  • Disoriented Chiral Condensate: Theory and Experiment
    DISORIENTED CHIRAL CONDENSATE: THEORY AND EXPERIMENT a b, B. Mohanty and J. Serreau ∗ aVariable Energy Cyclotron Center, 1/AF, Bidhan Nagar Kolkata - 700064, India bAstro-Particule et Cosmologie, 11, place Marcelin Berthelot, F-75231 Paris Cedex 05, France and Laboratoire de Physique Th´eorique, Bˆatiment 210, Universit´eParis-Sud 11, 91405 Orsay Cedex, France 1 Abstract It is thought that a region of pseudo-vacuum, where the chiral order parameter is misaligned from its vacuum orientation in isospin space, might occasionally form in high energy hadronic or nuclear collisions. The possible detection of such disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) would provide useful information about the chiral structure of the QCD vacuum and/or the chiral phase transition of strong interactions at high temperature. We review the theoretical developments concerning the possible DCC formation in high-energy collisions as well as the various experimental searches that have been performed so far. We discuss future prospects for upcoming DCC searches, e.g. in high-energy heavy-ion collision experiments at RHIC and LHC. Key words: Disoriented chiral condensates, Heavy-ion collisions, Quantum chromodynamics, Particle production. arXiv:hep-ph/0504154v2 25 May 2005 PACS: 12.38.-t, 11.30.Rd, 12.38.Mh, 25.75.-q, 25.75.Dw 1 Introduction In very high energy hadronic and/or nuclear collisions highly excited states are produced and subsequently decay toward vacuum via incoherent multi- ∗ Corresponding Author.

    Visualizing electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale by single molecule localization Christian Steuwea,b, Miklos Erdelyia, G. Szekeresc, M. Csetec, Jeremy J Baumbergb, Sumeet Mahajan*d and Clemens F. Kaminski*a a Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, University of Cambridge, New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Cambridge, CB2 3RA, UK b Nanophotonics Centre, Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, J J Thomson Avenue, Cambridge, CB3 0HE, UK c Department of Optics and Quantum Electronics, University of Szeged, H-6720 Szeged, Dóm tér 9, Hungary d Institute for Life Sciences and Department of Chemistry, University of Southampton, University Road, Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK Corresponding authors: SM ([email protected]), CFK([email protected]) Coupling of light to the free electrons at metallic surfaces allows the confinement of electric fields to sub-wavelength dimensions, far below the optical diffraction limit. While this is routinely used to manipulate light at the nanoscale 1, in electro-optic devices 2 and enhanced spectroscopic techniques 3-6, no characterization technique for imaging the underlying nanoscopic electromagnetic fields exists which does not perturb the field 4, 7 or employs complex electron beam imaging 8, 9. Here, we demonstrate the direct visualization of electromagnetic fields on patterned metallic substrates at nanometer resolution, exploiting a strong ‘autonomous’ fluorescence-blinking behavior of single molecules within the confined fields allowing their localization. Use of DNA-constructs for precise positioning of fluorescence dyes on the surface induces this distance-dependent autonomous blinking thus completely obviating the need for exogenous agents or switching methods. Mapping such electromagnetic field distributions at nanometer resolution aids the rational design of nanometals for diverse photonic applications.

    W ILLIAM L AWRENCE B R A G G The diffraction of X-rays by crystals Nobel Lecture, September 6, 1922* It is with the very greatest pleasure that I take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude to you for the great honour which you bestowed upon me, when you awarded my father and myself the Nobel Prize for Physics in the year 1915. In other years scientists have come here to express their thanks to you, who have received this great distinction for the work of an illustrious career devoted to research. That you should have given me, at the very out- set of my scientific career, even the most humble place amongst their ranks, is an honour of which I cannot but be very proud. You invited me here two years ago, after the end of the war, but a series of unfortunate circumstances made it impossible for me to accept your invi- tation. I have always profoundly regretted this, and it was therefore with the very greatest satisfaction that I received the invitation of Prof. Arrhenius a few months ago, and arranged for this visit. I am at last able to tell you how deeply grateful I am to you, and to give you my thanks in person. You have already honoured with the Nobel Prize Prof. von Laue, to whom we owe the great discovery which has made possible all progress in a new realm of science, the study of the structure of matter by the diffraction of X-rays. Prof von Laue, in his Nobel Lecture, has described to you how he was led to make his epochal discovery.

  • William Brian Reddaway 1913–2002
    BRIAN REDDAWAY William Brian Reddaway 1913–2002 I PROFESSOR W. B. R EDDAWAY, invariably known to friends and colleagues as Brian Reddaway, was an exceptional economist who had a huge influ- ence on how economics in Cambridge has been taught and researched. He held leadership positions in the Faculty of Economics and Politics at Cambridge for twenty-five years, between 1955 and 1980. For nearly the first fifteen years he was Director of the Department of Applied Economics (DAE), succeeding Sir Richard Stone, the founding Director. The DAE was established after the Second World War on the initiative of J. M. Keynes. It was set up as the research arm of the Faculty of Economics and Politics, providing facilities for teaching staff to carry out applied economic and social investigations. In 1969, almost at the end of his tenure as DAE Director, Reddaway was elected to succeed James Meade in the Chair of Political Economy, the senior chair in economics in Cambridge. Reddaway held this chair until 1980, when he formally retired. He continued his association with the Faculty for many years after this, doing occasional lecture courses, or one-off lectures: he posi- tively loved lecturing on applied economic subjects and helping younger colleagues with their research. As is the custom in Cambridge’s collegiate university structure, in addi- tion to his successive university posts in the Faculty, which began in 1939 on his appointment as University Lecturer, he held a Fellowship at Clare College for sixty-four years (1938 to 2002). He took a very active part in college life, including college teaching and helping to manage the college’s Proceedings of the British Academy, 138, 285–306.

  • Výroční Zpráva FZÚ Za Rok 2012
    Výroční zpráva o činnosti a hospodaření za rok 2012 FZÚ AV ČR, V. V. I. VÝROČNÍ ZPRÁVA 2012 ýzkum ve Fyzikálním ústavu AV ČR, v. v. i., se i v roce 2012 soustředil na dlouhodobě Vúspěšná témata s tím, že akcenty se měnily podle aktuálních výsledků a trendů. Tak například desetiletí trvající příprava experimentů na světovém urychlovači LHC v evropském středisku fyziky elementárních částic CERN dospěla úspěšně ke svému cíli a tyto experimenty nyní přinášejí řadu nových zajímavých výsledků. Velkou publicitu získal objev nové částice, která je patrně dlouho hledaným Higgsovým bosonem. Díky novým údajům o interakcích částic na LHC dochází ke zpřesňování výsledků také v oblasti astročásticové fyziky. V oblasti spintroniky se výzkum posouvá od zkoumání samotného spinově závislého Hallova jevu k demonstraci funkčnosti prvních modelových spintronických součástek. V případě funkčních materiálů vývoj vede k vytváření materiálů „šitých na míru“ podle nejrůznějších potřeb. Dochází k zajímavým objevům i na poli základního výzkumu – tady lze jmenovat pozorování ferromagnetického chování rozhraní dvou nemagnetických látek s nerovnováhou náboje. V oblasti fyziky pevných látek se zřetelně vyděluje trend, který se věnuje interdisciplinárním problémům a přesahu fyziky do oblastí biologie a medicíny. Úspěch ve všech těchto směrech je podmíněn přístupem k moderním metodám analýzy a charakterizace vzorků a jejich efektivním využitím. Rok 2012 byl také rokem volebním – uběhlo pět let od přechodu ústavu na právní formu veřejné výzkumné instituce a skončilo tak funkční období první rady ústavu i ředitele. V nově zvolené radě ústavu zasedlo šest nově zvolených interních členů z celkem devíti. Naopak z pěti externích členů je nový pouze jeden. V následné volbě ředitele mně kolegové dali svoji důvěru a doporučili mě předsedovi AV ČR do této funkce i na druhé funkční období.
