Domain wall pinning in a circular cross-section wire with modulated diameter

Domain wall propagation in cylindrical nanowires with modulations of diameter is a key phenomenon to design physics-oriented devices, or a disruptive three-dimensional magnetic memory. This chapter presents a combination of analytical modelling and micromagnetic simulations, with the aim to present a comprehensive panorama of the physics of pinning of domain walls at modulations, when moved under the stimulus of a magnetic field or a spin-polarized current. For the sake of considering simple physics, we consider diameters of a few tens of nanometers at most, and accordingly domain walls of transverse type. Modeling with suitable approximations provides simple scaling laws, while simulations are more accurate, refining the results and defining the range of validity of the models. While pinning increases with the relative change of diameter, a key feature is the much larger efficiency of pinning at an increase of diameter upon considering current rather than field, due to the drastic decrease of current density related to the increase of diameter.

Electroproduction of Charmonia off Protons and Nuclei

Elastic virtual photoproduction of charmonia on nucleons is calculated in a parameter free way with the light-cone dipole formalism and the same input: factorization in impact parameters, light-cone wave functions for the photons and the charmonia, and the universal phenomenological dipole cross section which is fitted to other data. The charmonium wave functions are calculated with four known realistic potentials, and two models for the dipole cross section are tested. Very good agreement with data for the cross section of charmonium electroproduction is found in a wide range of $s$ and $Q^2$. Using the ingredients from those calculations we calculate also exclusive electroproduction of charmonia off nuclei. Here new effects become important, (i) color filtering of the $c\bar c$ pair on its trajectory through nuclear matter, (ii) dependence on the finite lifetime of the $c\bar c$ fluctuation (coherence length) and (iii) gluon shadowing in a nucleus compared to the one in a nucleon. Total coherent and incoherent cross sections for C, Cu and Pb as functions of $s$ are presented. The results can be tested with future electron-nucleus colliders or in the peripheral collisions of relativistic heavy ions.

Electroproduction of Charmonia off Nuclei

In a recent publication we have calculated elastic charmonium production in ep collisions employing realistic charmonia wave functions and dipole cross sections and have found good agreement with the data in a wide range of s and Q^2. Using the ingredients from those calculations we calculate exclusive electroproduction of charmonia off nuclei. Here new effects become important, (i) color filtering of the c-cbar pair on its trajectory through nuclear matter, (ii) dependence on the finite lifetime of the c-cbar fluctuation (coherence length) and (iii) gluon shadowing in a nucleus compared to the one in a nucleon. Total coherent and incoherent cross sections for C, Cu and Pb as functions of s and Q^2 are presented together with some differential cross sections. The results can be tested with future electron-nucleus colliders or in peripheral collisions of ultrarelativistic heavy ions.

Photoproduction of Charmonia and Total Charmonium-Proton Cross Sections

Elastic virtual photoproduction cross sections gamma^*p -> J/psi(psi')p and total charmonium-nucleon cross sections for J/psi, psi' and chi states are calculated in a parameter free way with the light-cone dipole formalism and the same input: factorization in impact parameters, light-cone wave functions for the gamma^* and the charmonia, and the universal phenomenological dipole cross section which is fitted to other data. The charmonium wave functions are calculated with four known realistic potentials, and two models for the dipole cross section are tested. Very good agreement with data for the cross section of charmonium photoproduction is found in a wide range of s and Q^2. The inclusion of the Melosh spin rotation increases the psi' photoproduction rate by a factor 2-3 and removes previously observed discrepancies in the psi' to J/psi ratio in photoproduction. We also calculate the charmonium-proton cross sections whose absolute values and energy dependences are found to correlate strongly with the sizes of the states.

Transverse QCD Dynamics Near the Light Cone

Starting from the QCD Hamiltonian in near-light cone coordinates, we study the dynamics of the gluonic zero modes. Euclidean 2+1 dimensional lattice simulations show that the gap at strong coupling vanishes at intermediate coupling. This result opens the possibility to synchronize the continuum limit with the approach to the light cone.

Prompt Contributions to the Dilepton Yield in Heavy Ion Collisions

The mass spectrum is calculated for those dileptons which are produced in the early phase of a heavy ion collisions via the direct production NN -> (l^+)(l^-)X and via the Compton process GN -> (l^+)(l^-)X with prompt gluons radiated in preceding NN interactions. Both mechanisms produce a mass spectrum which decreases steeply with invariant mass of the l^+l^- pair and which is below the CERES data for Pb-Au collisions by about one order of magnitude.

Quark-antiquark resonances in the NJL model

The problem of the $ρ$ meson resonance solution in the extended NJL model is studied. It has been shown previously that the solution for the $ρ$ meson changes smoothly from a bound state to a "virtual state" when the vector channel attraction becomes too weak to support bound state solutions. We have found that together with these solutions a separate resonance branch appears which is not connected smoothly with the bound state solutions. At small values of constituent quark mass, $m\sim 200$ MeV, it corresponds to the physical vector meson resonance solution in the quark-continuum region. The $a_1$ and $σ$ resonances are also discussed.
