Measurement of the strong-phase difference between D0 and D0 ¯ ?k K-p p- in bins of phase space

A first determination of the strong-phase difference between D0 and D0¯→K+K-π+π- is performed using e+e-→ψ(3770)→DD¯ data collected by the BESIII detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb-1. The measurements are made in four pairs of bi ...

Percolation for 2D Classical Heisenberg Model and Exit Sets of Vector Valued GFF

Juhan Aru

Our motivation in this paper is twofold. First, we study the geometry of a class of exploration sets, called exit sets, which are naturally associated with a 2D vector-valued Gaussian Free Field:

\phi : \mathbb{Z}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^N

Re-design of EU DEMO with a low aspect ratio

Xabier Sarasola Martin

The design point that had been chosen for EU DEMO in 2016 is reviewed here and a modification is proposed with a lower aspect ratio. Previously the same aspect ratio, A, was chosen for EU DEMO as in major tokamak experiments including ITER (A = 3.1), and, ...
