The Ionisation Equilibrium for Heavy Elements

Computing Heavy Elements

Reliable calculations of the structure of heavy elements are crucial to address fundamental science questions such as the origin of the elements in the universe. Applications relevant for energy production, medicine, or national security also rely on theoretical predictions of basic properties of atomic nuclei. Heavy elements are best described within the nuclear density functional theory (DFT)...

Lattice Results for Heavy Light Matrix Elements

Lattice results for heavy light matrix elements are reviewed and some of their implications are very briefly discussed [1]. Despite the fact that in most cases the lattice results for weak matrix elements at the moment have only a modest accuracy of about 20–30% they already have important phenomenological repercussions; e.g. for Vtd/Vts, xs/xd and B → K ∗γ. I. As samples of “new” projects, I b...

The spectra of the heavy elements.

The Elements of General Equilibrium Theory

The lecture will be an introduction to the model of economic equilibrium. The basic concepts: preferences, initial endowments and market clearing prices will discussed in general and by means of examples. I will indicate how fixed point theorems are used to demonstrate the existence of equilibrium prices and sketch an algorithm for Brouwers theorem. If time permits, there will be some remarks o...

Equilibrium in Heavy Ion Collisions

We discuss the question of equilibriation in heavy ion collisions and how it can be addressed in experiment
