Conservative boundary conditions for 3D gas dynamics problems
A method is described for 3D-gas dynamics computer simulation in regions of complicated shape by means of nonadjusted rectangular grids providing unified treatment of various problems. Some test problem computation results are given
Low energy theorem for virtual Compton scattering and generalized sum rules of the nucleon
We formulate the low energy theorem for virtual Compton scattering off a
nucleon and examine its consequences for generalized nucleon polarizabilites.
As a result of a new, model independent definition of the low energy limit for
VVCS reaction, all generalized sum rules of the nucleon have continuous limit
for real photons and obtain contributions from the -channel that were not
included previously.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, revtex
Proton structure corrections to electronic and muonic hydrogen hyperfine splitting
We present a precise determination of the polarizability and other proton
structure dependent contributions to the hydrogen hyperfine splitting, based
heavily on the most recent published data on proton spin dependent structure
functions from the EG1 experiment at the Jefferson Laboratory. As a result, the
total calculated hyperfine splitting now has a standard deviation slightly
under 1 part-per-million, and is about 1 standard deviation away from the
measured value. We also present results for muonic hydrogen hyperfine
splitting, taking care to ensure the compatibility of the recoil and
polarizability terms.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figur
On q-deformed gl(l+1)-Whittaker function II
A representation of a specialization of a q-deformed class one lattice
gl(\ell+1}-Whittaker function in terms of cohomology groups of line bundles on
the space QM_d(P^{\ell}) of quasi-maps P^1 to P^{\ell} of degree d is proposed.
For \ell=1, this provides an interpretation of non-specialized q-deformed
gl(2)-Whittaker function in terms of QM_d(\IP^1). In particular the (q-version
of) Mellin-Barnes representation of gl(2)-Whittaker function is realized as a
semi-infinite period map. The explicit form of the period map manifests an
important role of q-version of Gamma-function as a substitute of topological
genus in semi-infinite geometry. A relation with Givental-Lee universal
solution (J-function) of q-deformed gl(2)-Toda chain is also discussed.Comment: Extended version submitted in Comm. Math. Phys., 24 page
Quantum matter wave dynamics with moving mirrors
When a stationary reflecting wall acting as a perfect mirror for an atomic
beam with well defined incident velocity is suddenly removed, the density
profile develops during the time evolution an oscillatory pattern known as
diffraction in time. The interference fringes are suppressed or their
visibility is diminished by several effects such as averaging over a
distribution of incident velocities, apodization of the aperture function,
atom-atom interactions, imperfect reflection or environmental noise. However,
when the mirror moves with finite velocity along the direction of propagation
of the beam, the visibility of the fringes is enhanced. For mirror velocities
below beam velocity, as used for slowing down the beam, the matter wave splits
into three regions separated by space-time points with classical analogues. For
mirror velocities above beam velocity a visibility enhancement occurs without a
classical counterpart. When the velocity of the beam approaches that of the
mirror the density oscillations rise by a factor 1.8 over the stationary value.Comment: 5.2 pages, 6 figure
A time lens for high resolution neutron time of flight spectrometers
We examine in analytic and numeric ways the imaging effects of temporal
neutron lenses created by traveling magnetic fields. For fields of parabolic
shape we derive the imaging equations, investigate the time-magnification, the
evolution of the phase space element, the gain factor and the effect of finite
beam size. The main aberration effects are calculated numerically. The system
is technologically feasible and should convert neutron time of flight
instruments from pinhole- to imaging configuration in time, thus enhancing
intensity and/or time resolution. New fields of application for high resolution
spectrometry may be opened.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figure
Diffraction in time of a confined particle and its Bohmian paths
Diffraction in time of a particle confined in a box which its walls are
removed suddenly at is studied. The solution of the time-dependent
Schr\"{o}dinger equation is discussed analytically and numerically for various
initial wavefunctions. In each case Bohmian trajectories of the particles are
computed and also the mean arrival time at a given location is studied as a
function of the initial state.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
