Using time-of-flight spectrometry, the interaction of intense femtosecond
laser pulses with argon clusters has been studied by measuring the energy
and yield of emitted ions. With two different supersonic nozzles, the
dependence of average ion energy
on cluster size
in a large range of
has been measured. The experimental results indicate that
when the cluster size
, the average ion
energy
Coulomb explosion is the
dominant expansion mechanism. Beyond this size, the average ion energy gets
saturated gradually, the clusters exhibit a mixed Coulomb-hydrodynamic
expansion behavior. We also find that with the increasing gas backing
pressure, there is a maximum ion yield, the ion yield decreases as the gas
backing pressure is further increased. 相似文献

The ground state X
of NaCs was studied by laser induced fluorescence Fourier-transform spectroscopy. An accurate potential energy curve was
derived from more than 5000 transitions. This potential reproduces the experimental observations within their uncertainties
of
cm-1 and covers about 99.97% of the potential well depth. Few vibrational levels of the shallow state a
below the atomic ground state asymptote were observed. The identification is mainly done by the observed and quantitatively
interpreted molecular hyperfine structure applying atomic parameters of the ground states of Na and Cs. An estimated potential
curve for a
is reported which can be used together with that of X
for coupled channel calculations of cold collisions between Na and Cs. An example is given.

D2 and 4
S0 while the third photon reach either directly the continuum or one of the autoionizing states. The succession of bound states as well as the transitions above the ionization limit are discussed. The dynamics of the multiphoton excitation processes is also discussed and radiative decay of 4
S0 Ca state with two-photon excitation as well as (the measured) decay times of the Ca autoionizing states using the proper line profiles for different quantum numbers has been determined.Received: 29 September 2003, Published online: 18 May 2004PACS:

The historical importance of the original
quantum mechanical bond theory proposed by Heitler and London in 1927 as well
as its pitfalls are reviewed. Modern ab initio treatments of H-
systems are inconsistent with the logic behind algebraic Hamiltonians
H± =H 0 ± H for charge-symmetrical and charge-asymmetrical 4 unit charge systems
like H2 and H
. Their eigenvalues E± =E 0±
are exactly those of 1927 Heitler-London (HL) theory. Since these
2 Hamiltonians are mutually exclusive, only the attractive one can apply for stable natural molecular H2. A wrong choice leads to problems with antiatom
. In line with earlier results on band and line spectra, we now prove
that HL chose the wrong Hamiltonian for H2. Their theory explains the stability
of attractive system H2 with a repulsive Hamiltonian H0 + H instead
of with the attractive one H0-H, representative for
charge-asymmetrical system H
. A new second order symmetry effect is detected in
this attractive Hamiltonian, which leads to a 3-dimensional structure for
the 4-particle system. Repulsive HL Hamiltonian H+ applies at long
range but at the critical distance, attractive charge-inverted Hamiltonian
H- takes over and leads to bond H2 but in reality, H
, for which we give an analytical proof. This analysis confirms and
generalizes an earlier critique of the wrong long range behavior of
HL-theory by Bingel, Preuss and Schmidtke and by Herring. Another wrong
asymptote choice in the past also applies for atomic antihydrogen
, which has hidden the Mexican hat potential for natural hydrogen. This
generic solution removes most problems, physicists and chemists experience
with atomic
and molecular H
, including the
problem with antimatter in the Universe. 相似文献

Recently, we have reported photoassociation of laser-cooled Rb and Cs atoms, decay of the RbCs photoassociation resonances
to high levels of the
state, and reexcitation to vibronic levels of the
state [Kerman et al. , Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 033004; 153001 (2004)]. Considering the reexcitation spectrum, we report here a preliminary analysis of perturbations in
the c state by high levels of the
and low levels of the
state. Mixing with the B state provides the singlet character needed to stimulate decay to v = 0 of the
ground state. We conclude that an experimental procedure that involves photoassociation of laser-cooled atoms, radiative
decay, and stimulated Raman transfer to the ground electronic state is a feasible method for producing translationally, rotationally,
vibrationally and electronically cold RbCs molecules.

The position of high-energy critical minimum in elastic electron-argon scattering was investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Differential cross-sections (DCSs) were measured as a function of both incident electron energy (40-150 eV) and scattering angle (
), in small steps around the critical minimum. The position of the high-energy critical minimum in elastic electron-argon scattering was experimentally found to be at
eV and
. To cover the energy and angular ranges of the present experiment, relevant relativistic ab initio calculations were carried out, based on the Dirac-Hartree-Fock method with the exchange calculated exactly. Target polarization is described by an ab initio potential taken from relativistic polarized orbital calculations. The calculated position of the high-energy critical minimum is
eV,
. It was shown that even slight difference of fixed scattering angle close to the critical point could affect significantly the energy dependent DCS. Discussion of behavior of DCS in the vicinity of the critical minimum was performed including convolution analysis in both energy and angle.Received: 31 October 2003, Published online: 20 April 2004PACS:

The adiabatic interaction potentials were obtained for the paradigm transition metal-rare gas interactions: Sc(2D)-He and Ti(3F)-He and their di-cations. The ab initio approach included the coupled cluster and multireference configuration interaction methods. He atoms form very weak van der Waals complexes with Sc and Ti with well-depths of ca. 4-5 cm-1. The interactions are characterized by the nearly-degenerate manifolds of adiabatic states with splittings of the order of 0.1 cm-1 or less. The anisotropy of the Ti-He interaction is smaller than that for the Sc-He interaction. The origin of the weak anisotropy of these interactions was analyzed. The exchange repulsion was found to be nearly the same in the
,
and
states due to the valence d-electrons being submerged under the doubly filled 4s electron sub-shell. The anisotropy of the total potential is controlled by the weakly-anisotropic dispersion interaction.Received: 24 September 2004, Published online: 23 November 2004PACS:

A pump-probe atomic parity violation (APV) experiment performed in a longitudinal electric field
, has the advantage of providing a signal which breaks mirror symmetry but preserves cylindrical symmetry of the set-up, i.e. this signal remains invariant when the pump and probe linear polarizations are simultaneously rotated about their common direction of propagation. The excited vapor acts on the probe beam as a linear dichroic amplifier, imprinting a very specific signature on the detected signal. Our differential polarimeter is oriented to yield a null result unless a chirality of some kind is acting on the excited atoms. Ideally, only the APV (
-odd) and the calibration (
-even) signals should participate in such a chiral atomic response, a situation highly favourable to sensitive detection of a tiny effect. In the present work, we give a thorough analysis of possible undesirable defects such as spurious transverse fields or misalignments, which may spoil the ideal configuration and generate a chiral response leading to possible systematics. We study a possible way to get rid of such defects by performing global rotations of the experiment by incremental angular steps
, leaving both stray fields and misalignments unaltered. Our analysis shows that at least two defects are necessary for the
-odd polarimeter output to be affected; a
modulation in the global rotations reveals the transverse nature of the defects. The harmful systematic effects are those which subsist after we average over four configurations obtained by successive rotations of 45
. They require the presence of a stray transverse electric field. By doing auxiliary atomic measurements made in known, applied, magnetic fields which amplify the systematic effect, it is possible to measure the transverse E-field and to minimize it. Transverse magnetic fields must also be carefully compensated following a similar procedure. We discuss the feasibility of reducing the systematic uncertainty below the one percent level. We also propose statistical correlation tests as diagnoses of the aforementioned systematic effects.Received: 19 November 2003, Published online: 19 February 2004PACS:

The lifetime of the
-level in singly-ionized calcium has been measured by the electron-shelving technique on different samples of rf trapped ions. The metastable state has been directly populated by exciting the dipole-forbidden
transition. In ion clouds, the natural lifetime of this metastable level has been measured to be (
) ms. For the single-ion case, we determined a lifetime of (
) ms. The
-error bars at the 2%-level have different origins for the two kinds of experiments: data fitting methods for lifetime measurements in an ion cloud and control of experimental parameters for a single ion. De-shelving effects are extensively discussed. The influence of differing approaches for the processing of the single-ion quantum jump data on the lifetime values is shown. Comparison with recent measurements shows excellent agreement when evaluated from a given method.Received: 14 November 2003, Published online: 24 February 2004PACS:

Photoassociation of ultracold atoms induced by chirped picosecond pulses is analyzed in a non-perturbative treatment by following the wavepacket dynamics on the ground and excited surfaces. The initial state is described by a Boltzmann distribution of stationary continuum states. The chosen example is photoassociation of cesium atoms at temperature
K from the
continuum to bound levels in the external well of the 0
g
-(6s + 6p
3/2) potential. We study how the modification of the pulse characteristics (carrier frequency, duration, linear chirp rate and intensity) can enhance the number of photoassociated molecules and suggest ways of optimizing the production of stable molecules.Received: 30 June 2004, Published online: 23 November 2004PACS:

We have observed the photoassociative spectra of colliding ultracold 39K and 85Rb atoms to produce KRb* in all eight bound electronic states correlating with the 39K (4s) + 85Rb(5p
1/2 and 5p
3/2) asymptotes. These electronically excited KRb* ultracold molecules are detected after their radiative decay to the metastable triplet (a
state and (in some cases) the singlet (X
ground state. The triplet (a
ultracold molecules are detected by two-photon ionization at 602.5 nm to form KRb + , followed by time-of-flight mass spectroscopy. We are able to assign a majority of the spectrum to three states (2(0 + ), 2(0-), 2(1)) in a lower triad of states with similar C
6 values correlating to the K(4s) + Rb (5p
1/2) asymptote; and to five states in an upper triad of three states (3(0 + ), 3(0-), 3(1)) and a dyad of two states (4(1), 1(2)), with one set of similar C
6 values within the upper triad and a different set of similar C
6 values within the dyad. We are also able to make connection with the short-range spectra of Kasahara et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 111, 8857 (1999)], identifying three of our levels as v = 61, 62 and 63 of the 1
4(1) state they observed. We also argue that ultracold photoassociation to levels between the K(4s) + Rb (5p
3/2) and K(4s) + Rb (5p
1/2) asymptotes may be weakly or strongly predissociated and therefore difficult to observe by ionization of a
(or X
molecules; we do know from Kasahara et al. that levels of the 1
4(1) and 2
5(1) states in the intra-asymptote region are predissociated. A small fraction (
1/3) of the triplet (a
ultracold molecules formed are trapped in the weak magnetic field of our magneto-optical trap (MOT).Received: 22 September 2004, Published online: 23 November 2004PACS:

In our previous work we investigated electronically non-adiabatic effects in
using crossed molecular beam scattering
coupled with velocity mapped ion imaging. The prior experiments placed
limits on the cross-section for electronically non-adiabatic spin-orbit
excitation
and electronically non-adiabatic spin-orbit
quenching

In the present work, we investigate
electronically non-adiabatic spin-orbit quenching for
which is the required first step for the
reaction of Cl* to produce ground state HCl+H products. In these
experiments we collide Cl (2P) with H2 at a series of fixed
collision energies using a crossed molecular beam machine with velocity
mapped ion imaging detection. Through an analysis of our ion images, we
determine the fraction of electronically adiabatic scattering in
Cl* +H2, which allows us to place limits on the cross-section for
electronically non-adiabatic scattering or quenching. We determine the following
quenching cross-sections σ quench(2.1 kcal/mol) = 26 ±

We discuss the time-dependent CP asymmetry of the decay
in an extension of the standard model with both a two Higgs doublet and additional fourth-generation quarks. We show that, although the standard model with a two Higgs doublet and the standard model with fourth-generation quarks alone are not likely to largely change the effective
from the decay
, the model with both an additional Higgs doublet and fourth-generation quarks can easily account for the possible large negative value of
without conflicting with other experimental constraints. In this model, additional large CP violating effects may arise from the flavor-changing Yukawa interactions between neutral Higgs bosons and the heavy fourth-generation down type quark, which can modify the QCD penguin contributions. With the constraints obtained from
processes such as
and
, this model can lead to an effective
as large as - 0.4 in the CP asymmetry of

Due to its light mass, of order
, the strange quark can play a special role in chiral symmetry breaking (
SB): differences in the pattern of
SB in the limits Nf = 2 (
, ms physical) and Nf = 3 (
) may arise due to vacuum fluctuations of
pairs, related to the violation of the Zweig rule in the scalar sector and encoded in particular in the O(p4) low-energy constants L4 and L6. In case of large fluctuations, we show that the customary treatment of SU(3) x SU(3) chiral expansions generates instabilities upsetting their convergence. We develop a systematic program to cure these instabilities by resumming non-perturbatively vacuum fluctuations of
pairs, in order to extract information about
SB from experimental observations even in the presence of large fluctuations. We advocate a Bayesian framework for treating the uncertainties due to the higher orders. As an application, we present a three-flavor analysis of the low-energy
scattering and show that the recent experimental data imply a lower bound on the quark mass ratio
at 95% confidence level. We outline how additional information may be incorporated to further constrain the pattern of
SB in the Nf = 3 chiral limit.Received: 2 December 2003, Published online: 3 March 2004J. Stern: stern@ipno.in2p3.fr 相似文献

Results are presented on the photoproduction of isolated prompt photons, inclusively and associated with jets, in the
center of mass energy range 142 < W < 266 GeV. The cross sections are measured for the transverse momentum range of the photons

jet > 4.5 GeV. They are measured differentially as a function of
, the pseudorapidities
and
and estimators of the momentum fractions
and x
p
of the incident photon and proton carried by the constituents participating in the hard process. In order to further investigate the underlying dynamics, the angular correlation between the prompt photon and the jet in the transverse plane is studied. Predictions by perturbative QCD calculations in next to leading order are about
below the inclusive prompt photon data after corrections for hadronisation and multiple interactions, but are in reasonable agreement with the results for prompt photons associated with jets. Comparisons with the predictions of the event generators PYTHIA and HERWIG are also presented.Received: 13 July 2004, Revised: 15 November 2004, Published online: 17 December 2004 相似文献

Measurements of multiphoton ionization and dissociation of acetone are reported in the wavelength range 582.60-585.80 nm at photon energy resolution of 0.3 cm-1. To our knowledge there are not available results of (3 + 2) REMPI on acetone at 0.01 nm in this region. The experiments were performed using an Nd: YAG-OPO (optical parametric oscillator) laser system coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The ion yield and the single ion channel are presented. The high-resolution three-photon resonance multiphoton spectrum of the acetone
Rydberg transition is also reported. The experimental results show three dissociation channels of the acetone ion, leading to the products: (CH3CO + ), (CH3
+ ) and (COH + ); the channel CH3COCH
3CO + + CH3 being the most favored. The acetone and acetyl ions are observed in all wavelength range investigated. In addition, we have measured the origin of the

transitions, and vibrational bands of the 3s state.Received: 21 March 2004, Published online: 11 May 2004PACS:
