Vibrating and shaking soliton pairs in dissipative systems
2007
We show that two-soliton solutions in nonlinear dissipative systems can exist in various forms. As with single solitons, they can be stationary, periodic or chaotic. In particular, we find new types of vibrating and shaking soliton pairs. Each type of pair is stable in the sense that the bound state exists in the same form indefinitely. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Searching for signatures around 1920 MeV of a N-* state of three hadron nature
2009
We provide a series of arguments which support the idea that the peak seen in the gamma p -> K+ Lambda reaction around 1920 MeV should correspond to the recently predicted state of J(P) = 1/2(+) as a bound state of K(K) over bar N with a mixture of alpha(0)(980)N and f(0)(980)N components. At the same time we propose polarization experiments in that reaction as a further test of the prediction, as well as a study of the total cross-section for gamma p -> K(+)K(-)p at energies close to threshold and of d sigma/dM(inv) for invariant masses close to the two-kaon threshold.
Tailoring Third-Harmonic Diffraction Efficiency by Hybrid Modes in High-Q Metasurfaces
2021
Metasurfaces are versatile tools for manipulating light; however, they have received little attention as devices for the efficient control of nonlinearly diffracted light. Here, we demonstrate nonlinear wavefront control through third-harmonic generation (THG) beaming into diffraction orders with efficiency tuned by excitation of hybrid Mie-quasi-bound states in the continuum (BIC) modes in a silicon metasurface. Simultaneous excitation of the high-Q collective Mie-type modes and quasi-BIC modes leads to their hybridization and results in a local electric field redistribution. We probe the hybrid mode by measuring far-field patterns of THG and observe the strong switching between (0,-1) and…
Quarkonium suppression in heavy-ion collisions: an open quantum system approach
2016
We address the evolution of heavy-quarkonium states in an expanding quark-gluon plasma by implementing effective field theory techniques in the framework of open quantum systems. In this setting we compute the nuclear modification factors for quarkonia that are $S$-wave Coulombic bound states in a strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma. The calculation is performed at an accuracy that is leading-order in the heavy-quark density expansion and next-to-leading order in the multipole expansion. The quarkonium density-matrix evolution equations can be written in the Lindblad form, and, hence, they account for both dissociation and recombination. Thermal mass shifts, thermal widths and the Lindblad …
Lowest order perturbative quantum field theory calculations of bound state decay widths

Alimman kertaluvun häiriöteoreettisia kvanttikenttäteorialaskuja sidottujen tilojen hajoamisleveyksille. Työssä lasketaan sidottujen tilojen hajoamisleveydet prosesseille $J/ \psi \rightarrow l^+ l^-$, $\eta_c \rightarrow gg$, $\text{O-Ps}\rightarrow \gamma\gamma\gamma$, $J/ \psi \rightarrow ggg$ ja $J/ \psi \rightarrow \gamma gg$. Prosessit lasketaan perturbatiivisen QED:n ja QCD:n alimmassa kertaluvussa. Laskuissa käydään läpi kolme erilaista tekniikkaa invariantin amplitudin käsittelemiseksi. Johdetut hajoamisleveystulokset käyvät yksiin kirjallisuudesta löytyvien tulosten kanssa. Lisäksi tarkastellaan kokeellisesti varmistettavissa olevia hajoamisleveyssuhteita. Teoreettiset ennusteet o…
