Algorithms based on DQM with new sets of base functions for solving parabolic partial differential equations in (2+1)(2+1) dimension

This paper deals with the numerical computations of two space dimensional time dependent parabolic partial differential equations by adopting adopting an optimal five stage fourth-order strong stability preserving Runge Kutta (SSP-RK54) scheme for time discretization, and three methods of differential quadrature with different sets of modified B-splines as base functions, for space discretization: namely i) mECDQM: (DQM with modified extended cubic B-splines); ii) mExp-DQM: DQM with modified exponential cubic B-splines, and iii) MTB-DQM: DQM with modified trigonometric cubic B-splines. Specially, we implement these methods on convection-diffusion equation to convert them into a system of first order ordinary differential equations,in time which can be solved using any time integration method, while we prefer SSP-RK54 scheme. All the three methods are found stable for two space convection-diffusion equation by employing matrix stability analysis method. The accuracy and validity of the methods are confirmed by three test problems of two dimensional convection-diffusion equation, which shows that the proposed approximate solutions by any of the method are in good agreement with the exact solutions

Particle Production at CBM in a Thermal Model Approach

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment planned at Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will provide a major scientific effort for exploring the properties of strongly interacting matter in the high baryon density regime. One of the important goal behind such experiment is to precisely determine the equation of state (EOS) for the strongly interacting matter at extreme baryon density. In this paper, we have used a thermal model EOS incorporating excluded volume description for the hot and dense hadron gas (HG). We then predict different particle ratios and the total multiplicity of various hadrons in the CBM energy range i.e. from $10$ A GeV to $40$ A GeV lab energies, which corresponds to $4.43$ A GeV and $8.71$ A GeV center-of-mass energies. Our main emphasis is to estimate the strange particles enhancement as well as increase in the net baryon density in CBM experiment. We have also compared our results with the results obtained from various other theoretical approaches existing in the literature such as hadron string dynamics (HSD) model and ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD) etc.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figure

Correlation trends in the ground state static electric dipole polarizabilities of closed-shell atoms and ions

We employ the closed-shell perturbed relativistic coupled-cluster (RCC) theory developed by us earlier [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 77}, 062516 (2008)] to evaluate the ground state static electric dipole polarizabilities (\alpha s) of several atomic systems. In this work, we have incorporated a class of higher order many-body effects in our calculations that had not been taken into account in the above paper. We highlight their importance in improving the accuracy of $\alpha$. We also calculate the ground state \alpha s of the inert gas atoms and several iso-electronic singly and doubly charged ions in order to make a comparative study of the trends of the correlation effects. Furthermore, we have developed a method to construct intermediate diagrams that are required for the computation of the unperturbed singles and doubles coupled-cluster amplitudes. Our RCC results are compared with those of many-body perturbation theory at different orders to demonstrate the importance of higher order correlation effects for the accurate determination of (\alpha s) of the systems that we have considered.Comment: 11 pages, 15 figure

Revisiting Nuclear Quadrupole Moments in 39−41^{39-41}K Isotopes

Nuclear quadrupole moments ($Q$s) in three isotopes of potassium (K) with atomic mass numbers 39, 40 and 41 are evaluated more precisely in this work. The $Q$ value of $^{39}$K is determined to be 0.0614(6) $b$ by combining the available experimental result of the electric quadrupole hyperfine structure constant ($B$) with our calculated $B/Q$ result of its $4P_{3/2}$ state. Furthermore combining this $Q$ value with the measured ratios $Q$($^{40}$K)$/Q$($^{39}$K) and $Q$($^{41}$K)$/Q$($^{39}$K), we obtain $Q$($^{40}$K)$=-0.0764(10) \ b$ and $Q$($^{41}$K)$=0.0747(10) \ b$, respectively. These results disagree with the recently quoted standard values in the nuclear data table within the given uncertainties. The calculations are carried out by employing the relativistic coupled-cluster theory at the singles, doubles and involving important valence triples approximation. The accuracies of the calculated $B/Q$ results can be viewed on the basis of comparison between our calculated magnetic dipole hyperfine structure constants ($A$s) with their corresponding measurements for many low-lying states. Both $A$ and $B$ results in few more excited states are presented for the first time.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figur

Transition properties of potassium atom

We report here oscillator strengths, transition rates, branching ratios and lifetimes due to allowed transitions in potassium (K) atom. We evaluate electric dipole (E1) amplitudes using an all order relativistic many-body perturbation method. The obtained results are compared with previously available experimental and theoretical studies. Using the E1 matrix elements mentioned above and estimated from the lifetimes of the 4P states, we determine precise values of static and dynamic polarizabilities for the first five low-lying states in the considered atom. The static polarizabilities of the ground and 4P states in the present work are more precise than the available measurements in these states. Only the present work employs relativistic theory to evaluate polarizabilities in the 3D states for which no experimental results are known to compare with. We also reexamine "magic wavelengths" for the $4P_{1/2} \rightarrow 4S$ and $4P_{3/2} \rightarrow 4S$ transitions due to the linearly polarized light which are useful to perform state-insensitive trapping of K atoms.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure
