Two- and three-dimensional analysis of bose-einstein correlations inπ +/K+p interactions at 250 GeV/c

The NA22 data onπ ^? π ^? correlations are analyzed in terms of a number of two- and three-dimensional parametrizations (Gaussian space-time, Goldhaber, Bowler string-like, Bertsch hydrodynamical, Kopylov-Podgoretskii, etc.). Contrary to the results obtained for e⁺e^? andµp collisions, the Goldhaber parametrization, as well as string-like models, fail in describing the hadron-hadron data. Better fits are obtained in the framework of surface-emitting fireball-like models, both when including and excluding hydrodynamical expansion of nuclear matter. Our results indicate that pion radiation occurs at earlier stages of matter evolution than in nuclear collisions.     

Numerical convergence study of the orthogonalized multi-channels approach to three-body Coulomb scattering below breakup threshold

The three-body Coulomb problem for nuclear clusters is solved numerically for a model below three-body breakup threshold. An orthogonalized multi-channels method is employed. The method allows to check for convergence by considering the norm square of the closed-channels part of the wave function. The numerical results show that convergence can well be achieved on present-day computers.

The antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic transition in the system Zn1−x CuxCr2S4

The magnetization and paramagnetic susceptibility of the system of compounds Zn_1−x Cu_xCr₂S₄ (0<x⩽1) are investigated at low temperatures. It is shown that as the content of Cu increases the system exhibits a transition from an antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic state. Fiz. Tverd.

Effect of the susceptibility on the magnetic phase diagrams of a ferrimagnet with magnetic instability

The magnetic phase diagrams of a two-sublattice ferrimagnet with a magnetically unstable subsystem are calculated taking account of the susceptibility. Analytic expressions are obtained for the phase-transition fields and critical values of the parameters of the ferrimagnet. The evolution of the magnetic phase diagrams as the susceptibility of the unstable sublattice increases is analyzed.     

On Computability of Decaying and Nondecaying States in Quantum Systems with Cantor Spectra

We study Hamiltonians with singular spectra of Cantor type with a constant ratio of dissection. The decay properties of the states in such systems depend on the nature of the dissection rate that can be characterized in terms of the algebraic number theory. We show that in spite of simplicity of the considered model the computational modeling of nondecaying states is in general impossible.
