Studies that compare treatments with the purpose of demonstrating that the treatments are similar require an a priori definition of an equivalence limit, how different the treatments can be before the difference is of concern. Defining such an equivalence limit is one of the most difficult aspects of planning the study. Three principles are proposed for setting such limits, depending on the obj...

The scale parameter Λ M S is computed on the lattice in the quenched approximation and for N f = 2 flavors of light dynamical quarks. The dynamical calculation is done with non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. In the continuum limit we obtain Λ

The topological term in the effective action for the electrically neutral BCS system is discussed. It is applied for the calculation of the transverse force acting on the vortex in the limit of the smooth vor-tex core and vanishing interlevel distance in the vortex core. The controversy between the topological terms in cond-mat/9703124 and cond-mat/9411047 is resolved.

We study the annulus amplitudes in the (2, 4) minimal superstring theory using the continuum worldsheet approach. Our results reproduce the semiclassical behavior of the wavefunctions of FZZT-branes recently studied in hep-th/0412315 using the dual matrix model. We also study the multi-point functions of neutral FZZT-branes and find the agreement between their semiclassical limit and the worlds...

Schwinger proper time method is generalized for the calculation of real part of determinant and coincidence limit of inverse for Dirac operator with dynamical chiral symmetry breaking caused by momentum dependent fermion self energy Σ(k2). The obtained series generalizes the heat kernel expansion for hard fermion mass. PACS number(s): 03.65.Db, 11.10Ef, 11.30.Rd, 12.39.Fe

We present phenomenological results for the production of a Higgs boson in association with two jets at the LHC. The calculation is performed in the limit of large top mass and is accurate to next-to-leading order in the strong coupling, i.e. O(αs).

We compute the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) amplitude for forward and backward scattering in the asymptotic limit. Since this calculation does not assume ordering of the transverse mo-menta, it includes important logarithmic contributions that are beyond those summed by the DGLAP evolution. These contributions lead to a power-like behavior for the forward DVCS amplitude.

We show that there is a double counting in the standard model of n¯ n mixing in the medium, resulting in full cancellation of leading terms. The direct calculation of n¯ n transition, annihilation is performed. For lower limit on the free-space n¯ n oscillation time we get τ min ∼ 10 31 y.

In this study, the MHD equilibrium limit of LHD plasmas is studied using a 3D MHD equilibrium calculation code, HINT2, which is an initial value solver based on the relaxation method without the assumption of nested flux surfaces. For finite beta equilibria, flux surfaces become stochastic in the peripheral region. However, though the axis shifts until the conventional limit, the separatrix to ...

A receiver-spoofer is one of the most covert global navigation satellite system (GNSS) spoofing attacks and can only be effectively detected by the combination of multiple anti-spoofing technologies. In this paper, an analysis of influencing parameters for receiver-spoofers indicates that the ratio of the spoofing signal amplitude versus the authentic signal amplitude (spoofing-signal ratio) is...
