Existence of standing waves for dirac fields with singular nonlinearities

We prove the existence of stationary states for nonlinear Dirac equations of the form (E) $$i\sum\limits_{\mu = 0}^3 {\gamma ^\mu \partial _\mu \psi - M\psi + F\left( {\bar \psi \psi } \right)\psi = 0,} $$ whereM>0 andF is a singular self-interaction. In particular, in the model case whereF(s)=?s ^?α, for some 0<α<1, and for every ω>M, there exists a solution of (E) of the form ψ(t, x)=e ^iωt?(x), wherex ₀=t andx=(x ₁,x ₂,x ₃), such that ? has compact support. IF 0<α<1/3, then ? is of classC ¹. If 1/3<α<1, then ? is continuously differentiable, except on some sphere {|x|=R}, where |??| is infinite.     

Yttrium aluminate crystals for slabs

The methods of growing YAG:Nd crystals with a flat interface and YAP:Nd crystals with a sharp conical interface are described. The form of the interface was controlled by the He and H₂O content in the reducing atmosphere composed mainly of Ar and H₂ as well as by axial temperature gradient above the melt level. The crystals of 120–180 mm in length were machined to the high-quality slabs.     

Diffractive dissociation reaction np → Λ0K0p for incident neutron momenta between 30 and 70 GeV/c BIS-2 collaboration

We present results of the exclusive diffractive reaction np ⁰K⁰p at 0·08 < |t|< 0·53 GeV²/c² and momenta between 30–70 GeV/c at the Serpukhov neutron beam. Thet-dependence is exp (Bt) withB= 11·4± 2·3 (GeV/c)^–2 and it exhibits the diffractive minimum at ¦t¦ 0·28 GeV²/c² for ⁰K⁰ massesM < 1·8 GeV/c².B decreases with increasingM. Correlation with the beam direction is observed in the rest frame of the ⁰K⁰ system: the cross section rises for the forward-going ⁰. The rise is more pronounced for higherM. The cross section of reaction np ⁰K⁰p for 0<|t|< 0·53 GeV²/c² is 10·3 ± 2·5 ± 2·8 b.     

Finitely additive states and completeness of inner product spaces

For any unit vector in an inner product space S, we define a mapping on the system of all -closed subspaces of S, F(S), whose restriction on the system of all splitting subspaces of S, E(S), is always a finitely additive state. We show that S is complete iff at least one such mapping is a finitely additive state on F(S). Moreover, we give a completeness criterion via the existence of a regular finitely additive state on appropriate systems of subspaces. Finally, the result will be generalized to general inner product spaces.     

Radiative kinks and fermionic zero modes in a (λφ6)1+1 model

We consider bidimensional scalar models including kink solutions _k (x). Using the hidden supersymmetric properties of the Dirac equation, we describe a general method to find normalizable fermionic zero modes. In particular, we apply the technique to a ( ⁶)₁₊₁ model. Going to the one-loop order of the effective potential, the emergence of a radiative kink provides an interesting scalar background in order to discuss the Dirac equation.
