Electron (muon) decay of a heavy lepton

Expressions are derived for the differential probability for the decay e(). The possibly nonzero mass of and the polarizations of both the decaying lepton and the charged lepton which is produced are all taken into account. A quantitative analysis is carried out for various masses of the neutrino and for various energies of the lepton emitted during the decay.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 97–100, June 1981.     

τ-Lepton decay in an arbitrary plane-wave electromagnetic field

This paper discuses the , decay process in a field formed by the super-position of two fields: a crossed constant field and and electromagnetic plane-wave field. An expression is derived for the decay probability under the assumption of a nonzero -neutrino mass. The dependence of the decay probability on the lepton spin and on the external-field parameters is analyzed. The variation of the decay probability with the neutrino mass and lepton spin yields information which may be useful for ascertaining the neutrino mass.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 27–32, December, 1985.The authors are indebted to Professor V.

Colored noise in activated rate processes

We consider bistable systems driven by stationary wideband Gaussian colored noise. We construct uniform asymptotic expansions of the stationary probability density function and of the activation rate, for small intensity and short correlation time of the noise. We find that for different values of the total power output / of the noise, different terms in the asymptotic expansions become dominant. For we recover previously derived results, while for =O() and new results are obtained.     

On the Eigenstates of the Elliptic Calogero–Moser Model

It is known that the trigonometric Calogero–Sutherland model is obtained by the trigonometric limit (–1) of the elliptic Calogero–Moser model, where (1, ) is a basic period of the elliptic function. We show that for all square-integrable eigenstates and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian of the Calogero–Sutherland model, if exp(2–1) is small enough then there exist square-integrable eigenstates and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian of the elliptic Calogero–Moser model which converge to the ones of the Calogero–Sutherland model for the 2-particle and the coupling constant l is positive integer cases and the 3-particle and l=1 case. In other words, we justify the regular perturbation with respect to the parameter exp(2–1). With some assumptions, we show analogous results for N-particle and l is positive integer cases.     

Magnetoresistance in two-dimensional magnesium films of various thicknesses

The magnetoresistance of thin magnesium films in the weakly localized regime has been measured at 4.2 K as a function of film thickness. The results are analysed in a new and simple way based on the theory of Hikami et al. [1]. We use only two adjustable parameters, the inelastic relaxation time _i and the spin-orbit scattering time _so. Whereas _so is found to be almost independent of thickness, _i changes significantly. The variation of _i with thickness is discussed in the light of the theories for the enhanced electron-electron interaction, but it does not seem to tie up with any of the existing theories.     

On Parametrized General Relativity

A physical framework has been proposed which describes manifestly covariant relativistic evolution using a scalar time . Studies in electromagnetism, measurement, and the nature of time have demonstrated that in this framework, electromagnetism must be formulated in terms of -dependent fields. Such an electromagnetic theory has been developed. Gravitation must also use of -dependent fields, but many references do not take the metric's dependence on fully into account. Others differ markedly from general relativity in their formulation. In contrast, this paper outlines steps towards a -dependent classical intrinsic formulation of gravitation, patterned after general relativity, which we call parametrized general relativity (PGR). Given the existence of a preferred foliation, the Hamiltonian constraint is removed. We find that some nonmetricity in the connection is allowed, unlike in general relativity. Conditions on the allowable nonmetricity are found. Consideration of the initial value problem confirms that the metric signature should normally be O(3, 2) rather than O(4, 1). Following the lead of earlier works, we argue that concatenation (integration over ) is unnecessary for relating parametrized physics to experience, and propose an alternative to it. Finally, we compare and contrast PGR with other relevant gravitational theories.     

Matrix field theory for disordered local pairing superconductors with two glass order parameters and spin-flip pairbreaking processes

We derive the exact matrix field theory for a replicated grassmannian representation of a local pairing superconducting disorder ensemble including three superconducting order parameters and the spin-flip pairbreaking mechanism. Disorder is assumed to be gaussian distributed. We find by exactly solving the saddle-point equation the criterion for a vanishing gap ^–1 + ^–1 , where denotes the averaged superconducting order parameter, ^–1 the spin-flip scattering rate, and ^–1 the scattering rate corresponding to correlations of Re(–). Taken at =0, our field theory, which is exact in all orders of ^–1 , contains new terms in addition to those of theO( ^–1 ) model derived by Efetov et al. Our formulation transfers correctly to all orders the invariances of the action into symmetries of the matrix field theory. The saddle point approximation is outlined and it is shown how singular corrections to the saddle point density of states arise atE _F in a gapless superconductor. Finally singular corrections in the two particle propagator, the density correlation function and the conductivity are calculated for =0 in one loop order. It turns out that these corrections can be entirely expressed by those of the single particle density of states.     

Nature of 2-Aminoxanthone Fluorescence

Absorption and fluorescence spectra of 2-aminoxanthone in solutions of different types at 77–350 K were studied. The existence of three bands (_{1 max} = 417 nm, ₁ = 14 ns; _{2 max} = 528 nm, ₂ = 13 ns; and _{3 max} = 565 nm, ₃ = 6 ns) in fluorescence of 2-aminoxanthone solutions has been established. It was shown that the first short-wave band was determined by deactivation of singlet excitation of an aminoxanthone molecule. The band with _{3 max} = 565 nm (depending on the concentration) is connected with excimer-type aggregates, which are formed by aminoxanthone molecules grouped with the help of dipole molecules of solvent or by weak hydrogen bonds between aminoxanthone molecules. The emission in band _{2 max} = 528 nm is caused by reversible changes in the 2-aminoxanthone molecule and probably is connected with an intramolecular proton transfer.     

A two-level Kaluza-Klein theory

Let the Lie groups G and H act on the manifold P in such a way that P fibres as a principal G-bundle over P/G and as an H-bundle over P/H. We find that every pair (,) where is an H-invariant connection form in PP/G and is a G-invariant connection form in PP/H corresponds uniquely to a connection form in PP/(H×G) and a cross-section of a vector bundle with base P/(H×G).     

On the hardening in modulated structure

Hardening in modulated structure is evaluated using the periodic approximation. The critical shear stress increment due to the periodic structure is calculated in the constant line energy approximation. The results are applicable to any periodic structure (concentration waves must be neither homophase nor symmetric) exerting on the dislocation local glide forces with an amplitude smaller than ( denotes the line energy of corresponding straight dislocation directed along the concentration variations with the wave vector). In the zero approximation, the critical forceb is then simply the glide force on the straight dislocation averaged along its length in its most hardened position.

Performance of a prototype microwave frequency standard based on laser-detected,trapped171Yb+ ions

A microwave frequency standard based on buffer gas-cooled¹⁷¹Yb⁺ ions confined in a linear Paul trap has been demonstrated in prototype form. The standard exhibits a fractional frequency instability characterised by an Allan deviation of (_y() = 2.9 × 10^–13–1/2 for < 2 × 10⁴ s. Factors affecting the stability of the standard have been systematically investigated.     

Enhancement of conductance fluctuations in two-dimensional mesoscopic electron systems with valley structures

Conductance fluctuations are studied in twodimensional mesoscopic electron system with a two-hold valley degeneracy (n _v =2), which corresponds to the inversion layer of Si-MOSFET formed in (1,0,0) plane. It is shown that the intervalley scattering modifies conductance fluctuations depending on the ratio, Min { _c , _T }/ _v , where _v = ( – 2)/2 and _c , _T , and are, respectively, system traversal time, thermal diffusion time, intervalley scattering time and total life time of electrons. Conductance fluctuations are no longer universal and vary from G _univ 0.862·e ²/h to {ie223-5} at low temperatures even for isotropic systems. The conductance fluctuations increase with decreasing system size, increasing electron density and increasing intervalley scattering time. The effect of intervalley scattering is essentially the same as that of intersubband scattering as previously reported. At finite temperatures where _{T c} , the intervalley scattering modifies the fluctuations through the change in the energy correlation range to results in the reduction of the conductance fluctuations. In Si-MOSFET formed in (1, 1, 1) plane, wheren _v =6, more enhanced fluctuations are expected. Experimental studies are desired on theoretically predicted points.     

c = 2 Rational Toroidal Conformal Field Theories via the Gauss Product

We find a concise relation between the moduli , of a rational Narain lattice (,) and the corresponding momentum lattices of left and right chiral algebras via the Gauss product. As a byproduct, we find an identity which counts the cardinality of a certain double coset space defined for isometries between the discriminant forms of rank two lattices.

From the eden model to the kinetic growth walk: A generalized growth model with a finite lifetime of growth sites

We propose a new class of cluster growth models where growth sites have a finite lifetime , which contains as special cases the Eden model ( = ) and the kinetic growth walk ( = 1). For finite but large values the growth process can be characterized by a crossover timet _X; for times belowt _X an Eden-type cluster is formed, while for times abovet _X the growth process belongs to the universality class of the self-avoiding random walk. The crossover time increases monotonically with . We develop a scaling theory for the time evolution of the mean end-to-end distance between the seed and the last-added site, and for the average number of growth sites by which the kinetics of the growth process can be characterized. We test this scaling theory by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We also extend our results to inhomogeneous media (percolation systems).     

Transport of light radiation in a spatially finite three-dimensional scattering medium

We propose a new method for solving radiation transport problems, which permits including in analytic form for the case of normal incidence the effect of spatial finiteness of the scattering medium. The formation of the light field accompanying changes in the optical parameters and optical dimensions of the medium is analyzed.this paper, we examine the simplest case of a geometry of a scattering medium in the form of a parallelipiped with optical length _x, height _y, and width _z. The analysis is performed for the case =1, _y = _z with the latter varying in the range 0.1 to . The results obtained show that the light field depends strongly on the optical dimensions of the medium. The limiting values of the optical dimensions (_y = _z), beginning with which the spatial finiteness of the medium can be neglected, are determined.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavednii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 82–85, August, 1982.     

Dispersion of the permittivity of high-resistance semiconductors

We consider the mechanism of macroscopic polarization of semiconducting plates owing to the interaction of free carriers with an impurity level, in which role the level of the residual impurity of compensated semiconductors may appear. This mechanism, in combination with the diffusion-drift mechanism of polarization, results in additional dispersion of the real () and imaginary () parts of the dielectric permittivity, this being particularly significant for semiconductors of thickness smaller than the screening length L_s of free carriers. The character of the behavior of and depends on the relation between the Maxwell relation time _M and the times of carrier capture: _c and ejection _e by an impurity center. For _cetm and (/L_s) _e/_c1 the dispersion of and is the same as for thick plates (/L_s1). For _{c m e} and (/L_s)_e/_c1 the () curve has a characteristic kink in the region 1/_e, indicating additional absorption associated with the ejection of carriers into the surface region.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 10, pp. 11–13, October, 1981.     

Macroscopic short-time electrodynamics for conductors

In the macroscopic electrodynamics (MED) of good conductors (metals) based on Ohm's law j=E, the momentum relaxation time =m/ne² of the electrons limits the application to electromagnetic (EM) processes with characteristic timest. An interesting physical difficulty occurs in MED since the EM field damping time _R=/ of metals is very small compared with the minimum macroscopic time scale, _R. Consequently, the damping and propagation of EM waves and pulses in good conductors cannot be correctly described within the frame of conventional MED. New hyperbolic EM wave equations with relaxation and memory are proposed, which no longer exhibit the _R deficiency. The latter is caused by Ohm's law, which breaks down for short-time processes, due to neglect of electron inertia. The advantages of the proposed and the disadvantages of the conventional EM wave equations for good conductors are discussed in applications.     

Unitarity bounds for 4-fermion contact interactions

In this paper we consider the effect of unitarity bounds s_bs(E₁+E₂) _cms ² for the recently proposed types of nonderivative 4-fermion contact interactions. To this purpose we decompose the helicity amplitudes at c.m.s. into partial waves. The bounds are defined to hold for all reaction channels due to the same type of contact interaction. We find s_b=4/. Here is the coupling constant. The factor depends on the type of coupling and on the different cases to identify the fermions. It ranges from 1/3 to 4.
