TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive analysis of the statistical mechanics of randomly cross-linked polymer gels, starting from a microscopic model of a network made of instantaneously crosslinked Gaussian chains with excluded volume, and ending with the derivation of explicit expressions for the thermodynamic functions and for the density correlation functions which can be tested by experiments.

TL;DR: In this article, the electron positron annihilation cross section into hadrons and to the hadronic Z boson decay rate are reviewed and the applicability of the results in the low energy region, relevant for measurements around 10 GeV and below, is investigated and numerical predictions are collected for this energy region.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the low-energy analysis of models involving quarks and four-fermion couplings and discuss the relation with QCD and with other models of mesons and meson plus quarks at low energies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of electron attachment to molecules at energies below 0.1 eV is presented, including singlecollision and multiple-collision techniques for studying electron attachment.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is stressed that there is no physical reason for symmetries to be linear and that Lie group theory is therefore too restrictive, and the theory of finite W-algebras is reviewed.

TL;DR: In this article, a general semiclassical theory of the orbital magnetic response of noninteracting electrons confined in two-dimensional potentials is presented, and the magnetic susceptibility of singly connected and the persistent currents of multiply connected geometries are calculated.

TL;DR: In this article, the transition from reversible microdynamics to irreversible transport can be studied very efficiently and systematically with the help of the so-called projection method, which is used to analyze the well-known rate and quantum Boltzmann equations, and as a new application, the derivation of a source term which accounts for the spontaneous creation of electronpositron pairs in strong fields.

TL;DR: In this article, the interplay of color transparency with nuclear filtering is discussed, which is the conversion of quark wave functions in hadrons to smaller transverse space dimensions by interaction with a nuclear medium and a complete description of these phenomena as a multi-scale QCD process is given in terms of light-cone matrix elements.
