Optical phase shifts from low-energy neutron cross sections

The Lorentz-weighted average of the S-matrix introduced by G.E. Brown is used in the Feshbach theory of the generalized optical potential to show that the average many-body S-matrix for elastic scattering is exactly equal to the two-body S-matrix of an optical potential. However, the optical potential S-matrix must be evaluated at the complex energy $\text{E}\text{= E + iI,}\text{where}\text{I}$ is the half-width of the lorentzian. The resulting equation for the optical phase shifts (OPS) δ_c, exp $\text{[2iδ}{}_{\mathrm{c}}\text{(}\text{E}\text{)] = 〈S}{}_{\mathrm{cc}}\text{(E)〉}$, holds even when the level spacing D forces the use of an averaging half-width I > D which is comparable to the energy E, providing that the OPS are also evaluated at the complex $\text{E}$ instead of being approximated by their values on the real energy axis at E. An appendix discusses briefly the conditions on a potential necessary for the result obtained by Brown that $\text{〈S}{}_{\mathrm{cc}}\text{(E)〉 = S}{}_{\mathrm{cc}}\text{(}\text{E}\text{)}$ when Lorentz-weighted averaging is used.     

The irreducible Raman scattering tensor operator for the 32 crystallographic point groups and its application to the resonance and electronic Raman effect

The irreducible components of the Raman scattering tensor operator $\text{α}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{\gamma }}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>\Gamma </mtext>}}\text{(}\text{Γ}{}_{\mathrm{ks}}\text{Γ}{}_{\mathrm{k\prime s\prime }}\text{)}$ under the symmetry of a general point group are calculated. The unitary transformations U(Γ_γΓ_ksΓ_k′s′, ρσ) from the Cartesian $\text{α}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{\rho \sigma }}$ and spherical $\text{α}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{Q}}{}^{\mathrm{K}}$ components, respectively, to the irreducible components $\text{α}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{\gamma }}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>\Gamma </mtext>}}\text{(}\text{Γ}{}_{\mathrm{ks}}\text{Γ}{}_{\mathrm{k\prime s\prime }}\text{)}$ for the 32 crystallographic point groups are collected in tables. As an example the unitary transformation U(Γ_γΓ_ksΓ_k′s′, ρσ) is used to discuss the behavior of the scattering tensor in a resonance Raman experiment. With the help of the general formalism the scattering tensor for electronic Raman transitions of transition metal ions is calculated. As an example the scattering tensors of electronic Raman transitions within the ⁵T₂ state of the high-spin trigonal distorted octahedral Fe²⁺ are calculated and the refinement of the selection rules is discussed.     

Three-nucleon results for separable potentials modelled on the Reid soft-core potential

Using a solution to the inverse scattering problem we have generated phase-equivalent separable potentials in the ${}^1\text{S}{}_0$ and ${}^3\text{S}{}_1\text{?}{}^3\text{D}{}_1$ states, which have nearly the same singlet UPA form factors and deuteron parameters (E_D, P_D, Q_D, A_S and $\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{D}}\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{S}}$) as the Reid soft-core potential. We compare our results for the binding energy of the triton and the neutron-deuteron doublet scattering length with the corresponding values for the Reid soft-core potential.     

An experimental investigation of the radiative structure decay K+ → e+υγ

The decay K⁺ → e⁺υγ has been investigated. For the structure-dependent part with positive γ-helicity (SD₊) the branching ratio $\text{Γ(}\text{SD}{}_{\mathrm{+}}\text{)}\text{Γ(}\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{\mu 2}}\text{) = (2.33 ± 0.42) × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?5}}$ is obtained from 51 ± 3 events observed in the kinematical region E_e ? 235 MeV, E_γ > 48 MeV and θ_eγ > 140°. For the corresponding part with negative γ-helicity we obtain an upper limit Γ(SD_?)/Γ(SD₊) < 11 (90% CL) from the sample of electrons with energies 220 MeV ? E_e < 230 MeV and with no γ in the backward direction. This upper limit implies that the ratio of structure-dependent axial vector amplitudes lies outside the region $\text{?1.8 < a}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>K</mtext>}}\text{υ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>K</mtext>}}\text{< ?0.54}$.For the decay $\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{→}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{νν}\text{ν}$ the limit $\text{Γ(}\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{→}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{νν}\text{ν}\text{)/Γ(}\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{e2}}\text{) < 3.8}$ 90% confidence level) was found.     

Observed and calculated interactions between valence states of the NO molecule

No perturbation between two valence states of NO has ever been identified, although many valence-Rydberg and several Rydberg-Rydberg perturbations have been extensively studied. The first valence-valence crossing to be experimentally documented for NO is reported here and occurs between the ¹⁵N¹⁸O B²Π (v = 18) and B′²Δ (v = 1) levels. No level shifts larger than the detection limit of 0.1 cm^?1 are observed at the crossings near $\text{J = 6.5 [B}{}^2\text{Π}\text{(F}{}_1\text{) ～ B′}{}^2\text{Δ}\text{(F}{}_2\text{)]}$ and $\text{J = 12.5 [B}{}^2\text{Π}\text{(F}{}_1\text{) ～ B′}{}^2\text{Δ}\text{(F}{}_1\text{)]}$; two crossings involving higher rotational levels could not be examined. Semi-empirical calculations of spin-orbit and Coriolis perturbation matrix elements indicate that although the electronic part of the $\text{B}{}^2\text{Π}\text{～ B′}{}^2\text{Δ}$ interaction is large, a small vibrational factor renders the ¹⁵N¹⁸O B (v = 18) ? B′ (v = 1) perturbation unobservable. Semi-empirical estimates are given for all perturbation matrix elements of the operators $\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{a}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{l}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{·s}{}_{\mathrm{i}}$ and $\text{B(L}{}_{\mathrm{\pm }}\text{S}{}_{\mathrm{?}}\text{? J}{}_{\mathrm{\pm }}\text{L}{}_{\mathrm{?}}\text{)}$ which connect states belonging to the configurations $\text{(σ2p)}{}^2\text{(π2p)}{}^4\text{(π}{}^1\text{2p)}$, $\text{(σ2p)(π2p)}{}^4\text{(π}{}^1\text{2p)}{}^2$, and $\text{(σ2p)}{}^2\text{(π2p)}{}^3\text{(π}{}^1\text{2p)}{}^2$.     

Poincaré gauge invariance and the dynamical role of spin in gravitational theory

We classify, according to the number of independent gauge fields, Poincaré gauge invariant theoretical frameworks of describing gravity into three categories. One of them may provide the dynamical definition of the spin tensor S and that of the energy-momentum tensor T, resulting in the response equation of matter to gravity with the gravitational field strengths, D′ and F, coupled to the former tensors

$\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{\nu }}{}^{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{;}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{=D′}{}_{\mathrm{\mu \lambda \nu }}\text{T}{}^{\mathrm{\mu \lambda }}\text{+F}{}_{\mathrm{\mu \lambda \nu \rho }}\text{S}{}^{\mathrm{\rho \mu \lambda }}$

, where the right-hand side represents spin force densities. In the absence of spin the response reduces to the conventional one of general relativity, i.e., without the spin forces. For the electromagnetic field the phase-gauge invariance requires the same conclusion as for a scalar field. For a spin $\text{1}\text{2}$ particle there is torsion, which deflects its trajectory from geodesic; an explicit expression for torsion takes a simple form of the axial vector current $\text{ψ}\text{γ}{}_5\text{γ}{}_{\mathrm{k}}\text{ψ}$.     

Optical absorption by neutral bound excitons

In this note we determine the oscillator strengths for the dipole absorption of neutral bound excitons in direct gap semiconductors, using our previously obtained 35-term Page and Fraser type wave function, and taking into account the detailed electronic structure as well as the electron-hole exchange interaction.The envelope part of the oscillator strengths varies considerably with the electron-hole mass ratio $\text{σ =}\text{m}{}^1{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{m}{}^1{}_{\mathrm{h}}$, and is maximum for the (D⁰, X)- complex when σ = 0.4. For typical σ-values (σ? 0.1–0.2), . But when σ approaches zero, the overlapping of the electron and the hole envelope wave functions of the (A⁰,X)-complex decreases progressively so that the oscillator strength also decreases and tends to zero.In the case of zinc-blende materials (T_d) and positive spin-orbit coupling at $\text{k}\text{= 0}$, we confirm that the line strength for transitions to or from $\text{J =}\text{1}\text{2}\text{(Γ}{}_6\text{)}$ or $\text{J =}\text{5}\text{2}\text{(Γ}{}_7\text{+ Γ}{}_8\text{)}$ level of the (A⁰, X)-complex is equal to one quarter of the line strength to or from the $\text{J =}\text{3}\text{2}\text{(Γ}{}_8\text{)}$ level.In the case of CdS, where our computed values are only in qualitative agreement with the experimental values, we discuss the use of the phenomenological result of Rashba.     

The electronic states of nitroanilines

A correlation of spectroscopic data with all-valence-electron, $\text{CNDO}\text{s-CI}$ results has been performed for a number of mono- and disubstituted benzenes containing nitro and/or amino groups. The lowest energy transitions of p-nitroaniline are predicted to be 1¹B₁ ← 1¹A₁, 2¹A₁ ← 1¹A₁, and 2¹B₁ ← 1¹A₁, in the order of increasing energy. These three transitions are assigned to (i.e., are encompassed within) the lowest energy absorption band envelope of p-nitroaniline. The lowest energy predicted transition of o- and m-nitroanilines is 2A′ ← 1A′ and is supposed to correspond to the totality of the lowest energy absorption feature in both of these systems. The orbital excitation nature of these transitions is discussed.     

The mixing and decays of isoscalar mesons

The predictions of a linear mass mixing model for pseudoscalar and vector mesons, which incorporates the effects of radial excitations, are examined. Several analyses are made fitting in each case to a different experimental value of $\text{Γ(ψ →η'γ)}\text{Γ(ψ→ηγ)}$ upon which the η-η′ mixing pattern is very sensitive. Predictions for radiative transitions among the mesons and for the ratio of production amplitudes $\text{σ}\text{(π}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{p→η′n)}\text{σ}\text{(π}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{p→ηn)}$ are compared with experiments. Results indicate a preferred value of 3.1 for $\text{Γ(ψ→η′γ)}\text{Γ(ψ→ηγ)}$.

Energies and dipole matrix elements have been calculated for He, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, and Ne-like ions (configurations 1s²2sⁿ¹2pⁿ²?1s²2s^n1?12pⁿ²⁺¹). The Hartree-Fock energy, the correlation energy, and relativistic corrections were taken into account. Relativistic corrections were obtained by computing the entire quantity H_B. Numerical results are presented for energies of the terms in the form

$\text{E=E}{}_0\text{Z}{}^2\text{+ ΔE}{}_1\text{Z + ΔE}{}_2\text{+}\text{1}\text{Z}\text{ΔE}{}_3\text{+}\text{α}{}^2\text{4}\text{(E}{}_0{}^{\mathrm{p}}\text{Z}{}^4\text{+ ΔE}{}_1{}^{\mathrm{p}}\text{Z}{}^3\text{)}$

, and for the fine structure of the terms in the form

$\text{〈1s}{}^2\text{2s}{}^{\mathrm{n1}}\text{2p}{}^{\mathrm{n2}}\text{LSJ|H}{}_{\mathrm{Б}}\text{|1s}{}^2\text{2s}{}^{\mathrm{n1\prime }}\text{2p}{}^{\mathrm{n2\prime }}\text{L′S′J〉=(?1)}{}^{\mathrm{L+S\prime +J}}\text{LSJ}\text{S′L′1}\text{×}\text{α}{}^2\text{4}\text{(Z?A)}{}^3\text{[E}{}^{\mathrm{(0)}}\text{(Z ?

. Dipole matrix elements are required for calculation of oscillator strengths or transition probabilities. For the dipole matrix elements, two terms of the expansion in $\text{1}\text{Z}$ have been obtained. Numerical results are presented in the form P(a, a′) = (a/Z)[1 + (τ/Z)].     

Predissociation and Λ-doubling in the even-parity Rydberg states of the nitrogen molecule

Predissociations in the y¹Π_g and $\text{x}{}^1\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{g}}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ Rydberg states of N₂ (configurations $\text{1π}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{4pσ}$ and $\text{1π}{}_{\mathrm{u}}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{3pπ}$, respectively) and their likely causes, are discussed. Peaking of rotational intensity at unusually low J values, without sharp breaking off, is interpreted as due to case c^? or case cⁱ predissociation. Λ doubling in the y state, attributed to interactions with the $\text{x}{}^1\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{g}}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ state and with another, ¹Σ⁺, state of the same electron configuration as x, is analyzed. From this analysis the location of the (unobserved) ${}^1\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{g}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ state, here labeled x′, is obtained. It is concluded that the predissociation in the Π⁺ levels of the y state is an indirect one mediated by the interaction with x′ coupled with predissociation of x′ by a ${}^3\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{g}}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ state dissociating to ${}^4\text{S +}{}^2\text{P}$ atoms: combined, however, with perturbation of the y state by the k¹Π_g Rydberg state (configuration $\text{3σ}{}_{\mathrm{g}}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{4dπ}$), whose Π⁺ levels are completely predissociated.     

Analysis of the 2770-Å emission system in I2

A weak emission spectrum of I₂ near 2770 Å is reanalyzed and found to to minate on the A(1u³Π) state. The assigned bands span v″ levels 5–19 and v′ levels 0–8. The new assignment is corroborated by isotope shifts, band profile simulations, and Franck-Condon calculations. The excited state is an ion-pair state, probably the 1g state which tends toward $\text{I}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{(}{}^1\text{S) +}\text{I}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{(}{}^3\text{P}{}_1\text{)}$. In combination with other results for the A state, the analysis yields the following spectroscopic constants: T″_e = 10 907 cm^?1, $\text{D}$″_e = 1640 cm^?1, ω″_e = 95 cm^?1, $\text{R″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.06}\text{A}\text{?}$; T′_e = 47 559.1 cm^?1, ω′_e = 106.60 cm^?1, $\text{R′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.53}\text{A}\text{?}$.     

Microwave optical double resonance and continuous wave dye laser excitation spectroscopy of NO2: Rotational assignment of the K = 0−4 subbands of the 593 nm band

A rotational assignment of approximately 80 lines with K_a′ = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 has been made of the 593 nm ${}^2\text{A}{}_1\text{→}{}^2\text{B}{}_2$ band of NO₂ using cw dye laser excitation and microwave optical double-resonance spectroscopy. Rotational constants for the ²B₂ state were obtained as A = 8.52 cm^?1, B = 0.458 cm^?1, and C = 0.388 cm^?1. Spin splittings for the K_a′ = 0 excited state levels fit a simple symmetric top formula and give $\text{(?}{}_{\mathrm{bb}}\text{+ ?}{}_{\mathrm{cc}}\text{)}\text{2}\text{= ?0.0483}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$. Spin splittings for K_a′ = 1 (N′ even) are irregular and are shown to change sign between N′ = 6 and 8. Assuming that the large inertial defect of 4.66 amu Ų arises solely from A, a structure for the ²B₂ state is obtained which gives $\text{r}\text{(NO) = 1.35}\text{A}\text{?}$ and an ONO angle of 105°. Alternatively, weighting the three rotational constants equally gives $\text{r = 1.29}\text{A}\text{?}$ and θ = 118°.     

s- and p-wave neutron spectroscopy: Part VII. Widths of Neutron Resonances

Neutron reduced widths Γ_n⁰ and Γ_n¹ are reported for about 200 resonances observed in neutron total cross sections of Ca^{40, 44}, Ti⁴⁸, Cr^{50, 52, 54}, Fe^{54, 56}, Ni^{58, 60}, Sr⁸⁸, Y⁸⁹, Sn¹²⁴, Te¹³⁰, Ba^{136, 138}, and Pb^{206, 207, 208}, in the energy region 1 to 200 ^kev. Average parameters $\text{Γ}{}_{\mathrm{n}}{}^0$, $\text{Γ}{}_{\mathrm{n}}{}^0\text{D}$, and $\text{Γ}{}_{\mathrm{n}}{}^{\mathrm{(1)}}\text{D}$ have been derived and the Wigner distribution for local spacings and the Porter-Thomas distribution for reduced widths are verified for the resonances in the even-even nuclei Ca⁴⁰, Fe⁵⁶, Ni⁵⁸, and Ni⁶⁰. A simple method of area analysis which is less tedious and time consuming than the method reported before in Part III is also described.     

Electronic density of levels in a disordered system

Three-, two-, and one-dimensional disordered systems with randomly distributed, purely repulsive scattering centers, known as Lorentz models, are studied in the low energy limit [1]. Using a functional integral representation and a version of the “replica trick”, we have found in the D-dimensional system the density of electronic levels of the form

$\text{n(E)=b}{}_0\text{Eγ}\text{exp}\text{(?b}{}_1\text{E}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?(</mtext><mtext>D</mtext><mtext>2</mtext><mtext>)</mtext>}}\text{+b}{}_2\text{E}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?(</mtext><mtext>D</mtext><mtext>2</mtext><mtext>)+1</mtext>}}\text{+·+b}{}_{\mathrm{D}}\text{E}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?(</mtext><mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext><mtext>)</mtext>}}\text{)(1+O(}\text{E}\text{))}$

and the constants b₀, b₁,…, b_D, and γ have been determined.     

Upper bounds on the fine structure constant and on nucleon magnetic moments in terms of Compton scattering cross sections

We derive and compare with experimental data the bound

$\text{α??λm}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>p</mtext>}}\text{?m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>p</mtext>}}\text{ν}{}^2{}_1\text{2π}{}^2\text{∫}\text{ν}{}_0\text{∞}\text{d}\text{ν′σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>tot</mtext>}}\text{(ν′)}\text{(ν′}{}^2\text{+ν}{}^2{}_1\text{)}\text{+2πm}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>p</mtext>}}\text{∫}\text{ν}{}_0\text{∞}\text{ν′}{}^2\text{d}\text{ν′σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>tot</mtext>}}\text{(ν′)}\text{(ν′}{}^2\text{+ν}{}^2{}_1\text{){ν′}{}^2\text{(}\text{d}\text{σ}\text{d}\text{t)}{}_0\text{+πλ}{}^2\text{+2ν′|λ|}\text{π}\text{(}\text{d}\text{σ}\text{d}\text{t)}{}_0\text{?}\text{σ}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>tot</mtext>}}\text{16π}\text{}}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$

, where α is the fine-structure constant, m_p the proton mass, ν₀ the photo-pion production threshold, σ_tot and $\text{(}\text{d}\text{σ}\text{d}\text{t}\text{)}{}_0$ are the unpolarized total hadronic photo-absorption cross section on protons and the unpolarized forward differential cross section for proton Compton scattering at photon-lab energy ν′, and λ and ν₁ are any real numbers. We derive similar bounds on proton and neutron magnetic moments.     

Nonrelativistic distorted wave born approximation predictions for 500 MeV (p, p') spin-rotation observables

We discuss couplings of scalar gluonium σ on the basis of the low energy theorems of broken chiral symmetry and the anomalous trace of the energy—momentum tensor, implemented using a phenomenological lagrangian. Taking the ITEP value of the gluon consensate as input, we find $\text{Γ(σ → ππ) ? 0.6}\text{GeV}\text{× (}\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{\sigma }}\text{1}\text{GeV}\text{)}{}^5$ and $\text{Γ(σ → γγ) ? 90}\text{eV}\text{× (}\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{\sigma }}\text{1}\text{GeV}\text{)}{}^5$, while m_σ is undetermined. These results suggest that if the scalar gluonium mass is above 1 GeV, it is probably unobservably wide, while production in γγ collisions is probably too small to be detectable if m_σ < 1.5 GeV. We comment on the observability of J/ψ → σ + γ and on the relevance of our results to other gluonia.     

Study of the photon spectrum in the decay KS0→π+π−γ

The branching ratio $\text{Λ(}\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>S</mtext>}}{}^0\text{→π}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{π}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{γ)}\text{Λ(}\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>S</mtext>}}{}^0\text{→π}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{π}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{)}$ has been determined to be (2.68±0.15)×10^?3 for photon energies $\text{E}{}_{\mathrm{\gamma }}{}^1$ greater than 50 MeV in the K_S⁰ rest frame. The decay K_S⁰→π⁺π^?γ is found to be dominated by the internal bremsstrahlung transition. The branching rato of a possible direct transition is found to be less than 0.06 × 10^?3 at 90% confidence level for $\text{E}{}_{\mathrm{\gamma }}{}^1\text{> 50}\text{MeV}$.     

Extending the QCD leading logs up to reggeon field theory

The deep inelastic structure function D(ω, q²) is calculated in the leading log approximation for $\text{(}\text{Nβ}{}_2\text{π}{}^2\text{)α}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>S</mtext>}}\text{(q}{}_0{}^2\text{) 1}\text{n}\text{ω < 0.84 1}\text{n}\text{(}\text{1}\text{α}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>S</mtext>}}\text{(q}{}^2\text{))}$. For larger ω up to ( the influence of reggeon cuts proves to slow down the growth of the structure function. A reggeon diagram technique is developed, and D is calculated up to a pre-exponent O(1), leading to D(ω, q²) ∝ q² for $\text{(}\text{Nβ}{}_2\text{π}{}^2\text{)α}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>S</mtext>}}\text{(q}{}^2{}_0\text{) 1}\text{n}\text{ω ? 0.42}\text{α}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>S</mtext>}}\text{(q}{}_0{}^2\text{)}\text{α}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>S</mtext>}}{}^2\text{(q}{}^2\text{)}$. By assuming the reggeon diagrams when ω is still greater, one can expect to obtain a strong coupling behaviour: D(ω, q²) ∝ q²(ln ω)^η (η <2).     

A note on the momentum distribution function for an electron gas

The one-electron momentum distribution function $\text{〈a}{}_{\mathrm{k\sigma }}{}^2\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{k\sigma }}\text{〉}$ for an electron gas is investigated by a diagrammatic analysis of perturbation theory. It is shown that $\text{〈a}{}_{\mathrm{k\sigma }}{}^2\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{k\sigma }}\text{〉}$ has the following exact asymptotic form for large k (k ? p_F; p_F, the Fermi momentum): $\text{〈a}{}_{\mathrm{k\sigma }}{}^2\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{k\sigma }}\text{〉 =}\text{4}\text{9}\text{(}\text{αr}{}_{\mathrm{s}}\text{π}\text{)}{}^2\text{×(}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>F</mtext>}}{}^8\text{k}{}^8\text{) g?(0) + ?}$, where g?(0) is the zero-distance value of the spin-up-spin-down pair correlation function. The physical implications of the above asymptotic form are discussed.
