The resonance interaction of relativistic charged particle and circularly polarized electromagnetic wave

The resonance interaction of a relativistic charged particle in a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave traveling along a uniform magnetic field is considered. The position, momentum and energy of the particle are presented analytically as functions of a free parameter. The results may be of importance for plasma heating, microwave generation or particle acceleration.     

Propagation of a relativistic spinning particle in the field of a traveling wave of current

We express the Bargman—Michel—Telegdi equation in the Hamiltonian form and find the solution for a charged particle propagating in the electromagnetic field of a traveling wave of current in an axially symmetric electrodynamic system.     

Symbolic dynamics in investigation of quaternionic Julia sets

We focus our attention on the dynamics of the simplest quaternionic quadratic function f_Q(X) = X² + Q. The discussion can be reduced to a complex parameter Q and a three dimensional subspace. The images of quaternionic Julia sets suggest a natural decomposition. We find that it can be derived from a certain symbolic dynamics giving rise to fractal fibrations. The starting point are the equators and their preimages. If the parameter Q is real, fibrations are trivial, obtained by rotation of the complex Julia set. Repeating itineraries, on the other hand, define curves connecting periodic points.     

Global dynamics of a relativistic charged plasma in a Bianchi type I space–time

Global existence is proved in the case of a positive cosmological constant in the Einstein equations and asymptotic behavior is investigated.     

Regular and chaotic charged particle dynamics in low frequency waves and role of separatrix crossings

We consider interaction of charged particles with an electromagnetic (electrostatic) low frequency wave propagating perpendicular to a uniform background magnetic field. The effects of particle trapping by the wave and further acceleration of a surfatron type are discussed in details. Method for this analysis based on the adiabatic theory of separatrix crossing is used. It is shown that particle can unlimitedly accelerate in the trapping in electromagnetic waves and energy of particle does not increase for the system with electrostatic wave.     

A relativistic particle in the liouville field

We investigate a model for a relativistic particle in the Liouville field. The model is SL(2, R)/Z₂ invariant. The corresponding dynamic integrals describe the whole set of classical trajectories. These integrals are used for the gauge-invariant Hamiltonian reduction. We propose a new scheme for quantizing the reduced system. The quantum system obtained reproduces the classical symmetry. We discuss the physical aspects of the model. Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 118, No. 2, pp. 229–247, February, 1999.     

Multifractality in relativistic charged particles produced at SPS energies

The multifractal analysis of relativistic shower particles produced in ³²S–emulsion interactions at 200 AGeV has been investigated using the method of modified multifractal moments, G_q, in pseudo-rapidity space. The anomalous fractal dimension, d_q, and generalized fractal dimensions, D_q, are determined for the present data for different order of moment. The experimental data reflects multifractal geometry in a multipion production process. The downward concave shape of the multifractal spectral function, f(α_q), gives an evidence for self-similar cascade mechanism. The multifractal specific heat has also been evaluated for the present data using the generalized fractal dimensions, D_q. We compared our experimental results with those obtained from simulated events of the Lund Monte Carlo Code FRITIOF and uncorrelated Monte Carlo events, (MC-RAND) generated randomly in pseudorapidity space based on the assumption of independent emission of particles. The experimental data on multifractality has been found to exhibit a remarkable proximity to the analogous data obtained from the FRITIOF code and the uncorrelated Monte Carlo events.     

A model of relativistic dynamics

A model of relativistic dynamics is proposed for classical (nonquantum) multiparticle systems within the Lagrangian formalism on the space of world lines.     

A new formulation of relativistic quantum field theory

Quantum field theory is reformulated in sucha manner that a complete set of ocillators for modes with both positive and negative energies are introduced. The theory leads to the proper connection between spin and statistics as in the standard formulation, but it implements the time reversal transformation and the TCP transformation as linear unitary transformations. Negative energy particles in the initial states are identified with antiparticles in the final state with reversed motion (andvice versa) as far as scattering amplitudes are concerned. A covariant perturbation theory is developed which yields scattering amplitudes which are essentially the same as in the usual theory.     

Two-point boundary value problems in relativistic dynamics

For gyro systems of relativistic type, we obtain solvability conditions for the two-point boundary value problem. We use the geodesic modeling method, in which the original problem is reduced to studying the existence of isotropic geodesic curves of the Kaluts-O. Klein Lorentz metric joining two fibers of a bundle over the configuration manifold of the system. As an example, we consider problems on the motion of charged test particles in an arbitrary electromagnetic field and in the outer Reissner-Nordstrem space-time in the field of a charged black hole and some external electromagnetic field.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 59, No. 3, pp. 437–449, March, 1996.This research was partially supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research under grant No. 94-01-00492a and by the International Science Foundation under grant No. NP4000.     

Allowed regions in the problem concerning dynamics of a charged particle in a superposition of dipole and uniform magnetic fields

The motion of charged particles in the Earth’s magnetic field has been of interest to mathematicians and physicists in connection with the study of the polar aurora and cosmic rays. In 1907, Norwegian mathematician Stromer gave the mathematical formulation of this problem. It became the problem of great importance with the discovery of the Van Allen radiation. As is known, the Earth’s magnetic field can be considered approximately as a superposition of dipole and uniform magnetic fields, and the dipole’s magnetic moment is either parallel or antiparallel to the induction of the uniform field. Thus, the problem concerning the dynamics of the charged particle in the magnetic field of the Earth is reduced to that of charged particle dynamics in the composed field. The paper is devoted to the construction and investigation of the allowed regions in a superposition of dipole and uniform magnetic fields for positive values of Stormer’s constant γ and the same orientation of magnetic moment and uniform field.     

Peculiarities of relativistic particle evolution in classical scalar field theory

The interaction of particles in the model of a scalar field linearly coupled with the source is demonstrated to have the following peculiarities. First, the particles are attracted to one another at large interparticle distances and are repelled at small. Second, in the process of evolution of the system of particles, its components gain the maximum possible velocity, the velocity of light. Third, after the head-on collision of two identical particles, the pumping effect may probably arise. This effect consists of the fact that after experiencing a few oscillations between the walls of a squeezing potential well, the particles fly out of the finite motion region to the region of infinite motion. Fourth, on the trajectory of the interacting particles, a plateau region of motion with a high and relatively constant velocity appears.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 109, No. 3, pp. 464–473, December, 1996.     

A charged composite particle in a constant electric field

We consider the motion of a composite charged particle in a constant electric field. Using the billiard formalism, we establish exact laws of motion for such a particle with a small number of internal degrees of freedom and propose using a generalized Schwarz principle to straighten trajectories in the field presence. Within the billiard formalism, we obtain regimes of motion of a composite particle with two internal degrees of freedom in a constant field.     

Hamiltonian formulation of generalized quantum dynamics

The Hamiltonian formulation of the usual complex quantum mechanics in the theory of generalized quantum dynamics is discussed. After the total trace Lagrangian, total trace Hamiltonian and two kinds of Poisson brackets are introduced, both the equations of motion of some total trace functionals which are expressed by total trace Poisson brackets and the equations of motion of some operators which are expressed by the without-total-trace Poisson brackets are obtained. Then a set of basic equations of motion of the usual complex quantum mechanics are obtained, which are also expressed by the Poisson brackets and total trace Hamiltonian in the generalized quantum dynamics. The set of equations of motion are consistent with the corresponding Heisenberg equations. Project supported by Prof. T.D.
