die Reflexion von Fragmentarität im Kontext verschiedener theologischer Disziplinen bildet den Ausgangspunkt des Artikels. In einer text- und archivgeschichtlichen Bestimmung wird zunächst deutlich, dass ein Fragment kaum isoliert verständlich ist, sondern meist nur im Verhältnis mit einem Ganzen interpretiert werden kann. Die zeichenhafte Verweisfunktion verbindet das Fragment mit dem Sakramentsbegriff. Anhand von Ergebnissen aus der papyrologischen Forschung wird die Unterscheidung von Überrest, Müll und Fragment diskutiert und auf die ekklesiologische Frage nach vergangenen, gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Repräsentationen eines kirchlichen Wir angewendet. Die Fragmentarität des kirchlichen Wir tritt besonders in der Archivfunktion von Kirchengebäuden und deren räumlichen Transformationen in säkularer werdenden Gesellschaften in einem anderen Medium hervor. Schließlich wird die Fähigkeit zur Imagination dessen, was in Zukunft vom kirchlichen Wir übrig bleibt, als eine systematisch-theologische Fragmentaritätskompetenz reflektiert.

 

This article begins by reflecting on the concept of fragmentarity within various theological disciplines. Based on approaches from textual and archival studies, it is shown that a fragment is rarely comprehensible in isolation and typically requires interpretation in relation to a larger whole. The symbolic referential function of the fragment is linked to the concept of the sacrament. Drawing on insights from papyrological research, the distinction between remnant, waste and fragment is explored and applied to the ecclesiological question of past, present and future representations of the ecclesial “we”. The fragmentarity of the ecclesial “we” is particularly manifest in the archival role of church buildings and their spatial transformations in increasingly secular societies, where it appears in a new medium. Finally, the ability to imagine what might remain of the ecclesial “we” in the future is seen as a systematic theological competence in dealing with fragmentarity.

description: Abstract: Background: Macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) is a rare, heritable and largely untreatable retinal disorder, often comorbid with diabetes. Genetic risk loci subtend retinal vascular calibre and glycine/serine/threonine metabolism genes. Serine deficiency may contribute to MacTel via neurotoxic deoxysphingolipid production; however, an independent vascular contribution is also suspected. Here, we use statistical genetics to dissect the causal mechanisms underpinning this complex disease. Methods: We integrated genetic markers for MacTel, vascular and metabolic traits, and applied Mendelian randomisation and conditional and interaction genome-wide association analyses to discover the causal contributors to both disease and spatial retinal imaging sub-phenotypes. Results: Genetically induced serine deficiency is the primary causal metabolic driver of disease occurrence and progression, with a lesser, but significant, causal contribution of type 2 diabetes genetic risk. Conversely, glycine, threonine and retinal vascular traits are unlikely to be causal for MacTel. Conditional regression analysis identified three novel disease loci independent of endogenous serine biosynthetic capacity. By aggregating spatial retinal phenotypes into endophenotypes, we demonstrate that SNPs constituting independent risk loci act via related endophenotypes. Conclusions: Follow-up studies after GWAS integrating publicly available data with deep phenotyping are still rare. Here, we describe such analysis, where we integrated retinal imaging data with MacTel and other traits genomics data to identify biochemical mechanisms likely causing this disorder. Our findings will aid in early diagnosis and accurate prognosis of MacTel and improve prospects for effective therapeutic intervention. Our integrative genetics approach also serves as a useful template for post-GWAS analyses in other disorders.
Simulation of nonlinear Compton scattering from bound electrons

description: Recent investigations by Fuchs et al. [Nat. Phys. 11, 964 (2015)] revealed an anomalous frequency shift in non-linear Compton scattering of high-intensity X-rays by electrons in solid beryllium. This frequency shift was at least 800 eV to the red of the values predicted by analytical free-electron models for the same process. In this paper, we describe a method for simulating non-linear Compton scattering. The method is applied to the case of bound electrons in a local, spherical potential to explore the role of binding energy in the frequency shift of scattered X-rays for different scattered angles. The results of the calculation do not exhibit an additional redshift for the scattered X-rays beyond the non-linear Compton shift predicted by the free-electron model. However, it does reveal a small blue-shift relative to the free electron prediction for non-linear Compton scattering. The effect of electron-electron correlation effects is calculated and determined to be unlikely to be the source of the redshift. The case of linear Compton scattering from a photoionized electron followed by electron recapture is examined as a possible source of the redshift and ruled out.

description: We study the decays Bu -> l nu and Bc -> l nu in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with explicit R parity violation. We analyse the correlation between the two decays and show that branching ratios (BRs) for Bc -> l nu may be of order 5% (over 40% in one case), without violating current bounds on Bu -> l nu. Although Bc mesons are inaccessible at the e+e- B factories, such large BRs for Bc -> l nu would possibly be within experimental observability at LEP and the Tevatron Run II, with much larger yields expected at the hadronic B factories. We also update some earlier bounds on products of R parity violating couplings in the light of new experimental results.

Vom Wirtschaftsstil zum Agilen Management

description: Im Beitrag wird zunächst nach der semantischen Funktion von „Wir“ gefragt – es gibt ein gemeinsames und ein trennendes Wir. Anschließend wird die Frage diskutiert, ob die Systemtheorie, die Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Ethik als Subsysteme betrachtet, die nicht miteinander in Verbindung gebracht werden können, haltbar ist. Mithilfe des Stilbegriffs, der in seiner modernen Form wesentlich von Alfred Müller-Armack geprägt wurde, wird ein wirtschaftsethische Zugang dargestellt, der die vermeintliche Systemtrennung zu überwinden hilft. Anschließend erfolgt die Überprüfung auf die Praxis und mit dem Ansatz des Agilen Management werden praxisorientierte Zugänge formuliert, die deutlich machen, dass die Systemtrennung allenfalls ein theoretisches (und zugleich subjektiv geprägtes) Konstrukt ist, das in der Theorie durch wirtschaftsethische Ansätze und in der Praxis durch das Agile Management überwunden werden kann.

The article first asks about the semantic function of “we” – there is a common and a dividing we. Then the question is discussed as to whether systems theory, which views economy and society, business and ethics as subsystems that cannot be linked to one another, is tenable. With the help of the concept of style, which in its modern form was largely coined by Alfred Müller-Armack, an approach to business ethics is presented that helps to overcome the supposed system separation. This is followed by a practical review and formulates practice-oriented approaches using the Agile Management approach, which make it clear that system separation is at best a theoretical (and at the same time subjective) construct, which is supported in theory by business ethics approaches and in practice
can be overcome through agile management.

description: Abstract: Background: Today an unprecedented amount of genetic sequence data is stored in publicly available repositories. For decades now, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been the workhorse of genetic studies, and as a result, there is a large volume of mtDNA data available in these repositories for a wide range of species. Indeed, whilst whole genome sequencing is an exciting prospect for the future, for most non-model organisms’ classical markers such as mtDNA remain widely used. By compiling existing data from multiple original studies, it is possible to build powerful new datasets capable of exploring many questions in ecology, evolution and conservation biology. One key question that these data can help inform is what happened in a species’ demographic past. However, compiling data in this manner is not trivial, there are many complexities associated with data extraction, data quality and data handling. Results: Here we present the mtDNAcombine package, a collection of tools developed to manage some of the major decisions associated with handling multi-study sequence data with a particular focus on preparing sequence data for Bayesian skyline plot demographic reconstructions. Conclusions: There is now more genetic information available than ever before and large meta-data sets offer great opportunities to explore new and exciting avenues of research. However, compiling multi-study datasets still remains a technically challenging prospect. The mtDNAcombine package provides a pipeline to streamline the process of downloading, curating, and analysing sequence data, guiding the process of compiling data sets from the online database GenBank.

description: Abstract: Secondary injuries remain an important cause of the morbidity and mortality associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Progression of cerebral contusions occurs in up to 75% of patients with TBI, and this contributes to subsequent clinical deterioration and requirement for surgical intervention. Despite this, the role of early clinical and radiological factors in predicting contusion progression remains relatively poorly defined due to studies investigating progression of all types of hemorrhagic injuries as a combined cohort. In this review, we summarize data from recent studies on factors which predict contusion progression, and the effect of contusion progression on clinical outcomes.
„Wir“ als Herausforderung für die Kontextualisierung theologischer Wissensproduktion
Creators: name: Straub, Dara
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Pastoraltheologie (ZPTh)
Year: 2025

description: „Wir“-Setzungen sind Selbstverständlichkeiten theologischen Schreibens und theologischer Wissensproduktion. Nichtsdestotrotz, gehen solche Setzungen mit einer gewissen Brisanz einher, wenn man bedenkt, dass jegliche Zugehörigkeits- oder Abgrenzungskategorien stets auch ein gewisses Risiko bergen, auszugrenzen und zu verschleiern. Der Artikel behandelt „Wir“-Setzungen als eine Form der Kontextualisierung theologischen Wissens, die häufig unbewusst geschieht und mit gewissen allgemeinen Risiken der Kontextualisierung einhergeht. Diese Risiken werden im Verlauf des Artikels dargestellt und schließlich mit der Kategorie der hauntedness (engl.) auf ihre Potenziale für eine Theologie hin analysiert, die den Anspruch hat, sich in den Dienst von je mehr Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit zu stellen.

 

Even though it is an omnipresent practice to invoke a (potentially undefined) “We” in theological writing, there is a risk to it, considering the exclusionary and concealing mechanisms that go along with any kind of declarations of belonging. The article unfolds the declaration of “We”s as a form of contextualising theological knowledge, that oftentimes happens unwittingly, while at the same time demonstrating challenges that go hand in hand with any kind of contextualisation. Ultimately these implications that come with presupposing “We”s are analyzed along the category of hauntedness, in order to access the potential this category holds for doing theology in service of ever more justice and equality.

description: Time-sync comment (TSC) is a new form of user-interaction review associated with real-time video contents, which contains a user's preferences for videos and therefore well suited as the data source for video recommendations. However, existing review-based recommendation methods ignore the context-dependent (generated by user-interaction), real-time, and time-sensitive properties of TSC data. To bridge the above gaps, in this paper, we use video images and users' TSCs to design an Image-Text Fusion model with a novel Herding Effect Attention mechanism (called ITF-HEA), which can predict users' favorite videos with model-based collaborative filtering. Specifically, in the HEA mechanism, we weight the context information based on the semantic similarities and time intervals between each TSC and its context, thereby considering influences of the herding effect in the model. Experiments show that ITF-HEA is on average 3.78\% higher than the state-of-the-art method upon F1-score in baselines.

„Wir“ in der Liturgie

description: Der Beitrag nimmt aus einer liturgiewissenschaftlichen Perspektive Konstruktionen des „Wir“ im Vollzug christlicher Gottesdienstpraxis in den Blick. Ausgehend von zentralen Diskursen um Identität und Kollektivität untersucht der Autor die Dimensionen ‚performativer Kollektivierung‘ in zwei Richtungen: als liturgisch-konfessionelle Bestimmung nach außen und als liturgische Rollendifferenzierung nach innen. In Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen Debatten um (rituelle) Macht stehen dabei besonders die Abgrenzungsstrategien kollektivierender Praktiken in römisch-katholischen und evangelisch-lutherischen Gottesdiensten im Mittelpunkt. Starre Konstruktionen des „Wir“ werden auf ihre theologische Tragfähigkeit hin untersucht und die zugrundeliegenden Machtmechanismen kritisch hinterfragt.

 

From the perspective of liturgical studies the article explores constructions of the “we” in the context of Christian worship. Starting with central discussions about identity and collectivity, the author analyzes the dimensions of 'performative collectivization' in two directions: as a liturgical-denominational identification to the outside, and as a liturgical role distinction to the inside. Engaging with current debates on (ritual) power, the article focuses on the demarcation strategies of collectivizing practices in Roman Catholic and Lutheran services. Rigid constructions of the “we” are examined for their theological viability and the underlying power mechanisms are critically questioned.

description: We study proton-gold collisions at RHIC energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) off-shell transport approach, investigating the influence of the intense electromagnetic fields generated in these small systems. We show the space-time evolution of the magnetic and electric components, emphasizing the huge values of the latter one, in particular the electric field $E_x$ along the impact parameter direction whose magnitude is comparable to the magnetic field $B_y$ perpendicular to the reaction plane. We find a fair agreement of the charged particle pseudorapidity density of the high-multiplicity events with respect to the experimental result of the PHENIX Collaboration. Focusing on the most central collision, we show rapidity distributions and spectra as well as the flow coefficients $v_1$ and $v_2$ and we discuss the impact of the electromagnetic fields on identified particle observables. We compute the directed flow $v_1$ of $π^+$, $π^-$, $K^+$, $K^-$ for collisions at fixed impact parameter and predict that an electromagnetically-induced splitting in the $v_1$ of positively and negatively charged particles is generated in the Au-going side of p+Au reaction mainly driven by the huge $E_x$ component. We find that this effect is stronger for the strange mesons and increases for increasing impact parameter. Furthermore, we highlight the amount of directed flow generated in the deconfined phase, finding that it constitutes the main contribution in the central rapidity region, especially for kaons. Thus, we support the idea that the directed flow is a promising probe for the electromagnetic fields generated in relativistic nuclear collisions and show that in proton-induced reactions the electric component along the impact parameter axis is the primary origin of a charge-odd $v_1$ of pions and kaons.

Search for First-Generation Scalar and Vector Leptoquarks

description: We describe a search for the pair production of first-generation scalar and vector leptoquarks in the eejj and enujj channels by the D0 Collaboration. The data are from the 1992--1996 ppbar run at sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We find no evidence for leptoquark production; in addition, no kinematically interesting events are observed using relaxed selection criteria. The results from the eejj and enujj channels are combined with those from a previous D0 analysis of the nunujj channel to obtain 95% confidence level (C.L.) upper limits on the leptoquark pair-production cross section as a function of mass and of beta, the branching fraction to a charged lepton. These limits are compared to next-to-leading-order theory to set 95% C.L. lower limits on the mass of a first-generation scalar leptoquark of 225, 204, and 79 GeV/c^2 for beta=1, 1/2, and 0, respectively. For vector leptoquarks with gauge (Yang-Mills) couplings, 95% C.L. lower limits of 345, 337, and 206 GeV/c^2 are set on the mass for beta=1, 1/2, and 0, respectively. Mass limits for vector leptoquarks are also set for anomalous vector couplings.
