Essential Spectra Under Perturbations
2018
The spectrum of a bounded linear operator on a Banach space X can be sectioned into subsets in many different ways, depending on the purpose of the inquiry.
Experimental observation of incoherent modulation instability in standard optical fibers
2005
In this work, we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that a partially temporally incoherent light can exhibit modulational instability when propagating in an optical fiber with instantaneous nonlinear Kerr response.
Topological Defects in Nanostructures—Chiral Domain Walls and Skyrmions
2016
In this chapter, spin structures with particular topologies in confined geometries are presented. Domain walls in nanowires exhibit a spin structure that depends on the material and geometry while in discs Skyrmions can be stabilized by different competing interactions. The topologies of these spin structures can be characterized by a Skyrmion or Winding number that governs the dynamics and stability.
A Look at Some Remarkable Mathematical Techniques
1996
The nonlinear equations that we have encountered in the previous chapters can be solved by using mathematical techniques such as the powerful inverse scattering transform (IST) (Gardner et al. 1967) and the remarkable Hirota method (Hirota 1971). Specifically, in addition to the one-soliton solutions, explicit multisoliton solutions representing the interaction of any number of solitons can be constructed. Moreover, in several cases a precise prediction, closely related to experiments, can be made by the IST of the nonlinear response of the physical system, that is, of the number of solitons that can emerge from a finite initial disturbance (Zakharov, 1980. Ablowitz and Segur 1981; Calogero…
Polar Sets in a Nonlinear Potential Theory
1988
In this lecture we discuss nonlinear potential theory based on “A-super-harmonic functions”; the theory can be viewed as a (nonlinear) extension of the classical study of superharmonic functions in ℝn.
Measurement of fission fragments energy loss
2002
Abstract The mean energy of 252 Cf fission fragments emerging from an absorber and the determination of the capture rate in the absorber itself have been measured using two independent and complementary nuclear techniques. The results can be applied to the measurement of the energy self-absorption in a non-zero thickness source and can be used to validate simulation programs.
Neutrino observatories can characterize cosmic sources and neutrino properties
2003
Neutrino telescopes that measure relative fluxes of ultrahigh-energy $\nu_{e}, \nu_{\mu}, \nu_{\tau}$ can give information about the location and characteristics of sources, about neutrino mixing, and can test for neutrino instability and for departures from CPT invariance in the neutrino sector. We investigate consequences of neutrino mixing for the neutrino flux arriving at Earth, and consider how terrestrial measurements can characterize distant sources. We contrast mixtures that arise from neutrino oscillations with those signaling neutrino decays. We stress the importance of measuring $\nu_{e}, \nu_{\mu}, \nu_{\tau}$ fluxes in neutrino observatories.
Improved unitarized Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory for π N scattering
2000
We show how the unitarized description of pion nucleon scattering within Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory can be considerably improved, by a suitable reordering of the expansion over the nucleon mass. Within this framework, the $\Delta$ resonance and its associated pole can be recovered from the chiral parameters obtained from low-energy determinations. In addition, we can obtain a good description of the six $S$ and $P$ wave phase shifts in terms of chiral parameters with a natural size and compatible with the Resonance Saturation Hypothesis.
Thermal leptogenesis in extended supersymmetric seesaw model
2006
We consider an extended supersymmetric SO(10) seesaw model with only doublet Higgs scalars, in which neutrino masses are suppressed by the scale of D-parity violation. Leptogenesis can occur at the TeV scale through the decay of a singlet Sigma, thereby avoiding the gravitino crisis. Washout of the asymmetry can be effectively suppressed by the absence of direct couplings of Sigma to leptons.
Modelling jet quenching
2013
Abstract High P T measurements of hard hadrons or jets at RHIC and LHC appear contradictory and in some cases counterintuitive, but upon closer investigation they represent a coherent picture of jet-medium interaction physics which can be established with systematic comparisons of models against a large body of data. This picture is consistent with a perturbative QCD mechanism and does not require exotic assumptions. This overview outlines how several key measurements each partially constrain shower-medium interaction physics and how from the sum of those the outlines of the mechanism of jet quenching can be deduced. Most current jet results from LHC can be naturally understood in this pict…
