Resolving the Tevatron Top Quark Forward-Backward Asymmetry Puzzle: Fully Differential Next-to-Next-to-Leading-Order Calculation

Michal Czakon, Paul Fiedler, and Alexander Mitov

Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 052001 (2015) - Published 28 July, 2015

Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 053001 (2015) - Published 28 July, 2015

Magnetic fields can be used to make a normally forbidden molecular transition accessible to optical excitation, using much lower fields than would be needed to achieve the same with the constituent atoms.

Interaction of Strain and Nuclear Spins in Silicon: Quadrupolar Effects on Ionized Donors

David P. Franke, Florian M. Hrubesch, Markus Künzl, Hans-Werner Becker, Kohei M. Itoh, Martin Stutzmann, Felix Hoehne, Lukas Dreher, and Martin S. Brandt
