Two-photon exchange correction to2S−2Psplitting in muonicHe3ions

2017

We calculate the two-photon exchange correction to the Lamb shift in muonic $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ ions within the dispersion relations framework. Part of the effort entailed making analytic fits to the electron-$^{3}\mathrm{He}$ quasielastic scattering data set, for purposes of doing the dispersion integrals. Our result is that the energy of the $2S$ state is shifted downwards by two-photon exchange effects by 15.14(49) meV, in good accord with the result obtained from a potential model and effective field theory calculation.

Quantum Coherence Effects in One-Dimensional Chains with Inelastic Scattering

1991

To describe the ballistic transport in a 1 D chain Landauer [1] has calculated the resistance R of a series of elastic scatterers from their transmission coefficient T $$R = \frac{h}{{{e^2}}}\frac{{1 - T}}{T}$$ (1) This relation implies complete quantum coherence between incident and all backscattered waves. Dephasing due to irreversible processes has been introduced into this model by Buttiker [2] who added inelastic scatterers coupled to an external heat bath to the chain. In this way it is possible to describe also certain dissipative aspects of electron transport. However, his approach does not allow to study the gradual transition from coherent to incoherent transport with increasing s…

Inelastic neutron scattering by coupled rotational and translational modes in KCN

1980

The TA [100] phonon branch of the molecular crystal KCN was studied by inelastic neutron scattering in the cubic phase. In addition the distribution of the quasielastic scattered neutrons was investigated. The results are analysed by assuming a coupling of the phonon modes to the rotational degrees of freedom of the CN-dumb-bells which are regarded as a system of interacting quadrupoles. A good description of the present results and also of the existing ultrasonic and Brillouin data is achieved by a simple model which uses a single collective rotational mode of finite excitation energy and line width.

Two-photon exchange correction in elastic unpolarized electron-proton scattering at small momentum transfer

2015

We evaluate the two-photon exchange (TPE) correction to the unpolarized elastic electron-proton scattering at small momentum transfer $ Q^2 $. We account for the inelastic intermediate states approximating the double virtual Compton scattering by the unpolarized forward virtual Compton scattering. The unpolarized proton structure functions are used as input for the numerical evaluation of the inelastic contribution. Our calculation reproduces the leading terms in the $ Q^2 $ expansion of the TPE correction and goes beyond this approximation by keeping the full $ Q^2 $ dependence of the proton structure functions. In the range of small momentum transfer, our result is in good agreement with …

Measurements of Absolute Cross Sections for (e,H2) Collision Processes. Formation and Decay ofH2−Resonances

1970

Energy and angular dependences of the elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons from ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ have been measured in the energy range 10 to 16 eV and for scattering angles ranging from 10\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} to 120\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. Three resonance series have been investigated starting at 11.30, 11.50, and 13.63 eV, respectively. The last two series decay preferentially into one single electronic channel, while the first resonance (resonance I) decays into all energetically possible exit channels, i.e., $X^{1}\ensuremath{\Sigma}_{g}^{+}$, $b^{3}\ensuremath{\Sigma}_{u}^{+}$, $B^{1}\ensuremath{\Sigma}_{u}^{+}$. Throughout, stress is laid on the i…

Study of the γ decay of high-lying states in 208Pb via inelastic scattering of 17O ions

2014

A measurement of the high-lying states in 208Pb has been made using 17O beams at 20 MeV/u. The gamma decay following inelastic excitation was measured with the detector system AGATA Demonstrator based on segmented HPGe detectors, coupled to an array of large volume LaBr3:Ce scintillators and to an array of Si detectors. Preliminary results in comparison with (γ,γ’) data, for states in the 5-8 MeV energy interval, are presented.

Singlet ground state magnetism: III. magnetic excitons in antiferromagnetic TbP

1981

The dispersion of the lowest magnetic excitations of the singlet ground state system TbP has been studied in the antiferromagnetic phase by inelastic neutron scattering. The magnetic exchange interaction and the magnetic and the rhombohedral molecular fields have been determined.

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.
