We perform a dispersive theoretical study of the reaction γγ → ππ emphasizing the low energy region. The large source of theoretical uncertainty to calculate the γγ → ππ total cross section for √ s & 0.5 GeV within the dispersive approach is removed. This is accomplished by taking one more subtraction in the dispersion relations, where the extra subtraction constant is fixed by considering new ...

In this paper, we study a class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) which admit families of small solitary wave solutions. We consider solutions which are small in the energy space H, and decompose them into solitary wave and dispersive wave components. The goal is to establish the asymptotic stability of the solitary wave and the asymptotic completeness of the dispersive wave. That is, we...

An accurate low-energy dispersive parametrization of the scalar Kπ form factor was constructed some time ago in terms of a single parameter guided by the Callan-Treiman low-energy theorem. A similar twice subtracted dispersive parametrization for the vector Kπ form factor will be investigated here. The robustness of the parametrization of these two form factors will be studied in great detail. ...

This paper studies the properties of thermally evaporated 1 μm of aluminium (Al) thin films on polyimide (PI) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates at room temperature with thermal evaporation in a vacuum of about 3 x 10 -5 Torr for use as window materials for solar cells. Effects of substrate types on the structural and electrical characteristics of the films were studied. Sets of ex...

Actinide materials demonstrate a wide variety of interesting physical properties in both bulk and nanoscale form. To better understand these materials, a broad array of microscopy techniques have been employed, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS), high-angle annular dark-field imaging (HAADF), sc...

Peats are geotechnically problematic soil due to their high compressibility and low shear strength. Cement is widely used for the stabilization of peat by deep mixing method (DMM). This paper presents the results of the model study of compressibility property of peats stabilized with cement columns formed by DMM. The results of consolidation test, scanning electron micrographs (SEM) and energy ...

We investigated silver nanowires using correlative wide-field fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy. In the wide-field fluorescence images, synchronous emission from different distinct positions along the silver nanowires was observed. The sites of emission were separated spatially by up to several micrometers. Nanowires emitting in such cooperative manner were then also investigate...

Energy dispersive x-ray analysis was used to study the composition of certain protein body components in Cucurbita maxima cotyledons. The globoid crystal was rich in phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. This elemental composition provides further evidence that the globoid crystal in squash cotyledon protein bodies is composed of phytin, a myoinositol hexaphosphoric acid salt of potassium and m...

The current investigation was aimed at identifying the role of mesoporous wollastonite particles on the healing of rat tibial bone defect. The bone defect was created with a 3-mm-diameter dental drill, and it was filled with mesoporous wollastonite particles. After second and fourth weeks of filling treatments, it was found that mesoporous wollastonite particles promoted bone formation as evide...

The nonlocal dispersive optical model (NLDOM) nucleon potentials are used for the first time in the adiabatic analysis of a (d,p) reaction to generate distorted waves both in the entrance and exit channels. These potentials have been designed and fitted in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 162502 (2014)] to constrain relevant single-particle physics in a consistent way by imposing the fundamental properti...
