Study of Even Gd Nuclei by Decay of Oriented Tb, With Analysis by Simple Boson Models
1983
We have studied low-spin states of 150,152,154,156Gd by nuclear orientation of β-decaying Tb in a Gd host. Especially by means of multipole mixing ratios, including E0/E2, we have checked and revised spin-parities and assignments to (quasi) rotational ground, β and γ bands. For 150Gd we propose the new interpretation 1207.2 keV (0β+), 1518.5 keV (2β+), 1700.1 keV (4β+), 1430.5 keV (2γ+), 1988.0 keV (3γ+), 2080.0 keV (4γ+). For 152,154,156Gd we find agreement with recent literature. Our comparison with theory includes available data on 158,160Gd and on states up to 10g+, 10β+, 7γ+. We review our previously proposed "projection model", which is basically of the Bohr-Mottelson geometrical type…
Measurement of higher-order multipole amplitudes in ψ(3686)→γχc1,2 with χc1,2→γJ/ψ and search for the transition ηc(2S)→γJ/ψ
2017
Using 106 x 10(6) psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, we measure multipole amplitudes for the decay psi(3686) ->; gamma chi(c1,2) -> gamma gamma J/psi beyond the dominant electric-dipole amplitudes. The normalized magnetic-quadrupole (M2) amplitude for psi(3686) -> gamma chi(c1,2) -> gamma gamma J/psi and the normalized electric-dipole amplitudes for psi(3686) -> gamma chi(c2) -> gamma J/psi and determined. The M2 amplitudes for psi(3686) -> gamma chi(c1) and ; chi(c1,2) -> gamma J/psi are found to differ significantly from zero and are consistent with theoretical predictions. We also obtain the ratios of M2 contributions of psi(3686) and J/psi decays to;2,chi(c1,2,) b(2)(1…
Model Dependence of Nucleon Resonance Parameters
2004
Nucleon resonance parameters as mass, width, branching ratios and electromagnetic helicity amplitudes cannot be determined in a model independent way. The best way to obtain such elementary quantities is in terms of a partial wave analysis and a separation of resonance and background. In this work we have concentrated on the extraction of the e.m. helicity amplitudes A l p and A312 from electric and magnetic multipole analyses that were obtained from different groups with different techniques. We make a comparison of our results for the resonances P11(1440), 013(1520) and s11(1535). The variation that we find can be considered as a measure of the model uncertainty in these quantities.
Formal theory for two-particle channels
1991
The general formalism has been developed over many years by various authors. One starting point is the work of de Swart (DSw 59) who has considered electric multipoles in the long-wave-length limit using the Siegert theorem and as magnetic contribution only the dipole spin-flip transition. The T-matrix is then expanded in terms of reduced multipole amplitudes. This approach has been generalized by Donnachie (Don 62a) and Partovi (Par 64) by including higher electric and magnetic multipoles. Furthermore, the electric multipoles are not restricted to the long-wave-length limit and the additional terms besides the Siegert operators (see section 4.1) are included. Using techniques from angular …
Solution of the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock–Bogolyubov equations in the Cartesian deformed harmonic-oscillator basis.
2012
We describe the new version (v2.38j) of the code hfodd which solves the nuclear SkyrmeHartree-Fock or Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov problem by using the Cartesian deformed harmonic-oscillator basis. In the new version, we have implemented: (i) projection on good angular momentum (for the Hartree-Fock states), (ii) calculation of the GCM kernels, (iii) calculation of matrix elements of the Yukawa interaction, (iv) the BCS solutions for statedependent pairing gaps, (v) the HFB solutions for broken simplex symmetry, (vi) calculation of Bohr deformation parameters, (vii) constraints on the Schiff moments and scalar multipole moments, (viii) the D T transformations and rotations of wave functio…
The distribution of galaxies gravitational field stemming from their tidal interaction
2015
We calculate the distribution function of astronomical objects (like galaxies and/or smooth halos of different kinds) gravitational fields due to their tidal in- teraction. For that we apply the statistical method of Chandrasekhar (1943), used there to calculate famous Holtzmark distribution. We show that in our approach the distribution function is never Gaussian, its form being dictated by the potential of interaction between objects. This calculation permits us to perform a theoretical analysis of the relation between angular momentum and mass (richness) of the galaxy clusters. To do so, we follow the idea of Catelan & Theuns (1996) and Heavens & Peacock (1988). The main differen…
Spin-multipole nuclear matrix elements in thepnquasiparticle random-phase approximation: Implications forβandββhalf-lives
2017
Half-lives for 148 potentially measurable 2nd-, 3rd-, 4th-, 5th-, 6th-, and 7th-forbidden unique beta transitions are predicted. To achieve this, the ratio of the nuclear matrix elements (NMEs), calculated by the proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pnQRPA), ${M}_{\mathrm{pnQRPA}}$, and a two-quasiparticle (two-qp) model, ${M}_{\mathrm{qp}}$, is studied and compared with earlier calculations for the allowed Gamow-Teller (GT) ${1}^{+}$ and first-forbidden spin-dipole (SD) ${2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ transitions. The present calculations are done using realistic single-particle model spaces and $G$-matrix based microscopic two-body interactions. In terms of the ratio $k={M}_{\m…
Anisotropies in thermal Casimir interactions: Ellipsoidal colloids trapped at a fluid interface
2009
We study the effective interaction between two ellipsoidal particles at the interface of two fluid phases which are mediated by thermal fluctuations of the interface. In this system the restriction of the long--ranged interface fluctuations by particles gives rise to fluctuation--induced forces which are equivalent to interactions of Casimir type and which are anisotropic in the interface plane. Since the position and the orientation of the colloids with respect to the interface normal may also fluctuate, this system is an example for the Casimir effect with fluctuating boundary conditions. In the approach taken here, the Casimir interaction is rewritten as the interaction between fluctuati…
Coupled plasmonic graphene wires: theoretical study including complex frequencies and field distributions of bright and dark surface plasmons
2020
Theoretical research on localized surface plasmons (LSPs) supported by a structure formed by two parallel dielectric wires with a circular cross section wrapped with a graphene sheet has an impact in the practical realm. Here, LSPs are represented in the form of an infinite series of cylindrical multipole partial waves linked to each of the graphene wires. To obtain the kinematics (complex eigenfrequencies) and dynamic characteristics (field distributions) of the LSPs, we consider the analytic extension to the complex plane of the solution to the boundary value problem. The lower frequency LSP group is formed by four branches, two of them corresponding to bright modes and the others to dark…
