We show that the conventional threshold resummation calculation cannot describe well the low energy Drell-Yan (DY) data without including the non-perturbative correction terms which are deduced from analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the resummation formalism. It is demonstrated that the non-perturbative correction is generally small for the large invariant mass DY pairs produced at the Tevat...

Introduction: Scatter radiation is one of the major sources of error in nuclear medicine data processing. Different methods of scatter correction have been introduced in order to improve the quality of data. However the best method is to avoid recording of scatter photons in acquisition. The only difference between scattered and non-scattered photons is the energy. Pulse height analyzer i...

PURPOSE Analyze the characteristics of TLD LiF-100 powder between multiple LiF crystal batches. METHODS The RPC used TLD LiF-100 encapsulated powder to verify the output for photon and electron beams for 4 to 23 MV X-ray beams and 6 to 23 MeV electron beams, respectively, from the past 15 years. During that time period, the RPC commissioned more than 15 batches of TLD powder. Commissioning of...

A two-dimensional nonrelativistic fermion system coupled to both electromagnetic gauge fields and Chern-Simons gauge fields is analysed. Polarization tensors relevant in the quantum Hall effect and anyon superconductivity are obtained as simple closed integrals and are evaluated numerically for all momenta and frequencies. The correction to the energy density is evaluated in the random phase ap...

In this paper, we describe a new trajectory correction technique for high energy linear accelerators. Current correction techniques force the beam trajectory to follow misalignments of the Beam Position Monitors (BPMs). Since the particle bunch has a finite energy spread and particles with different energies are deflected differently, this causes " chromatic " dilution of the transverse beam em...

The matrix model with mass term has a nontrivially classical solution which is known to represent a noncommutative fuzzy sphere. The fuzzy sphere has a lower energy then that of the trivial solution. In this letter we investigate the quantum correction of the energy of the fuzzy sphere by using the Gaussian variational technique, in contrast to the other studying in which only the small fluctua...

We analyze the dispersion correction to elastic parity violating electron-proton scattering due to γZ exchange and theoretical uncertainties associated with this correction. The new Standard Model prediction for the weak charge of the proton in the kinematics of the Q-Weak experiment, Q W = (0.0767± 0.0008± 0.0020γZ), the latter error being dominated by the uncertainty in the isospin structure ...

Intermolecular potential energy surface (IPS) for protein — protein has been examined using RHF, DFT-B3LYPand MP2 levels of theory with 6-31G, 6-31G* basis sets. A number of basis sets were used in order to evaluatethe basis set effects, at all three levels of theory, basis sets has significant effects on the calculated potentialenergy curves (including position, depth and width of the potentia...

A part of the two-loop self-energy correction, the so-called P term, is evaluated numerically for the 1s state to all orders in Zα. Our calculation, combined with the previous investigation [S. Mallampalli and J. Sapirstein, Phys. Rev. A 57, 1548 (1998)], yields the total answer for the two-loop self-energy correction in H-like uranium and bismuth. As a result, the major uncertainty is eliminat...

An adjustment to 782 ground state nuclear charge radii for nuclei with N,Z ≥ 8 leads to R0 = 1.2257 A 1/3 fm and σ = 0.124 fm for the charge radius. Assuming such a Coulomb energy Ec = 3 5 eZ/1.2257 A 1 3 , the coefficients of different possible mass formulae derived from the liquid drop model and including the shell and pairing energies have been determined from 2027 masses verifying N,Z ≥ 8 a...
