Electric Dipole Moment Function of the OH Molecule

The electric dipole moment function of the OH radical in the ground electronic state is constructed for internuclear distances R [0, ]. The electric dipole moment function is represented as a piecewise continuous function satisfying physically exact asymptotes and experimental values of the electric dipole moment and its derivatives for equilibrium positions of nuclei of the radical. The Padé form for the electric dipole moment function of the OH radical is also approximated. Electric dipole moment functions obtained are compared with the results of ab initio calculations.     

Implications of the precision data for very light Higgs Boson scenarios in 2HDM(II)

We present an up-to-date analysis of the constraints the precision data impose on the (CP-conserving) Two Higgs Doublet Model of type II with emphasis on the possible existence of very light neutral (pseudo)scalar Higgs boson with mass below 20–30 GeV. We show that even in the presence of such light particles, the 2HDM(II) can describe the electroweak data with the precision comparable to that given by the SM. Particularly interesting lower limits on the mass of the lighter neutral CP-even scalar are obtained in the scenario with light CP-odd Higgs boson and large .

Yukawa coupling corrections to the decay H^+ \to W^+ A^0

We compute the fermionic radiative contributions to the decay in the framework of models with two Higgs doublets (2HDM), for the case of an on-shell and off-shell W. We show that, in the majority of the cases, current measurements of the parameter suggest and such decays could invalidate current charged Higgs searches or aid detection in the region . We find that the radiative corrections may approach 50% for small values of . Received: 22 April 1999 / Published online: 10 December 1999     

Strong <Emphasis Type="Italic">CP</Emphasis> violation and the neutron electric dipole form factor

We calculate the neutron electric dipole form factor induced by the CP-violating θ term of QCD within a perturbative chiral quark model which includes pion and kaon clouds. On this basis, we derive the neutron electric dipole moment and the electron—neutron Schiff moment. From the existing experimental upper limits on the neutron electric dipole moment, we extract constraints on the θ parameter and compare our results with other approaches.

Near threshold photoionization of excited alkali atoms Ak(np) (Ak = Na, K, Rb, Cs; n = 3-6)

The effect of the polarization of the atomic core by the outer electron on near threshold photoionization of excited alkali atoms Ak(np) (Ak = Na-Cs; n=3-6) is investigated. Partial and total cross-sections for photo-ionization of the np-electron were computed utilizing the configuration interaction technique with Pauli-Fock atomic orbitals (CIPF) and including the long range core polarization potential (CP). To calculate the core polarization potential the variational principle is applied. Comparison with previous theoretical results and with available experimental data is made for the total cross-section , for the electron angular distribution parameter , for the ratio of the reduced electric dipole matrix elements and for the phase shift difference , associated with the d-wave and s-wave continua, respectively. In the comparison, new experimental results for , , and , measured for laser-excited, polarized ³⁹K(4p _3/2) atoms, have been included.

CP-violating top quark couplings at future linear $$e^+e^-$$ colliders

We study the potential of future lepton colliders to probe violation of the CP symmetry in the top quark sector. In certain extensions of the Standard Model, such as the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM), sizeable anomalous top quark dipole moments can arise, which may be revealed by a precise measurement of top quark pair production. We present results from detailed Monte Carlo studies for the ILC at \(500 \hbox { GeV}\) and CLIC at \(380 \hbox { GeV}\) and use parton-level simulations to explore the potential of high-energy operation. We find that precise measurements in \(e^+e^- \rightarrow t\bar{t}\) production with subsequent decay to lepton plus jets final states can provide sufficient sensitivity to detect Higgs-boson-induced CP violation in a viable two-Higgs-doublet model. The potential of a linear \(e^+e^-\) collider to detect CP-violating electric and weak dipole form factors of the top quark exceeds the prospects of the HL-LHC by over an order of magnitude.

Analytical expressions are obtained for the angular distributions and spin asymmetries of the processes of elastic electromagnetic and electroweak scattering of high energy electrons on polarized/unpolarized proton target with account of C-, P- and T/CP-invariance violating anapole and electric dipole moments, as well as neutral weak electric, magnetic and axial form factors of the proton. Behavior of the P- and T- odd spin asymmetries is studied in dependence of the electron’s energy and scattering angle and proton form factors parameters.

Electric dipole moments of charged leptons in the split fermion scenario in the two Higgs doublet model

We predict the charged lepton electric dipole moments in the split fermion scenario in the framework of the two Higgs doublet model. We observe that the numerical value of the muon (tau) electric dipole moment is of the order of the magnitude of 10^-22 e cm (10^-20 e cm) and there is an enhancement in the case of two extra dimensions, especially for the tau lepton electric dipole moment.

Radiation patterns of electric dipole antenna in the presence of a biisotropic sphere

Analytic expressions of the dyadic Green's function of an arbitrary electric current source embedded in a general biisotropic sphere are presented at first, and the radiation characteristics of an electric dipole antenna placed on the surface of a biisotropic sphere lens are examined. The effects of the electric-and the magnetic-coefficients ( _e and _m ) of biisotropic medium on the radiation patterns of electric dipole antenna are investigated in detail.     

Sensitivity of the pQCD deuteron structure to the nucleon form factors

We discuss the applicability of pQCD to the elastic scattering of electrons on protons and deuterons. We analyze the Q²-dependence of the reduced deuteron form factor, taking into account the recent data on the electric proton form factor and we find that the value of the QCD-scale parameter Λ differs essentially from the value Λ = 0.1 GeV, previously found using the dipole parametrization of the electromagnetic nucleon form factors G_E and G_M. Moreover, the predicted scaling behavior of the reduced deuteron form factor cannot be recovered in the Dirac and Pauli representations for the nucleon electromagnetic form factors.

Pre-equilibrium dipole excitation and γ-ray fragment angular correlation in the 32S +74Ge reaction

We report on the results obtained from the study of the ³²S +⁷⁴Ge deep inelastic reaction at incident energy E= 320 MeV. High-energy γ-rays were detected in an array of 6 seven-pack BaF₂ clusters. Coincidence with complex fragments detected in 12 three-stage telescopes ensured the selection of peripheral reaction events. In order to investigate the pre-equilibrium dipole strength excitation two independent analyses were performed. In the first analysis the energy spectra of the γ-rays were evaluated in the statistical model framework while in the second one the γ-ray fragment angular correlation with respect to the nuclear spin vector of the composite system was studied. Both methods indicate the excitation of dipole strength in the highly deformed dinucleus and provide dipole resonance parameter sets that are in good agreement with each other.

Analytic expressions for cross sections and spin asymmetries characterizing processes of elastic weak, electromagnetic, and electroweak scattering of a neutrino (antineutrino) having electromagnetic moments on a polarized or an unpolarized proton target were obtained with allowance for the C-, P-, and T/CP-violating anapole and electric dipole moments and the neutral weak, electric, magnetic, and axial form factors of the proton, and these expressions were analyzed. The behavior of spin asymmetries was studied versus the energy and form-factor parameters.     

Editorial

Using coupled cluster singles and doubles linear response theory and the d-aug-cc-pVTZ basis set extended with a 3s3p2d1f1g set of midbond functions, the interaction induced electric dipole polarisability surface of the CO–Ar van der Waals complex is computed. Combining this surface with accurate intermolecular potential energy and electric dipole surfaces, the pressure and dielectric second virial coefficients of the complex are calculated by a classical statistical approach. Excellent agreement with experimental results (to within the experimental error bars) is obtained for the pressure second virial coefficient over a range of temperatures. No previous experimental or theoretical investigations have been carried out for the dielectric second virial coefficient, B _ε(T), which is estimated to be about 1.9 cm⁶ mol^??1 at room temperature. This value results from a balance of terms due to the interaction induced electric dipole polarisability (predominant at high temperatures) and orientational electric dipole contributions.     

Nucleon electromagnetic form factors in a quark–gluon core model

We study the nucleon electromagnetic form factors in a quark–gluon core model framework, which can be viewed as an extension of the Isgur–Karl model of baryons. Using this picture we derive nucleon electromagnetic dipole form factors at low Q ² and the deviation from the dipole form at high Q ², that are consistent with the existing experimental data.     

Signatures of chiral dynamics in the nucleon to Delta transition⋆

Utilizing the methods of chiral effective field theory we present an analysis of the electromagnetic NΔ-transition current in the framework of the non-relativistic “small scale expansion” (SSE) to leading-one-loop order. We discuss the momentum dependence of the magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole and Coulomb quadrupole transition form factors up to a momentum transfer of Q² < 0.3GeV^2. Particular emphasis is put on the identification of the role of chiral dynamics in this transition. Our analysis indicates that there is indeed non-trivial momentum dependence in the two quadrupole form factors at small Q² < 0.15GeV^2 arising from long-distance pion physics, leading, for example, to negative radii in the (real part of the) quadrupole transition form factors. We compare our results with the EMR(Q²) and CMR(Q²) multipole ratios from pion-electroproduction experiments and find a remarkable agreement up to four-momentum transfer of Q² ≈ 0.3GeV^2. Finally, we discuss the chiral extrapolation of the three transition form factors at Q² = 0, identifying rapid changes in the (real part of the) quark mass dependence of the quadrupole transition moments for pion masses below 200MeV, which arise again from long-distance pion dynamics. Our findings indicate that dipole extrapolation methods currently used in lattice QCD analyses of baryon form factors are not applicable for the chiral extrapolation of NΔ quadrupole transition form factors.     

Multiphoton transitions for the harmonic oscillator

2- and 3-photon electric dipole transitions for the harmonic oscillator are shown to have zero intensity. This is extended to the general cases of Δv?=?n and Δv?=?n???2 for n-photon transitions. Although not proved in general, it seems likely that all multiphoton transition moments vanish. This suggests that electric dipole multiphoton transition intensity is due to anharmonicity.     

LiAr, LiKr and LiXe excimers: Photochemical formation of the - bands

We investigated the photochemical formation of lithium-rare-gas excimers in the 3 state through the reaction of Li₂(2(C)) and the ground-state rare-gas atom. Lithium-rare-gas vapor mixture was prepared in the heat-pipe oven. We populated the 2(C)state of the Li₂ molecule using the XeCl excimer laser wavelength at 308 nm or the PTP dye laser wavelength at about 335 nm. The 3-1 transitions were observed with peaks at 414, 420 and 435 nm for LiAr, LiKr and LiXe, respectively. We estimated thermally averaged rate constants for these photochemical reactions, which are cm³s^-1 for LiAr, cm ³ s^-1 for LiKr and cm³s^-1 for LiXe. Ab initio potential-energy curves and transition dipole moments for LiKr were calculated applying the SCF MRDCI method. Available data for the LiAr and LiKr excimers are presented, including potential-energy curves, electronic transition dipole moments, and spectroscopic constants. Possible photochemical formation of these molecules in the excited states is discussed. We performed the quantum-mechanical spectral simulations of the LiAr and LiKr 3-1 transitions, using ab initio potential-energy curves.

Constraining the anisotropy of the Universe with the Pantheon supernovae sample

We test the possible dipole anisotropy of the Finslerian cosmological model and the other three dipole-modulated cosmological models, i.e. the dipole-modulated ΛCDM, wCDM and Chevallier–Polarski–Linder (CPL) models, by using the recently released Pantheon sample of SNe Ia. The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is used to explore the whole parameter space. We find that the dipole anisotropy is very weak in all cosmological models used. Although the dipole amplitudes of four cosmological models are consistent with zero within the \begin{document}$1\sigma$\end{document} uncertainty, the dipole directions are close to the axial direction of the plane of the SDSS subsample in Pantheon. This may imply that the weak dipole anisotropy in the Pantheon sample originates from the inhomogeneous distribution of the SDSS subsample. A more homogeneous distribution of SNe Ia is necessary to constrain the cosmic anisotropy.
