We study the role of hydrodynamic instabilities in the morphogenesis of some typical karst draperies structures encountered in limestone caves. The problem is tackled using the long wave approximation for the fluid film that flows under an inclined substra ...
Massive neutrinos influence the background evolution of the Universe as well as the growth of structure. Being able to model this effect and constrain the sum of their masses is one of the key challenges in modern cosmology. Weak-lensing cosmological const ...
We report the first observation of the radiative decay of the Upsilon(1S) into a charmonium state. The significance of the observed signal of Upsilon(1S) -> gamma chi(c1) is 6.3 standard deviations including systematics. The branching fraction is calculate ...
We develop an analytical approximate method for determining the Bohr radii of Wannier-Mott excitons in thin quantum wells under the influence of magnetic field perpendicular to the quantum well plane. Our hybrid variational-perturbative method allows us to ...
