Cumulants of QCD Multiplicity Distributions in Small Phase Space Bins

, 1994
It is shown that, as functions of their rank, cumulants of QCD multiplicity distributions in small phase space bins possess the quasi- oscillating behavior similar to that found for them in the total rapidity range. First minimum moves to lower ranks for

Who Are the Farmers Participating in a Carbon Sequestration Program? Results of a Discrete Choice Experiment in Germany

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural soils offer great potential for carbon sequestration through humus formation. One way to motivate farmers to build up humus is through humus programs. These are still at an early stage of development, poorly explored, and the number of participating farmers is low. Our aim is to explain the heterogeneity of farmers' willingness to
