GEM-TPC TRACKERS FOR THE SUPER-FRS AT FAIR
For the slow extraction part of the beam diagnostics system of the Superconducting Projectile Fragment Separator (Super-FRS) of FAIR-facility a total of 32 detectors are needed. They will be used for beam monitoring, tracking and characterization of the produced ions. GEM-TPC detectors can perform over wide dynamic range without disturbing the beam and are thus suitable for this kind of in-beam detection. We present the simulations and first measurements with the GEMs of the Super-FRS GEM-TPC prototype.

Measurements of interaction cross sections for light neutron-rich nuclei at relativistic energies and determination of effective matter radii
Abstract We measured the interaction cross sections ( σ I ) of 10,11B, 12–20C, 14–23N, 16–24O and 18–26F on carbon targets at energies of around 950 A MeV. We then deduced the effective matter radii of the nuclei by a Glauber-model analysis. Based on the assumption of a core plus a valence neutron structure, we applied a Glauber-model analysis for a few-body system adapted for nuclei with an odd neutron number. We also deduced the effective nucleus-matter densities as well as some spectroscopic information for selected nuclei. Evidence for a one-neutron halo structure was found for 22N, 23O and 24F, as well as 19C.

New isomers in the full seniority scheme of neutron-rich lead isotopes: the role of effective three-body forces.
The neutron-rich lead isotopes, up to (216)Pb, have been studied for the first time, exploiting the fragmentation of a primary uranium beam at the FRS-RISING setup at GSI. The observed isomeric states exhibit electromagnetic transition strengths which deviate from state-of-the-art shell-model calculations. It is shown that their complete description demands the introduction of effective three-body interactions and two-body transition operators in the conventional neutron valence space beyond (208)Pb.

The new element 112
The new element 112 was produced and identified unambiguously in an experiment at SHIP, GSI Darmstadt. Two decay chains of the isotope277112 were observed in irradiations of208Pb targets with70Zn projectiles of 344 MeV kinetic energy. The isotope decays by emission of α particles with a half-life of (240−90+430)µs. Two different α energies of (11,649±20) keV and (11,454±20) keV were measured for the two observed decays. The cross-section measured in three weeks of irradiations is (1.0−0.4+1.8) pb.

Structure of neutron-rich oxygen isotopes
One-nucleon removal reactions at relativistic energies have been used as a spectroscopic tool for obtaining information about the ground state of neutron-rich oxygen isotopes. Using the FRS at GSI, the longitudinal momentum distributions of the emerging fragments after breakup were measured along with the one-nucleon removal cross-sections. The relative contributions of the remaining fragments in their ground and excited states have been determined for a few cases from measurements of γ rays in coincidence with the longitudinal momentum distribution. The controversial case of 23O has been directly addressed. Comparison of our exclusive momentum distributions for the one-neutron removal channel to theoretical momentum distributions calculated with an Eikonal model for the knockout process rendered a spin and parity of Iπ = 1/2+ for the 23O ground state. This result resolves the existent experimental discrepancy and supports sub-shell closure at N = 14 with a fairly pure 2s1/2 neutron in 23O.

One-neutron removal measurement reveals 24O as a new doubly magic nucleus.
The first measurement of the momentum distribution for one-neutron removal from (24)O at 920A MeV performed at GSI, Darmstadt is reported. The observed distribution has a width (FWHM) of 99 +/- 4 MeV/c in the projectile rest frame and a one-neutron removal cross section of 63 +/- 7 mb. The results are well explained with a nearly pure 2s_{1/2} neutron spectroscopic factor of 1.74 +/- 0.19 within the eikonal model. This large s-wave probability shows a spherical shell closure thereby confirming earlier suggestions that (24)O is a new doubly magic nucleus.

Review of AdS/CFT Integrability, Chapter III.5: Lüscher Corrections
In integrable quantum field theories, the large volume spectrum is given by the Bethe Ansatz. The leading corrections, due to virtual particles circulating around the cylinder, are encoded in so-called Lüscher corrections. In order to apply these techniques to the AdS/CFT correspondence, one has to generalize these corrections to the case of generic dispersion relations and to multiparticle states. We review these various generalizations and the applications of Lüscher’s corrections to the study of the worldsheet QFT of the superstring in AdS5 × S5 and, consequently, to anomalous dimensions of operators in $${\mathcal{N}=4}$$ SYM theory.

Solution of the odderon problem for arbitrary conformal weights
A new method is applied to solve the Baxter equation for three coupled, noncompact spins. Because of the equivalence with the system of three Reggeized gluons, the intercept of the odderon trajectory is predicted for the first time, as the analytic function of the two relevant parameters. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

SO(N) superpotential, Seiberg–Witten curves and loop equations
Abstract We consider the exact superpotential of N =1 super-Yang–Mills theory with gauge group SO ( N ) and arbitrary tree-level polynomial superpotential of one adjoint Higgs field. A field-theoretic derivation of the glueball superpotential is given, based on factorization of the N =2 Seiberg–Witten curve. Following the conjecture of Dijkgraaf and Vafa, the result is matched with the corresponding SO ( N ) matrix model prediction. The verification involves an explicit solution of the first non-trivial loop equation, relating the spherical free energy to that of the non-orientable surfaces with topology RP 2 .

Non-Hermitian random matrix models: Free random variable approach
Using the standard concepts of free random variables, we show that for a large class of non-Hermitian random matrix models, the support of the eigenvalue distribution follows from their Hermitian analogs using a conformal transformation. We also extend the concepts of free random variables to the class of non-Hermitian matrices, and apply them to the models discussed by Ginibre-Girko (elliptic ensemble) [J. Ginibre, J. Math. Phys. {bold 6}, 1440 (1965); V. L. Girko, {ital Spectral Theory of Random Matrices} (in Russian) (Nauka, Moscow, 1988)] and Mahaux-Weidenm{umlt u}ller (chaotic resonance scattering) [C. Mahaux and H. A. Weidenm{umlt u}ller, {ital Shell-model Approach to Nuclear Reactions} (North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1969)]. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

Towards the lattice study of M-theory
We propose the Wilson discretization of the supersymmetric Yang-Mills Quantum Mechanics as a lattice version of the matrix model of M-theory. An SU(2) model is studied numerically in the quenched approximation for D=4. A clear signal for the existence of two different phases is found and the continuum pseudocritical temperature is determined. We have also extracted the continuum limit of the total size of the system in both phases and for different temperatures.
