Renormalization Constants of Quark Operators for the Non-Perturbatively Improved Wilson Action
2004
We present the results of an extensive lattice calculation of the renormalization constants of bilinear and four-quark operators for the non-perturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson action. The results are obtained in the quenched approximation at four values of the lattice coupling by using the non-perturbative RI/MOM renormalization method. Several sources of systematic uncertainties, including discretization errors and final volume effects, are examined. The contribution of the Goldstone pole, which in some cases may affect the extrapolation of the renormalization constants to the chiral limit, is non-perturbatively subtracted. The scale independent renormalization constants of bilinear quark…
Quark masses and the chiral condensate with a non-perturbative renormalization procedure
1999
We determine the quark masses and the chiral condensate in the MSbar scheme at NNLO from Lattice QCD in the quenched approximation at beta=6.0, beta=6.2 and beta=6.4 using both the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover fermion action. We extract these quantities using the Vector and the Axial Ward Identities and non-perturbative values of the renormalization constants. We compare the results obtained with the two methods and we study the O(a) dependence of the quark masses for both actions.
Light Quark Masses from Lattice Quark Propagators at Large Momenta
1999
We compute non-perturbatively the average up-down and strange quark masses from the large momentum (short-distance) behaviour of the quark propagator in the Landau gauge. This method, which has never been applied so far, does not require the explicit calculation of the quark mass renormalization constant. Calculations were performed in the quenched approximation, by using O(a)-improved Wilson fermions. The main results of this study are ml^RI(2GeV)=5.8(6)MeV and ms^RI(2GeV)=136(11)MeV. Using the relations between different schemes, obtained from the available four-loop anomalous dimensions, we also find ml^RGI=7.6(8)MeV and ms^RGI=177(14)MeV, and the MSbar-masses, ml^MS(2GeV)=4.8(5)MeV and …
Effective kink-kink interaction in a one-dimensional model mediated by phonon exchange
1994
The general 1D double-well model with anharmonic interaction is considered in the displacive limit. Expansion of the Hamiltonian around a multikink state results in a phonon-kink Hamiltonian. It is shown that at rather low temperatures and short wave lengths the phonon-kink interaction can be treated in Born approximation, leading to a decomposition of the multikink-phonon Hamiltionian. Elimination of the phonons results in an effective potential for the kink-kink interaction, which corresponds to the one-dimensional analog of the RKKY interaction. This long-range interaction is inherent only for models with anharmonic on-site potentials and not in case of a double-parabola model.
Scattering of Particles by Potentials
2013
The three prototypes of spectra of self-adjoint operators, the discrete spectrum, with or without degeneracy, the continuous spectrum, and the mixed spectrum, as well as the corresponding wave functions, contain important information about the physical systems that they describe
Evaluation using m.c.n.p. code of the bremsstrahlung energy spectrum produced by interactions between structural materials and accelerated electrons
2004
Abstract In order to design the biological shield of industrial accelerator plants, it is needed to have a good knowledge of the bremsstrahlung energy spectrum and the intensity of the bremsstrahlung produced by electron interactions with both products (usually water equivalent) and structural materials such as concrete, iron, aluminium. Using the MCNP code, a normalized bremsstrahlung energy spectrum was obtained for materials with average atomic number lower than or equal to 13 and irradiated with 5 and 10 Mev electrons, respectively; multiplying the spectrum by suitable coefficients, it was possible to obtain the real spectrum for materials such as water, concrete, aluminium and iron. Th…
Stochastic models for heterogeneous relaxation: Application to inhomogeneous optical lineshapes
2001
Dynamic heterogeneity has often been modeled by assuming that a single-particle observable, fluctuating at a molecular scale, is influenced by its coupling to environmental variables fluctuating on a second, perhaps slower, time scale. Starting from the most simple Gaussian Markov process we model the exchange between 'slow' and 'fast' environments by treating the fluctuating single-particle variable as a projection from a higher-dimensional Markov process. The moments of the resulting stochastic process are calculated from the corresponding Master equations or Langevin equations, depending on the model. The calculations show the importance of the way to treat exchange processes. The result…
Numerical study on the limit of quasi-static approximation for plasmonic nanosphere
2019
Plasmonic nanospheres are often employed as resonant substrates in many nanophotonic applications, like in enhanced spectroscopy, near-field microscopy, photovoltaics, and sensing. Accurate calculation and tuning of optical responses of such nanospheres are essential to achieve optimal performance. Mie theory is widely used to calculate optical properties of spherical particles. Although, an approximated version of Mie approach, the quasi-static approximation (QSA) can also be used to determine the very same properties of those spheres with a lot simpler formulations. In this work, we report our numerical study on the limit and accuracy of QSA with respect to the rigorous Mie approach. We c…
Analytical investigation of solitary waves in nonlinear Kerr medium
2004
Abstract We study analytically the solution of nonlinear equation which result from the propagation of electromagnetic waves within a nonlinear Kerr medium. The medium is characterized by a dielectric constant which varies periodically and depends on the local field intensity. As a first step, we detail the resolution of the nonlinear equations with a quadratic nonlinearity. After that, we apply the slowly varying envelope approximation to obtain a Sine–Gordon equation. In this kind of nonlinearity, a gap solitons occurs. Moreover we verify that the solutions of the nonlinear equation for all frequencies within the gap are solitons solutions. After that we study the conditions of apparition…
High-temperature series analysis of the p-state Potts glass model on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices
1999
We analyze recently extended high-temperature series expansions for the “Edwards-Anderson” spin-glass susceptibility of the p-state Potts glass model on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices for the case of a symmetric bimodal distribution of ferro- and antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor couplings \(\). In these star-graph expansions up to order 22 in the inverse temperature \(\), the number of Potts states p and the dimension d are kept as free parameters which can take any value. By applying several series analysis techniques to the new series expansions, this enabled us to determine the critical coupling Kc and the critical exponent \(\) of the spin-glass susceptibility in a large region of …
