The equation of motion and gravitational radiation of a small extended spherically symmetric mass

On the basis of an approximation method developed in a previous paper the motion of an extended small mass on a gravitational background is investigated. The mass is described by a spherically symmetric rest mass distribution with some form of rigidity; the smallness of the mass is defined by the assumption that the radius of the mass is small compared with the change of the background . The equation of motion is yielded by integrating Einstein's conservation law of energy and momentum over the world tube of the mass. In the lowest mixed order (mixed of the background and the retarded potentials of the mass in lowest order) this equation is identical with the geodesic line linearized in . In the case when the motion on a static background generated by a localized matter distribution is finite, the gravitational radiation of the mass in lowest order is given.     

The equation of motion and gravitational radiation of an ideal fluid sphere moving in a gravitational background

On the basis of an approximation method developed in a previous paper the motion of an ideal fluid sphere in a weak gravitational background is investigated. The sphere is assumed to be small in the sense that its radius is small compared with the change of the background . Furthermore the deformations of the sphere when accelerated by the background are assumed to be small compared with the extension of the sphere in the absence of acceleration. In the lowest mixed order (mixed of the background and the retarded potentials of the sphere in lowest order) the equation of motion is yielded by integrating Einstein's conservation law of energy and momentum over the world-tube of the sphere. One obtains an equation of motion for the center of the sphere that is identical with the geodesic line linearized in . In the case of a static background of a localized matter distribution it is shown that Einstein's energy-momentum complex formed with the retarded potentials from the accelerated motion of the sphere in lowest order (lowest mixed order) leads to an outgoing radiation of gravitational energy. All radiation terms can be expressed in terms of the background and the world-line of the center of the sphere.

Gauge-invariant on-shellZ 2 in QED,QCD and the effective field theory of a static quark

We calculate theon-shell fermion wave-function renormalization constantZ ₂ of a general gauge theory, to two loops, inD dimensions and in an arbitrary covariant gauge, and find it to be gauge-invariant. In QED this is consistent with the dimensionally regularized version of the Johnson-Zumino relation: d logZ ₂/da ₀=i(2)^–D e ₀ ² d ^D k/k ⁴=0. In QCD it is, we believe, a new result, strongly suggestive of the cancellation of the gauge-dependent parts of non-abelian UV and IR anomalous dimensions to all orders. At the two-loop level, we find that the anomalous dimension _F of the fermion field in minimally subtracted QCD, withN _L light-quark flavours, differs from the corresponding anomalous dimension of the effective field theory of a static quark by the gauge-invariant amount

Dirac Equation in an Axial Coulomb Potential

Tunneling Across an Inhomogeneous Delta-Barrier

The authors deal with the tunneling of electrons across an inhomogeneous delta-barrier defined by the potential energy (where 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> and 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> are two constants). In particular, the perpendicular incidence of an electron with a given value of the wave vector is considered. The electron is forward-scattered into the region behind the barrier (region 2: 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> ), i. e. the wave function is composed of plane waves with all wave vectors such that and \left. 0 \right)} $$ " align="middle" border="0"> ) (where ). Therefore, if 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> , the wave function of the electron is represented as , where . An approximate formula is derived for the amplitude . The authors pay a special attention to the flow density and calculate this function in two cases: 1. for the plane and 2. for high values of is the diffraction angle). The authors discuss the relevance of their diffraction problem in a prospective quantum-mechanical theory of the tunneling of electrons across a randomly inhomogeneous Schottky barrier.

An expansion of Hartree-Fock and correlation energies,relativistic corrections and the dipole matrix element in the powers of of 1/Z

Feynman diagrammatic technique was used for the calculation of Hartree-Fock and correlation energies, relativistic corrections, dipole matrix element. The whole energy of atomic system was defined as a polen-electron Green function. Breit operator was used for the calculation of relativistic corrections. The Feynman diagrammatic technique was developed for 〈H_B>. Analytical expressions for the contributions from diagrams were received. The calculations were carried out for the terms of such configurations as 1s² 2sⁿ¹ 2pⁿ² (2 ≧n₁≧ 0, 6≧ n₂ ≧ 0). Numerical results are presented for the energies of the terms in the form $$E = E_0 Z^2 + \Delta {\rm E}_2 + \frac{1}{Z}\Delta {\rm E}_3 + \frac{{\alpha ^2 }}{4}(E_0^r + \Delta {\rm E}_1^r Z^3 )$$ and for fine structure of the terms in the form $$\begin{gathered} \left\langle {1s^2 2s^{n_1 } 2p^{n_2 } LSJ|H_B |1s^2 2s^{n_1 \prime } 2p^{n_2 \prime } L\prime S\prime J} \right\rangle = \hfill \\ = ( - 1)^{\alpha + S\prime + J} \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {L S J} \\ {S\prime L\prime 1} \\ \end{array} } \right\}\frac{{\alpha ^2 }}{4}(Z - A)^3 [E^{(0)} (Z - B) + \varepsilon _{co} ] + \hfill \\ + ( - 1)^{L + S\prime + J} \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {L S J} \\ {S\prime L\prime 2} \\ \end{array} } \right\}\frac{{\alpha ^2 }}{4}(Z - A)^3 \varepsilon _{cc} . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Dipole matrix elements are necessary for calculations of oscillator strengths and transition probabilities. For dipole matrix elements two members of expansion by 1/Z have been obtained. Numerical results were presented in the form P(a,a′) = a/Z(1+τ/Z).

Updated estimate of the muon magnetic momentusing revised results from <Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis><Superscript> + </Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis><Superscript>-</Superscript>annihilation

A new evaluation of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon magnetic moment is presented. We take into account the reanalysis of the low-energy e ⁺ e ^-annihilation cross section into hadrons by the CMD-2 Collaboration. The agreement between e ⁺ e ^-and spectral functions in the channel is found to be much improved. Nevertheless, significant discrepancies remain in the center-of-mass energy range between 0.85 and , so that we refrain from averaging the two data sets. The values found for the lowest-order hadronic vacuum polarization contributions are where the errors have been separated according to their sources: experimental, missing radiative corrections in e ⁺ e ^-data, and isospin breaking. The corresponding Standard Model predictions for the muon magnetic anomaly read where the errors account for the hadronic, light-by-light (LBL) scattering and electroweak contributions. The deviations from the measurement at BNL are found to be (1.9 ) and (0.7 ) for the e ⁺ e ^-- and -based estimates, respectively, where the second error is from the LBL contribution and the third one from the BNL measurement.Received: 7 September 2003, Published online: 30 October 2003

An electric Molecular-Beam-Resonance-Spectrometer has been used to measure simultanously the Zeeman- and Stark-effect splitting of the hyperfine structure of³⁹K¹⁹ F. Electric four pole lenses served as focusing and refocusing fields of the spectrometer. A homogenous magnetic field (Zeeman field) was superimposed to the electric field (Stark field) in the transition region of the apparatus.

Levinson's Theorem for the Nonlocal Interaction in One Dimension

The Levinson theorem for the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with both local and the nonlocal symmetric potentials is established by the Sturm–Liouville theorem. The critical case where the Schro;audinger equation has a finite zero-energy solution is also analyzed. It is shown that the number n ₊ (n _–) of bound states with even (odd) parity is related to the phase shift ₊(0)[_–(0)] of the scattering states with the same parity at zero momentum as

QCD perturbation theory in the temporal gauge

In this paper we present a non-trivial check of the consistency of the quantization of a gauge theory with fermions (QCD) in the temporal gauge. We use the approach based on the finite time Feynman propagation kernel, in which the Gauss law is imposed as a constraint on the states by means of a functional integration over all the time independent gauge transformations acting on the boundary values of the fields. We spell out in detail the “Feynman rules” when fermions are present and we compute, as an example, the gauge invariant correlation function $$\begin{gathered} G(t) = \left\langle {\bar \psi (0,t)(\gamma _5 \gamma _0 )\frac{{1 - \gamma _0 }}{2}P} \right. \hfill \\ \left. { \cdot \exp \left( {ig\int\limits_0^t {A_0 (0,t')dt'} } \right)(\gamma _5 \gamma _0 )^ + (0,0)} \right\rangle \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ up to orderg ², obtaining the expected result.
