Scattering amplitudes and integral equations for the collision of two charged composite particles
1980
Transition operators for the collision of two clusters composed of an arbitrary number of charged and neutral particles are represented as a sum of pure Coulomb and Coulomb-modified short-range operators. Sandwiching this relation between the corresponding channel states, correct two-fragment scattering amplitudes are obtained by adapting the conventional two-body screening and renormalization procedure. Furthermore, integral equations are derived for off-shell extensions of the full screened amplitudes and of the unscreened Coulomb-modified short-range amplitudes. For three particles, the final results coincide with those derived previously in a different approach. The proposed theory is v…
Waiting time in quantum repeaters with probabilistic entanglement swapping
2019
The standard approach to realize a quantum repeater relies upon probabilistic but heralded entangled state manipulations and the storage of quantum states while waiting for successful events. In the literature on this class of repeaters, calculating repeater rates has typically depended on approximations assuming sufficiently small probabilities. Here we propose an exact and systematic approach including an algorithm based on Markov chain theory to compute the average waiting time (and hence the transmission rates) of quantum repeaters with arbitrary numbers of links. For up to four repeater segments, we explicitly give the exact rate formulae for arbitrary entanglement swapping probabiliti…
JIMWLK evolution of the odderon
2016
We study the effects of a parity-odd "odderon" correlation in JIMWLK renormalization group evolution at high energy. Firstly we show that in the eikonal picture where the scattering is described by Wilson lines, one obtains a strict mathematical upper limit for the magnitude of the odderon amplitude compared to the parity even pomeron one. This limit increases with N_c, approaching infinity in the infinite N_c limit. We use a systematic extension of the Gaussian approximation including both 2- and 3-point correlations which enables us to close the system of equations even at finite N_c. In the large-N_c limit we recover an evolution equation derived earlier. By solving this equation numeric…
Diagonalization of indefinite saddle point forms
2020
We obtain sufficient conditions that ensure block diagonalization (by a direct rotation) of sign-indefinite symmetric sesquilinear forms as well as the associated operators that are semi-bounded neither from below nor from above. In the semi-bounded case, we refine the obtained results and, as an example, revisit the block Stokes operator from fluid dynamics.
Potentials with SuppressedS-Wave Phase Shift at Low Energies
1972
These results are valid for arbitrary range and depths of the potentials here studied. In spite of the fact that for the general solution we have worked only with a particular radial dependence, for .which an explicit solution for the phase shifts can be written down, it seems plausible that the results have a more general validity. With this generalization in mind, we show that for general shapes of the radial dependence, the phase shifts in Born approximation present the momentum dependence described above. The origin of our results become transparent in this Born approximation treatment. We consider a velocity dependent potential of the form 1 )
Dispersion relation bounds forππscattering
2008
Axiomatic principles such as analyticity, unitarity, and crossing symmetry constrain the second derivative of the $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}$ scattering amplitudes in some channels to be positive in a region of the Mandelstam plane. Since this region lies in the domain of validity of chiral perturbation theory, we can use these positivity conditions to bound linear combinations of ${\overline{l}}_{1}$ and ${\overline{l}}_{2}$. We compare our predictions with those derived previously in the literature using similar methods. We compute the one-loop $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}$ scattering amplitude in the linear sigma model (LSM) using the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ scheme, a result…
xloops - Automated Feynman diagram calculation
1998
The program package xloops, a general, model independent tool for the calculation of high energy processes up to the two-loop level, is introduced. xloops calculates massive one- and two-loop Feynman diagrams in the standard model and related theories both analytically and numerically. A user-friendly Xwindows frontend is part of the package. xloops relies on the application of parallel space techniques. The treatment of tensor structure and the separation of divergences in analytic expressions is described in this scheme. All analytic calculations are performed with Maple. We describe the mathematical methods and computer algebra techniques xloops uses and give a brief introduction how to …
The “Maslov Anomaly” for the Harmonic Oscillator
2001
Specializing the discussion of the previous section to the harmonic oscillator we have for \(N = 1,\ \eta ^{a} = (p,x),\ a = 1,2,\ \eta ^{1} \equiv p,\ \eta ^{2} \equiv x\) $$\displaystyle{ H(p,x) = \frac{1} {2}\eta ^{a}\eta ^{a} = \frac{1} {2}{\bigl (p^{2} + x^{2}\bigr )}\;. }$$ (30.1) The only conserved quantity is J = H. In the action we need the combination $$\displaystyle{ \frac{1} {2}\eta ^{a}\omega _{ ab}\dot{\eta }^{b} -\mathcal{H}(\eta ) = \frac{1} {2}\eta ^{a}\left [\omega _{ ab} \frac{d} {dt} -{\bigl ( 1 + A(t)\bigr )}\mathrm{1l}_{ab}\right ]\eta ^{b} }$$ (30.2) and $$\displaystyle{ \tilde{M}_{\phantom{a}b}^{a} =\omega ^{ac}\partial _{ c}\partial _{b}(H + AJ\,) ={\bigl ( 1 + A(t)…
Berry Phase and Parametric Harmonic Oscillator
2001
Our concern in this section is once more with the time-dependent harmonic oscillator with Lagrangian $$\displaystyle{ L = \frac{1} {2}\dot{x}^{2} -\frac{1} {2}\omega ^{2}(t)x^{2}\;. }$$ To present a coherent picture of the whole problem, let us briefly review some of the results of Chap. 21. There we found the propagation function
Study of dynamics ofD0→K−e+νeandD0→π−e+νedecays
2015
In an analysis of a 2.92 fb(-1) data sample taken at 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we measure the absolute decay branching fractions B(D-0 -> K(-)e(+)nu(e)) = (3.505 +/- 0.014 +/- 0.033)% and B(D-0 -> pi(-)e(+)nu(e)) = (0.295 +/- 0.004 +/- 0.003)%. From a study of the differential decay rates we obtain the products of hadronic form factor and the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element f(+)(K)(0)vertical bar V-cs vertical bar = 0.7172 +/- 0.0025 +/- 0.0035 and f(+)(pi)(0)vertical bar V-cd vertical bar = 0.1435 +/- 0.0018 +/- 0.0009. Combining these products with the values of vertical bar V-cs(d)vertical bar from the SM constrain…
