Mesure du rapport d'embranchement des désintégrations B^0--> pi^- l^+v et B^+--> êta^(') l^+v, du spectre des facteurs de forme des désintégrations B^0--> pi^- l^+v et B^+--> êta l^+v, et extraction de |V_ub| dans l'expérience BABAR

Nous rapportons les résultats d'une étude des désintégrations semileptoniques non-charmées B^+--> êta^(') l^+v et B^0--> pi^- l^+v, mesurés par le détecteur BABAR avec une production d'environ 464 millions de paires de mésons BBbar issues des collisions e^+e^- à la résonance Upsilon(4S). L'analyse reconstruit les événements avec une technique relâchée des neutrinos. Nous obtenons les rapports d'embranchement partiels pour les désintégrations B^+--> êta l^+v et B^0--> pi^- l^+v en trois et douze intervalles de q^2, respectivement, à partir desquels nous extrayons les facteurs de forme f_+(q^2) et les rapports d'embranchement totaux B(B^+--> êta l^+v) = (3.39 +/- 0.46_stat +/- 0.47_syst) x 10^-5 et B(B^0--> pi^- l^+v) = (1.42 +/- 0.05_stat +/- 0.08_syst) x 10^-4. Nous mesurons aussi B(B^+--> êta' l^+v) = (2.43 +/- 0.80_stat +/- 0.34_syst) x 10^-5. Nous obtenons les valeurs de la norme de l'élément |V_ub| de la matrice CKM en utilisant trois calculs différents de la CDQ.

Spin-orbit effects in GaAs quantum wells: Interplay between Rashba, Dresselhaus, and Zeeman interactions

The interplay between Rashba, Dresselhaus, and Zeeman interactions in a quantum well submitted to an external magnetic field is studied by means of an accurate analytical solution of the Hamiltonian, including electron-electron interactions in a sum-rule approach. This solution allows us to discuss the influence of the spin-orbit coupling on some relevant quantities that have been measured in inelastic light scattering and electron-spin resonance experiments on quantum wells. In particular, we have evaluated the spin-orbit contribution to the spin splitting of the Landau levels and to the splitting of charge- and spin-density excitations. We also discuss how the spin-orbit effects change if the applied magnetic field is tilted with respect to the direction perpendicular to the quantum well.

Exchange-correlation effects on quantum wires with spin-orbit interactions under the influence of in-plane magnetic fields.

Within the noncollinear local spin-density approximation, we have studied the ground state structure of a parabolically confined quantum wire submitted to an in-plane magnetic field, including both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. We have explored a wide range of linear electronic densities in the weak (strong) coupling regimes that appear when the ratio of spin-orbit to confining energy is small (large). These results are used to obtain the conductance of the wire. In the strong coupling limit, the interplay between the applied magnetic field¿irrespective of the in-plane direction, the exchange-correlation energy, and the spin-orbit energy-produces anomalous plateaus in the conductance vs linear density plots that are otherwise absent, or washes out plateaus that appear when the exchange-correlation energy is not taken into account.

{2p_\pi}-{2p_\sigma} crossing in heavy symmetric ion-atom collisions: I. Level structure

Ab initio self-consistent DFS calculations are performed for five different symmetric atomic systems from Ar-Ar to Pb-Pb. The level structure for the {2p_\pi}-{2p_\sigma} crossing as function of the united atomic charge Z_u is studied and interpreted. Manybody effects, spin-orbit splitting, direct relativistic effects as well as indirect relativistic effects are differently important for different Z_u. For the I-I system a comparison with other calculations is given.

Pi: A Parallel Architecture Interface for Multi-Model Execution

This thesis defines Pi, a parallel architecture interface that separates model and machine issues, allowing them to be addressed independently. This provides greater flexibility for both the model and machine builder. Pi addresses a set of common parallel model requirements including low latency communication, fast task switching, low cost synchronization, efficient storage management, the ability to exploit locality, and efficient support for sequential code. Since Pi provides generic parallel operations, it can efficiently support many parallel programming models including hybrids of existing models. Pi also forms a basis of comparison for architectural components.

De S' Estanyol a Cala Pi, passant per S' Estalella : una passejada per la costa llucmajorera. 'De S' Estanyol a la Cala Pi, pasando por S' Estalella : un paseo por la costa de Llucmajor'

El cuaderno es una herramienta que propone una excursi??n por la costa de Llucmajor. El objetivo de la propuesta es que los escolares conozcan y valoren un paraje ??nico, con la vida que en ??l se desarrolla. S'Estalella es una de las pocas extensiones de Mallorca que a??n gozan de un buen estado de conservaci??n, ofreciendo al visitante un panorama agreste y natural, digno de ser conservado. El anuncio del prop??sito de una empresa p??blica de construir en S'Estalella una central t??rmica inici?? una campa??a de movilizaciones entre colectivos de defensa de la naturaleza, sindicatos y asociaciones ciudadanas. El presente material did??ctico es una acci??n m??s, encaminada a concienciar a la poblaci??n en pro de la conservaci??n del patrimonio natural.
