Exact dynamical exchange-correlation kernel of a weakly inhomogeneous electron gas
The dynamical exchange-correlation kernel of a non-uniform electron
gas is an essential input for the time-dependent density functional theory of
electronic systems. The long-wavelength behavior of this kernel is known to be
of the form where is the wave vector and is a
frequency-dependent coefficient. We show that in the limit of weak
non-uniformity the coefficient has a simple and exact expression in
terms of the ground-state density and the frequency-dependent kernel of a {\it
uniform} electron gas at the average density. We present an approximate
evaluation of this expression for Si and discuss its implications for the
theory of excitonic effects.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
The effect of barriers on wave propagation phenomena: With application for aircraft noise shielding
The frequency spectrum was divided into high and low frequency regimes and two separate methods were developed and applied to account for physical factors associated with flight conditions. For long wave propagation, the acoustic filed due to a point source near a solid obstacle was treated in terms of an inner region which where the fluid motion is essentially incompressible, and an outer region which is a linear acoustic field generated by hydrodynamic disturbances in the inner region. This method was applied to a case of a finite slotted plate modelled to represent a wing extended flap for both stationary and moving media. Ray acoustics, the Kirchhoff integral formulation, and the stationary phase approximation were combined to study short wave length propagation in many limiting cases as well as in the case of a semi-infinite plate in a uniform flow velocity with a point source above the plate and embedded in a different flow velocity to simulate an engine exhaust jet stream surrounding the source
The Decays to -wave Charmonium by Improved Bethe-Salpeter Approach
We re-calculate the exclusive semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of
meson to a -wave charmonium in terms of the improved Bethe-Salpeter (B-S)
approach, which is developed recently. Here the widths for the exclusive
semileptonic and nonleptonic decays, the form factors, and the charged lepton
spectrums for the semileptonic decays are precisely calculated. To test the
concerned approach by comparing with experimental measurements when the
experimental data are available, and to have comparisons with the other
approaches the results obtained by the approach and those by some approaches
else as well as the original B-S approach, which appeared in literature, are
comparatively presented and discussed.Comment: 33 pages, 5 figures, 3 table
Prospects for the Bc Studies at LHCb
We discuss the motivations and perspectives for the studies of the mesons of
the (bc) family at LHCb. The description of production and decays at LHC
energies is given in details. The event yields, detection efficiencies, and
background conditions for several Bc decay modes at LHCb are estimated.Comment: 20 pages, 5 eps-figure
The magnetic dipole transitions in the binding system
The magnetic dipole transitions between the vector mesons and their
relevant pseudoscalar mesons (, , , ,
and etc, the binding states of system) of
the family are interesting. To see the `hyperfine' splitting due to
spin-spin interaction is an important topic for understanding the spin-spin
interaction and the spectrum of the the binding system. The
knowledge about the magnetic dipole transitions is also very useful for
identifying the vector boson mesons experimentally, whose masses are
just slightly above the masses of their relevant pseudoscalar mesons
accordingly. Considering the possibility to observe the vector mesons via the
transitions at factory and the potentially usages of the theoretical
estimate on the transitions, we fucus our efforts on calculating the magnetic
dipole transitions, i.e. precisely to calculate the rates for the transitions
such as decays and , and particularly
work in the Behte-Salpeter framework. In the estimate, as a typical example, we
carefully investigate the dependance of the rate
on the mass difference as well.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, 1 tabl
Shifting with
Precision measurements at the resonance agree well with the standard
model. However, there is still a hint of a discrepancy, not so much in by
itself (which has received a great deal of attention in the past several years)
but in the forward-backward asymmetry together with . The two
are of course correlated. We explore the possibilty that these and other
effects are due to the mixing of and with one or more heavy quarks.Comment: 11 pages, 1 Figure, LaTex fil
Doubly heavy baryon production at polarized photon collider
We study the inclusive production of doubly heavy baryon at
polarized photon collider. Our results show that proper choice of the initial
beam polarizations may increase the production rate of approximately
10%.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
