1. Hint for a Minimal Interaction Length in e<SUP>+</SUP>e<SUP>-</SUP>â γγ Annihilation in Total Cross Section of Center-of-Mass Energies 55-207 GeV 

   Chen, Yutao; Liu, Minghui; Ulbricht, Juergen (2024)

   Advances in High Energy Physics

   The measurements of the total cross section of the e(+)e(-)->gamma gamma(gamma) reaction from the VENUS, TOPAS, OPAL, DELPHI, ALEPH, and L3 collaborations, collected between 1989 and 2003, are used to perform a chi(2) test to validate the current quantum electrodynamics (QED) theory and search for possible deviations with the direct contact term annihilation. By observing a deviation from the QED predictions on the total cross section of ...

2. Insights Into the Structure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Suture Zone, Adaatsag Ophiolite, and Tectonic Boundaries of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (Mongolia) From Electrical Resistivity Imaging and Seismic Velocity Models 

   Comeau, Matthew J.; Rigaud, Rafael; Batmagnai, Erdenechimeg; et al. (2024)

   Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth

   The Mongol-Okhotsk suture and the Adaatsag ophiolite belt are associated with the closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk paleo-ocean and are located within the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) and Mongolia. The suture zone is flanked by volcanic-plutonic belts that host significant metallogenic zones, containing deposits of copper and gold. The tectonic evolution of this region is not fully understood and the lithospheric structure has been ...

3. A parametric study on pulse duplicator design and valve hemodynamics 

   Smid, Caroline C.; Pappas, Georgios A.; Falk, Volkmar; et al. (2024)

   Artificial Organs

   BackgroundIn vitro assessment is mandatory for artificial heart valve development. This study aims to investigate the effects of pulse duplicator features on valve responsiveness, conduct a sensitivity analysis across valve prosthesis types, and contribute on the development of versatile pulse duplicator systems able to perform reliable prosthetic aortic valve assessment under physiologic hemodynamic conditions.MethodsA reference pulse ...

4. Radiative asymptotic symmetries of 3D Einstein-Maxwell theory 

   Bosma J.; Geiller M.; Majumdar S.; et al. (2024)

   SciPost Physics

   We study the null asymptotic structure of Einstein–Maxwell theory in three-dimensional (3D) spacetimes. Although devoid of bulk gravitational degrees of freedom, the system admits a massless photon and can therefore accommodate electromagnetic radiation. We derive fall-off conditions for the Maxwell field that contain both Coulombic and radiative modes with non-vanishing news. The latter produces non-integrability and fluxes in the ...

5. Importance of Water-Clay Interactions for Fault Slip in Clay-Rich Rocks 

   Rast, Markus; Madonna, Claudio; Selvadurai, Paul A.; et al. (2024)

   Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth

   Clay-rich rocks are integral to subduction zone dynamics and of practical importance, for example, as barriers in nuclear waste and CO2 repositories. While the effects of swelling strain on the self-sealing capabilities of these rocks are relatively well-established, the implications of polar fluids interacting with charged clay particles on the frictional behavior, and the role of swelling stress in initiating slip in critically stressed ...
