Single-particle potential in a relativistic Hartree-Fock mean field approximation

A relativistic Hartree-Fock mean field approximation is investigated in a model in which the nucléon field interacts with scalar and vector meson fields. The Hartree-Fock potential felt by individual nucléons enters in a relativistic Dirac single-particle equation. It is shown that in the case of symmetric nuclear matter one can always find a potential which is fully equivalent to the most general mean field and which is only the sum of a Lorentz scalar, of one component of a Lorentz tensor and of the fourth component of a Lorentz vector. A non-relativistic potential is derived which yields exactly the same single-particle energies and elastic scattering phase shifts as the relativistic Hartree-Fock potential. Analytical results are presented in the case of nuclear matter. A local density approximation is constructed which enables one to consider finite nuclei. The input parameters of the model can be chosen in such a way that the empirical saturation properties of nuclear matter are well reproduced. Good agreement is obtained between the calculated non-relativistic potential and the empirical value of the real part of the optical-model potential at low and at intermediate energy. At intermediate energy, the wine-bottle bottom shape which had previously been found for the potential in the framework of the relativistic Hartree approximation is maintained when the Fock contribution is included.

Relativistic quantum particle in a time-dependent homogeneous field

A model of the relativistic quantum particle under the action of a time-dependent force is considered. This exactly solvable model is realized in the one-dimensional relativistic configurational x-space and is described by the finite-difference equation. The momentum p-space is one-dimensional Lobachevsky space. We have explicitly constructed the wave functions and propagators for this model in both x- and p-representations. We have also found a solution of a definite class of partial differential and finite-difference equations, which can be interpreted as the operator identities.     

Stability of the Relativistic Maxwellian in a Collisional Plasma

The relativistic Landau-Maxwell system is the most fundamental and complete model for describing the dynamics of a dilute collisional plasma in which particles interact through Coulombic collisions and through their self-consistent electromagnetic field. We construct the first global in time classical solutions. Our solutions are constructed in a periodic box and near the relativistic Maxwellian, the Jüttner solution.Acknowledgements The research is supported in part by NSF grants.     

On classical and quantum relativistic dynamics

A canonical formalism for the relativistic classical mechanics of many particles is proposed. The evolution equations for a charged particle in an electromagnetic field are obtained and the relativistic two-body problem with an invariant interaction is treated. Along the same line a quantum formalism for the spinless relativistic particle is obtained by means of imprimitivity systems according to Mackey theory. A quantum formalism for the spin-1/2 particle is constructed and a new definition of spin1/2 in relativity is proposed. An evolution equation for the spin-1/2 particle in an external electromagnetic field is given. The Bargmann Michel, and Telegdi equation follows from this formalism as a quasiclassical approximation. Finally, a new relativistic model for hydrogenlike atoms is proposed. The spectrum predicted is in agreement with Dirac's when radiative corrections have been added.     

Nonadiabatic heating of a plasma produced by the ionization of a gas by a short intense laser pulse

A hydrodynamic model of the interaction of a short, intense laser pulse with moderate-density gases is constructed. The model systematically takes into account both tunneling-ionization processes and the relativistic motion of the electrons that are produced by the ionization of the gas in the relativistically strong field of the pulse. X-ray spectroscopy data agree well with the proposed theory. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 68, No. 7, 566–571 (10 October 1998)     

A generalization of the Fermi-Breit equation to non-Coulombic spatial interactions

Starting from the relativistic invariance properties at classical level, we generalize the Darwin equation to the case of non-Coulombic spatial interactions. The relativistic correction terms for vector interactions are derived from a given nonrelativistic potential. We show that, for a Coulombic potential, the results coincide with those obtained in the Coulomb gauge. The results are adapted to the quantum theory obtaining a generalization of the Fermi-Breit equation. An Hermitian interaction operator is constructed. A critical comparison with other possible treatments of the retardation terms is performed also discussing the usual choice of the Coulomb gauge. Special attention is devoted to the construction of a model for quark interaction.     

The quantization of a massless relativistic string in a time-like gauge

The massless relativistic string is quantized in a time-like orthonormal gauge. The results are completely equivalent to those obtained in the light-like case. In particular, a strictly canonical quantization procedure succeeds only when the dimension of space-time is 26. The discussion is based on Dirac's formalism for contrained systems and the introduction of classical variables analogous to those defined by Del Giudice, Di Vecchia and Fubini in the dual model.     

Modeling of a Wide Class of Static Stars Within the Framework of a Unified Approach

A class of static spherically symmetrical models of relativistic stars with a preset energy density distribution is examined. An analytical expression for an approximate solution of the Einstein equations is derived by the method of successive approximations in terms of a small parameter determining the star compactness. Equilibrium star configurations are constructed for a family of models and their stability and basic physical characteristics are investigated. The results of modeling of three different astrophysical objects (a neutron star, a white dwarf (Sirius B), and a star of the main sequence (Sun)) have been compared with the available observational data. This allows us to conclude that the suggested model approach is applicable to a wide class of stars.     

Mathematical modeling of a relativistic effect that arises during laser ranging of artificial Earth satellites

A mathematical model of a relativistic effect that arises in the process of laser ranging of artificial Earth satellites (AESs) from the surface of the Earth is constructed. A numerical calculation algorithm is developed and the amplitude of this effect is calculated as a function of the AES orbital position. It is shown that this effect may be measured in the process of ranging of current Russian AESs equipped with laser corner reflectors.     

Single-particle magnetic moments in a relativistic shell model

Starting from the original σ + ω model of Walecka, single-particle properties of finite nuclei are derived in the Dirac-Hartree approximation. In such a model, large relativistic corrections are found for the single-particle Dirac magnetic moment, whose origin is found to be closely connected with the effective nucleon mass in nuclei yielding a reasonable value of the spin-orbit splitting. A phenomenological model, which takes into account tensor as well as space-like vector potentials, is found to reduce considerably the amount of relativistic corrections. A possible connection with the Dirac-Hartree-Fock approximation is discussed.

格点核子-核子势在核物质中的相对论效应(英文)

利用最新的格点核子-核子势研究了核物质中的相对论效应。通过此格点核子-核子势场,首先我们构建一个包括π介子,σ介子以及ω介子的单玻色子交换势。势场中的介子-核子耦合常数以及截断动量通过拟合格点核力得到的核子-核子散射相移确定。随后采用非常成功的第一性原理多体计算方法Brueckner-Hartree-Fock模型,计算了核物质的基本性质。发现对称核物质的状态方程以及饱和性质在非相对论框架和相对论框架中有很明显的区别。在格点核力中,该相对论效应对核物质的结合能提供吸引的贡献。这与采用传统的核力计算得到的结果是相反的。The relativistic effect in nuclear matter is investigated with the latest lattice nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential. A one-boson-exchange potential (OBEP) including three mesons, pion, σ meson and ω meson was constructed based on the lattice NN potential. The meson-nucleon coupling constants and cutoff momentums are determined by fitting the phase shifts of NN scattering from lattice NN potential. The properties of nuclear matter with this OBEP from lattice potential are calculated by one very successful ab initio many-body method, Brueckner-Hartree-Fock model. The equations of state and saturation properties of symmetric nuclear matter present very obvious different behaviors in non-relativistic and relativistic frameworks. The relativistic effect plays attractive contributions with the components of S and D waves in lattice NN potential, which is opposite comparing to the relativistic effect from the conventional NN potential.     

Baryon properties in the relativistic quark model

Properties of heavy and strange baryons are investigated in the framework of the relativistic quark-diquark picture. It is based on the relativistic quark model of hadrons, which was previously successfully applied for the calculation of meson properties. It is assumed that two quarks in a baryon form a diquark and baryon is considered as the bound quark-diquark system. The relativistic effects and diquark internal structure are consistently taken into account. Calculations are performed up to rather high orbital and radial excitations of heavy and strange baryons. On this basis the Regge trajectories are constructed. The rates of semileptonic decays of heavy baryons are calculated. The obtained results agree well with available experimental data.     

Nucleon spin structure in a relativistic constituent quark model

The spin structure of the nucleon is analyzed using a relativistic constituent quark model in light-front formulation. We investigate, in particular, relativistic effects on the axial vector coupling constants. Electromagnetic and axial form factors are constructed in terms of quark form factors that reflect the possible non-trivial structure of the constituent quarks. We study the influence of flavour mixing effects on axial constants and discuss the extent to which such effects can renormalize the singlet axial constant g _A ⁰ from its SU(6) quark model value.
