We consider counterparty risk for interest rate payoffs in presence of correlation between the default event and interest rates. The previous analysis of Brigo and Masetti (2006), assuming independence, is further extended to interest rate payoffs different from simple swap portfolios. A stochastic intensity model with possible jumps is adopted for the default event. We find that correlation be...

The heavy ion trap (HITRAP) linac will decelerate highly charged ions up to U, provided by the GSI accelerator facility at 4 MeV/u down to 6 keV/u. The highly charged ions will subsequently be injected into a Penning trap for beam cooling. Therefore the HITRAP facility will provide unique pulsed beams of up to about 10 highly charged ions at very low energies for atomic physics experiments. The...
