Riccati-Padé quantization and oscillatorsV(r)=grα

1993

We develop an alternative construction of bound states based on matching the Riccati threshold and asymptotic expansions via their two-point Pad\'e interpolation. As a form of quantization it gives highly accurate eigenvalues and eigenfunctions.

Dynamic Analysis for Axially Moving Viscoelastic Poynting–Thomson Beams

2015

This paper is concerned with dynamic characteristics of axially moving beams with the standard linear solid type material viscoelasticity. We consider the Poynting–Thomson version of the standard linear solid model and present the dynamic equations for the axially moving viscoelastic beam assuming that out-of-plane displacements are small. Characteristic behaviour of the beam is investigated by a classical dynamic analysis, i.e., we find the eigenvalues with respect to the beam velocity. With the help of this analysis, we determine the type of instability and detect how the behaviour of the beam changes from stable to unstable.

Two-Proton Radioactivity ofKr67

2016

In an experiment with the BigRIPS separator at the RIKEN Nishina Center, we observed two-proton (2p) emission from 67Kr. At the same time, no evidence for 2p emission of 59Ge and 63Se, two other potential candidates for this exotic radioactivity, could be observed. This observation is in line with Q value predictions which pointed to 67Kr as being the best new candidate among the three for two-proton radioactivity. 67Kr is only the fourth 2p ground-state emitter to be observed with a half-life of the order of a few milliseconds. The decay energy was determined to be 1690(17) keV, the 2p emission branching ratio is 37(14)%, and the half-life of 67Kr is 7.4(30) ms.

Oscillatory Solutions of Boundary Value Problems

2016

We consider boundary value problems of the form $$\displaystyle\begin{array}{rcl} & x'' = f(t,x,x'), & {}\\ & x(a) = A,\quad x(b) = B,& {}\\ \end{array}$$ assuming that f is continuous together with f x and fx′. We study also equations in a quasi-linear form $$\displaystyle{x'' + p(t)x' + q(t)x = F(t,x,x').}$$ Introducing types of solutions of boundary value problems as an oscillatory type of the respective equation of variations, we show that for a solution of definite type, the problem can be reformulated in a quasi-linear form. Resonant problems are considered separately. Any resonant problem that has no solutions of indefinite type is in fact nonresonant. The ways of how to detect solut…

Symmetric-group approach to the study of the traces ofp-order reduced-density operators and of products of these operators

1990

In this work we give the values of traces of p-order reduced-density operators. These traces are obtained by application of the spin functions and of the symmetric-group properties. The relations obtained here will allow an easy and fast evaluation of the high-order spin-adapted reduced Hamiltonian matrix elements and high-order Hamiltonian moments.

High-Precision Q -Value Measurement Confirms the Potential of Cs135 for Absolute Antineutrino Mass Scale Determination

2020

The ground-state-to-ground-state $\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay $Q$ value of $^{135}\mathrm{Cs}(7/{2}^{+})\ensuremath{\rightarrow}^{135}\mathrm{Ba}(3/{2}^{+})$ has been directly measured for the first time. The measurement was done utilizing both the phase-imaging ion-cyclotron resonance technique and the time-of-flight ion-cyclotron resonance technique at the JYFLTRAP Penning-trap setup and yielded a mass difference of 268.66(30) keV between $^{135}\mathrm{Cs}(7/{2}^{+})$ and $^{135}\mathrm{Ba}(3/{2}^{+})$. With this very small uncertainty, this measurement is a factor of 3 more precise than the currently adopted $Q$ value in the Atomic Mass Evaluation 2016. The measurement confirms that the f…

Smallest KnownQValue of Any Nuclear Decay: The Rareβ−Decay ofIn115(9/2+)→Sn115(3/2+)

2009

The ground-state-to-ground-state Q_{beta;{-}} value of ;{115}In was determined to 497.68(17) keV using a high-precision Penning trap facility at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. From this, a Q_{beta;{-}} value of 0.35(17) keV was obtained for the rare beta;{-} decay to the first excited state of ;{115}Sn at 497.334(22) keV. The partial half-life was determined to 4.1(6) x 10;{20} yr using ultra low-background gamma-ray spectrometry in an underground laboratory. Theoretical modeling of this 2nd-forbidden unique beta;{-} transition was also undertaken and resulted in Q_{beta;{-}} = 57_{-12};{+19} eV using the measured half-life. The discrepancy between theory and experiment could be attr…

Stationary states of a two-state defect quadratically coupled to a few bosonic modes

1998

Abstract A fully quantistic microscopic two-phonon interaction model between an active centre and localized modes of an irradiated insulating material is introduced. Its exact diagonalization is accomplished with the help of a suitable unitary operator. Explicit expressions for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors are reported. The possible relevance of such a model in the context of the material science area is briefly pointed out.

Harmonic oscillator model for the atom-surface Casimir-Polder interaction energy

2012

In this paper we consider a quantum harmonic oscillator interacting with the electromagnetic radiation field in the presence of a boundary condition preserving the continuous spectrum of the field, such as an infinite perfectly conducting plate. Using an appropriate Bogoliubov-type transformation we can diagonalize exactly the Hamiltonian of our system in the continuum limit and obtain non-perturbative expressions for its ground-state energy. From the expressions found, the atom-wall Casimir-Polder interaction energy can be obtained, and well-know lowest-order results are recovered as a limiting case. Use and advantage of this method for dealing with other systems where perturbation theory …

Density-potential mappings in quantum dynamics

2012

In a recent letter [Europhys. Lett. 95, 13001 (2011)] the question of whether the density of a time-dependent quantum system determines its external potential was reformulated as a fixed point problem. This idea was used to generalize the existence and uniqueness theorems underlying time-dependent density functional theory. In this work we extend this proof to allow for more general norms and provide a numerical implementation of the fixed-point iteration scheme. We focus on the one-dimensional case as it allows for a more in-depth analysis using singular Sturm-Liouville theory and at the same time provides an easy visualization of the numerical applications in space and time. We give an ex…
