Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region

Cult: A Composite Novel
No full textCult (redacted)
The first component of the thesis is a composite novel called Cult which falls into two parts with seven narratives in each. Part 1 tracks the protagonist, Ellen, from her first involvement with the cult through to her eventually leaving it. Although fiction, the first half of the book answers the kinds of questions the author is asked when people discover that she was once a sannyasin (a follower of the guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). While the experiences of meditation, group therapy and communal living are all faithfully rendered within the stories, the need for strong characters, narrative drive and a lightness of touch takes precedence.
Part 2 picks up Ellen’s story some twenty or so years later and explores what becomes of her in middle age. It also looks at other groups in society, such as academia, the law and the internet dating community which each have their own jargon, hierarchies, rituals and rules but are not considered to be cults.
The book examines the question raised in the Epigraph, ‘how do we be together when we feel so alone’ with a focus on relationships other than the familial and the romantic.
Collisions, Chasms and Connections: a Performative Exploration of the Composite Novel Form
The second part of the thesis is both a critical and creative response to three contemporary American books: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout; A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan; and Legend of a Suicide by David Vann. The critical element comprises a close reading of the three books; a chronological reconstruction of their overarching storylines; and a consideration of what their authors have said about writing the books. It concludes that, in the composite novel, the simultaneous presentation of multiple views and storylines operate much like a 3D image to give the impression of depth to the characters and situations rendered. The creative element of the essay is a playful and personal response to the texts

Average Frobenius distribution for inerts in
No full textThe authors of the paper under review extend their study of the Lang-Trotter conjecture for elliptic curves [Internat. Math. Res. Notices 1999, no. 4, 165--183; MR1677267 (2000g:11045)] to the generalised Lang-Trotter conjecture for elliptic curves, as formulated on page 182 of the paper under review. More precisely, they study the function
1#C∑E∈Cπr,fE(x),
where C is a suitable set of elliptic curves E which may depend on x, #C is the cardinality of the set C, and
πr,fE(x)=#{p:N(p)≤x,degK(p)=f, and ap(E)=r},
where E is an elliptic curve over a number field K/Q with a minimal model over the ring of integers OK, r is any fixed integer, f is a divisor of the degree [K:Q] of K over Q, p is a prime ideal in the ring of integers OK, N(p)=pf is the number of elements of the finite field OK/p, the degree of p over K is degK(p)=f, and the trace of Frobenius ap(E)=#Ep(OK/p)−N(p)−1 satisfies the Hasse bound |ap(E)|≤2N(p)−−−−√=2pf/2.
The main result of the paper under review is that for any given nonzero integer r,
1#Cx∑E∈Cxπr,2E(x)∼crloglogx,
where K=Q(i), Cx is the set of elliptic curves E:Y2=X3+αX+β, with α=a1+a2i∈Z[i], β=b1+b2i∈Z[i], and max{|a1|,|a2|,|b1|,|b2|}≤xlogx, and
cr=13π∏l>2l(l−1−(−r2l))(l−1)(l−(−1l))=1.07820...3π.
Furthermore, if r=0, then
1#Cx∑E∈Cxπ0,2E(x)<∞.
This result is in agreement with the generalised Lang-Trotter conjecture in the case f=2, which asserts that there exists a positive constant CE,r,f such that
πr,2E(x)∼CE,r,2loglogx.
The main ingredients in the proof of the main result are rapidly decreasing functions and contour integration as found in the work by A. Akbary, David and the reviewer [Acta Arith. 111 (2004), no. 3, 239--268; MR2039225 (2004k:11086)], coupled with the framework outlined by the authors of the paper under review in [op. cit.]. The authors remark that a similar result should hold for inerts in a general imaginary quadratic field, but that it is not clear how to generalise the technical details of their proof to this general case
