Efficient on-axis SLM engineering of optical vector modes
2020
Abstract This work presents a method for the efficient experimental generation of arbitrary polarized vector beam modes. The optical system employs two liquid-crystal on silicon (LCOS) spatial light modulators (SLM) in a common path architecture, avoiding the use of beam-splitters. Each SLM displays a different phase-only mask, each one encoding a different pattern onto two orthogonal linear polarization components of the input beam. These phase-only masks are designed using a recently proposed random technique to encode complex amplitude values. This encoding technique reconstructs the complex function on-axis, thus avoiding incorporating carrier phases. By addressing such properly designe…
Effects of damage on the response of Euler-Bernoulli beams traversed by a moving mass
2003
The perturbation induced by damage in the dynamic response of Euler-Bernoulli beams traversed by a moving mass is investigated. The structure is discretized into segments of constant bending stiffness, connected together by elastic hinges representing damaged sections. The beam-moving mass interaction force is modelled in the most accurate way by taking into account the effective structural mass distribution and the convective acceleration terms, often omitted in similar studies. The analytical response is obtained through a series expansion of the unknown deflection in a basis of the beam eigenfunctions. The results of experimental tests, performed on a small-scale model of a prototype bri…
Maximum Principle and Application to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Magnetic Resonance Imaging
2018
In this section we state the Pontryagin maximum principle and we outline the proof. We adopt the presentation from Lee and Markus [64] where the result is presented into two theorems.
Variational principles for the calculation of the response function
1983
Several variational principles for inclusive processes are presented and illustrated by simple examples. By choosing appropriate trial functions, the doorway-state, moment- and cumulant-expansion of the response functions are derived from them.
Bound states of $��^+$ in nuclei
2005
We study the binding energy and the width of the $��^+$ in nuclei, associated to the $K N$ and $ K ��N$ components. The first one leads to negligible contributions while the second one leads to a sizeable attraction, enough to bind the $��^+$ in nuclei. Pauli blocking and binding effects on the $K N$ decay reduce considerably the $��^+$ decay width in nuclei and medium effects associated to the $ K ��N$ component also lead to a very small width, as a consequence of which one finds separation between the bound levels considerably larger than the width of the states.
Clusterization in the shape isomers of the 56Ni nucleus
2011
The interrelation of the quadrupole deformation and clusterization is investigated in the example of the ${}^{56}$Ni nucleus. The shape isomers, including superdeformed and hyperdeformed states, are obtained as stability regions of the quasidynamical U(3) symmetry based on a Nilsson calculation. Their possible binary clusterizations are investigated by considering both the consequences of the Pauli exclusion principle and the energetic preference.
Microscopic description of low-lying two-phonon states: Electromagnetic transitions
2003
Microscopic description of low-lying two-phonon states in even-even nuclei is introduced. The main building blocks are the quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) phonons. A realistic microscopic nuclear Hamiltonian, based on the Bonn one-boson-exchange potential, is diagonalized in a basis containing one-phonon and two-phonon components, coupled to a given angular momentum and parity. The QRPA equations are directly used in deriving the equations of motion for the two-phonon states. The Pauli principle is taken into account by diagonalizing the metric matrix and discarding the zero-norm states. The electromagnetic transition matrix elements are derived in terms of the metric matrix…
Implications of nonsymmetric metric theories for particle physics. New interpretation of the Pauli coupling
2014
In this work, we provide a possible geometrical interpretation of the spin of elementary particles. In particular, it is investigated how the wave equations of matter are altered by the addition of an antisymmetric contribution to the metric tensor. In this scenario, the explicit form of the matter wave equations is investigated in a general curved spacetime, and then the equations are particularized to the flat case. Unlike traditional approaches of Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theories (NGT), in which the gravitational field is responsible for breaking the symmetry of the flat Minkowski metric, we find more natural to consider that, in general, the metric of the spacetime could be nonsymme…
A comment on time-dependent variational-principles
1977
Two time-dependent variational principles are compared; the one varies the action integral, the other minimises the deviation from the Schrodinger-equation. They are shown to be equivalent for a variation with complex parameters, but different for a restricted variation.
Fluctuating parts of nuclear ground state correlation energies
2013
Background: Heavy atomic nuclei are often described using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) method. In principle, this approach takes into account Pauli effects and pairing correlations while other correlation effects are mimicked through the use of effective density-dependent interactions. Purpose: Investigate the influence of higher order correlation effects on nuclear binding energies using Skyrme's effective interaction. Methods: A cut-off in relative momenta is introduced in order to remove ultraviolet divergences caused by the zero-range character of the interaction. Corrections to binding energies are then calculated using the quasiparticle-random-phase approximation (QRPA) and secon…
