Nonperturbative signatures in pair production for general elliptic polarization fields

The momentum signatures in nonperturbative multiphoton pair production for general elliptic polarization electric fields are investigated by employing the real-time Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner formalism. For a linearly polarized electric field we find that the positions of the nodes in momenta spectra of created pairs depend only on the electric field frequency. The polarization of external fields could not only change the node structures or even make the nodes disappear but also change the thresholds of pair production. The momentum signatures associated to the node positions in which the even-number-photon pair creation process is forbid could be used to distinguish the orbital angular momentum of created pairs on the momenta spectra. These distinguishable momentum signatures could be relevant for providing the output information of created particles and also the input information of ultrashort laser pulses.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Europhysics Letter

The Influences of Outflow on the Dynamics of Inflow

Both numerical simulations and observations indicate that in an advection-dominated accretion flow most of the accretion material supplied at the outer boundary will not reach the inner boundary. Rather, they are lost via outflow. Previously, the influence of outflow on the dynamics of inflow is taken into account only by adopting a radius-dependent mass accretion rate $\dot{M}=\dot{M}_0 (r/r_{\rm out})^s$ with $s>0$. In this paper, based on a 1.5 dimensional description to the accretion flow, we investigate this problem in more detail by considering the interchange of mass, radial and azimuthal momentum, and the energy between the outflow and inflow. The physical quantities of the outflow is parameterized based on our current understandings to the properties of outflow mainly from numerical simulations of accretion flows. Our results indicate that under reasonable assumptions to the properties of outflow, the main influence of outflow has been properly included by adopting $\dot{M}=\dot{M}_0 (r/r_{\rm out})^s$.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures. accepted for publication in Ap

Production rates for hadrons, pentaquarks Θ+\Theta ^+ and Θ∗++\Theta ^{*++}, and di-baryon (ΩΩ)0+(\Omega\Omega)_{0^{+}} in relativistic heavy ion collisions by a quark combination model

The hadron production in relativistic heavy ion collisions is well described by the quark combination model. The mixed ratios for various hadrons and the transverse momentum spectra for long-life hadrons are predicted and agree with recent RHIC data. The production rates for the pentaquarks $\Theta ^+$, $\Theta ^{*++}$ and the di-baryon $(\Omega\Omega)_{0^{+}}$ are estimated, neglecting the effect from the transition amplitude for constituent quarks to form an exotic state.Comment: The difference between our model and other combination models is clarified. The scaled transverse momentum spectra for pions, kaons and protoms at both 130 AGeV and 200 AGeV are given, replacing the previous results in transverse momentum spectr
