The phenomenon of 2D nanoindentation of circular "Brinell" indenter into a single crystal metal thin film bonded to a rigid substrate is investigated. The simulation method is the coupled atomistics and discrete dislocation (CADD) model recently developed ...
The cross section of W-boson pair-production is measured with the L3 detector at LEP. In a data sample corresponding to a total luminosity of 629.4 pb-1, collected at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 189 to 209 GeV, 9834 four-fermion events with W boso ...
The Belle experiment is one of the world's two currently running high-energy physics detectors dedicated to study B-mesons produced with an electron-positron collider. It is situated at the Japanese High Energy Research Organization KEK in Tsukuba, near To ...
Since almost a century ago, it is known that a quarter of the energy density in the Universe is represented by the dark matter which has been seen only through gravitational interaction. Despite of intensive searches for a dark matter constituent in differ ...
We present a study of l nu b (b) over bar and l(+)l(-)b (b) over bar production at hadron colliders. Our results, accurate to the next-to-leading order in QCD, are based on automatic matrix-element calculations performed by MadLoop and MadFKS, and are give ...
Events stemming from the pair-production of Z bosons in e+e - collisions are studied using 217.4 pb-1 of data collected with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies from 200 GeV up to 209 GeV. The special case of events with b quarks is also investigate ...
Density functional theory-based calculations of the (10,0) zigzag single-walled carbon nanotube with hydrogen chemisorbed exohedrally show that electron pairing and strain minimization lead hydrogen atoms to cluster and preferentially sit in axial configur ...
Although photons in vacuum are massless particles that do not appreciably interact with each other, significant interactions appear in suitable nonlinear media, leading to hydrodynamic behaviours typical of quantum fluids(1-6). Here, we show the generation ...
Recent analyses have shown that the inclusion of electroweak corrections can alter significantly the energy spectra of Standard Model particles originated from dark matter annihilations. We investigate the important situation where the radiation of electro ...
The Collins effect connects transverse quark spin with a measurable azimuthal asymmetry in the yield of hadronic fragments around the quark's momentum vector. Using two different reconstruction methods we measure statistically significant azimuthal asymmet ...
