Bulk-plasmon dispersion relations in metals
1991
En utilisant une technique de la regle de somme dans l'approximation de la phase aleatoire etendue, on examine la relation de dispersion des plasmons en volume, en introduisant les effets de la correlation et de l'echange dans le modele du jellium. Les resultats obtenus sont compares aux resultats experimentaux. On souligne le role cle que jouent les effets de la correlation et de l'echange dans l'amelioration de l'accord entre la theorie et l'experience. On calcule egalement la polarisabilite statique en fonction de 9. Les formules peuvent etre facilement modifiees pour incorporer les effets de la structure de bandes (a travers une masse effective electronique intrabande) et les effets de …
Comments on the dispersion relation method to vector–vector interaction
2019
We study in detail the method proposed recently to study the vector-vector interaction using the $N/D$ method and dispersion relations, which concludes that, while for $J=0$, one finds bound states, in the case of $J=2$, where the interaction is also attractive and much stronger, no bound state is found. In that work, approximations are done for $N$ and $D$ and a subtracted dispersion relation for $D$ is used, with subtractions made up to a polynomial of second degree in $s-s_\mathrm{th}$, matching the expression to $1-VG$ at threshold. We study this in detail for the $\rho - \rho$ interaction and to see the convergence of the method we make an extra subtraction matching $1-VG$ at threshold…
Integrated photoabsorption strength and sum rules for a bound Dirac particle
1985
Relativistic effects in the integrated total photoabsorption cross section are discussed using a simple model of a Dirac particle bound in a central potential of scalar or vector type. The integrated strength is calculated explicitly and compared to a new relativistic extension of the TRK-sum rule using positive energy projection and to predictions from dispersion relations. M1 and E2 sum rules are also considered. In all cases the integrated strength exceeds the classical sum rule up to a few percent. The dispersion sum rule cannot be compared directly to the integrated strength since it contains a negative contribution from pair production in the potential field which is of the order of a…
Muonic-hydrogen Lamb shift: Dispersing the nucleon-excitation uncertainty with a finite-energy sum rule
2013
We assess the two-photon exchange contribution to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen with forward dispersion relations. The subtraction constant (T) over bar (0, Q(2)) that is necessary for a dispersive evaluation of the forward doubly virtual Compton amplitude, through a finite energy sum rule, is related to the fixed J = 0 pole generalized to the case of virtual photons. We evaluated this sum rule using excellent virtual photoabsorption data that are available. We find that the "proton polarizability correction" to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen is -(40 +/- 5) mu eV. We conclude that nucleon structure-dependent uncertainty by itself is unlikely to resolve the large (300 mu eV) discrepan…
A microscopic approach to Casimir and Casimir-Polder forces between metallic bodies
2014
We consider the Casimir-Polder interaction energy between a metallic nanoparticle and a metallic plate, as well as the Casimir interaction energy between two macroscopic metal plates, in terms of the many-body dispersion interactions between their constituents. Expressions for two- and three-body dispersion interactions between the microscopic parts of a real metal are first obtained, both in the retarded and non-retarded limits. These expressions are then used to evaluate, a compare each other, the overall two- and three-body contributions to the macroscopic Casimir-Polder and Casimir force, by summing up the contributions from the microscopic constituents of the bodies (metal nanoparticle…
Electric quantum walks in two dimensions
2015
We study electric quantum walks in two dimensions considering Grover, Alternate, Hadamard, and DFT quantum walks. In the Grover walk the behaviour under an electric field is easy to summarize: when the field direction coincides with the x or y axes, it produces a transient trapping of the probability distribution along the direction of the field, while when it is directed along the diagonals, a perfect 2D trapping is frustrated. The analysis of the alternate walk helps to understand the behaviour of the Grover walk as both walks are partially equivalent; in particular, it helps to understand the role played by the existence of conical intersections in the dispersion relations, as we show th…
N-dimensional alternate coined quantum walks from a dispersion-relation perspective
2013
We propose an alternative definition of an N-dimensional coined quantum walk by generalizing a recent proposal [Di Franco et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 080502 (2011)]. This N-dimensional alternate quantum walk, AQW_N, in contrast with the standard definition of the N-dimensional quantum walk, QW_N, requires only a coin-qubit. We discuss the quantum diffusion properties of AQW_2 and AQW_3 by analyzing their dispersion relations that reveal, in particular, the existence of diabolical points. This allows us to highlight interesting similarities with other well known physical phenomena. We also demonstrate that AQW_3 generates genuine multipartite entanglement. Finally we discuss the implementa…
Casimir-Polder interatomic potential between two atoms at finite temperature and in the presence of boundary conditions
2007
We evaluate the Casimir-Polder potential between two atoms in the presence of an infinite perfectly conducting plate and at nonzero temperature. In order to calculate the potential, we use a method based on equal-time spatial correlations of the electric field, already used to evaluate the effect of boundary conditions on interatomic potentials. This method gives also a transparent physical picture of the role of a finite temperature and boundary conditions on the Casimir-Polder potential. We obtain an analytical expression of the potential both in the near and far zones, and consider several limiting cases of interest, according to the values of the parameters involved, such as atom-atom d…
The pion quasiparticle in the low-temperature phase of QCD
2017
We extend our previous studies [PhysRevD.90.054509, PhysRevD.92.094510] of the pion quasiparticle in the low-temperature phase of two-flavor QCD with support from chiral effective theory. This includes the analysis performed on a finite temperature ensemble of size $20\times 64^3$ at $T\approx 151$MeV and a lighter zero-temperature pion mass $m_{\pi} \approx 185$ MeV. Furthermore, we investigate the Gell-Mann--Oakes-Renner relation at finite temperature and the Dey-Eletsky-Ioffe mixing theorem at finite quark mass.
What can be learned from the Belle spectrum for the decay τ−→ντKSπ−
2008
Abstract A theoretical description of the differential decay spectrum for the decay τ − → ν τ K S π − , which is based on the contributing Kπ vector and scalar form factors F + K π ( s ) and F 0 K π ( s ) being calculated in the framework of resonance chiral theory (R χ T), additionally imposing constraints from dispersion relations as well as short distance QCD, provides a good representation of a recent measurement of the spectrum by the Belle Collaboration. Our fit allows to deduce the total branching fraction B [ τ − → ν τ K S π − ] = 0.427 ± 0.024 % by integrating the spectrum, as well as the K ∗ resonance parameters M K ∗ = 895.3 ± 0.2 MeV and Γ K ∗ = 47.5 ± 0.4 MeV , where the last t…
