    Monte Carlo simulation for radiative kaon decays

    Full text link
    For high precision measurements of K decays, the presence of radiated photons cannot be neglected. The Monte Carlo simulations must include the radiative corrections in order to compute the correct event counting and efficiency calculations. In this paper we briefly describe a method for simulating such decays.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figur

    Non-extensive resonant reaction rates in astrophysical plasmas

    Full text link
    We study two different physical scenarios of thermonuclear reactions in stellar plasmas proceeding through a narrow resonance at low energy or through the low energy wing of a wide resonance at high energy. Correspondingly, we derive two approximate analytical formulae in order to calculate thermonuclear resonant reaction rates inside very coupled and non ideal astrophysical plasmas in which non-extensive effects are likely to arise. Our results are presented as simple first order corrective factors that generalize the well known classical rates obtained in the framework of Maxwell-Boltzmann statistical mechanics. As a possible application of our results, we calculate the dependence of the total corrective factor with respect to the energy at which the resonance is located, in an extremely dense and non ideal carbon plasma.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur

    Full separability criterion for tripartite quantum systems

    Get PDF
    In this paper, an intuitive approach is employed to generalize the full separability criterion of tripartite quantum states of qubits to the higher-dimensional systems (Phys. Rev. A \textbf{72}, 022333 (2005)). A distinct characteristic of the present generalization is that less restrictive conditions are needed to characterize the properties of full separability. Furthermore, the formulation for pure states can be conveniently extended to the case of mixed states by utilizing the kronecker product approximate technique. As applications, we give the analytic approximation of the criterion for weakly mixed tripartite quantum states and investigate the full separability of some weakly mixed states.Comment: 5 pages.

    Evolution of coupled fermions under the influence of an external axial-vector field

    Full text link
    The evolution of coupled fermions interacting with external axial-vector fields is described with help of the classical field theory. We formulate the initial conditions problem for the system of two coupled fermions in (3+1)-dimensional space-time. This problem is solved using the perturbation theory. We obtain in the explicit form the expressions for the leading and next to the leading order terms in the expansion over the strength of external fields. It is shown that in the relativistic limit the intensity of the fermion field coincides with the transition probability in the two neutrinos system interacting with moving and polarized matter.Comment: RevTeX4, 8 pages, 1 eps figure; revised variant, neutral currents interactions of flavor neutrinos are included, some typos corrected, 1 reference added; accepted for publication in Eur.Phys.J.

    Modulational instabilities in Josephson oscillations of elongated coupled condensates

    Full text link
    We study the Josephson oscillations of two coupled elongated condensates. Linearized calculations show that the oscillating mode uniform over the length of the condensates (uniform Josephson mode) is unstable : modes of non zero longitudinal momentum grow exponentially. In the limit of strong atom interactions, we give scaling laws for the instability time constant and unstable wave vectors. Beyond the linearized approach, numerical calculations show a damped recurrence behavior : the energy in the Josephson mode presents damped oscillations. Finally, we derive conditions on the confinement of the condensates to prevent instabilities
