Microscopic descriptions of collective SD bands in the A=190 mass region with the Gogny force

In the framework of microscopic models, we present two methods for describing superdeformed (SD) band properties. The first one is the cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) method, without and with inclusion of particle number projection. The second one is the Gaussian overlap approximation to the generator coordinate method (GCM+GOA) with whichwetreat the five quadrupole collective coordinates. Both methods use the Gogny force. Moments of inertia and excitation energies of SD bands are calculated and compared with experimental results.     

Effect of aggregation on the absorption cross-section of fractal soot aggregates and its impact on LII modelling

This study concerns the effect of particle aggregation on laser heating rate of soot aggregates in laser-induced incandescence. Three aggregate absorption models were investigated: the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans approximation, the electrostatics approximation, and the numerically exact generalized multi-sphere Mie-solution method. Fractal aggregates containing 5-893 primary particles of 30 nm in diameter were generated numerically using a combined particle-cluster and cluster-cluster aggregation algorithm with specific fractal parameters typical of soot. The primary particle size parameters considered are 0.089, 0.177, and 0.354. The Rayleigh-Debye-Gans approximation neglects the effect of particle aggregation on absorption; so it underestimates the aggregate absorption cross-section area by approximately 10%, depending on the aggregate size and primary particle size parameter. The electrostatics approximation is somewhat better than the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans approximation, but cannot account for the effect of primary particle size parameter. The aggregate absorption submodel affects the calculated soot temperature in laser-induced incandescence mainly in the low laser fluence regime. At high laser fluences, the effect diminishes due to the enhanced importance of soot sublimation cooling and neglect of aggregation effect in the sublimation in the present numerical model of laser-induced incandescence.     

Exact kinetic transport equation solutions in the particle propagation theory in the scattering medium

Charged particle kinetics in an inhomogeneous medium (stochastic magnetic field) is investigated. Exact analytic expressions for Green function of kinetic equation in relaxation-time approximation are derived in one and three dimensions with arbitrary particle absorption. We separately consider the case of isotropic particle injection as well as the case of unidirectional instantaneous particle injection. The new way of solution makes it possible to get off any Cauchy-Principal Value integrals in some solutions which arise in the inverse Fourier-Laplace transform. Weak scattering regime and diffusion approximation is considered, and particle density is derived in three dimensions and arbitrary particle source.     

Electroproduction of strangeness

Formalism for the electroproduction of strange particles based on the one photon exchange approximation and the Feynman diagrams representation of hadron current is reviewed. Different photoproduction models are compared with available photo and electroproduction data. New experiments are proposed that may resolve existing uncertainties and inconsistencies. The formation of hypernuclei via kaon electroproduction is investigated theoretically and compared with other reactions involving purely hadronic processes.     

Classical and quantum scattering by a gravitational center

The corrections to the leading term of the small-angle deflection of a classical particle by the Schwarzschild field and its linear approximation were found. The corresponding cross sections were obtained. The comparison with known in Born approximation cross sections for quantum massless particles of spins 0, 1, and 2 shows that only the leading term in all cases is the same. As the conditions for classical treatment are well fulfilled, this means that the classical results are much more accurate than the quantum one in Born approximation. The fact that the photon cross section is always smaller than that of massless scalar particle (both in Born approximation) suggests that with small probability (at least of order of the difference of these cross sections) the photon can fly by the Sun without deflection. The deflection of light, observable at a final distance from the Sun, is also considered and it is shown that measurements at the distances of several Sun’s radii will decide which coordinate system is the privileged one.     

On nonlinear dynamics of a sheet electron beam

The nonstationary model is considered allowed to describe the sheet electron beam dynamics with nonuniform current density profile in collisionless approximation. The kinetic distribution function is used dependent on the particle motion integral, so the distribution function automatically satisfies to Vlasov equation. The results of numerical and analytical calculations are discussed.     

General derivation of the total electromagnetic cross sections for an arbitrary particle

This work concerns a common problem in electromagnetic scattering; calculation of the total scattering, extinction, and absorption cross sections for an arbitrary particle. Typical expressions for the cross sections are obtained in terms of the vector spherical wave function expansions for the incident and scattered waves. The unique aspect of this work is that the derivation is carried out specifically without use of the far-field zone approximation. The resulting expressions, valid at any distance, exactly match those obtained from the far-field approximation. This demonstrates that the cross sections are independent of the distance from the particle at which they are calculated as one would expect from energy conservation. Numerical simulations of the near and far-field zone energy flows due to a spherical particle are presented to illustrate several implications of this result.

Numerical approximation of the Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck system in two dimensions

A numerical method is developed for approximating the solution to the Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck system in two spatial dimensions. The method generalizes the approximation for the system in one dimension given in [S. Wollman, E. Ozizmir, Numerical approximation of the Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck system in one dimension, J. Comput. Phys. 202 (2005) 602–644]. The numerical procedure is based on a change of variables that puts the convection–diffusion equation into a form so that finite difference methods for parabolic type partial differential equations can be applied. The computational cycle combines a type of deterministic particle method with a periodic interpolation of the solution along particle trajectories onto a fixed grid. computational work is done to demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the approximation method. Parts of the numerical procedure are adapted to run on a parallel computer.     

Diffusion and annihilation of a particle on a disordered chain

We present an effective-medium approximation to a diffusion model of a particle in a one dimensional medium, that can be annihilated. This approximation is compared with results based on a multistate continuous-time random walk. The mean-square displacement and the annihilation rate in Laplace transformed form are computed in both schemes. We also analyse the small- and largetime asymptotic behavior of the effective hopping and annihilation probabilities per unit time. The effectivemedium approximation results are in full agreement with those of the multistate continuous-time random walk scheme only under a linear approximation of the square root that appears in the Green's function for a homogeneous medium.     

OCCUPATION RENORMALIZED HARTREE-FOCK APPROXIMATION IN LIPKIN MODEL

The occupation renormalized Hartree-Fock single particle potential is extended to include the 'particle' state occupation. The exac solution of the occupation renormalized Hartree-Fock approximation and that of the Hartree-Fock approximation are calculated in Lipkin Model. It turns out that the RHF solution is more close to the exact one than the HF solution. The effect of occupation probability depends on the strength of the interaction of the two body term.     

On local one-particle approximations and locally conserved currents

Local one-particle approximations are constructed for matrix elements of two local field operators. If one of the fields is a locally conserved current the approximation is extended in such a way that both locality and current conservation are valid in the approximation.     

Semiclassical approximation of the Dirac equation with supersymmetry

The general scheme of the successive construction of semiclassical approximation for the classical Dirac equation in a background Yang-Mills field, where the usual Dirac operator is replaced by that with supersymmetry, is suggested. The first two terms of the semiclassical expansion in Planck’s constant are derived in an explicit form. It is shown that supersymmetry of the initial Dirac operator leads to appearance of new additional terms in the classical equation of motion for spin of a particle and ipso facto requires appropriate modification for the Lagrangian of the spinning particle. The result obtained is used for the construction of one-to-one mapping between two Lagrangians of a classical color-charged spinning particle, one of which possesses local supersymmetry, and another doesn’t. It is demonstrated that for recovery of the one-to-oneness the additional terms obtained above in the semiclassical approximation of the Dirac operator with supersymmetry should be added to the Lagrangian without supersymmetry.     

Kinetische Herleitung verallgemeinerter NERNST-PLANCK-Gleichungen. III. Eindimensionales Membranmodell

In this part onedimensional models of membranesystems are treated, i.e. such membranes, which are unbounded in two dimensions y, z. The equations of motion for such systems can be derived using the results of part I or of part II. The equation of motion containing the one particle densities can be written in the form of an Onsager relation, the coefficients L_αβ of which are symmetric. The dependence of L_αβ on the densities is calculated. The approximation used up to now in the literature is seen to be the lowest order one. Global balancy equations yield the boundary conditions on surfaces of discontinuities. It is shown that the usually used formula for the Donnan equilibrium is only formally correct.     

Screening of persistent currents in mesoscopic metal rings

The effect of the Coulomb-interaction on persistent currents in disordered mesoscopic metal rings threaded by a magnetic flux φ is studied numerically. We use the simplest form of self-consistent Hartree theory, where the spatial variations of the self-consistent Hartree potential are ignored. In this approximation the self-consistent Hartree energies are simply obtained by diagonalizing the non-interacting system via the Lanczos method and then calculating the (disorderdependent) particle number on the ring self-consistently. In the diffusive regime we find that the variance of the total particle number is strongly reduced, in agreement with the prediction of the random-phase approximation. On the other hand, the variance of the number of energy levels in a small interval below the Fermi energy is not affected by the Coulomb interaction. We argue that this implies that the experimentally observed enhancement of the persistent current is due to long-range Coulomb interactions.     

Models for pion introduction with pair correlations

Two models for the production of particles with internal quantum numbers are investigated. They are based on the leading particle approximation. First a unitary isospin invariant S-operator model is constructed for pion production. Then generalized coherent states for particle-antiparticle pairs are introduced from which a statistical operator is derived. Both approaches imply non-vanishing correlation integrals.     

Spectral properties of the Anderson model

An investigation of the one particle spectrum of the (impurity-) Anderson model within the time ordered perturbation approach is presented. The approximation used includes all processes without crossing band electron lines and does not make use of the Brillouin-Wigner scheme. Foregoing treatments are thus generalized in essential points. Local self energies are determined by two coupled integral equations which are solved numerically. Numerical procedures and the validity of the approximation are thoroughly tested for the resonant level model, which deals with only one spin component and is exactly solvable. Calculated spectra for the Anderson model in all regimes of temperature and of local level position are discussed. A remarkable improvement over earlier attempts is found. Connection to the resonant level model is made by analytical continuation in the number of spin components. The approximation is placed into a general context of a conserved skeleton diagram expansion. It is pointed out how it can systematically be improved, and some exact formulas are derived.     

Calculation of decay half-lives for superheavy elements using the double folding model

α decay half-lives of some new synthesized superheavy elements, possibly synthesized superheavy elements and decay products are calculated theoretically within the WKB approximation by using microscopic m-nucleus interaction potentials. These nuclear potentials between the α particle and daughter nuclei are obtained by using the double folding integral of the matter density distribution of the α particle and daughter nuclei with a density-dependent effective nucleon-nucleon interaction, in which the zero-range exchange term is supplemented. The calculated α decay half-lives are compared with those of the different models and experimental data. It is shown that the present calculation successfully provides the half-lives of the observed αdecays for some new superheavy elements and therefore gives reliable predictions for α decay of possibly synthesized superheavy elements in future experiments.     

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) for modeling fluid-structure interactions

Fluid-structure interaction(FSI) is a class of mechanics-related problems with mutual dependence between the fluid and structure parts and it is observable nearly everywhere, in natural phenomena to many engineering systems. The primary challenges in developing numerical models with conventional grid-based methods are the inherent nonlinearity and timedependent nature of FSI, together with possible large deformations and moving interfaces. Smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) method is a truly Lagrangian and meshfree particle method that conveniently treats large deformations and naturally captures rapidly moving interfaces and free surfaces. Since its invention, the SPH method has been widely applied to study different problems in engineering and sciences, including FSI problems. This article presents a review of the recent developments in SPH based modeling techniques for solving FSI-related problems. The basic concepts of SPH along with conventional and higher order particle approximation schemes are first introduced. Then, the implementation of FSI in a pure SPH framework and the hybrid approaches of SPH with other grid-based or particle-based methods are discussed. The SPH models of FSI problems with rigid, elastic and flexible structures, with granular materials, and with extremely intensive loadings are demonstrated. Some discussions on several key techniques in SPH including the balance of accuracy, stability and efficiency, the treatment of material interface, the coupling of SPH with other methods, and the particle regularization and adaptive particle resolution are provided as concluding marks.
