On the observability of parity and time reversal violating interactions by trapped ion spectroscopy
1982
The feasibility to measure neutral weak current interactions by spectroscopy on trapped ions is investigated. The sensitivity of the proposed experiment is compared to the sensitivity of similar experiments using atomic gases or beams. It is shown that there is no advantage as far as that part of the interaction is concerned which is a vector in the nucleon current and an axial vector in the electron current. This is mainly due to the relatively low ion density. The circular polarization however depending upon the nuclear spin orientation appears to be proportional to the coherence time, which is three orders of magnitude longer than in ordinary atomic beam resonance experiments. It is poin…
Elektronenpolarisation im Energiebereich unterhalb 50 eV durch Streuung an freien Hg-Atomen
1966
The angular dependence of spin polarizationP(Θ) of electrons elastically scattered by a beam of mercury atoms is measured in a double scattering experiment for electron energies of 45±1 eV; 23±1 eV; 7±1 eV; and 3,5±1 eV. Maximum degree of polarization obtained isP(100°)=0,39±0,07; electron energy 7±1 eV; electron current 10−12–10−11 A.
Normal and transverse single tau polarization at the Z-peak
1994
Abstract We study normal (to the collision plane) and transverse (within the collision plane) single-τ polarization in τ pairs produced in e + e − unpolarized collisions at the Z -resonance. The transverse polarization component is sensitive to the anomalous weak-magnetic moment, whereas the normal polarization component is sensitive to a CP-violating weak-electric dipole moment. We show how these components of the single τ polarization are accessible from the angular distribution of its decay products. We define a CP violating asymmetry of the τ decay products which, with 10 7 Z ′s produced, provides a sensitivity of 2.3 × 10 −18 e ·cm for the weak-electric dipole moment.
Polarization corrections to single-particle energies studied within the energy-density-functional and quasiparticle random-phase approximation approa…
2014
Background: Models based on using perturbative polarization corrections and mean-field blocking approximation give conflicting results for masses of odd nuclei. Purpose: We systematically investigate the polarization and mean-field models, implemented within self-consistent approaches that use identical interactions and model spaces, to find reasons for the conflicts between them. Methods: For density-dependent interactions and with pairing correlations included, we derive and study links between the mean-field and polarization results obtained for energies of odd nuclei. We also identify and discuss differences between the polarization-correction and full particle-vibration-coupling (PVC) …
Transient absorption of polarons in KNbO3
2002
Abstract Transient absorption spectra have been measured in a number of undoped KNbO 3 crystals following two kinds of electronic excitation: two-photon absorption of 200 fs laser pulses and 10 ns pulsed electron beam. A band peaking at 0.8 eV and broad, poorly resolved absorption in the range 1.3–3.3 eV were observed. Based on similarity to the 1 eV band in LiNbO 3 previously identified as the intrinsic electron polaron (electron self-localized on niobium in the regular lattice site), we suggest that the transient absorption band at 0.8 eV in KNbO 3 is also associated with the intrinsic electron polaron.
Evolution of polarization orientations in a flat universe with vector perturbations: CMB and quasistellar objects
2007
Various effects produced by vector perturbations (vortical peculiar velocity fields) of a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background are considered. In the presence of this type of perturbations, the polarization vector rotates. A formula giving the rotation angle is obtained and, then, it is used to prove that this angle depends on both the observation direction and the emission redshift. Hence, rotations are different for distinct quasars and also for the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation coming along different directions (from distinct points of the last scattering surface). As a result of these rotations, some correlations could appear in an initially random field of quasar po…
The selection and performance of diamond radiators used in coherent bremsstrahlung experiments
2005
The bremsstrahlung emitted as a result of scattering electrons in thin diamond crystals provides a useful source of high energy photons for use in photonuclear experiments, since the coherent bremsstrahlung produced is linearly polarized. Techniques for selecting the most favorable diamonds have been investigated. These are optical polaroid analysis, X-ray topography and rocking curve measurements. The diamonds are characterized with a view to determining their performance as radiators, and bremsstrahlung spectra from a diamond radiator used at the Mainz MAMI-B facility are presented. The changes caused by high energy electrons to the crystal properties of the diamond and to the resulting c…
An isomeric 19+ state of the $$\pi h_{{9 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {9 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}}^2 i_{1{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom…
1978
Usingα-particles of energies 35–51 MeV and in-beam conversion electron andγ-spectroscopy techniques, a 4.0±1.7 μs core-excited 19+ isomeric state in210At with ag-factor of 0.737±0.025 has been observed at an excitation energy of 4027.7 keV. The 19+ state is suggested to have the $$\pi h_{{9 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {9 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}}^2 i_{1{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} vg_{{9 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {9 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} (j^{ - 2} )_{0^ + }$$ configuration with maximum alignment of the angular momenta.

A theoretical approach to pionic atoms and the problem of anomalies
1993
Abstract We have constructed a theoretical optical potential for pionic atoms based on the first- and second-order terms of a many-body expansion on the number of ph excitations. The p-wave parts are very much influenced by the medium polarization. The quenching at large densities produced by this phenomenon, together with the one from the Lorentz-Lorenz effect, and modifications over standard potentials due to the isospin dependence, lead to a new potential which produces notoriously improved results in the problem of anomalies. A clearer definition of this problem is proposed as the inability of standard potentials to reproduce simultaneously the data for light and heavy nuclei. Finally a…
Sn108studied with intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation
2005
The unstable neutron-deficient Sn-108 isotope has been studied in inverse kinematics by intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation using the RISING/FRS experimental setup at GSI. This is the highest Z nucleus studied so far with this method. Its reduced transition probability B (E2;0(g.s.)(+)-> 2(1)(+)) has been measured for the first time. The extracted B(E2) value of 0.230(57)e(2) b(2) has been determined relative to the known value in the stable Sn-112 isotope. The result is discussed in the framework of recent large-scale shell model calculations performed with realistic effective interactions. The roles of particle-hole excitations of the Sn-100 core and of the Z=50 shell gap for the E2 po…
