    Two-photon paired solitons supported by medium polarization

    Full text link
    We derive for the first time fundamental equations that describe soliton spatial profiles consisting of two-photon mode fields and macroscopic polarization of medium. Numerical solutions of this basic equation are presented to give single and multiple soliton chains taking an example of para-H2_2 v=0↔1v=0 \leftrightarrow 1 vibrational system. Although effects of dissipative relaxation are included in the general form for two-level system, the existence of static soliton-condensate is established. Stability analysis of soliton solutions is given. Arguments given here support that soliton-condensates thus derived are final remnants of time evolution of macro-coherent two-photon process. These soliton-condensates are expected to be important in the proposed neutrino mass spectroscopy using atoms.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures. Section 3 and 4 are improved in essential ways.

    New method of galactic axion search

    Full text link
    An appealing candidate of the galactic dark matter is the axion, which was postulated to solve the strong CP (Charge-conjugation Parity) violation problem in the standard particle theory. A new experimental method is proposed to determine the axion mass. The method uses collectively and coherently excited atoms or molecules, the trigger laser inducing galactic axion absorption along with signal photon emission to be detected.Comment: Finite size effect of target is incorporated. 5 pages, 3 figure

    Determination of CP violation parameter using neutrino pair beam

    Full text link
    Neutrino oscillation experiments under neutrino pair beam from circulating excited heavy ions are studied. It is found that detection of double weak events has a good sensitivity to measure CP violating parameter and distinguish mass hierarchy patterns in short baseline experiments in which the earth-induced matter effect is minimized.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure

    Dynamics of two-photon paired superradiance

    We develop for dipole-forbidden transition a dynamical theory of two-photon paired superradiance, or PSR for short. This is a cooperative process characterized by two photons back to back emitted with equal energies. By irradiation of trigger laser from two target ends, with its frequency tuned at the half energy between two levels, a macroscopically coherent state of medium and fields dynamically emerges as time evolves and large signal of amplified output occurs with a time delay. The basic semi-classical equations in 1+1 spacetime dimensions are derived for the field plus medium system to describe the spacetime evolution of the entire system, and numerically solved to demonstrate existence of both explosive and weak PSR phenomena in the presence of relaxation terms. The explosive PSR event terminates accompanying a sudden release of most energy stored in the target. Our numerical simulations are performed using a vibrational transition X1Σg+v=1→0X^1\Sigma_g^+ v=1 \rightarrow 0 of para-H2_2 molecule, and taking many different excited atom number densities and different initial coherences between the metastable and the ground states. In an example of number density close to O[1021]O[10^{21}]cm−3^{-3} and of high initial coherence, the explosive event terminates at several nano seconds after the trigger irradiation, when the phase relaxation time of >O[10]> O[10] ns is taken. After PSR events the system is expected to follow a steady state solution which is obtained by analytic means, and is made of many objects of field condensates endowed with a topological stability.Comment: 31 pages, 15 figures.

    Parity violating radiative emission of neutrino pair in heavy alkaline earth atoms of even isotopes

    Full text link
    Metastable excited states 3P2,3P0{}^3P_2, {}^3P_0 of heavy alkaline earth atoms of even isotopes are studied for parity violating (PV) effects in radiative emission of neutrino pair (RENP). PV terms arise from interference between two diagrams containing neutrino pair emission of valence spin current and nuclear electroweak charge density proportional to the number of neutrons in nucleus. This mechanism gives large PV effects, since it does not suffer from the suppression of 1/(electron mass) usually present for non-relativistic atomic electrons. A controllable magnetic field is crucial to identify RENP process by measuring PV observables. Results of PV asymmetries under the magnetic field reversal and the photon circular polarization reversal are presented for an example of Yb atom.Comment: 18 pages, 13 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1312.675
