Frühdiagenetische Karbonatzementation in glazigenen und fluviatilen Sedimenten des Wesertales NW Hameln

In the Weser valley NW Hameln early diagenetic carbonate cementation is present in the upper Elsterian to Drenthe sediments. Examination of the calcite cement indicated a multiphase formation. Cementation occured mainly in vadose environment above ground-water table. This process generated predominantly brown calcite cement with a crystal size of <5 to 20pm. Next to meniscus-cement this fine-crystalline calcite forms further cements typical for vadose zone. In one layer of the „Mittelterrasse'-sediments, deposited in the late Elsterian age, a calcite cement is present, which may already have formed in the Holstein Interglacial. Cementation started in the upper-most layers of the „Mittelterrasse'-sediments in a late phase of „Mittelterrasse“-accumulation in this area. The so formed consolidated layers were deformed by the Drentheglacier. After ice melting cementation continued in at least 3 phases, creating nonluminiscent phreatic, orange to red luminiscent vadose and nonluminiscent vadose calcite cement.

Asymptotic scattering and duality in the one-dimensional three-state quantum Potts model on a lattice

We determine numerically the single-particle and the two-particle spectrum of the three-state quantum Potts model on a lattice by using the density matrix renormalization group method, and extract information on the asymptotic (small momentum) S-matrix of the quasiparticles. The low energy part of the finite size spectrum can be understood in terms of a simple effective model introduced in a previous work, and is consistent with an asymptotic S-matrix of an exchange form below a momentum scale p*. This scale appears to vanish faster than the Compton scale, mc, as one approaches the critical point, suggesting that a dangerously irrelevant operator may be responsible for the behaviour observed on the lattice.
