Superfield commutators for D = 4 chiral multiplets and their apppications

1987

The superfield commutators and their corresponding equal-time limits are derived in a covariant way for the D=4 free massive chiral multiplet. For interesting chiral multiplets, the general KAllen-Lehmann representation is also introduced. As applications of the free superfield commutators, the general solution of the Cauchy problem for chiral superfields is given, and an analysis of the closure of the bilinear products of superfields which desrcibe the extension of the internal currents for free supersymmetric chiral matter is performed.

Translationally invariant coupled cluster method in coordinate space for nuclei

2002

We study a formulation of the translationally invariant coupled cluster method in coordinate space for finite nuclei. The new formulation remedies convergence problems that plagued previous calculations in configuration space. The method is applied to light nuclei using semi-realistic central interactions.

London equation of state for a quantum-hard-sphere system

1994

The London analytical interpolation equation between zero and packing densities for the ground-state energy of a many-boson hard-sphere system is corrected for the reduced mass of a pair of particles in a ``sphere-of-influence'' picture. It is thus brought into good agreement with computer simulations and with experimental results extrapolated out to close packing.

Sub-Barrier Coulomb Excitation ofSn110and Its Implications for theSn100Shell Closure

2007

The first excited 2(+) state of the unstable isotope Sn-110 has been studied in safe Coulomb excitation at 2.82 MeV/u using the MINIBALL array at the REX-ISOLDE post accelerator at CERN. This is the first measurement of the reduced transition probability of this state using this method for a neutron deficient Sn isotope. The strength of the approach lies in the excellent peak-to-background ratio that is achieved. The extracted reduced transition probability, B(E2 : 0(+) -> 2(+)) 0.220 +/- 0.022e(2) b(2), strengthens the observation of the evolution of the B(E2) values of neutron deficient Sn isotopes that was observed recently in intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation of Sn-108. It implies …

Dynamic rigidity transition.

2003

An inflated closed loop (or membrane) is used to demonstrate a dynamic rigidity transition that occurs when impact energy is added to the loop in static equilibrium at zero temperature. The only relevant parameter in this transition is the ratio of the energy needed to collapse the loop and the impact energy. When this ratio is below a threshold value close to unity, the loop collapses into a high-entropy floppy state, and it does not return to the rigid state unless the impact energy can escape. The internal oscillations are in the floppy state dominated by 1/f(2) noise. When the ratio is above the threshold, the loop does not collapse, and the internal oscillations resulting from the impa…

Frequency influence on the hot-electron noise reduction in GaAs operating under periodic signals

2008

A Monte Carlo study of the role of the frequency on the hot-electron intrinsic noise reduction in an n-type GaAs bulk driven by two mixed cyclostationary electric fields is presented. Previous numerical results showed the possibility to reduce the diffusion noise under specific wave-mixing conditions. In this work the variations of the noise properties are investigated by computing and integrating the spectral density of the velocity fluctuations. We found that the effect of reduction of the noise level due to the addition of a second field at twice frequency is almost independent of the frequency.

Beta-decay half-lives at the N = 28 shell closure

2004

Abstract Measurements of the beta-decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei (MgAr) in the vicinity of the N =28 shell closure are reported. Some 22 half-lives have been determined, 12 of which for the first time. Particular emphasis is placed on the results for the Si isotopes, the half-lives of which have been extended from N =25 to 28. Comparison with QRPA calculations suggests that 42 Si is strongly deformed. This is discussed in the light of a possible weakening of the spin–orbit potential.

Translationally invariant treatment of pair correlations in nuclei - II. Tensor correlations

1998

We study the extension of our translationally invariant treatment of few-body nuclear systems to include tensor forces and correlations. It is shown that a direct application of our method is not as successful for realistic V6 interactions as our previous results for V4 potentials suggested. We investigate the cause in detail for the case of $^4$He, and show that a combination of our method with that of Jastrow-correlated wave functions seems to be a lot more powerful, thereby suggesting that for mildly to strongly repulsive forces such a hybrid procedure may be an appropriate description.
