We obtain models for a triaxial Milky Way spheroid based on data by Newberg and Yanny. The best fits to the data occur for a spheroid center that is shifted by 3kpc from the Galactic Center. We investigate effects of the triaxiality on the microlensing optical depth to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The optical depth can be used to ascertain the number of

This paper constructs a kinematic basis for spin networks with planar or cylindrical symmetry, by exploiting the fact that the basis elements are representations of an O(3) subgroup of O(4). The action of the volume operator on this basis gives a difference equation for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the volume operator. For basis elements of low spin,

The spin chains originating from large-N conformal gauge theories are of a special kind: The Hamiltonian is not invariant under the symmetry algebra, it is rather a part of it. This leads to interesting properties within the asymptotic Bethe ansatz. Here we study an S-matrix with u(1|1) symmetry which arises in a long-range spin chain with fundamental spins

In this paper, we will focus - in dimension one - on the SDEs of the type dX_t=s(X_t)dB_t+b(X_t)dt where B is a fractional Brownian motion. Our principal motivation is to describe one of the simplest theory - from our point of view - allowing to study this SDE, and this for any Hurst index H between 0 and 1. We will consider several definitions of solution a

We analyze a series of full-Sun observations, which was performed with the SoHO/SUMER instrument between March and October 1996. Some parameters (radiance, shift and width) of the S VI 93.3 nm, S VI 94.4 nm, and Lyman Epsilon line profiles were computed on board. Radiances and line-of-sight velocities in a large central region of the Sun are studied statisti

After simplifying and improving the non-Gaussian formalism we developed in previous work, we derive a quantitative expression for the three-point correlator (bispectrum) of the curvature perturbation in general multiple-field inflation models. Our result describes the evolution of non-Gaussianity on superhorizon scales caused by the nonlinear influence of is

A mechanism of the high temperature ferromagnetism in polymerized fullerenes is suggested. It is assumed that some of the C$_{60}$ molecules in the crystal become magnetically active due to spin and charge transfer from the paramagnetic impurities (atoms or groups), such as hydrogen, fluorine, hydroxyl group OH, amino group NH$_2$, or methyl group CH$_3$, di

We have performed a comparative analysis of three recent and reliable SnIa datasets available in the literature: the Full Gold (FG) dataset (157 data points $0<z<1.75$), a Truncated Gold (TG) dataset (140 data points $0<z<1$) and the most recent Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) dataset (115 data points $0<z<1$). We have analyzed and compared the likelihood of

Diaconescu, Moore and Witten proved that the partition function of type IIA string theory coincides (to the extent checked) with the partition function of M-theory. One of us (Kriz) and Sati proposed in a previous paper a refinement of the IIA partition function using elliptic cohomology and conjectured that it coincides with a partition function coming from

Uniform-field effects for frustrated odd-leg integer-spin tubes (cylinder type spin systems) are investigated in the weak interchain-coupling regime. We predict that, as the field exceeds the spin gap, a two-component Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) appears due to the condensation of the doubly degenerate lowest magnons. Furthermore, it is argued that when t

We present numerical radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of cometary HII regions for a number of champagne flow and bowshock models. For the champagne flow models we study smooth density distributions with both steep and shallow gradients. We also consider cases where the ionizing star has a strong stellar wind, and cases in which the star additionally has a

We consider the nonlinear wave equation $i \partial_t u= \sqrt{-Δ+ m^2} u - (|x|^{-1} \ast |u|^2) u$ on $\RR^3$ modelling the dynamics of (pseudo-relativistic) boson stars. For spherically symmetric initial data, $u_0(x) \in C^\infty_{\mathrm{c}}(\RR^3)$, with negative energy, we prove blow-up of $u(t,x)$ in $H^{1/2}$-norm within a finite time. Physically, t

We show that any pointed Hopf algebra with infinitesimal braiding associated to the conjugacy class of pi in S_n is infinite-dimensional, if either the order of pi is odd, or pi is a product of disjoint cycles of odd order except for exactly two transpositions.

Thomas Konstandin, Tommy Ohlsson

We investigate matter effects on highly relativistic neutrinos. The self-energy of neutrinos is determined in an electron or neutrino background taking into account resonance and finite width effects of the gauge bosons. We find minor changes compared to the formerly used formula for the propagator function and large deviations of the effective width from th

Let G be a simple undirected graph on n vertices, and let I(G) \subseteq R = k[x_1,...,x_n] denote its associated edge ideal. We show that all chordal graphs G are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay; our proof depends upon showing that the Alexander dual of I(G) is componentwise linear. Our result complements Faridi&#39;s theorem that the facet ideal of a simplicia

We describe new half-BPS cosmic string solutions in N=2, d=4 supergravity coupled to one vector multiplet and one hypermultiplet. They are closely related to D-term strings in N=1 supergravity. Fields of the N=2 theory that are frozen in the solution contribute to the triplet moment map of the quaternionic isometries and leave their trace in N=1 as a constan

We investigate the effect of galactic winds on the Lyalpha forest in cosmological simulations of structure and galaxy formation. We combine high resolution N-body simulations of the evolution of the dark matter with a semi-analytic model for the formation and evolution of galaxies which includes detailed prescriptions for the long-term evolution of galactic

(truncated version) The X-ray spectra of Galactic binary systems in the very high state show both strong disk emission and a strong, steep tail to high energies. We use simultaneous optical-ASCA-RXTE data from the black hole transient XTE J1550-564 as a specific example, and show that these have disc spectra which are significantly lower in temperature than

By combining the first year data from the Supernova Legacy Survey (SN LS) and the recent detection of the baryon acoustic peak in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data, we are able to place strong constraints on models where the cosmic acceleration is due to the leakage of gravity from the brane into the bulk on large scales. In particular, we are able to show t

The generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) is a candidate for the unification of dark energy and dark matter, and is parametrized by an exotic equation of state given by $p_{ch}=-A/ρ_{ch}^α$, where $A$ is a positive constant and $0<α\leq 1$. In this paper, exact solutions of spherically symmetric traversable wormholes supported by the GCG are found, possibly arisin

We address the issue of mobility of localized modes in two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger lattices with saturable nonlinearity. This describes e.g. discrete spatial solitons in a tight-binding approximation of two-dimensional optical waveguide arrays made from photorefractive crystals. We discuss numerically obtained exact stationary solutions and their s

We perform a supergraph computation of the effective Kaehler potential at one and two loops for general four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric theories described by arbitrary Kaehler potential, superpotential and gauge kinetic function. We only insist on gauge invariance of the Kaehler potential and the superpotential as we heavily rely on its consequences in t

The Barrett-Crane intertwiner for the Riemannian general relativity is systematically derived by solving the quantum Barrett-Crane constraints corresponding to a tetrahedron (except for the non-degeneracy condition). It was shown by Reisenberger that the Barrett-Crane intertwiner is the unique solution. The systematic derivation can be considered as an alter

Aims: We measure the redshift of the lensing galaxy in eight gravitationally lensed quasars in view of determining the Hubble parameter H_0 from the time delay method. Methods: Deep VLT/FORS1 spectra of lensed quasars are spatially deconvolved in order to separate the spectrum of the lensing galaxies from the glare of the much brighter quasar images. A new o

We show how a recently discovered black ring solution with a rotating 2-sphere can be turned into two new solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. The first is a four-dimensional solution describing a pair of oppositely charged, extremal black holes--known as a black dihole--undergoing uniform acceleration. The second is a five-dimensional solution desc

We present the results of a realistic global fit of the Lagrangian parameters of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model assuming universality for the first and second generation and real parameters. No assumptions on the SUSY breaking mechanism are made. The fit is performed using the precision of future mass measurements of superpartners at the LHC and m

In the precedent paper of the authors (hep-ph/0510410), the $b\bar b$ states were treated in the framework of the spectral integral equation, together with simultaneous calculations of radiative decays of the considered bottomonia. In the present paper, such a study is carried out for the charmonium $(c\bar c)$ states. We reconstruct the interaction in the $

We show that the three strings vertex coefficients in light--cone open string field theory satisfy the Hirota equations for the dispersionless Toda lattice hierarchy. We show that Hirota equations allow us to calculate the correlators of an associated quantum system where the Neumann coefficients represent the two--point functions. We consider next the three

An explicit formula is derived for the Fourier transform of a Gaussian measure on the Heisenberg group at the Schrodinger representation. Using this explicit formula, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the convolution of two Gaussian measures to be a Gaussian measure.

Superconducting flux qubits with three Josephson junctions are promising candidates for the building blocks of a quantum computer. We have applied the imaginary time evolution method to study the model of this qubit accurately by calculating its wave functions and eigenenergies. Because such qubits are manipulated with magnetic flux microwave pulses they mig

We report on p-Lambda, p-Lambda bar, p bar-Lambda and p bar-Lambda bar correlation functions constructed in central Au-Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200GeV by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The proton and lambda source size is inferred from the p-Lambda and p bar-Lambda bar correlation functions. They are found to be smaller than the pion source size also measur

Brian Forbes, Masao Jinzenji

In this paper, we first derive an intrinsic definition of classical triple intersection numbers of K_S, where S is a complex toric surface, and use this to compute the extended Picard-Fuchs system of K_S of our previous paper, without making use of the instanton expansion. We then extend this formalism to local fourfolds K_X, where X is a complex 3-fold. As

After Galvez, Martinez and Milan discovered a (Weierstrass-type) holomorphic representation formula for flat surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space, the first, third and fourth authors here gave a framework for complete flat fronts with singularities in H^3. In the present work we broaden the notion of completeness to weak completeness, and of front to p-front. As a

Let $P = \{p(i)\}$ be a measure of strictly positive probabilities on the set of nonnegative integers. Although the countable number of inputs prevents usage of the Huffman algorithm, there are nontrivial $P$ for which known methods find a source code that is optimal in the sense of minimizing expected codeword length. For some applications, however, a sourc

In this article we analyze the resolvent, the heat kernel and the spectral zeta function of the operator $-d^2/dr^2 - 1/(4r^2)$ over the finite interval. The structural properties of these spectral functions depend strongly on the chosen self-adjoint realization of the operator, a choice being made necessary because of the singular potential present. Only fo

T. N. Mukhamedjanov, O. P. Sushkov

We demonstrate that parity nonconserving interaction due to the nuclear weak charge Q_W leads to nonlinear magnetoelectric effect in centrosymmetric paramagnetic crystals. It is shown that the effect exists only in crystals with special symmetry axis k. Kinematically, the correlation (correction to energy) has the form H_PNC ~ Q_W (E,[B,k])(B,k), where B and

The article describes the research program pursued by the TEXONO Collaboration towards an experiment to observe coherent scattering between neutrinos and the nucleus at the power reactor. The motivations of studying this process are surveyed. In particular, a threshold of 100-200 eV has been achieved with an ultra-low-energy germanium detector prototype. Thi

The inorganic crystal scintillator CsI(Tl) has been used for low energy neutrino and Dark Matter experiments, where the intrinsic radiopurity is an issue of major importance. Low-background data were taken with a CsI(Tl) crystal array at the Kuo-Sheng Reactor Neutrino Laboratory. The pulse shape discrimination capabilities of the crystal, as well as the temp

In this article, we discuss the identity and indistinguishability of quantum systems and the consequent need to introduce an extra postulate in Quantum Mechanics to correctly describe situations involving indistinguishable particles. This is, for electrons, the Pauli Exclusion Principle, or in general, the Symmetrization Postulate. Then, we introduce fermion

We investigate how entanglement can be perfectly transfered between continuous variable and qubits system. We find that a two-mode squeezed vacuum state can be converted to the product state of an infinitive number of two-qubit states while keeping the entanglement. The reverse process is also possible. The interaction Hamitonian is a kind of non-linear Jayn

In this paper we consider the one-dimensional quantum random walk X^{varphi} _n at time n starting from initial qubit state varphi determined by 2 times 2 unitary matrix U. We give a combinatorial expression for the characteristic function of X^{varphi}_n. The expression clarifies the dependence of it on components of unitary matrix U and initial qubit state

We used two-dimensional Finte-Difference-Time-Domain (FDTD) software to study the transition behavior of nano-particles from scatterers to an optically uniform medium. We measured the transmission efficiency of the dipole source, which is located in the high refractive index medium(index=2.00) and encapsulated by low index resin(index=1.41). In an effort to

In columnar assemblies of helical bio-molecules the azimuthal degrees of freedom, i.e. rotations about the long axes of molecules, may be important in determining the structure of the assemblies especially when the interaction energy between neighbouring molecules explicitly depends on their relative azimuthal orientations. For DNA this leads to a rich varie

In this 2nd chapter of the book Quantum Mechanical Prediction of Thermochemical Data&#34; (ed.

While living in different historical era, Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and Albert Einstein (1879-1955) were both prolific correspondents: Darwin sent (received) at least 7,591 (6,530) letters during his lifetime while Einstein sent (received) over 14,500 (16,200).

In this paper, a simply rule that generates scale-free networks with very large clustering coefficient and very small average distance is presented. These networks are called {\bf Multistage Random Growing Networks}(MRGN) as the adding process of a new node to the network is composed of two stages.

Dynamic nonlinear magneto-optical-rotation signals with frequency- and amplitude-modulated laser light have been observed and investigated with a spherical glass cell of 3-mm diameter containing Cs metal with inner walls coated with paraffin. Intrinsic Zeeman relaxation rates of $γ/(2π)\approx 20 $Hz and lower have been observed. Favorable prospects of using

We calculate the characteristics of ultraslow light in an inhomogeneously broadened medium. We present analytical and numerical results for the group delay as a function of power of the propagating pulse. We apply these results to explain the recently reported saturation behavior [Baldit {\it et al.}, \prl {\bf 95}, 143601 (2005)] of ultraslow light in rare

Experimental data on electromagnetic and weak form factors of the nucleon are analyzed in a two-component model with a quark-like intrinsic structure surrounded by a meson cloud. The contribution from strange quarks is discussed and compared with recent data from the G0 Collaboration.

We discuss the application of an effective theory with contact interactions to the non-relativistic four-body system with short-range interactions. We have computed the binding energies of the 4He tetramer and the alpha-particle. A well-known linear correlation between three- and four-body binding energies can be understood as a result of the absence of a fo

Light-front quantization to many-particle systems of finite temperature and density provides a novel approach towards a relativistic description of quark matter and allows us to calculate the perturbative as well as the non-perturbative regime of QCD. Utilizing a Dyson expansion of light-front many-body Green functions we have so far calculated three-quark,

We present preliminary measurements of electron production in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV for transverse momenta 1.5 GeV/$c$ $<p_T<$8 GeV/$c$ as a function of centrality. These measurements were carried out using the STAR Time Projection Chamber and Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter. In this manuscript we describe the measurem

The observation of meson and baryon grouping in the $R_{CP}$ and $v_2$ measurements at intermediate $p_T$ has been interpreted as a manifestation of bulk partonic matter hadronization through multi-parton dynamics such as recombination of partons. $ϕ$ mesons provide unique sensitivity to test these theoretical scenarios, since the $ϕ$ has a mass heavier than

This paper presents the most recent nuclear k_T measurements from STAR derived from multiparticle jet reconstruction of d+Au and p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV. Since jets reconstructed from multiple particles are relatively free of fragmentation biases, nuclear k_T can be measured with greater certainty in this way than with traditional di-hadron correla

The spectral statistic $δ_n$ measures the fluctuations of the number of energy levels around its mean value. It has been shown that chaotic quantum systems display $1/f$ noise (pink noise) in the power spectrum $S(f)$ of the $δ_n$ statistic, whereas integrable ones exibit $1/f^2$ noise (brown noise). These results have been explained on the basis of the rand

We discuss the process of opinion formation in a completely homogeneous, democratic population using a class of probabilistic cellular automata models with two absorbing states. Each individual can have one of two opinions that can change according to that of his neighbors. It is dominated by an overwhelming majority and can disagree against a marginal one.

The surface of a molecule determines much of its chemical and physical property, and is of great interest and importance. In this Letter, we introduce the concept of molecular multiresolution surfaces as a new paradigm of multiscale biological modeling. Molecular multiresolution surfaces contain not only a family of molecular surfaces, corresponding to diffe

We consider a left permutive cellular automaton Phi, with no memory and positive anticipation, defined on the space of all doubly infinite sequences with entries from a finite alphabet. For each such automaton that is not one-to-one, there is a dense set of points X (which is large in another sense too) such that the Phi-orbit closure of each x in X is topol

In this paper we construct an object which we call the full Brownian web (FBW) and prove that the collection of all space-time trajectories of a class of one-dimensional stochastic flows converges weakly, under diffusive rescaling, to the FBW. The (forward) paths of the FBW include the coalescing Brownian motions of the ordinary Brownian web along with bifur

We consider an interacting particle system on the one dimensional lattice $\bf Z$ modeling combustion. The process depends on two integer parameters $2\le a<M<\infty$. Particles move independently as continuous time simple symmetric random walks except that 1. When a particle jumps to a site which has not been previously visited by any particle, it branches

In this paper, we define the quotinet graphs. In particular, we introduce the boundary quotient graphs, admissible boundary quotient graphs and subgraph boundary qoutient graphs. By the property of the quotient spaces, the boundary quotients need not be invariants on graphs. But, in certain cases, the admissible boundary quotient can be an invariant. The gra

We consider the following, intuitively described process: at time zero, all sites of a binary tree are at rest. Each site becomes activated at a random uniform [0,1] time, independent of the other sites. As soon as a site is in an infinite cluster of activated sites, this cluster of activated sites freezes. The main question is whether a process like this ex

In this paper we obtain a quadratic bound on the rate of asymptotic regularity for the Krasnoselski-Mann iterations of nonexpansive mappings in CAT(0)-spaces, whereas previous results guarantee only exponential bounds. The method we use is to extend to the more general setting of uniformly convex hyperbolic spaces a quantitative version of a strengthening of

Let D be a smoothly bounded domain in a complex vector space of dimension n. Suppose that D has a smooth defining function, such that the sum of any q eigenvalues of its complex Hessian are non-negative on the closure of D. We show that this implies global regularity of the Bergman projection on (0,j)-forms for j larger or equal to q-1.

Having in mind the well known model of Euclidean convex hypersurfaces [4], [5], and the ideas in [1] many authors defined and investigate convex hypersurfaces of a Riemannian manifold. As it was proved by the first author in [7], there follows the interdependence between convexity and Gauss curvature of the hypersurface. In this paper we define $H$-convexity

Lucio Bedulli, Anna Gori

In this paper we generalize to coisotropic actions of compact Lie groups a theorem of Guillemin on deformations of Hamiltonian structures on compact symplectic manifolds. We show how one can reconstruct from the moment polytope the symplectic form on the manifold.

A random dense countable set is characterized (in distribution) by independence and stationarity. Two examples are `Brownian local minima&#39; and `unordered infinite sample&#39;. They are identically distributed; the former ad hoc proof of this fact is now superseded by a general result.

We discuss the problem of counting {\em incidence matrices}, i.e. zero-one matrices with no zero rows or columns. Using different approaches we give three different proofs for the leading asymptotics for the number of matrices with $n$ ones as $n\to\infty$. We also give refined results for the asymptotic number of $i\times j$ incidence matrices with $n$ ones

This paper completes the proof of the Ramanujan Conjecture for holomorphic Hilbert modular forms whose weights are all congruent modulo 2. As a consequence, the Weight-Monodromy Conjecture and the zeta function conjecture of Langlands are verified for all Quaternionic Shimura varieties.

Imagine that there are two bins to which balls are added sequentially, and each incoming ball joins a bin with probability proportional to the p-th power of the number of balls already there. A general result says that if p>1/2, there almost surely is some bin that will have more balls than the other at all large enough times, a property that we call eventua

A tetrahedral curve is an unmixed, usually non-reduced, one-dimensional subscheme of projective 3-space whose homogeneous ideal is the intersection of powers of the ideals of the six coordinate lines. The second and third authors have shown that these curves have very nice combinatorial properties, and they have made a careful study of the even liaison class

Daniel R. Cole, Scott D. Pauls

We show that C^1 hypersurfaces in the Heisenberg group are countably N-rectifiable. As a corollary, this shows that all C^1_H graphs over the xy-plane are countable N-rectifiable, showing the equivalence of this notion of rectifiability with that of Franchi, Serra Cassano and Serapioni for such surfaces.

We consider two von Neumann subalgebras $\cl B_0$ and $\cl B$ of a type ${\rm{II}}_1$ factor $\cl N$. For a map $ϕ$ on $\cl N$, we define \[\|ϕ\|_{\infty,2}=\sup\{\|ϕ(x)\|_2\colon \|x\| \leq 1\},\] and we measure the distance between $\cl B_0$ and $\cl B$ by the quantity $\|{\bb E}_{\cl B_0}-{\bb E}_{\cl B}\|_{\infty,2}$.

For the massless N=1supersymmetric electrodynamics, regularized by higher derivatives, the Feynman diagrams, which define the divergent part of the two-point Green function and can not be found from Schwinger-Dyson equations and Ward identities, are partially summed.

The intrinsically relativistic problem of spinless particles subject to a general mixing of vector and scalar kink-like potentials ($\sim \mathrm{tanh} ,γx$) is investigated.

The formulation of gravity and M-theories as very-extended Kac-Moody invariant theories is reviewed.

The curved beta-gamma system is the chiral sector of a certain infinite radius limit of the non-linear sigma model with complex target space. Naively it only depends on the complex structures on the worldsheet and the target space. It may suffer from the worldsheet and target space diffeomorphism anomalies.

The probability for quantum creation of an inflationary universe with a pair of black holes is computed in a modified gravitational theory.

Type 0A string theory in the (2,4k) superconformal minimal model backgrounds, with background ZZ D-branes or R-R fluxes can be formulated non-perturbatively.

With the advent of neutrino masses, it has become more and more acknowledged that SO(10) is a more suitable theory than SU(5): it leads naturally to small neutrino masses via the see-saw mechanism, it has a simpler and more predictive Yukawa sector. There is however a rather strong disagreement on what the minimal consistent SO(10) theory is, i.e. what the H

Recently, out-of-equilibrium field theory has been studied using approximations based on truncations of the 2PI effective action. Although results are promising, the convergence of subsequent orders of the approximation is difficult to get a handle on, mainly because, generically, only the lowest non-trivial order is currently numerically tractable. We study

If supersymmetric particles are produced at the Large Hadron Collider it becomes very important not only to identify them, but also to determine their masses with the highest possible precision, since this may lead to an understanding of the SUSY-breaking mechanism and the physics at some higher scale.

New relations between QCD Borel sum rules for strong coupling constants of K-mesons to baryons are derived. It is shown that starting from the sum rule for the coupling constants $g_{πΣΣ}$ and $g_{πΣΛ}$ it is straightforward to obtain corresponding sum rules for the $g_{K Y N}$, $g_{K Y Ξ}$ couplings, $Y=Σ,Λ$.

A class of previously unknown strong-interaction corrections is found to enhance the rate of non-leptonic decays of the b quark by 5-8 percent. This effect decreases the predicted fraction of semi-leptonic decays and brings it into fair agreement with experimental results. As well as solving a long-standing puzzle of measurements disagreeing with the Standar

Using the finite-range regularisation (FRR) of chiral effective field theory, the chiral extrapolation formula for the vector meson mass is derived for the case of partially-quenched QCD. We re-analyse the dynamical fermion QCD data for the vector meson mass from the CP-PACS collaboration. A global fit, including finite lattice spacing effects, of all 16 of

I review how the phenomenology of localization applies to fermions in lattice gauge theory, present measurements of the localization length and other quantities, and discuss the consequences for things like the overlap kernel.

I review recent theoretical developments and numerical results of twisted mass QCD. I argue that, combined with an efficient algorithm, twisted mass QCD can be an attractive QCD lattice action, to perform large scale simulations at small pion masses, where a matching with chiral perturbation theory can be performed. Open issues like flavour breaking effects

We study two-colour QCD with two flavours of Wilson fermion at non-zero chemical potential mu and zero temperature. We find evidence of two separate transitions: an onset transition at mu ~ m_pi/2 where quark number and energy densities increase from zero; and a deconfinement transition at higher mu. The mu-dependence of the number and energy densities and t

We outline a program of antineutrino cross-section measurements necessary for the next generation of neutrino oscillation experiments, that can be performed with one year of data at MiniBooNE. We describe three independent methods of constraining wrong-sign (neutrino) backgrounds in an antineutrino beam, and their application to the MiniBooNE antineutrino cr

Black holes acting as gravitational lenses produce, besides the primary and secondary weak field images, two infinite sets of relativistic images. These images can be studied using the strong field limit, an analytic method based on a logarithmic asymptotic approximation of the deflection angle. In this work, braneworld black holes are analyzed as gravitatio
