The Standard Model
2002
Publisher Summary The weak interactions of the elementary particles are discovered in β-decay processes. They are described by an effective Lagrangian of current × current type in which the weak currents are coherent superpositions of charged vector and axial-vector currents, accounting for the violation of parity. The Fermi theory of the weak interactions can only be interpreted as an effective low-energy theory that cannot be extended to arbitrarily high energies. Applying this theory to the scattering process at high energies, the scattering amplitude rises indefinitely with the square of the energy. The structure of the electroweak system that has emerged from the requirement of asympto…
Pion Scattering and Pion Photoproduction on 3He
1992
Using realistic 3-body Faddeev wave functions π± scattering and π+ photoproduction on 3He have been calculated in a consistent model. We demonstrate that at T π ≤ 180MeV polarization observables in pion scattering contain very little information about nuclear structure and can be understood in terms of free πN amplitudes. At higher energies the sign-flip of the asymmetry A y offers a new possibility to study higher-order effects of pion nuclear interaction. In pion photoproduction we find that two-step processes such as 3 He(γ, π°)3 He(π°, π+)3 H give rise to unexpected large contributions to the differential crosssection as well as to γ-asymmetry and with this improved a long time discrepa…
Measurement of K-e3(0) form factors
2004
The semi-leptonic decay of the neutral K meson $K^{0}_{L} \to \pi^{\pm}e^{\mp}\nu (K_{e3})$, was used to study the strangeness-changing weak interaction of hadrons. A sample of 5.6 million reconstructed events recorded by the NA48 experiment was used to measure the Dalitz plot density. Admitting all possible Lorentz-covariant couplings, the form factors for vector $(f_{+}(q^{2}))$, scalar $(f_{S})$ and tensor $(f_{T})$ interactions were measured. The linear slope of the vector form factor $\lambda_{+} = 0.0284 \pm 0.0007 \pm 0.0013$ and values for the ratios $|f_{S}/f_{+}(0)|=0.015^{+0.007}_{-0.010} \pm 0.012$ and $|f_{T}/f_{+}(0)|=0.05^{+0.03}_{-0.04} \pm 0.03$ were obtained. The values fo…
Recent results in double beta decay
2015
Abstract Nuclear matrix elements for 0νββ, 0νhββ, and 2νββ decay in the microscopic interacting boson model (IBM-2) with isospin restoration are given for all nuclei of interest from 48Ca to 238U.
The Study Of The Nuclear Motion In D2+ Molecular Ion By Using The Harmonic Spectra
2007
In this paper we show how it is possible to investigate the nuclei dynamics of a D2+ molecular ion by using the high harmonic generation spectra emitted by the system when subjected to an intense laser field. In particular, the emitted spectra contains, in addition to the usual odd harmonic peaks, additional satellite peaks whose frequency spacing is equal to the vibrational frequency of the nuclei.
Reply to "Comment on 'Dispersion Interaction between Two Hydrogen Atoms in a Static Electric Field' "
2020
In their Comment on our Letter Dispersion Interaction between Two Hydrogen Atoms in a Static Electric Field, P. P. Abrantes et al. address one of the main points discussed in our Letter, that is, the possibility to manipulate interatomic interactions through an external static electric field. In our Letter, we have shown that the interaction between two ground-state atoms can be significantly modified, exploiting an external static electric field, and even turned from attractive to repulsive, depending on the strength of the external field and the geometrical configu- ration. In their Comment, Abrantes et al. point out that it is the electrostatic contribution between the electric dipoles i…
Electrons on a spherical surface: Physical properties and hollow spherical clusters
2012
We discuss the physical properties of a noninteracting electron gas constrained to a spherical surface. In particular we consider its chemical potentials, its ionization potential, and its electric static polarizability. All these properties are discussed analytically as functions of the number $N$ of electrons. The trends obtained with increasing $N$ are compared with those of the corresponding properties experimentally measured or theoretically evaluated for quasispherical hollow atomic and molecular clusters. Most of the properties investigated display similar trends, characterized by a prominence of shell effects. This leads to the definition of a scale-invariant distribution of magic n…
Magnetic excitations of the singlet ground state antiferromagnet CsFeBr3 in a magnetic field
1991
Abstract The magnetic excitations in the quasi-one-dimensional singlet ground state antiferromagnet CsFeBr3 have been studied by inelastic neutron scattering in the presence of an applied magnetic field, H‖c and H⊥c. With H‖c, the dispersion curves renormalise so that the exchange interaction has a decreasing influence with increasing field. H⊥c has little or no effect on the dispersion of the magnetic excitations.
A Coupled Solid-Fluid Method for Modeling Subduction
2007
International audience; We present a novel dynamic approach for solid/fluid coupling by joining two different numerical methods: Boundary Element Method (BEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM). FEM results describe the thermo-mechanical evolution of the solid while the fluid is solved with the BEM. The bidirectional feedback between the two domains evolves along a Lagrangian interface where the FEM domain is embedded inside the BEM domain. The feedback between the two codes is based on the calculation of a specific drag tensor for each boundary/finite element. The approach is presented here to solve the complex problem of the descent of a cold subducting oceanic plate into a hot fluid like ma…
Time-optimal control of the purification of a qubit in contact with a structured environment
2019
We investigate the time-optimal control of the purification of a qubit interacting with a structured environment, consisting of a strongly coupled two-level defect in interaction with a thermal bath. On the basis of a geometric analysis, we show for weak and strong interaction strengths that the optimal control strategy corresponds to a qubit in resonance with the reservoir mode. We investigate under which conditions qubit coherence and correlation between the qubit and the environment can speed up the control process.
