The A-dependence of J/ψ-particle inclusive distributions

The differential cross sections $\text{d}\text{σ}\text{d}\text{x}$ and $\text{d}\text{σ}\text{d}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{t}}{}^2$ of inclusive J/ψ production by 43 GeV/c π^? off Be, Cu and W nuclei have been measured. Fitting $\text{d}\text{σ}\text{d}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{t}}{}^2\text{～ A}{}^{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{(p}{}_{\mathrm{t}}{}^2\text{)}$ we observed the increase of α with p_t².     

Temperature dependence of dispersive hopping transport and diffusion in disordered solids

The time- and temperature-dependent drift mobility μ_d for dispersive transients in disordered solids is $\text{μ}{}_{\mathrm{d}}\text{(T,t) =}\text{L}\text{Et}{}_{\mathrm{T}}$ in terms of distance L, field E and transit time t_T. Since current I ∝ tsu?(1?α) for t <_Tand 0<α<1 by Scher-Montroll theory for hopping among localized states, it follows that $\text{μ}{}_{\mathrm{d}}\text{(T) = α[μ}{}_{\mathrm{d}}\text{(T,t)]}{}^{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{(}\text{L}\text{Eτ}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{1?\alpha }}$ where τ≈ 10^?13s is estimated. Further $\text{μ}{}_{\mathrm{d}}\text{(T) ∝ exp (}\text{?Δ}{}_0\text{KT}\text{)}$ and the activation energy Δ₀ is time independent. On this basis Δ for the carbazole polymers is ca. zero, that for a-Se is ca. 0.05 eV, and that for a-As₂Se₃ is 0.35 eV rather than 0.5, 0.3 and 0.6 eV respectively on a phenomenological basis for μ_d(T,t). Trap-controlled hopping transport may be excluded. Time-resolved optical studies of excess carrier recombination supplement mobility measurements in a-Si:H and a-As₂Se₃ as well as other systems. Combined results suggest a dielectric response mechanism in which the time-dependent hopping frequency of localized carriers ν ∝ t^α?1 arises from distortion of the medium at localization sites. This is satisfied by Δ(T,t) = Δ₀+(1?α)KTT ln(t/τ) where τ is the mean initial localization time of the carrier, 10^?13?10^?12s, Δio is the height of the barrier at T, and 0<α<l. Consequently ν = ν₀(t/τ)^α?1 exp(frsol|?Δ₀/KT) which applies also to bimolecular recombination.     

On a least upper bound Tc of superconductors with paramagnetic impurities

We have obtained a least upper bound, $\text{k}{}_{\mathrm{B}}\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{c}}\text{? c(μ}{}^1\text{, t)A}$, on the critical temperature T_c of an isotropic superconductor with paramagnetic impurities described by the scattering matrix t for fixed values of μ¹. We have also obtained the corresponding optimal spectrum $\text{α}{}^2\text{F(m) = Aδ[ω?d(μ}{}^1\text{, A]}$. The numerical results for the functions $\text{c(μ}{}^1\text{, t)}\text{and}\text{d(μ}{}^1\text{, t)}$ are presented for $\text{α}{}^1\text{= 0.1}$ and 0.16 in the form of universal curves representing $\text{c(μ}{}^1\text{, t)}\text{and}\text{d(μ}{}^1\text{, t)}$ as functions of the reduced impurity concentration $\text{t}\text{= t/A}$. We have also established an upper limit to the reduced critical concentration $\text{t}{}_{\mathrm{crit}}$ for an arbitrary shape of α²F(ω)1.     

Surface cyclotron resonance in Si under uniaxial stress

The cyclotron resonance of inversion-layer electrons on (100)p-type Si is found to depend sensitively on an externally applied compressive stress. At low temperatures (T ? 10 K) we observe a considerable increase of the cyclotron mass m¹_c with stress S along the [001] direction. The effect is most strongly observed at low electron densities n_s. For $\text{S～1.5 × 10}{}^9\text{dyne}\text{cm}{}^2$ and n_s～2 × 10¹¹cm^-2 we obtain $\text{m}{}^1{}_{\mathrm{c}}\text{～0.4 m}{}_0$ instead of the expected 0.2m₀. Along with this change of $\text{m}{}^1{}_{\mathrm{c}}$ a strong narrowing of the resonance is noted. Raising the temperature gives an additional n_s- dependent increase of $\text{m}{}^1{}_{\mathrm{c}}$.     

Momentum transfer distributions of some diffractive enhancements in K−p interactions at 14.3 GeV/c

We discuss the structure of the momentum transfer distributions for the diffractive dissociation processes p → nπ⁺, p → Δ⁺⁺π^? and $\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{→}\text{K}{}_{890}{}^{10}\text{π}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$. In the near-threshold mass region a clear break of slope is found around t′KK ～ 0.25 GeV² for the two baryonic channels, whereas no comparable structure is seen for the mesonic system. The $\text{K}\text{→}\text{K}{}^1\text{π}$ differential cross section exhibits a nearly exponential behaviour up to t′_pp ～ 0.6 GeV², falling over three orders of magnitude. The slope variations and breaks are strongly correlated both to the mass region considered and to the decay angle of the fragmentation system.     

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, $\text{R′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.53}\text{A}\text{?}$.     

How to continue the predictions of perturbative QCD from the spacelike region where they are derived to the timelike regime where experiments are performed

The predictions of perturbative QCD are derived in the deep euclidean region, whereas the physical region for most observables is timelike. The confrontation of these predictions with experiment thus necessitates an analytic continuation. This we find introduces large higher order corrections in terms of α_s(|Q²|), the usual choice ofperturbative expansion parameter. These corrections are naturally absorbed by changing to the expansion parameter $\text{a}\text{(Q}{}^2\text{) = |α}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>s</mtext>}}\text{(Q}{}^2\text{)|(}\text{Re}\text{α}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>s</mtext>}}\text{(Q}{}^2\text{)/|α}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>s</mtext>}}\text{(Q}{}^2\text{)|)}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>(n?2)</mtext><mtext>3</mtext>}}$, where α_s(Q²)ⁿ is the leading term in the spacelike region. For the intermediate range of Q² experimentally accessible at present, where $\text{a}\text{(Q}{}^2\text{)}$ is significantly smaller than α_s(|Q²|), we find the resulting phenomenology is improved. In particular, we demonstrate how the values of $\text{Λ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>MS</mtext>}}$ obtained from analyses of quarkonium decays become consistent.     

Glueball spectroscopy from strong coupling expansions in hamiltonian lattice QCD

Masses of all the glueballs which are created by 6- or 7-link operators are calculated to order g^?8 in pure SU(3) hamiltonian lattice gauge theory. Several low-lying states are found with masses $\text{m(0}{}^{\mathrm{++1}}\text{)～ 1.4 m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>s</mtext>}}\text{, m(0}{}^{\mathrm{++7}}\text{) ～ 1.7 m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>s</mtext>}}$ (¹ and ⁷ stand for radial excitations and m_s is the mass of the lowest 0⁺⁺ state), . These values are obtained at the point g^?2 ? 0.8, which lies near the scaling region.     

Strong coupled-channels effects in the 9Be(α, t)10B reaction

Differential cross sections were measured for the reactions ${}^9\text{Be}\text{(α, α')}{}^9\text{Be}\text{,}{}^9\text{Be}\text{(α,}\text{t}\text{)}{}^{10}\text{B and}{}^9\text{Be}\text{(α,}{}^3\text{He}\text{)}{}^{10}\text{B at}\text{E}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{= 65}\text{MeV}$ for angles ranging from θ_lab = 6° to 48°. Optical-model analysis was performed for elastic α-scattering from ⁹Be at E_α = 48, 65 and 104 MeV, and DWBA and CC calculations were done for the inelastic α-scattering at E_α = 65 MeV. DWBA calculations for the ⁹Be(α, ³He) reactions do not fit the transfer data so well and extracted spectroscopic factors are in disagreement with those of Cohen and Kurath and with values obtained from other reactions. Full CRC calculations assuming a band structure for the low-lying states of ¹⁰B and employing a modified set of Cohen and Kurath spectroscopic factors yield globally better fits both in shape and in absolute cross section for differential cross sections to low-lying states in ¹⁰B obtained in ⁹Be(α, t)¹⁰B at $\text{E}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{= 65}\text{MeV and}{}^9\text{Be}\text{(}{}^3\text{He, d}\text{)}{}^{10}\text{B at}\text{E}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>d</mtext>}}\text{= 17}\text{MeV}$. In general, strong coupled-channel effects mainly affecting the distorted waves are observed both in entrance and exit channels.     

Evidence for a narrow peak in Ksoπ±π+π- at 2.6 gev in 12 gev/cpp interactions

We report the evidence for a narrow charged peak (5.5 s.d.), which we suggest calling the I, in the 6-prong-V⁰ topology of $\text{p}$p interactions at 12 GeV/c. The mass, widht and the product of cross section σ_I times the branching ratio BR into the final state (K_s^oτ±τ⁺τ^? are found to be: $\text{M}{}_{\mathrm{I}}\text{=2.60 ±}\text{0.01}\text{GeV}\text{/}\text{c}{}^2$, $\text{Γ}{}_{\mathrm{I}}\text{?}\text{0.018}\text{GeV}\text{/}\text{c}{}^2$, σ_I·BR≈20 μbarn     

The nuclear quadrupole interaction in Pr3+:LaF3 — An optical-RF double resonance measurement of the ground electronic state

The nuclear quadrupole hyperfine splittings of Pr³⁺ in LaF₃ have been measured for the ground electronic state using a RF optical resonance technique. A hamiltonian $\text{H}\text{= P[(I}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{z}}\text{?}\text{1}\text{3}\text{I(I+1) + (η/6)(I}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{+}}\text{?I}$²_-)] was fitted to the data with zP=4.185 ± 0.003 MHzandη = 0.105 ± 0.010. Linewidths of 180 kHz were observed.     

Competition cusps in (α, γ) reactions

Absolute cross sections are presented for the reactions ³⁷Cl(α, γ)⁴¹K for 2.90 MeV ≦ E^lab_α ≦ 5.23 MeV, ${}^{62}\text{Ni}\text{(α, γ)}{}^{66}\text{Zn}\text{for}\text{5.07}\text{MeV}\text{≦ E}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}{}^{\mathrm{?2}}\text{lab}\text{≦ 8.64}\text{MeV}\text{,}{}^{62}\text{Ni}\text{(α,}\text{n}\text{)}{}^{65}\text{Zn}$ for energies near the (α, n₀) threshold at $\text{E}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>lab</mtext>}}\text{= 6.90}\text{MeV up to}\text{8.76}\text{MeV}\text{,}{}^{64}\text{Ni}\text{(α, γ)}{}^{68}\text{Zn for}\text{4.50 ≦ E}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>lab</mtext>}}\text{≦ 7.45}\text{MeV}$, and for ⁶⁴Ni(α, n)⁶⁷N from E_α^lab = 5.30 MeV up to E_α = 7.45 MeV. Substantial competition cusps were observed in the excitation function for all three (α, γ) reactions. The data were found to be in reasonable agreement with the predictions of the current versions of global Hauser-Feshbach models used in nucleosynthesis calculations. Including width fluctuation corrections and realistic neutron strength functions generally improves the ability of the models to predict the depth of the (α, γ) competition cusps; the depths of the predicted (α,γ) cusps are insensitive to the degree of isospin mixing. Taken together with studies of competition effects in proton-induced reactions, the present data confirm the importance of width fluctuation and strength function effects, and indicate essentially complete isospin mixing between T^< and T^> states in the compound nucleus.     

Dielectric susceptibility and correlation length of one-dimensional CDW with impurties. II. weak disorder

Dependence of static dielectric susceptibility and correlation length of charge density waves (CDW) with weak defects on parameter of incommensurability with lattice is investigated. In almost commensurate phase (h?h_ch_c), $\text{χ ～ (h?h}{}_{\mathrm{c}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>3</mtext>}}\text{In}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>-4</mtext><mtext>3</mtext>}}\text{h}{}_{\mathrm{c}}\text{/h?h}{}_{\mathrm{c}}$ and R_c ～ (h ? h_c)^{$\text{2}\text{3}$}.

Study of the three-proton three-neutron-hole nucleus 208At

Levels in ²⁰⁸At were populated in the ²⁰⁹Bi(α, 5n) reaction, and the subsequent radiation was studied using γ-spectroscopic methods including γ-ray excitation function and angular distribution, γγ(t) coincidence and γt measurements, as well as measurements of conversion electrons. The excited spectrum of ²⁰⁸At is found to consist of two almost disconnected parts which are proposed to originate from seniority-three proton and neutron cascades. Two isometric states are observed. A $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{= 45 ± 2}\text{ns}$ state at 1090 keV is proposed to have the main configuration and J^π = 10^?. A high-spin isomer with $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{= 1.5 ± 0.2 μs at 2276}\text{keV}$ is assigned to be the state. Shell-model arguments are used to assign configurations to most of the observed levels. Transition rates are discussed.     

On the super symmetry charges in the theory of scalar and spinor free fields

It is shown that for spinorial charges Q^(L))_α (α = 1, 2, L = 1, …, S) satisfying the commutation relations

$\text{{Q}{}^{\mathrm{(L)}}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{, Q}{}^{\mathrm{(M)}}{}_{\mathrm{\beta }}\text{} = ε}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{βa}{}^{\mathrm{LM}}\text{Q,}$

$\text{{Q}{}^{\mathrm{(L)}}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{, Q}{}^{\mathrm{(M)+}}{}_{\mathrm{\beta }}\text{} = cσ}{}^{\mathrm{\mu }}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha \beta }}\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{δ}{}^{\mathrm{LM}}\text{,}$

$\text{[Q}{}^{\mathrm{(L)}}\text{)}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{, P}{}^{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{] = 0,}$

where Q is a scalar charge commuting with the spinor charges as well aswith the energy- momentum vector Pμ, there can exist several different multiplets for free massive scalar and spinor fields.     

Conductivity of a quasi-one-dimensional metal at finite temperatures

The longitudinal conductivity of a quasi-one-dimensional metal is calculated for the case T?ω_D (ω_D being the limiting phonon frequency) and ω_Dl¹/v?1 where l¹ is the effective mean free path determined by impurity and phonon scattering: $\text{l}{}^1\text{= (l}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}{}_{\mathrm{ph}}\text{+ l}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{, l}{}_{\mathrm{ph}}\text{= v/λT, l}{}_{\mathrm{i}}$ is the impurity mean free path. The conductivity is σ = (c₁e²/πS)l³_iv^?2ω_DλT for l_i?l_ph, σ = (c₂e²/πS)vω_D(λT)^?2 for l_i?l_ph, λ being the dimensionless electron-phonon interaction constant, c₁, c₂ ～ 1, S = a_xa_y is the (xy) area per one chain.     

Two-electron,one-photon transitions in nickel

The two emission lines, Kα₁α₃^h and Kα₂α₃^h resulting from the two-electron transitions $\text{1s}{}^{\mathrm{?2}}\text{→ 2s}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{2p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ and $\text{1s}{}^{\mathrm{?2}}\text{→ 2s}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{2p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ were resolved for elemental nickel. Their measured energies agree well with calculations. Their relative intensity $\text{I(Kα}{}_1\text{α}{}_3{}^{\mathrm{h}}\text{)/I(Kα}{}_2\text{α}{}_3{}^{\mathrm{h}}\text{) ≈}\text{3}\text{4}$ and their intensity relative to that of the Kα diagram lines is about 10^?4. This is some 10⁴ times larger than both theoretical results and the results of ion-atom collision experiments.     

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.     

Excited vibrational state microwave spectra,structure, and force-field of trifluorosilane

The J = 2?1 microwave spectrum of six isotopic species of HSiF₃ has been observed and assigned in excited states of five of the six fundamental vibrations. The assignment is based on relative intensities, double resonance experiments, and trial anharmonic force constant calculations. Analysis of the spectra leads to experimental values for five of the $\text{α}{}_{\mathrm{r}}{}^{\mathrm{B}}$ constants, all three l-doubling constants q_t, one Fermi resonance constant φ₂₃₃, and one zeta constant $\text{ζ}{}_{\mathrm{6,\; 6}}{}^{\mathrm{(z)}}$.The harmonic force field has been refined to all the available data on vibration wavenumbers, centrifugal distortion constants, and zeta constants. The cubic anharmonic force field has been refined to the data on $\text{α}{}_{\mathrm{r}}{}^{\mathrm{B}}$ and q_t constants, using two models: a valence force model with two cubic force constants for SiH and SiF stretching, and a more sophisticated model. With the help of these calculations, the following equilibrium structure has been determined: $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{(}\text{SiH}\text{) = 1.4468(±5)}\text{A}\text{?}$, $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{(}\text{SiF}\text{) = 1.5624(±1)}\text{A}\text{?}$, ∠HSiF = 110.64(±3)°,
