Radio core dominance, usually measured by R, the rest frame ratio of core to lobe flux density, has been used as an indicator of Doppler boosting of quasars' radio jets and hence the inclination of the central engine's spin axis to the line…

We review the status of Standard Model predictions for lifetimes and mixing rates of charmed mesons. It is shown that the short distance approach is able to reproduce tau(D^+)/tau(D^0) at leading order in the 1/m_c expansion. SU(3)…
STAR has measured forward pi^0 production in p+p and d+Au collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV. The p+p yield generally agrees with NLO pQCD calculations. The d+Au yield is strongly suppressed at <eta>=4.0, well below shadowing expectations.…
We analytically study diffusive particle acceleration in relativistic, collisionless shocks. We find a simple relation between the spectral index s and the anisotropy of the momentum distribution along the shock front. Based on this…
Spin-dependent total pbar-d cross sections are considered using the optical theorem. For this aim the full spin dependence of the forward pbar-d elastic scattering amplitude is considered in a model independent way. The single-scattering…
In this paper, novel closed-form expressions for the level crossing rate (LCR) and average fade duration (AFD) of $\kappa-\mu$ shadowed fading channels are derived. The new equations provide the capability of modeling the correlation…
We investigate the random walk process in relativistic flow. In the relativistic flow, photon propagation is concentrated in the directions of the flow velocity due to relativistic beaming effect. We show that, in the pure scattering case,…
