Algebraic Model for scattering in three-s-cluster systems. I. Theoretical Background
A framework to calculate two-particle matrix elements for fully
antisymmetrized three-cluster configurations is presented. The theory is
developed for a scattering situation described in terms of the Algebraic Model.
This means that the nuclear many-particle state and its asymptotic behaviour
are expanded in terms of oscillator states of the intra-cluster coordinates.
The Generating Function technique is used to optimize the calculation of matrix
elements. In order to derive the dynamical equations, a multichannel version of
the Algebraic Model is presented.Comment: 20 pages, 1 postscript figure, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Study of the mechanism for solar wind formation
Observations of the corona and solar wind are analyzed and compared with generalized results derived from laboratory-scale experiments. It was shown that a thermal pressure gradient can make a major contribution to a precipitating plasma of the solar wind emanating from coronal holes. It is found that the divergence Phi = (R/R sub solar radius)f of the magnetic field lines, originating from coronal holes, is one of the factors governing solar wind velocity at Earth orbit (R= 1 AU). A decrease in the velocity V sub R = 1 AU from approx = 750 mk/sec down to approx = 450 km/sec may be attributable to an increase in superradial divergence f from approx = 7-9 to 20. The plasma energy flux density F at the base of the coronal holes representing the sources of the solar wind with V sub R=1AE = (450 to 750) km/sec, remains nearly constant, being F approx = (1.4 +/- 0.3) x 10 to the 6th power x ergs/sq cm/sec for the period 1973-1975
Quantum Fluctuations in Josephson Junction Comparators
We have developed a method for calculation of quantum fluctuation effects, in
particular of the uncertainty zone developing at the potential curvature sign
inversion, for a damped harmonic oscillator with arbitrary time dependence of
frequency and for arbitrary temperature, within the Caldeira-Leggett model. The
method has been applied to the calculation of the gray zone width Delta Ix of
Josephson-junction balanced comparators driven by a specially designed
low-impedance RSFQ circuit. The calculated temperature dependence of Delta Ix
in the range 1.5 to 4.2K is in a virtually perfect agreement with experimental
data for Nb-trilayer comparators with critical current densities of 1.0 and 5.5
kA/cm^2, without any fitting parameters.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Physical Review Letter
