We present an evaluation of the strong couplings JD(∗)D(∗) and JD(∗)D(∗)π by an effective field theory of quarks and mesons. These couplings are necessary to calculate π+J/ψ → D(∗)+D̄(∗) cross sections, an important background to the J/ψ suppression signal in the quark-gluon plasma. We write down the general effective lagrangian and compute the relevant couplings in the soft pion limit and beyond.

Forward bias current–voltage characteristics (JD – V) were studied for both p – i – n ~superstrate! and n – i – p ~substrate! (a-SiC:H p)/(a-Si:H i) solar-cell structures having different p/i interface layers and different thickness i-layers. Contributions of the p/i interfaces to the JD – V characteristics were separated, and the dependence on the thickness of the i-layers was established. Equ...

The Utah State Paratuberculosis (Johne’s Disease) Control Program is part of the US nationwide Voluntary Bovine Johne’s Disease Control Program. Nearly every state in the US has a similar Johne’s Disease (JD) control program, and they are seeing the same trends as we have in Utah: dairy veterinarians and producers are participating in JD testing at levels that have progressed from low to extrem...

We have conducted pulsed transport measurements on c-axis-oriented magnesium diboride films over the entire relevant ranges of magnetic field 0&H&Hc2 ~where Hc2 is the upper critical field! and current density 0& j& jd ~where jd;10 7 A/cm is the depairing current density!. The intrinsic disorder of the films combined with the large coherence length and three dimensionality, compared to cuprate ...

We present a coordinate-independent method for extracting the mass (M D) and angular momentum (JD) of a black hole in numerical simulations. This method, based on the isolated horizon framework, is applicable both at late times when the black hole has reached equilibrium, and at early times when the black holes are widely separated. Assuming that the spatial hypersurfaces used in a given numeri...
