Different escape modes in two-photon double ionization of helium
The quadrupole channel of two-photon double ionization of He exhibits two
distinctly different modes of correlated motion of the photoelectron pair. The
mode associated with the center-of-mass motion favors a large total momentum
which is maximazed at a parallel emission. However, the mode associated with
the relative motion favors an antiparallel emission. This difference is
manifested in a profoundly different width of the angular correlation functions
corresponding to the center-of-mass and relative motion modes.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Incoherent quantum feedback control of collective light scattering by Bose-Einstein condensates
It is well known that in the presence of a ring cavity the light scattering
from a uniform atomic ensemble can become unstable resulting in the collective
atomic recoil lasing. This is the result of a positive feedback due to the
cavity. We propose to add an additional electronic feedback loop based on the
photodetection of the scattered light. The advantage is a great flexibility in
choosing the feedback algorithm, since manipulations with electric signals are
very well developed. In this paper we address the application of such a
feedback to atoms in the Bose-Einstein condensed state and explore the quantum
noise due to the incoherent feedback action. We show that although the feedback
based on the photodetection does not change the local stability of the initial
uniform distribution with respect to small disturbances, it reduces the region
of attraction of the uniform equilibrium. The feedback-induced nonlinearity
enables quantum fluctuations to bring the system out of the stability region
and cause an exponential growth even if the uniform state is globally stable
without the feedback. Using numerical solution of the feedback master equation
we show that there is no feedback-induced noise in the quadratures of the
excited atomic and light modes. The feedback loop, however, introduces
additional noise into the number of quanta of these modes. Importantly, the
feedback opens an opportunity to position the modulated BEC inside a cavity as
well as tune the phase of scattered light. This can find applications in
precision measurements and quantum simulations.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure
Diffractive jets production in pp-collisions
We consider the exclusive diffractive dissociation of a proton into three
jets with large transverse momenta in the double-logarithmic approximation of
perturbative QCD. This process is sensitive to the proton unintegrated gluon
distribution at small x and to the proton light-cone distribution amplitudes.
According to our estimates, an observation of such processes in the early runs
at LHC is feasible for jet transverse momenta of the order of 5 GeV.Comment: Presented at International Workshop on Diffraction in High-Energy

NLO Evolution of Color Dipoles in N = 4 SYM
The small- deep inelastic scattering in the saturation region is
governed by the non-linear evolution of Wilson-line operators. In the leading
logarithmic approximation it is given by the BK equation for the evolution of
color dipoles. I discuss recent calculation of the next-to-leading order
evolution of color dipoles in QCD and SYM.Comment: 4 pages, Prepared for the International Workshop on Diffraction in

Exclusive quasielastic production of dijets at hadronic colliders
We critically re-examine the calculation of central production of dijets in
quasi-elastic hadronic collisions. We find that the process is not dominated by
the perturbative contribution, and discuss several sources of uncertainties in
the calculation.Comment: 4 pages, talk given at Diffraction-2008, La Londe-les-Maures, France,

Elastic positronium-atom scattering using the stochastic variational method
The stochastic variational method is used in conjunction with stabilization ideas to compute the low energy phase shifts and scattering lengths for positronium-atom scattering. Results are obtained for the Ps-H, Ps-Li+, Ps-He, and Ps-Ps systems. The Ps-H scattering lengths are probably accurate to better than 5% and are the most accurate so far computed. The results for Ps-Li+ and Ps-Ps scattering represent the first published scattering lengths for these systems. The positive scattering length for completely spin-aligned (3)Ps-(3)Ps scattering, namely 2.95a(o), is particularly significant since it demonstrates the feasibility of forming a stable Bose-Einstein condensate of (3)Ps atoms
Studying the Sivers function by model calculations
A formalism is presented to evaluate the Sivers function in constituent quark
models. A non-relativistic reduction of the scheme is performed and applied to
the Isgur-Karl model. The sign for the and flavor contributions that we
obtained turns out to be opposite. The Burkardt Sum Rule is fulfilled to a
large extent. After the estimate of the QCD evolution of the results from the
momentum scale of the model to the experimental one, a reasonable agreement
with the available data is obtained.Comment: To appear in the proceedings of Diffraction 2008: International

Prompt photon hadroproduction in the k_T-factorization approach
We study the production of prompt photons at high energy in the framework of
the k_T-factorization approach. The amplitude for production of a single photon
associated with quark pair in the fusion of two off-shell gluons is calculated.
Theoretical results are compared with the Tevatron data.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to be published in the Proceedings of Workshop

QCD and total cross-sections: photons and hadrons
In this contribution, we discuss a total cross-section model which can be
applied to both photon and purely hadronic processes. We find that the model
can reproduce photo-production cross-sections, as well as extrapolations of
gamma* p processes to gamma p using vector meson dominance models, with minimal
modifications from the proton case.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, to be published in Proceedings of Diffraction
