  abstract     = {Several fixed-target experiments reported J/ψ and ϒ polarizations, as functions of Feynman x (xF) and transverse momentum (PT), in three different frames, using different combinations of beam particles, target nuclei, and collision energies. Despite the diverse and heterogeneous picture formed by these measurements, a detailed look allows us to discern qualitative physical patterns that inspire a simple empirical model. This data-driven scenario offers a good quantitative description of the J/ψ and ϒ(1S) polarizations measured in proton- and pion-nucleus collisions, in the xF 0.5 domain: more than 80 data points (not statistically independent) are well reproduced with only one free parameter. This study sets the context for future low-PT
 quarkonium polarization measurements in proton- and pion-nucleus collisions, such as those to be made by the AMBER experiment, and shows that such measurements provide significant constraints on the poorly-known parton distribution functions of the pion.},

  abstract     = {We study few-body bound states of charged particles subject to attractive zero-range/short-range plus repulsive Coulomb interparticle forces. The characteristic length scales of the system at zero energy are set by the Coulomb length scale D and the Coulomb-modified effective range r eff. We study shallow bound states of charged particles with D >> r eff and show that these systems obey universal scaling laws different from neutral particles. An accurate description of these states requires both the Coulomb-modified scattering length and the effective range unless the Coulomb interaction is very weak (D -> ). Our findings are relevant for bound states whose spatial extent is significantly larger than the range of the attractive potential. These states enjoy universality – their character is independent of the shape of the short-range potential.},

  abstract     = {In this Letter we exhibit a one-parameter family of new Taub-NUT instantons parameterized by a half-line. The endpoint of the half-line will be the reducible Yang-Mills instanton corresponding to the Eguchi-Hanson-Gibbons L2 harmonic 2-form, while at an inner point we recover the Pope-Yuille instanton constructed as a projection of the Levi-Civitá connection onto the positive su(2)+ ⊂ so(4) subalgebra. Our method imitates the Jackiw-Nohl-Rebbi construction originally designed for flat R4. That is we find a one-parameter family of harmonic functions on the Taub-NUT space with a point singularity, rescale the metric and project the obtained Levi-Civitá connection onto the other negative su(2)- ⊂ so(4) part. Our solutions will possess the full U(2) symmetry, and thus provide more solutions to the recently proposed U(2) symmetric ansatz of Kim and Yoon.},
