Excitonic effects in two-LO-phonon resonant Raman scattering.

1993

Abstract The role of electron-hole correlation in resonant Raman scattering by two LO-phonons is analyzed. A theoretical model including excitons belonging to the discrete and continuous spectra as virtual intermediate states in the Raman process and valid for incident energies below and above the gap is developed. For the exciton-phonon coupling the Frohlich Hamiltonian is considered. The most important contribution to the Raman scattering efficiency corresponds to the continuous→discrete→discrete exciton transition, followed by the discrete→discrete→discrete and the continuous→continuous→discrete ones. The model is tested for GaP, where the scattering efficiency data are available around …

Isolated photon production in proton-nucleus collisions at forward rapidity

2018

We calculate isolated photon production at forward rapidities in proton-nucleus collisions in the Color Glass Condensate framework. Our calculation uses dipole cross sections solved from the running coupling Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with an initial condition fit to deep inelastic scattering data. For comparison, we also update the results for the nuclear modification factor for pion production in the same kinematics. We present predictions for future forward RHIC and LHC measurements at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV and $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=8$ TeV.

Search for WIMP Inelastic Scattering off Xenon Nuclei with XENON100

2017

We present the first constraints on the spin-dependent, inelastic scattering cross section of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) on nucleons from XENON100 data with an exposure of 7.64 ×103 kg .days . XENON100 is a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber with 62 kg of active mass, operated at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy and designed to search for nuclear recoils from WIMP-nucleus interactions. Here we explore inelastic scattering, where a transition to a low-lying excited nuclear state of Xe 129 is induced. The experimental signature is a nuclear recoil observed together with the prompt deexcitation photon. We see no evidence for such inelastic WIMP-Xe…

Measurement of the inclusive jet cross-section in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=2.76\ \mbox{TeV}$ and comparison to the inclusive jet cross-section at $…

2013

The inclusive jet cross-section has been measured in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=2.76 TeV in a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.20pb-1 collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2011. Jets are identified using the anti-kt algorithm with two radius parameters of 0.4 and 0.6. The inclusive jet double-differential cross-section is presented as a function of the jet transverse momentum pT and jet rapidity y, covering a range of 20 <= pT < 430 GeV and |y| < 4.4. The ratio of the cross-section to the inclusive jet cross-section measurement at sqrt(s)=7 TeV, published by the ATLAS Collaboration, is calculated as a function of both trans…

Studies of Inelastic Scattering of Fast Heavy Ions

2003

In the present experiment 250A MeV O-17 ions were melastically scattered front xenon and argon in the cluster-jet target of the CELSIUS storage ring. The magnetic lattice of the ring is such that the quadrant following the target can be used as a magnetic spectrometer with an acceptance cone of +/-0.6degrees, centred at 0degrees. A focal plane telescope, placed in the injection straight section. determined the excitation energy of the residual target nuclei. Data were taken for excitation energies between 15 and 35 MeV. The neutron decay was studied by the EDEN detector array positioned around the target, covering an angular range of 7-110degrees. In order to investigate a previously observ…

Inelastic scattering and interactions of three-wave parametric solitons.

2006

We study the interactions of velocity-locked three-wave parametric solitons in a medium with quadratic nonlinearity and dispersion. We reveal that the inelastic scattering between three-wave solitons and linear waves may be described in terms of analytical solutions with dynamically varying group velocity, or boomerons. Moreover, we demonstrate the elastic nature of three-wave soliton-soliton collisions and interactions.

Longitudinal versus transverse spheroidal vibrational modes of an elastic sphere

2005

Analysis of the spheroidal modes of vibration of a free elastic sphere show that they can be qualitatively grouped into two categories: primarily longitudinal and primarily transverse. This is not a sharp distinction. However, there is a relatively stark contrast between the two kinds of modes. Primarily transverse modes have a small divergence and have frequencies that are almost functionally independent of the longitudinal speed of sound. Analysis of inelastic light scattering intensity from confined acoustic phonons in nanoparticles requires an understanding of this qualitative distinction between different spheroidal modes. In addition, some common misconceptions about spheroidal modes …

Visibility of Young's interference fringes: Scattered light from small ion crystals

2015

We observe interference in the light scattered from trapped $^{40}$Ca$^+$ ion crystals. By varying the intensity of the excitation laser, we study the influence of elastic and inelastic scattering on the visibility of the fringe pattern and discriminate its effect from that of the ion temperature and wave-packet localization. In this way we determine the complex degree of coherence and the mutual coherence of light fields produced by individual atoms. We obtain interference fringes from crystals consisting of two, three and four ions in a harmonic trap. Control of the trapping potential allows for the adjustment of the interatomic distances and thus the formation of linear arrays of atoms s…
