Weak four-fermion interaction in terms of SU(3) invariants. II

A lepton octet is constructed by analogy with the baryon octet by the substitution p⁺N ₁e⁺,⁺₁ é⁺,^-₂^-, ^- N ₂^-, where ₁, ₂,N ₁,N ₂ are arbitrary constants. The neutral components are replaced by a linear sum of the electron and muon neutrinos with arbitrary coefficients. The constants are determined from the system of general conditions (normalization, absence of crossed terms of the type ( etc.). As a result, the lepton octet is determined to within a single constant, and this is shown to be identical with the Cabibbo angle. Calculations are also made of the weak decays of baryons of the octet in the case of both charged and neutral currents. In the case of charged currents, the results agree with Cabibbo's theory. Calculations are also made of the lepton-lepton weak interactions and the ratios of the corresponding constants are determined. The ratios are in qualitative agreement with the existing experimental data.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 51–56, January, 1976.     

Parametric excitation of spherical modes in ferromagnetic spheres by perpendicular and parallel pumping

The fine structures of the threshold of subsidiary absorption and parallel pumping, observed on highly polished YIG spheres in 1975 by W. Jantz et al., are discussed with a model which uses instead of plane spin-waves the true modes regarding the shape of the sphere. These spherical modes are magnetostatic modes taking additionally the exchange interaction into account. At the closely spaced resonances of the fine structure of parallel pumping single spherical modes with angular-momentum quantum numberm=0 are excited, whereas at the resonances of subsidiary absorption pairs of spherical modes with big angular-momentum quantum numbers (|m|1000) satisfying the selection rulem+m=1 are excited. The analysis of the fine structure of subsidiary absorption shows that in regimes where the plane wave approximation predicts the excitation of spin-waves with formalk0, modes withk1.5·10⁵ cm^–1 have the lowest threshold. This discrepancy is discussed with the effect of surface pit scattering, which increases the threshold of modes withk < 2/_pit, where _pit is a typical size of the surface pits. Consequently modes withk22/_pit instead ofk0 have the lowest threshold.     

The Gelfand-Levitan equation and its application to the scattering of neutrons on protons

The Gelfand-Levitan equation for the kernelP(r, r) (withrr) is formulated and then applied for determining the scattering potential in the scattering of slow neutrons on protons (for the case when the dependence of the nuclear forces on the spins can be neglected and onlys-scattering need be considered). The potentials obtained are the same as the Bargmann ones, found by a different method.

Minimum action solutions of some vector field equations

The system of equations studied in this paper is –u _i =g ⁱ (u) on ^d ,d2, withu: ^{d n} andg ⁱ (u)=G/u _i . Associated with this system is the action,S(u)={1/2|u|²–G(u)}. Under appropriate conditions onG (which differ ford=2 andd3) it is proved that the system has a solution,u 0, of finite action and that this solution also minimizes the action within the class {v is a solution,v has finite action,v 0}.Work partially supported by U.S. National Science Foundation Grant PHY-81-16101-A02     

Dynamic structure factor in a random diffusion model

Let {X _t:0} denote random walk in the random waiting time model, i.e., simple random walk with jump ratew ^–1(X _t), where {w(x):x^d} is an i.i.d. random field. We show that (under some mild conditions) theintermediate scattering function F(q,t)=E ₀ (q^d) is completely monotonic int (E ₀ denotes double expectation w.r.t. walk and field). We also show that thedynamic structure factor S(q, w)=2 ₀ cos(t)F(q, t) exists for 0 and is strictly positive. Ind=1, 2 it diverges as 1/||^1/2, resp. –ln(||), in the limit 0; ind3 its limit value is strictly larger than expected from hydrodynamics. This and further results support the conclusion that the hydrodynamic region is limited to smallq and small such that ||D |q|², whereD is the diffusion constant.     

Large-Deviation Principle for One-Dimensional Vector Spin Models with Kac Potentials

We consider the one-dimensional planar rotator and classical Heisenberg models with a ferromagnetic Kac potential J (r)=J(yr), J with compact support. Below the Lebowitz-Penrose critical temperature the limit (mean-field) theory exhibits a phase transition with a continuum of equilibrium states, indexed by the magnetization vectors m s, s any unit vector and m the Curie–Weiss spontaneous magnetization. We prove a large-deviation principle for the associated Gibbs measures. Then we study the system in the limit 0 below the above critical temperature. We prove that the norm of the empirical spin average in blocks of order ^–1 converges to m , uniformly in intervals of order ^–p , for any p 1. We also give a lower bound to the scale on which the change of phase occurs, by showing that the empirical spin average is approximately constant on intervals having length of order ^-1-with (0,1) small enough.     

Single crystal diffraction patterns of germanium. Part II

The rocking curves of Ge (111), (220), (333) for CuK ₁ radiation were measured by means of the triple-crystal diffractometer. Perfect silicon single crystals, cut parallel to the (111) plane were used in the monochromator part of the triple-crystal diffractometer. The results prove the suitability of such a monochromator for studying diffraction patterns.

Systematic study of muon transfer to sulphur dioxide

In a systematic study of the transfer process to sulphur dioxide, in seven different H₂ + SO₂ gas mixtures, the time spectra of the muonic sulphur X-rays yield muon transfer rates to the SO₂ molecule, deduced from the lifetimes of the p atoms, which agree all well with each other. The muonic oxygen time spectra show an additional structure as if p atoms of another kind were present. Reduced transfer rates_O are reproducible if one uses the model of ephemeral p atoms. The intensity ratios between the different kinds of p atoms are also discussed in the framework of this model and the one of black and white p atoms.     

Stochastic linear maps and transition probability

Some aspects of the transition probability P(, ) between states , on unital ^*-algebras are discussed. It is shown that P increases under the action of any stochastic linear map T, i.e., P(T, T)P(, ). Some properties of P are derived in starting from a recently-proved characterization of the quantity in question.     

Zur Temperaturabhängigkeit einiger Kenngrössen der Verfestigungskurven von Zinkeinkristallen

Zusammenfassung Es werden Ergebnisse beschrieben über die Temperaturabhängigkeit: der kritischen Schubspannung ₀, des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _A , im BereichA der Verfestigungskurve; des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _B im BereichB, der Längea _A des BereichsA und der Schubspannung _A am Ende des BereichsA. Die kritische Schubspannung wächst im Temperaturbereich 225–344°K linear mit abnehmender Temperatur. Der Temperaturverlauf des Verfestigungskoeffizienten _A , stimmt überein mit älteren Messungen an h.k.p. Metallen. Ähnlich verhält sich der Verfestigungskoeffizient _B . Die Schubspannung am Ende des BereichsA wird durch thermisch aktivierte Vorgänge beeinflußt. Der BereichA verkürzt sich im Temperaturbereich 0–85°C linear mit zunehmender Temperatur. Temperaturwechselversuche zeigen, daß im BereichB thermisch irreversible Änderungen in der Versetzungsstruktur auftreten.

Branched polymers in a wedge geometry in three dimensions

We investigate the statistical and dimensional properties of uniform star polymers attached by the branching vertex of degreef in a wedge geometry in three dimensions and described by the wedge angles and. We show that the growth constant is equal to ^f , where is the self-avoiding walk limit. Thef and (, ) dependences of the corresponding critical exponent _f (, ) are studied using Monte Carlo techniques. In the casef=1, our results are compared with existing predictions obtained from series expansion and renormalization group methods. We have also estimated the amplitudes for the mean square radius of gyration and the mean square end-to-end branch length. Our results for the ratio of the mean square radius of gyration of anf-star to that of a linear polymer of the same degree of polymerization attached in a similar wedge, and the analogous ratio for the mean square end-to-end branch length, are consistent with these ratios being lattice-independent quantities.     

A note on the Watanabe theory of weak interactions

It is shown that according to the Watanabe theory of weak interactions a resonant scattering of electrons by protons must take place. The resonant energy depends on the massm _B of the intermediate boson. Form _B=2300m _e this energy is about 213 MeV in the centre of the mass system (c. m. s.). The energy width at resonance is 1·4 MeV.

Diffusion in a one-dimensional gas of hard point particles

We simulate the classical diffusion of a particle of massM in an infinite one-dimensional system of hard point particles of massm in equilibrium. Each computer run corresponds to about 10⁸ collisions of the diffusive particle. We find that (t) 1/t fort large enough, and a crossover from an M m regime where=2 to=3 forM=m. The diffusion constant has a sharp maximum atM=m. We study moments x(t)² and x(t)⁴, and examine the behavior ofq ² (t)=x(t)⁴/3x(t)²². We find thatq(t)1 (consistent with a normal distribution) in theM limit (for all timest) and in the t limit for allM.

Non-smoothness of event horizons of Robinson-Trautman black holes

It is shown that generic small data Robinson-Trautman space-times cannot beC ¹²³ extended beyond the r=2m Schwarzschild-like event horizon. This implies that an observer living in such a space-time can determine by local measurements whether or not he has crossed the event-horizon of the black-hole.     

Interacting spinor and scalar fields: Exact self-consistent solutions in Bianci I space

Exact self-consistent solutions of the equations that describe a system of interacting spinor and massless scalar fields with the interaction Lagrangian L_int=_,^,(S), where (S) is an arbitrary function of the invariant S=, are obtained in Bianci I space. The possibility of excluding the initial singularity is studied for the case of a power-law function (S), and isotropic expansion of the space as t is established.Russian University of International Amity.

The connection between low-gradient form of the positive column in oxygen and moving striations

The method of sliding photomultipliers was used to study the connection between two forms of the positive column in oxygen — the so-called low-gradientT-form and the highgradientH-form — and the presence of moving striations in the positive column. It was shown that in theT-form of a positive column striations are always present which move from the cathode to anode with a velocity of several thousand metres/sec. The highgradient form of theH-positive column, on the other hand, is not striated. The non-single-valuedness of the value of the longitudinal electric field in a discharge in oxygen is thus explained by the presence or absence of phenomena of a time variable character.

The semi-conducting properties of CdSnAs2

The paper gives the results of measuring the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity(T), the Hall coefficientR _H (T) and the magnetic susceptibility(T) forn-type CdSnAs₂. The effective mass of the electrons was determined by analysis of the measured dependences on the basis of the simple theory for an isotropic non-degenerate semi-conductor. It was found to bem _n /m ₀=2×10^–2 in the intrinsic region and does not depend on the temperature; the energy gap ise _g ⁰=0·26 eV and the molar susceptibility of the CdSnAs₂ lattice _G ^mol=–112× ×10^–6. The mobility of the electrons in the intrinsic region reaches a value of _n =25 000 cm²V^–1sec^–1 at 500°K and decreases exponentially _n T ^–1.67 with rising temperature. The density of CdSnAs₂ was determined pyknometrically,g9=5·35 g cm^–3. The measurements were made on ann-type polycrystalline sample consisting of crystals a few millimetres in diameter, which at a temperature of 100°K had a free electron concentration ofn _s =6×10¹⁶ cm^–3.

Scaling characteristics of ac conductivity and dielectric function in fractal regime of the metal-insulator transition

An analysis of the ac conductivity _ac(), and the ac dielectric constant, (), of the metal-insulator percolation systems is presented in the critical regime near the transition threshold. It is argued that the polarization and relaxation of the finite fractal metallic clusters play dominant roles in controlling the dynamic response of the system on both sides of the threshold. The relaxation time constant of a fractal cluster is shown to scale with its size as withd _t = 4 – 2d +d _c + /, whered is tge Euclidean dimension, andd _c , , and are the scaling indices for the charging, the dc conductivity, and the correlation length respectively. The average time dependent response of the system is shown to scale with a new time scale , where is the correlation length and ₀ is a microscopic time constant. It is shown that at frequencies and with /d_t 1, in close agreement with experiments. The effects of the anomalous transport along the infinite cluster and the medium polarizability are also discussed.     

Exponential decay in the stark effect

LetH=–+V+Fx ₁ withV(x ₁,x ) analytic in the first variable andV(x ₁+ia, x ) bounded and decreasing to zero asx for eacha . Let be an eigenvector of –+V with negative eigenvalue. Among our results we show that forF0, (,e ^–H ) decays exponentially at a rate governed by the positions of the resonances ofH. This exponential decay is in marked contrast to conventional atomic resonances for which power law decay is the rule.Research supported by NSF Grant No. MCS 78-00101.     

On the basic laws of reaction kinetics

The paper gives the basic laws necessary and in principle sufficient for constructing a system of differential equations for any reaction kinetic process. A new and more exact formulation of two of the basic laws (the principle of superposition of partial reaction velocities and the Guldberg-Waage law) is made possible by an exact definition of the important quantities of this subject. In conclusion the paper points out the difference between the general form of the differential equations for concentrations of components expressed in moles per unit weight and that for concentrations of components expressed in moles per unit volume.
