Interplay of quasiparticle and phonon excitations in 181Hf observed through (n,γ) and reactions
2002
Abstract Nuclear levels of 181 Hf were investigated in the range up to 3 MeV excitation energy by (n, γ ) and (d,p) reactions. Over 170 levels and about 390 γ -transitions were established most of them for the first time. 25 rotational bands were identified. Comparison of the results of the two reactions yields information on the fine structure in the fragmentation of Nilsson strength. The states below 2 MeV with the most complete spectroscopic information were interpreted in terms of the Quasiparticle Phonon Model (QPM). Excitation energies, electromagnetic transition rates, γ -branchings and spectroscopic factors are discussed in connection with their possible structure.
Low-spin mixed particle–hole structures in 185W
2005
Abstract The level structure of 185W has been studied using the prompt and delayed gamma–gamma coincidences from thermal neutron capture in 184W accompanied with the one-nucleon transfer reactions ( d , p ) and ( d , t ) with polarized beams. From these data and those of previous studies a total of 183 levels has been established for energies below 3 MeV. Many of these states have been grouped into rotational bands built on 28 intrinsic states of quasiparticle and quasiparticle-plus-phonon character. Although the DWBA analysis permitted definite spin–parity assignments for most of states a large number of particle transitions have ‘anomalous’ angular and asymmetry shapes with respect to the…
Search for a 2-quasiparticle high-Kisomer inRf256
2011
The energies of 2-quasiparticle (2-qp) states in heavy shell-stabilized nuclei provide information on the single-particle states that are responsible for the stability of superheavy nuclei. We have calculated the energies of 2-qp states in {sup 256}Rf, which suggest that a long-lived, low-energy 8{sup -} isomer should exist. A search was conducted for this isomer through a calorimetric conversion electron signal, sandwiched in time between implantation of a {sup 256}Rf nucleus and its fission decay, all within the same pixel of a double-sided Si strip detector. A 17(5)-{mu}s isomer was identified. However, its low population, {approx}5(2)% that of the ground state instead of the expected {a…

Quantum Solitons on Quantum Chaos: Coherent Structures, Anyons, and Statistical Mechanics
1991
This paper is concerned with the exact evaluation of functional integrals for the partition function Z (free energy F = -β -1 ln Z, β -1 = temperature) for integrable models like the quantum and classical sine-Gordon (s-G) models in 1+1 dimensions.1–12 These models have wide applications in physics and are generic (and important) in that sense. The classical s-G model in 1+1 dimensions $${\phi _{xx}} - {\phi _{tt}} = {m^2}\sin \phi$$ (1) (m > 0 is a “mass”) has soliton (kink, anti-kink and breather) solutions. In Refs 1–12 we have reported a general theory of ‘soliton statistical mechanics’ (soliton SM) in which the particle description can be seen in terms of ‘solitons’ and ‘phonons’. The …
Dissipative Polarization Domain Walls in a Passive Coherently Driven Kerr Resonator.
2021
Using a passive, coherently driven nonlinear optical fiber ring resonator, we report the experimental realization of dissipative polarization domain walls. The domain walls arise through a symmetry breaking bifurcation and consist of temporally localized structures where the amplitudes of the two polarization modes of the resonator interchange, segregating domains of orthogonal polarization states. We show that dissipative polarization domain walls can persist in the resonator without changing shape. We also demonstrate on-demand excitation, as well as pinning of domain walls at specific positions for arbitrary long times. Our results could prove useful for the analog simulation of ubiquito…
Collective variable theory for optical solitons in fibers
2000
We present a projection-operator method to express the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation for pulse propagation in optical fibers, in terms of the pulse parameters, called collective variables, such as the pulse width, amplitude, chirp, and frequency. The collective variable (CV) equations of motion are derived by imposing a set of constraints on the CVs to minimize the soliton dressing during its propagation. The lowest-order approximation of this CV approach is shown to be equivalent to the variational Lagrangian method. Finally, we demonstrate the application of this CV theory for pulse propagation in dispersion-managed optical fiber links.
Nonlinear dynamics induced by optical shocks formation
2006
This paper reports on recent studies suggesting that optical shocks can rule the dynamics of cw (or quasi-cw) optical field propagating in glass when common phenomena such as four-wave mixing in fibers or catastrophic self-focusing in bulk are considered. The post-shock oscillations evolve into colliding dark solitons that determine the output pattern in a non-recurrent fashion. This scenario based on the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation and its reduction to a hydrodynamical model is substantially confirmed by our experimental data consisting of recorded output spectra and temporal patterns retrieved from SHG-FROG traces. Numerical results also indicate that, during self-focusing, …
Dissipative rogue waves out of fiber lasers
2012
We study rogue waves in dissipative systems such as unidirectional fiber laser. We have found that the probability of producing extreme pulses in this setup is higher than in any other system considered so far.
Exact dark soliton solutions for a family ofNcoupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations in optical fiber media
2001
We consider a family of N coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations which govern the simultaneous propagation of N fields in the normal dispersion regime of an optical fiber with various important physical effects. The linear eigenvalue problem associated with the integrable form of all the equations is constructed with the help of the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur method. Using the Hirota bilinear method, exact dark soliton solutions are explicitly derived.
