AbstractRecently a slight tension between data and predictions has been reported in $$t\bar{t}W$$ t t ¯ W production by both the CMS and ATLAS collaborations. We revisit the theoretical predictions for this process, focussing on the following two effects. We disentangle various effects that lead to asymmetries among the leptonic decay products of the (anti-)top quarks and W bosons, for which we find that the spin correlations in the top-quark pair are the dominant source. We also discuss the impact of the large, formally subleading, electroweak corrections to $$t\bar{t}W$$ t t ¯ W production at the LHC. We find that this effect changes the $$t\bar{t}W$$ t t ¯ W cross section significantly in the signature phase-space regions, and should therefore be included differentially in the theory to data comparisons.

The calculation of two- and four-spin correlations of the [Formula: see text] antiferromagnet has been extended to an N = 21 site triangular lattice. By fitting a quadratic in 1/N to the nearest neighbour transverse spin correlations, we have estimated the ground-state energy per bond on the infinite lattice to be E0/3NJ = −0.2716 ± 0.005. The nearest neighbour longitudinal correlation is estimated to be [Formula: see text]. A short-range order parameter, the chirality, is defined and estimated for the infinite lattice. From the N dependence of the three sublattice or helical magnetization, the spin correlation is conjectured to decay algebraically as [Formula: see text].

For the identification of non-trivial quantum phase, we exploit a Bell-type correlation that is applied to the one-dimensional spin-1 XXZ chain. It is found that our generalization of bipartite Bell correlation can take a decomposed form of transverse spin correlation together with high-order terms. The formulation of the density-matrix renormalisation group is utilized to obtain the ground state of a given Hamiltonian with non-trivial phase. Subsequently Bell-type correlation is evaluated through the analysis of the matrix product state. Diverse classes of quantum phase transitions in the spin-1 model are identified precisely through the evaluation of the first and the second moments of the generalized Bell correlations. The role of high-order terms in the criticality has been identified and their physical implications for the quantum phase have been revealed.

With respect to structural consequences within a material, energetic electrons, above a threshold value of energy characteristic of a particular material, produce vacancy-interstial pairs (Frenkel pairs) by displacement of individual atoms, as illustrated for several materials in Table 1. Ion projectiles produce cascades of Frenkel pairs. Such displacement cascades result from high energy primary knock-on atoms which produce many secondary defects. These defects rearrange to form a variety of defect complexes on the time scale of tens of picoseconds following the primary displacement. A convenient measure of the extent of irradiation damage, both for electrons and ions, is the number of displacements per atom (dpa). 1 dpa means, on average, each atom in the irradiated region of material has been displaced once from its original lattice position. Displacement rate (dpa/s) is proportional to particle flux (cm-2s-1), the proportionality factor being the “displacement cross-section” σD (cm2). The cross-section σD depends mainly on the masses of target and projectile and on the kinetic energy of the projectile particle.
