Fractal templates in the escape dynamics of trapped ultracold atoms
We consider the dynamic escape of a small packet of ultracold atoms launched
from within an optical dipole trap. Based on a theoretical analysis of the
underlying nonlinear dynamics, we predict that fractal behavior can be seen in
the escape data. This data would be collected by measuring the time-dependent
escape rate for packets launched over a range of angles. This fractal pattern
is particularly well resolved below the Bose-Einstein transition temperature--a
direct result of the extreme phase space localization of the condensate. We
predict that several self-similar layers of this novel fractal should be
measurable and we explain how this fractal pattern can be predicted and
analyzed with recently developed techniques in symbolic dynamics.Comment: 11 pages with 5 figure
Random quantum channels I: graphical calculus and the Bell state phenomenon
This paper is the first of a series where we study quantum channels from the
random matrix point of view. We develop a graphical tool that allows us to
compute the expected moments of the output of a random quantum channel. As an
application, we study variations of random matrix models introduced by Hayden
\cite{hayden}, and show that their eigenvalues converge almost surely. In
particular we obtain for some models sharp improvements on the value of the
largest eigenvalue, and this is shown in a further work to have new
applications to minimal output entropy inequalities.Comment: Several typos were correcte
Derivation of the Gauge Link in Light Cone Gauge
In light cone gauge, a gauge link at light cone infinity is necessary for
transverse momentum-dependent parton distribution to restore the gauge
invariance in some specific boundary conditions. We derive such transverse
gauge link in a more regular and general method. We find the gauge link at
light cone infinity naturally arises from the contribution of the pinched
poles: one is from the quark propagator and the other is hidden in the gauge
vector field in light cone gauge. Actually, in the amplitude level, we have
obtained a more general gauge link over the hypersurface at light cone infinity
which is beyond the transverse direction. The difference of such gauge link
between semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan processes can
also be obtained directly and clearly in our derivation.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures, published versio
Nonlinearity of vacuum reggeons and exclusive diffractive production of vector mesons at HERA
The processes of exclusive photo- and electroproduction of vector mesons
(770), (1020) and (3096) at collision energies and transferred momenta squared are considered in
the framework of a phenomenological Regge-eikonal scheme with nonlinear Regge
trajectories in which their QCD asymptotic behavior is taken into account
explicitly. By comparison of available experimental data from ZEUS and H1
Collaborations with the model predictions it is demonstrated that corresponding
angular distributions and integrated cross-sections in the above-mentioned
kinematical range can be quantitatively described with use of two -even
vacuum Regge trajectories. These are the "soft" pomeron dominating the high
energy reactions without a hard scale and the "hard" pomeron giving an
essential contribution to photo- and electroproduction of heavy vector mesons
and deeply virtual electroproduction of light vector mesons.Comment: 25 pages, 12 figure
Intrinsic transverse parton momenta in deeply inelastic reactions
Intrinsic transverse parton momenta pT play an important role in the
understanding of azimuthal/spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic
scattering (SIDIS) and the Drell-Yan process (DY). We review and update what is
presently known about pT from these processes. In particular, we address the
question to which extent data support the popular Gauss model for the
pT-distributions. We find that the Gauss model works very well, and observe
that the intrinsic transverse momenta in SIDIS and DY are compatible, which is
a support for the factorization approach. As a byproduct we recover a simple
but practical way of taking into account the energy dependence of
pT-distributions.Comment: 19 pages, 11 figure
Gravireggeons and transplanckian scattering in models with one extra dimension
The inelastic scattering of the brane fields induced by -channel
gravireggeons exchanges in the RS model with a small curvature is
considered, and the imaginary part of the eikonal is analytically calculated.
It is demonstrated that the results can be obtained from the corresponding
formulae previously derived in the ADD model with one extra dimension of the
size by formal replacement . The inelastic
cross section for the scattering of ultra-high neutrino off the nucleon is
numerically estimated for the case TeV, where
is a reduced Planck scale in five warped dimensions.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX2e, 3 eps figure
Renormalization and resummation in finite temperature field theories
Resummation, ie. reorganization of perturbative series, can result in an
inconsistent perturbation theory, unless the counterterms are reorganized in an
appropriate way. In this paper two methods are presented for resummation of
counterterms: one is a direct method where the necessary counterterms are
constructed order by order; the other is a general one, based on
renormalization group arguments. We demonstrate at one hand that, in mass
independent schemes, mass resummation can be performed by gap equations
renormalized prior to the substitution of the resummed mass for its argument.
On the other hand it is shown that any (momentum-independent) form of mass and
coupling constant resummation is compatible with renormalization, and one can
explicitly construct the corresponding counterterms.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, revtex
Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to single-inclusive hadron production in transversely polarized p-p and pbar-p collisions
We present a calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the
partonic cross sections contributing to single-inclusive high-p_T hadron
production in collisions of transversely polarized hadrons. We use a recently
developed projection technique for treating the phase space integrals in the
presence of the cos(2Phi) azimuthal-angular dependence associated with
transverse polarization. Our phenomenological results show that the double-spin
asymmetry A_TT^pi for neutral-pion production is expected to be very small for
polarized pp scattering at RHIC and could be much larger for the proposed
experiments with an asymmetric pbar-p collider at the GSIComment: 7 pages, 5 figure
