Calculation of exclusive processes with baryons

Using the nucleon andΔ ₃₃-resonance wave functions found out in previous papers [14, 15] we calculate the electromagnetic and weak nucleon formfactors, the transition formfactorγ \(\bar N\) Δ and the decay widths of charmonium levels³ S ₁,³ P ₂ and³ P ₁ into \(\bar N\) N and \(\bar \Delta \) Δ.     

Relativistic correction to the triton binding energy in the framework of relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics

The relativistic correction to the triton binding energy approximated to the order (v/c)² is calculated in the framework of relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics. We discuss the generator representation of the Poincaré group for three relativistic particles and its connection with the Feynman diagrams in the infinite-momentum frame (the light-front dynamics). The relativistic correction enhances the attraction in the three-nucleon system. The five-channel calculation with the Reid soft-core potential yeilds the result =–0.54 MeV, which is governed mainly by theD-wave contribution. TheS-wave contributions to are only –0.10 MeV.     

Problems of pion-nucleus interaction

The review of new theoretical and experimental results in the field of the pion-nucleus interaction which are presented in the contributed papers at the IV International symposium Mesons and Light Nuclei (Bechyn, 1988) is given. The discussion covers a wide area of problems from the -nucleon interaction to the pion interaction with light nuclei at low and intermediate energies.Rapporteur talk at the symposium Mesons and Light Nuclei, IV, Bechyn, Czechoslovakia, September 5–10, 1988.     

Physics with and without the equivalence principle

A differential manifold (d-manifold, for short) can be defined as a pair (M, C), where M is any set and C is a family of real functions on M which is (i) closed with respect to localization and (ii) closed with respect to superposition with smooth Euclidean functions; one also assumes that (iii) M is locally diffeomorphic to Rⁿ. These axioms have a straightforward physical interpretation. Axioms (i) and (ii) formalize certain compatibility conditions which usually are supposed to be assumed tacitly by physicists. Axiom (iii) may be though of as a (nonmetric) version of Einstein's equivalence principle. By dropping axiom (iii), one obtains a more general structure called a differential space (d-space). Every subset of Rⁿ turns out to be a d-space. Nevertheless it is mathematically a workable structure. It might be expected that somewhere in the neighborhood of the Big Bang there is a domain in which space-time is not a d-manifold but still continues to be a d-space. In such a domain we would have a physics without the (usual form of the) equivalence principle. Simple examples of d-spaces which are not d-manifolds elucidate the principal characteristics the resulting physics would manifest.on leave of absence from the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Department of Theoretical Physics, ul.

Density and uniqueness in percolation

Two results on site percolation on thed-dimensional lattice,d1 arbitrary, are presented. In the first theorem, we show that for stationary underlying probability measures, each infinite cluster has a well-defined density with probability one. The second theorem states that if in addition, the probability measure satisfies the finite energy condition of Newman and Schulman, then there can be at most one infinite cluster with probability one. The simple arguments extend to a broad class of finite-dimensional models, including bond percolation and regular lattices.     

The effect of the relative position of the bandgap with respect to laser wavelength on the behaviour of DFWM in semiconductor-doped glasses

Degenerated four-wave mixing (DFWM) was realised in five commercial semiconductor-doped glasses (Corning CS3–66, CS3–67, CS3–68, CS3–69, CS3–70). The reflectivity obtained for each glass seems very dependent on the energy excess (E=hv–E _g) and relatively independant on l, the product of the absorption coefficient () by the sample thickness (l). The decay time of the DFWM signal was measured for each glass. The relaxation was found to be different when the photon energy is under or over the gap.     

Semi-insulating electrical properties of undoped inp after heat treatment in a phosphorus atmosphere

Nominally undoped InP wafers have been annealed in a phosphorus atmosphere under a pressure of about 5 bar at temperatures of 900 °C for about 80 h. It was found that the electrical properties of the samples changed considerably after this treatment. A room temperature resistivity of up to 2×10⁷cm (semi-insulating behaviour) was obtained in the bulk of the samples. The resistivity finally obtained depends on the starting carrier concentration of the untreated samples. The Hall coefficient and Hall mobility have been measured up to 600 °C. The results can be interpreted in terms of a deep electronic level (E _A=0.63 ... 0.65 eV below the conduction band). The Hall coefficient was always found to be negative resulting in a Hall mobility of 1.4 to 4.9×10³ cm²/Vs. The highest resistivity in nominally undoped bulk InP so far reported in the literature [1] was =3.6 × 10⁵cm. Therefore, this paper demonstrates for the first time that a really semi-insulating behaviour of >10⁷ cm can be achieved for bulk InP with the purity of nominally undoped material (10¹⁵ to 10¹⁶cm^–3).     

Speeding-up and scaling of domain-wall relaxation nearT c of a uniaxial ferromagnet

The dynamic susceptibility () measured between 10 Hz and 10 MHz on different GdCl₃-ellipsoids (T _c=2.21 K) reveals a completely reversible motion of the domain walls. Taking into account the contribution of the fast adiabatic intradomain magnetization to the nearly Debye-shaped (), we determine for the first time the kinetic Onsager coefficientL _d of the domain wall relaxation of a ferromagnet. Approaching the CurietemperatureL _d speeds up critically, which by a novel simple relaxational model can be related to the increasing width (=correlation length) of linear Bulaevskii-Ginzburg domain-walls and to the shrinking domain period. The reduction ofL _d by an external field can be represented by a universal scaling function, and within the same dynamical model, this effect is ascribed to the increase of the domain period, predicted for a bubble phase. However, the effect of sample size onL _d is much smaller than expected.     

The absorption of pulsed CO2-laser radiation by ethylene at total pressures from 25 to 3000 Torr

The absorption of pulsed CO₂-laser radiation by ethylene has been measured at total pressures from 25 to 3000 Torr, using the P(12) and P(14) lines in the 10.6 m band, with incident fluences from 0.1 to 0.7 J/cm². Marked deviations from the Beer-Lambert absorption law were observed, with the effective absorption coefficient varying with pressure, fluence, absorption path-length and the addition of non-absorbing gas. Pressure broadening of the rotational lines of the ethylene absorption spectrum was shown to be the major cause of these deviations, together with lesser effects which can be attributed to the rise in temperature of the absorbing gas during the laser pulse.
