About

M. Scott Demyan is an Associate Professor in Soil and Environmental Mineralogy at The Ohio State University, affiliated with the School of Environment and Natural Resources (SENR). He joined the SENR faculty in January 2017 as an assistant professor, focusing his research on soil and environmental mineralogy with an emphasis on carbon permanence. His research pursuits include studying soil organic matter and mineral stabilization mechanisms, inorganic carbon dynamics, and ex situ mineral carbonation as a method for carbon sequestration. Demyan's work aims to understand and develop strategies for soil carbon storage and environmental mineral interactions, contributing to the broader fields of soil science and environmental sustainability.

  The rates for producing $t$ and $b$ quarks in, respectively, neutrino and antineutrino interactions with nucleons are estimated. Experimental quark-parton distribution functions, SU(2) \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} SU(2) \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} U(1) gauge group mixing angles, and threshold suppression through rescaling are used in the calculation. The ratios to total cross sections of $b$-quark production by $\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}$, ${R}_{b}^{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}$, and $t$-quark production by $\ensuremath{\nu}$, ${R}_{t}^{\ensuremath{\nu}}$, are, respectively, ${R}_{b}^{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}\ensuremath{\approx}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$ and ${R}_{t}^{\ensuremath{\nu}}\ensuremath{\approx}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$ for an incident energy of 200 GeV.

  The distribution function for the production of charged and neutral pions via isoscalar and isovector clusters is developed. The production of the clusters satisfies the limited-charge-exchange constraint and they decay into from one to four final-state pions. We find that isoscalar-cluster production is suppressed and that the cluster size must vary slowly with the total energy.

  We study a two-component model in which the dominant nondiffractive component possesses Koba, Nielsen, and Olesen scaling and the other component is diffractive. This model is fitted to the available $\mathrm{pp}$ and ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}p$ topological cross sections above 10 GeV/c, and is used to make predictions at higher energies. For purposes of comparison, a one-component scaling model is also considered.

  Bounds on the coefficients of the linear and quadratic terms in the scalar and vector form factors for ${K}_{l3}$ decay are obtained in the framework of chiral $\mathrm{SU}(3)\ensuremath{\bigotimes}\mathrm{SU}(3)$ breaking.

• Complex Poles in the Unitarized Veneziano Model

  article1st authorCorresponding

  We have searched for complex poles in a unitarized Veneziano model of $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}$ scattering considered previously. Complex poles in the physical sheet, ghosts, are found in all the $s$- and $p$-wave channels, but their effect is physically significant only for the $I=2$, $l=0$ channel.
