TL;DR: In this article, the authors assume that the strong interactions of baryons and mesons are correctly described in terms of the broken "eightfold way", and they are tempted to look for some fundamental explanation of the situation.
TL;DR: A kinetic theory for the nonlinear evolution of a magnetic island in a collisionless plasma confined in a toroidal magnetic system is presented in this paper, where an asymptotic analysis of a Grad-Shafranov equation including neoclassical effects such as island bootstrap current defines an equation for the time dependence of the island width.
Abstract: A kinetic theory for the nonlinear evolution of a magnetic island in a collisionless plasma confined in a toroidal magnetic system is presented. An asymptotic analysis of a Grad–Shafranov equation including neoclassical effects such as island bootstrap current defines an equation for the time dependence of the island width. Initially, the island bootstrap current strongly influences the island evolution. As the island surpasses a certain critical width the effect of the island bootstrap current diminishes and the island grows at the Rutherford rate. For current profiles such that Δ’<0 the island bootstrap current saturates the island.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a statistical bootstrap model of strong interactions for hadronic matter with particular emphasis on hot nuclear matter as created in relativistic heavy ion collisions and applied their theory to calculate temperatures and average transverse momenta of nucleons and pions from the decay of hadronic fireballs.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Pomeranchuk trajectory is generated by iteration of lower-meson trajectories, whose average residue is correlated with average trajectory height, and the model yields a two-parameter formula for multiple-production cross sections that agrees satisfactorily with nucleon-nucleon data up to 30 GeV.
Abstract: A crude bootstrap model is constructed, based on forward-direction unitarity and the multi-Regge hypothesis. The Pomeranchuk trajectory is generated by iteration of lower-meson trajectories, whose average residue is correlated with average trajectory height. Iteration of the Pomeranchuk turns out to be a small but nonvanishing perturbation that requires the effective average height of the Pomeranchuk trajectory to be slightly less than 1. The model yields a two-parameter formula for multiple-production cross sections that agrees satisfactorily with nucleon-nucleon data up to 30 GeV.
TL;DR: The authors focus on bootstrap signal detection in Gaussian and non-Gaussian interference as well as bootstrap model selection, which includes applications to real-world problems in areas such as radar and sonar, biomedical engineering and automotive engineering.
Abstract: The statistical bootstrap is one of the methods that can be used to calculate estimates of a certain number of unknown parameters of a random process or a signal observed in noise, based on a random sample. Such situations are common in signal processing and the bootstrap is especially useful when only a small sample is available or an analytical analysis is too cumbersome or even impossible. This book covers the foundations of the bootstrap, its properties, its strengths and its limitations. The authors focus on bootstrap signal detection in Gaussian and non-Gaussian interference as well as bootstrap model selection. The theory developed in the book is supported by a number of useful practical examples written in MATLAB. The book is aimed at graduate students and engineers, and includes applications to real-world problems in areas such as radar and sonar, biomedical engineering and automotive engineering.
