Electron-hydrogen scattering in Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equation approach

Electron-hydrogen scattering is studied in the Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equation approach. The equations are solved by using the Coulomb-Sturmian separable expansion technique. We present $S$- and $P$-wave scattering and reactions cross sections up to the $H(n=4)$ threshold.Comment: 2 eps figure

Series of broad resonances in atomic three-body systems

We re-examine the series of resonances found earlier in atomic three-body systems by solving the Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations. These resonances are rather broad and line-up at each threshold with gradually increasing gaps, the same way for all thresholds and irrespective of the spatial symmetry. We relate these resonances to the Gailitis mechanism, which is a consequence of the polarization potential.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:0810.303

Gluon GPDs and Exclusive Photoproduction of a Quarkonium in Forward Region

Forward photoproduction of $J/\psi$ can be used to extract Generalized Parton Distributions(GPD's) of gluons. We analyze the process at twist-3 level and study relevant classifications of twist-3 gluon GPD's. At leading power or twist-2 level the produced $J/\psi$ is transversely polarized. We find that at twist-3 the produced $J/\psi$ is longitudinally polarized. Our study shows that in high energy limit the twist-3 amplitude is only suppressed by the inverse power of the heavy quark mass relatively to the twist-2 amplitude. This indicates that the power correction to the cross-section of unpolarized $J/\psi$ can have a sizeable effect. We have also derived the amplitude of the production of $h_c$ at twist-3, but the result contains end-point singularities. The production of other quarkonia has been briefly discussed.Comment: Discussions of results are adde

Evidence for electron-phonon interaction in Fe1−x_{1-x}Mx_{x}Sb2_{2} (M=Co, Cr) single crystals

We have measured polarized Raman scattering spectra of the Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$Sb$_{2}$ and Fe$_{1-x}$Cr$_{x}$Sb$_{2}$ (0$\leq x\leq$0.5) single crystals in the temperature range between 15 K and 300 K. The highest energy $B_{1g}$ symmetry mode shows significant line asymmetry due to phonon mode coupling width electronic background. The coupling constant achieves the highest value at about 40 K and after that it remains temperature independent. Origin of additional mode broadening is pure anharmonic. Below 40 K the coupling is drastically reduced, in agreement with transport properties measurements. Alloying of FeSb$_2$ with Co and Cr produces the B$_{1g}$ mode narrowing, i.e. weakening of the electron-phonon interaction. In the case of A$_{g}$ symmetry modes we have found a significant mode mixing
