    A New model of high-spin Baryons

    They are described here as (2+1)-dimensional sheets of eta-prime condensate, with the valence quarks on the boundary. One amazing detail is that, because it is a lower-dimensional object, the quarks are anyons! This description is said to apply most immediately to single-flavor baryons like ∆++...

    B How can I model a density function of a compressible fluid?

    I have a cylinder of some dimensions. I have a compressible liquid inside. Assuming a constant temperature, no atmosphere, no convection currents within, because it is in a cylinder, there will be no variations in density horizontally (the fluid will have time to settle). Now because there is...

    I Conf.intervals for fitted parameters: divide by sqrt(n)?

    If you fit a parametrized model (i.e. y = a log(x + b) + c) to some data points the output is typically the optimized parameters (i.e. a, b, c) and the covariance matrix. The squares of the diagonal elements of this matrix are the standard errors of the optimized parameters. (i.e. sea, seb...
