We consider the scattering problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in 1+1 dimensions: where = /x,R{0},R,p>3. We show that modified wave operators for (*) exist on a dense set of a neighborhood of zero in the Lebesgue spaceL ²(R) or in the Sobolev spaceH ¹(R)., The modified wave operators are introduced in order to control the long range nonlinearity |u|² u.Laboratoire associé au Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique     

Isotope dependence of particle-decay rates of muonic molecular ions (d3,4Heμ) J=1 below (dμ)1s-3,4He threshold

Rates of particle-emitting decay of the resonant state of the muonic molecular ion (dHe) _J=1 lying below the (d)_1s-He threshold can decay to the d-He scattering state. The resonant state is estimated by scattering calculations with the non-adiabatic coupled-rearrangement-channel method. Strong isotope dependence of the decay rates of (d³He) _J=1 and (d⁴He) _J=1 is predicted, though the calculated radiative decay rates of the states are almost the same. In (d³He) _J=1, the particle decay width is three times larger than the radiative decay width, while the two types of decay widths are almost the same in (d⁴He) _J=1. This results in a strong hindrance of the branching ratio of the radiative decay of (d³He) _J=1 compared with the case of (d⁴He) _J=1. This is consistent with a recent observation of the radiative decay of the two molecular states.     

Experimental survey of the sticking problem in muon catalyzed dt fusion

The sticking process dt + n, which constitutes the most severe limit to the number of fusions which a muon can catalyze, is reviewed. Many attempts were made to determine by calculations and measurements the probability for initial sticking _s ⁰ (immediately after dt fusion) and for final sticking _s (after the came to rest). Previous results based on neutron disappearance rates and on the observation of -X-rays were controversial and also in some disagreement with theory. New data are reported from PSI on direct observation of final sticking, using a setup with the St. Petersburg ionization chamber. These data mark a significant improvement in reliability and may clarify questions concerning previous discrepancies. The new results is _s(0.56±0.04)%, lower than the theory prediction _s=(0.65±0.03)%, at medium density.     

Nelson's symmetry and the infinite volume behavior of the vacuum inP(φ)2

LetH _l be the Hamiltonian in aP()₂ theory with sharp space cutoff in the interval (–l/2,l/2). LetE _l =inf(H _l ), (l)=–E _l /l, and let _l be the vacuum forH _l . discuss properties of (l) and _l . In particular, asl, there are finite constants <0 and such that (l), ((l)–)l, and hence (l)=+/l+o(l ^–1). Moreover exp(–c ₁ l) _{l 1}exp(–c ₂ l) forc ₁,c ₂ positive constants, where _{l 1} is theL ¹(Q, d₀) norm of ₁ with respect to the Fock vacuum measure. We also present a new proof of recent estimates of Glimm and Jaffe on local perturbations ofH _l in the infinite volume limit.Research sponsored by AFOSR under Contract No. F44620-71-C-0108.On leave from Istituto di Fisica Teorica, Universitá di Napoli and Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Sezione di Napoli.A.

One criterion of semigroup product convergence

Let exp(-tA) and exp(-tB) be C ₀ contraction semigroups on both K and , where K is a Hilbert space and is a reflexive Banach space such that the linear space K is dense both in K and . Let ^* be a dual pair of Banach spaces. In this paper we study some properties of infinitesimal operators of these semigroups. We show that under suitable assumptions there is some connection between the form-sum A+B and a closure of A ₁+B₁, where -A ₁ is an infinitesimal operator of C ₀ contraction semigroup exp(-tA ₁) which is the extension by continuity on of C ₀ contraction semigroup exp(-tA) Kin . In particular we give some criterion of an m-accretive closability A ₁+B ₁ which may be applied for example to the Schrödinger operators acting in suitable L ^p-spaces. Also this criterion together with properties of semigroups under consideration results in the establishment of the Lie-Trotter formulae.     

Role of Activator and Vacancy Centers in the Decay of the Gamma Scintillators of CsI–Na Crystals

The influence of the concentration of an activator (C _NaI) and of plastic deformation on a change in the contribution of a slow component to the decay of the -scintillations of CsI–Na crystals was investigated, as well as the influence of C _NaI on a change in the shape of the luminescence excitation spectrum in the region of absorption of activator centers (AC) and of vacancy-related centers (VRC) and also on a change in the intercenter time of deexcitation of the centers indicated. It is shown that AC and VRC participate in the photoluminescence and -scintillations of CsI–Na crystals. In the -scintillations, AC are responsible for the component ₁ = 370 nsec, whereas the components ₁ = 460 nsec and ₂ 2 sec are associated with VRC. The reduction of ₁ from 770 to 560 nsec with an increase in C _NaI from 2·10^–3 to 3·10^–2 mole% and from 570 to 470 nsec after plastic deformation of the crystals ( = 5%) along the 111 axis is caused by a decrease in the number of VRC. The mechanisms underlying the -scintillations of the CaI–Na crystals containing AC and VRC and also the decrease in the number of VRC are discussed.     

The inelastic reactions πp→λ(⌆) K with allowance for the contribution of branch cuts

The method of complex angular moments is used to analyze the experimental data on the inelastic reactions p ()K, taking into account branch cuts in the j-plane in the eikonal approximation. An optical model for the backward scattering is considered. Agreement with experiment is obtained in the region of small angles for the reactions (⁰)K⁰. In the case of ^–P K⁰(^–K⁺) processes, agreement is obtained with the experimental results for large (180) scattering angles.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 26–30, August, 1972.     

Low-energy elementary surface excitations of symmetric films of liquid4He atT=0 K

It is known that low-energy elementary excitations of symmetric films of liquid⁴He atT=0 K are characterized by a momentum q parallel to the surface and may be described by bound states. We have evaluated wave functions and energies of these states for both best short-ranged and optimal long-ranged correlations. Quantities of physical interest may be expressed in terms of these eigenstates and, in particular, for very small momenta (q<0.2 Å^–1) they are mainly determined by the contribution due to the lowest-lying one. We propose analytic expressions for the lowest-lying excitations and fluctuations in the long-wavelength limit. It is proved that in this limiting case, the excitation energy _LW(q) and the averaged static structure functionS _LW(q) should go linearly to zero asq0, whereas the averaged direct correlationX _LW ^Dg (q) should diverge at the origin as 1/q. It is shown that numerical solutions exhibit the expected long-wavelength behavior provided that optimal correlations are used. All these results are displayed in a series of figures and are discussed in detail.     

On the significance of Killing tensors

Killing vectors give the linear first integrals of the geodesic equations on Riemannian manifolds and spacetimes, while Killing tensors give the quadratic, cubic, and higher-order first integrals. Here it is shown that the Lie algebra of Killing vectors,, is extended by Killing tensors into a graded algebra,. This sheds some light on the comment by Xanthopoulos [1] on the apparent scarcity of irreducible Killing tensors. Examples are presented of the graded algebras when is abelian and when is nonabelian.     

A model of turbulent mixing in the A+B→0 reaction

The diffusion limited reaction A+B0 in sufficiently low dimensions results in macroscopically self-regregated systems with anomalous reaction rate laws. When the chemical mixture is embedded in a fluctuating velocity field having statistics mimicking turbulent diffusion the effects of spatial inhomogeneities are washed out and the classical global reaction rate laws in three dimensions result.     

Form of the Frequency Spectrum of Fluctuating Radiation in the Case of Interferometric Reception During Experiments on Radio Sounding of the Solar Corona

We study theoretically the profile of a spectral line of radiation which is received by an interferometer after propagation through a medium with developed turbulent structure. We derive a formula describing the resulting frequency spectrum of an initially monochromatic radiation after its propagation through a multi-scale medium with strong large-scale and weak small-scale irregularities. It is shown that the frequency spectrum observed in this case should comprise the main spectral line with Gaussian profile and wings decreasing according to a power law with index dependent on the orientation of the interferometer baseline with respect to the direction of regular drift of frozen-in irregularities of the medium. We analyze distortions of the spectral response of a very-long-baseline interferometer due to the effect of large-scale irregularities of a medium with developed turbulent structure on wideband radiation from extraterrestrial discrete radio sources. It is shown that if the amplitude fluctuations of the received radiation are weak, then the measured frequency spectrum contains information on the drift velocity and the index of the spatial spectrum of interplanetary plasma irregularities with scales from hundreds to thousands of kilometers.     

The effect of microsegregation on the generation of dislocations in zinc single crystals

The applicability of Tiller's considerations on the production of dislocations is proved. The density of dislocations appearing during impurity microsegregation increases with increasing rate of growth as a consequence of the corresponding change in the effective distribution coefficient. The real value of C at the microsegregation boundaries is at least twice as great as the average value of the concentration of impurities in the crystal in question.

Derivation and solution of a low-friction Fokker-Planck equation for a bound Brownian particle

The low-friction region of an anharmonically bound Brownian particle is examined using systematic elimination procedures. We obtain an asymptotic expression for the spectrum of the Fokker-Planck operator. Asymptotic means both small anharmonicities and small friction constants compared to the oscillatory frequency . We conclude that Kramers' low-friction equation is generally valid only for 0<0.01 and has to be modified for 0.01 by including phase-dependent terms. From these the nonlinear part of the force field in connection with a finite temperature is shown to shorten the correlation time of the equilibrium velocity autocorrelation function and to renormalize the frequency of the corresponding spectral density.

Statistics of complex levels of random matrices for decaying systems

We present analytical and numerical results for the level density of a certain class of random non-Hermitian matrices =H+i. The conservative partH belongs to the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble while the damping piece is quadratic in Gaussian random numbers and may describe the decay of resonances through various channels. In the limit of a large matrix dimension the level density assumes a surprisingly simple dependence on the relative strength of the damping and the number of channels. Moreover, we identify situations with cubic repulsion between the complex eigenvalues of , to within a logarithmic correction.

Lasing action of active-particles dispersed in microdroplets and its enhanced characteristics by highly scattering intralipid-10% mixture

The first laser action of active-particles of 1–2 m in diameter, red fluorescent-powder (FP), dispersed in nonactive (nonlasing) 100 m-sized liquid microdroplets is reported. Lasing characteristics of FP-containing microdroplets by mixing Intralipid-10% as highly scattering turbid media are also described. Well-defined lasing thresholds can be confirmed from the FP-dispersed pure microdroplets, and lowered lasing threshold along with enhanced lasing emission is achieved by appropriately mixing the Intralipid-10% solution. Lasing threshold in these microdroplets can be determined not through the spectral narrowing features but through the input–output data. We believe that these new microdroplet configurations offer one of the new categories of lasing media and they seem also to simulate to some biological pigments or organelles contained in cells and small tissues.     

Entropy andp-particle observables. I. The general program

An information-theoretic notion of entropy is proposed for a system ofN interacting particles which assesses an observer's limited knowledge of the state of the system, assuming that he or she can measure with arbitrary precision all one-particle observables and correlations involving some numberp of the particles but is completely ignorant of the form of any higher-order correlations involving more thanp particles. The idea is to define a generic measure of entropyS[ ] = –Tr log for an arbitrary density matrix or distribution function , and then, given the trueN-particle, to define a reduced _R ^P which reflects the observer's partial knowledge. The result, at any timet, is a chain of inequalitiesS[ _R ¹ ]S[ _R ² ]...S[ _R ^N ]S[], with true equalityS[ _R ^p ]=S[ _R ^p+1 ] if and only if the true factorizes exactly into a product of contributions involving all possiblep-particle groupings. It follows further than (1) if, at some initial timet ₀, the true factorizes in this way, thenS[ _R ^p (]S[ _R ^p (t ₀)] for all finite timest>t ₀, with equality if and only if the factorization is restored, and (2) the initial response of the system must be to increase itsp-particle entropy.     

〈φ2〉 in the Spacetime of a Cylindrical Black Hole

The renormalised value of² is calculated for amassless, conformally coupled scalar field in theHartle-Hawking vacuum state. This quantity is used as ameasure of vacuum polarization induced by the presence of gravitation. It isalso a step towards the calculation of the gravitationalback reaction of the field in a black cosmic stringspacetime which is asymptotically anti-de Sitter and possesses a non constant dilaton field. Itis found that the field is divergence free throughoutthe spacetime and attains its maximum value near thehorizon.
