Examples in Context

  1. Cross sections of both single and double photon are calculated in leading order QCD corrections.
  2. By using the light cone sum rules, we calculate the D → K1 ( including the spin triplet K1 A and the spin singlet K1B ) transition form factors at the leading order of 1 / mQ.
  3. By evaluating the trace of the fixed eigenfunctions and expanding to the leading order in 1 / D expansion, we have obtained the heavy quark potential.
  4. A higher order asymptotic analysis for orthotropic plates was presented with the leading order interior solutions reduced to the well known Kirchhoff plate theory;
  5. While in the high acceleration ( high temperature ) limit, the energy level shifts of an accelerated atom display completely different behav-iors, even in the leading order, from those of a static atom in a thermal bath at the Unruh temperature in all three distance regimes.
