The Three-Body Problem

1972

The quantum mechanical three-body problem has been studied with increasing interest in the last decade. The main progress was achieved by deriving integral equations which are not only theoretically correct, but also practically applicable. Such equations allow us in particular to investigate, besides three-body bound states, the scattering of an elementary particle from a bound two-particle system.

A dynamical systems study of the inhomogeneous Lambda-CDM model

2010

We consider spherically symmetric inhomogeneous dust models with a positive cosmological constant, $\Lambda$, given by the Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi metric. These configurations provide a simple but useful generalization of the Lambda-CDM model describing cold dark matter (CDM) and a Lambda term, which seems to fit current cosmological observations. The dynamics of these models can be fully described by scalar evolution equations that can be given in the form of a proper dynamical system associated with a 4-dimensional phase space whose critical points and invariant subspaces are examined and classified. The phase space evolution of various configurations is studied in detail by means of two 2-…

A practicableγ 5-scheme in dimensional regularization

1992

We present a new simpleγ5 regularization scheme. We discuss its use in the standard radiative correction calculations including the anomaly contributions. The new scheme features an anticommutingγ5 which leads to great simplifications in practical calculations. We carefully discuss the underlying mathematics of ourγ5-scheme which is formulated in terms of simple projection operations.

Sum Frequency Generation Spectra from Velocity-Velocity Correlation Functions: New Developments and Applications

2018

At the interface, the properties of water can be rather different from those observed in the bulk. In this chapter we present an overview of our computational approach to understand water structure and dynamics at the interface including atomistic and electronic structure details. In particular we show how Density Functional Theory-based molecular dynamics simulations (DFT-MD) of water interfaces can provide a microscopic interpretation of recent experimental results from surface sensitive vibrational Sum Frequency Generation spectroscopy (SFG). In our recent work we developed an expression for the calculation of the SFG spectra of water interfaces which is based on the projection of the at…

Atoms and molecules in cavities: A method for study of spatial confinement effects

1995

A general method for solving the problems of spatially confined quantum mechanical systems is proposed. The method works within the framework of the model space approximation. In the case of atoms and molecules trapped into any-shape microscopic cavity (like molecular sieves or fullerenes), the method reduces to a simple modification of the commonly used basis-set quantum chemical calculations. The modification consists of a particular rotation and projection in the model space, leading to solutions better adapted to the boundary conditions of the spatial confinement than the functions that describe the free systems. To illustrate how this method works, it has been applied to the hydrogen a…

The NEXT double beta decay experiment

2016

NEXT (Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC) is a neutrinoless double-beta (ββ0v) decay experiment at Laboratorio Subterraneo de Canfranc (LSC). It is an electroluminescent Time Projection Chamber filled with high pressure 136Xe gas with separated function capabilities for calorimetry and tracking. Energy resolution and background suppression are the two key features of any neutrinoless double beta decay experiment. NEXT has both good energy resolution (< 1% FWHM) and an extra handle for background identification provided by track reconstruction. We expect a background rate of 4 × 10-4 counts keV-1 kg-1 yr-1, and a sensitivity to the Majorana neutrino mass of between 80-160 meV (depending on…

Construction of the ground state in nonrelativistic QED by continuous flows

2006

AbstractFor a nonrelativistic hydrogen atom minimally coupled to the quantized radiation field we construct the ground state projection Pgs by a continuous approximation scheme as an alternative to the iteration scheme recently used by Fröhlich, Pizzo, and the first author [V. Bach, J. Fröhlich, A. Pizzo, Infrared-finite algorithms in QED: The groundstate of an atom interacting with the quantized radiation field, Comm. Math. Phys. (2006), doi: 10.1007/s00220-005-1478-3]. That is, we construct Pgs=limt→∞Pt as the limit of a continuously differentiable family (Pt)t⩾0 of ground state projections of infrared regularized Hamiltonians Ht. Using the ODE solved by this family of projections, we sho…

Projection-invariant pattern recognition with a phase-only logarithmic-harmonic-derived filter.

2010

A phase-only filter based on logarithmic harmonics for projection-invariant pattern recognition is presented. This logarithmic-harmonic-derived filter is directly calculated in the Fourier plane. With respect to normal logarithmic-harmonic filters it provides a smaller variation of the correlation intensity with the projection factor of the target. Computer and optical experiments are presented.

Physical interpretation of laser phase dynamics

1990

The basic features characterizing the dynamical evolution of the phase of a detuned-laser field under an unstable regime are physically interpreted in terms of dispersive and dynamical effects. A general method for obtaining any attractor projection containing the phase information is established, which provides evidence for the heteroclinic character of the attractor in the presence of cavity detuning for any emission regime.

Pattern projection for subpixel resolved imaging in microscopy.

2006

In this paper, we present a new approach providing super resolved images exceeding the geometrical limitation given by the detector pixel size of the imaging camera. The concept involves the projection of periodic patterns on top of the sample, which are then investigated under a microscope. Combining spatial scanning together with proper digital post-processing algorithm yields the improved geometrical resolution enhancement. This new method is especially interesting for microscopic imaging when the resolution of the detector is lower than the resolution due to diffraction.
