Geometry-dependent scattering through quantum billiards: Experiment and theory
We present experimental studies of the geometry-specific quantum scattering
in microwave billiards of a given shape. We perform full quantum mechanical
scattering calculations and find an excellent agreement with the experimental
results. We also carry out the semiclassical calculations where the conductance
is given as a sum of all classical trajectories between the leads, each of them
carrying the quantum-mechanical phase. We unambiguously demonstrate that the
characteristic frequencies of the oscillations in the transmission and
reflection amplitudes are related to the length distribution of the classical
trajectories between the leads, whereas the frequencies of the probabilities
can be understood in terms of the length difference distribution in the pairs
of classical trajectories. We also discuss the effect of non-classical "ghost"
trajectories that include classically forbidden reflection off the lead mouths.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
The beta-delayed neutron emission in 78Ni region
A systematic study of the total -decay half-lives and -delayed
neutron emission probabilities is performed. The -strength function is
treated within the self-consistent density-functional + continuum-QRPA
framework including the Gamow-Teller and first-forbidden transitions. The
experimental total -decay half-lives for the Ni isotopes with 76
are described satisfactorily. The half-lives predicted from =70 up to =86
reveal fairly regular -behaviour which results from simultaneous account for
the Gamow-Teller and first-forbidden transitions. For 28 nuclei, a
suppression of the delayed neutron emission probability is found when the
=50 neutron closed shell is crossed. The effect originates from the
high-energy first-forbidden transitions to the states outside the -window in the daughter nuclei.
