Resonant enhancement of ultracold photoassociation rate by electric field induced anisotropic interaction
We study the effects of a static electric field on the photoassociation of a
heteronuclear atom-pair into a polar molecule. The interaction of permanent
dipole moment with a static electric field largely affects the ground state
continuum wave function of the atom-pair at short separations where
photoassociation transitions occur according to Franck-Condon principle.
Electric field induced anisotropic interaction between two heteronuclear ground
state atoms leads to scattering resonances at some specific electric fields.
Near such resonances the amplitude of scattering wave function at short
separation increases by several orders of magnitude. As a result,
photoaasociation rate is enhanced by several orders of magnitude near the
resonances. We discuss in detail electric field modified atom-atom scattering
properties and resonances. We calculate photoassociation rate that shows giant
enhancement due to electric field tunable anisotropic resonances. We present
selected results among which particularly important are the excitations of
higher rotational levels in ultracold photoassociation due to electric field
tunable resonances.Comment: 14 pages,9 figure
Finite temperature effects in light scattering off Cooper-paired Fermi atoms
We study stimulated light scattering off a superfluid Fermi gas of atoms at
finite temperature. We derive response function that takes into account vertex
correction due to final state interactions; and analyze finite temperature
effects on collective and quasiparticle excitations of a uniform superfluid
Fermi gas. Light polarization is shown to play an important role in
excitations. Our results suggest that it is possible to excite
Bogoliubov-Anderson phonon at a large scattering length by light scattering.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, Accepted in J. Phys. B: At. Mol. & Opt. Phy
Dynamic Multi-Objective Optimization With jMetal and Spark: a Case Study
Technologies for Big Data and Data Science are receiving increasing research interest nowadays. This paper introduces the prototyping architecture of a tool aimed to solve Big Data Optimization problems. Our tool combines the jMetal framework for multi-objective optimization with Apache Spark, a technology that is gaining momentum. In particular, we make use of the streaming facilities of Spark to feed an optimization problem with data from different sources. We demonstrate the use of our tool by solving a dynamic bi-objective instance of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) based on near real-time traffic data from New York City, which is updated several times per minute. Our experiment shows that both jMetal and Spark can be integrated providing a software platform to deal with dynamic multi-optimization problems.Universidad de Málaga.

Manned Mars Explorer project: Guidelines for a manned mission to the vicinity of Mars using Phobos as a staging outpost; schematic vehicle designs considering chemical and nuclear electric propulsion
The Manned Mars Explorer (MME) project responds to the fundamental problems of sending human beings to Mars in a mission scenario and schematic vehicle designs. The mission scenario targets an opposition class Venus inbound swingby for its trajectory with concentration on Phobos and/or Deimos as a staging base for initial and future Mars vicinity operations. Optional vehicles are presented as a comparison using nuclear electric power/propulsion technology. A Manned Planetary Vehicle and Crew Command Vehicle are used to accomplish the targeted mission. The Manned Planetary Vehicle utilizes the mature technology of chemical propulsion combined with an advanced aerobrake, tether and pressurized environment system. The Crew Command Vehicle is the workhorse of the mission performing many different functions including a manned Mars landing, and Phobos rendezvous
Signature of strong atom-cavity interaction on critical coupling
We study a critically coupled cavity doped with resonant atoms with
metamaterial slabs as mirrors. We show how resonant atom-cavity interaction can
lead to a splitting of the critical coupling dip. The results are explained in
terms of the frequency and lifetime splitting of the coupled system.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Tests of Independence in Separable Econometric Models: Theory and Application
A common stochastic restriction in econometric models separable in the latent variables is the assumption of stochastic independence between the unobserved and observed exogenous variables. Both simple and composite tests of this assumption are derived from properties of independence empirical processes and the consistency of these tests is established. As an application, we simulate estimation of a random quasilinear utility function, where we apply our tests of independence.Cramer-von Mises distance, Empirical independence processes, Random utility models, Semiparametric econometric models, Specification test of independence
