Role of low- component in deformed wave functions near the continuum threshold
The structure of deformed single-particle wave functions in the vicinity of
zero energy limit is studied using a schematic model with a quadrupole deformed
finite square-well potential. For this purpose, we expand the single-particle
wave functions in multipoles and seek for the bound state and the Gamow
resonance solutions. We find that, for the states, where is
the -component of the orbital angular momentum, the probability of each
multipole components in the deformed wave function is connected between the
negative energy and the positive energy regions asymptotically, although it has
a discontinuity around the threshold. This implies that the
resonant level exists physically unless the component is inherently large
when extrapolated to the well bound region. The dependence of the multipole
components on deformation is also discussed
The Coulomb Sum and Proton-Proton Correlations in Few-Body Nuclei
In simple models of the nuclear charge operator, measurements of the Coulomb
sum and the charge form factor of a nucleus directly determine the
proton-proton correlations. We examine experimental results obtained for
few-body nuclei at Bates and Saclay using models of the charge operator that
include both one- and two-body terms. Previous analyses using one-body terms
only have failed to reproduce experimental results. However, we find that the
same operators which have been used to successfully describe the charge form
factors also produce substantial agreement with measurements of the Coulomb
sum.Comment: 11 pages, Revtex version 3.0 with 3 Postscript figures appended, ANL

Relativistic Effects in the Electromagnetic Current at GeV Energies
We employ a recent approach to the non-relativistic reduction of the
electromagnetic current operator in calculations of electronuclear reactions.
In contrast to the traditional scheme, where approximations are made for the
transferred momentum, transferred energy and initial momentum of the struck
nucleon in obtaining an on-shell inspired form for the current, we treat the
problem exactly for the transferred energy and transferred momentum. We
calculate response functions for the reaction at CEBAF (TJNAF)
energies and find large relativistic corrections. We also show that in Plane
Wave Impulse Approximation, it is always possible to use the full operator, and
we present a comparison of such a limiting case with the results incorporating
relativistic effects to the first order in the initial momentum of the struck
nucleon.Comment: 31 pages, 8 figures, Revte
Transmission Properties of the oscillating delta-function potential
We derive an exact expression for the transmission amplitude of a particle
moving through a harmonically driven delta-function potential by using the
method of continued-fractions within the framework of Floquet theory. We prove
that the transmission through this potential as a function of the incident
energy presents at most two real zeros, that its poles occur at energies
(), and that the
poles and zeros in the transmission amplitude come in pairs with the distance
between the zeros and the poles (and their residue) decreasing with increasing
energy of the incident particle. We also show the existence of non-resonant
"bands" in the transmission amplitude as a function of the strength of the
potential and the driving frequency.Comment: 21 pages, 12 figures, 1 tabl
Neutron charge radius and the Dirac equation
We consider the Dirac equation for a finite-size neutron in an external
electric field. We explicitly incorporate Dirac-Pauli form factors into the
Dirac equation. After a non-relativistic reduction, the Darwin-Foldy term is
cancelled by a contribution from the Dirac form factor, so that the only
coefficient of the external field charge density is , i. e. the
root mean square radius associated with the electric Sachs form factor . Our
result is similar to a recent result of Isgur, and reconciles two apparently
conflicting viewpoints about the use of the Dirac equation for the description
of nucleons.Comment: 7 pages, no figures, to appear in Physical Review
Quark-hadron duality in a relativistic, confining model
Quark-hadron duality is an interesting and potentially very useful
phenomenon, as it relates the properly averaged hadronic data to a perturbative
QCD result in some kinematic regions. While duality is well established
experimentally, our current theoretical understanding is still incomplete. We
employ a simple model to qualitatively reproduce all the features of
Bloom-Gilman duality as seen in electron scattering. In particular, we address
the role of relativity, give an explicit analytic proof of the equality of the
hadronic and partonic scaling curves, and show how the transition from coherent
to incoherent scattering takes place.Comment: This paper is dedicated to the memory of our collaborator Nathan
Isgur. (34 pages, 13 figures
Model Calculations for the Two-Fragment Electro-Disintegration of He
Differential cross sections for the electro-disintegration process are calculated, using a model in which
the final state interaction is included by means of a nucleon-nucleus (3+1)
potential constructed via Marchenko inversion. The required bound-state wave
functions are calculated within the integrodifferential equation approach
(IDEA). In our model the important condition that the initial bound state and
the final scattering state are orthogonal is fulfilled. The sensitivity of the
cross section to the input interaction in certain kinematical regions
is investigated. The approach adopted could be useful in reactions involving
few cluster systems where effective interactions are not well known and exact
methods are presently unavailable. Although, our Plane-Wave Impulse
Approximation results exhibit, similarly to other calculations, a dip in the
five-fold differential cross-section around a missing momentum of , it is argued that this is an artifact of the omission of re-scattering
four-nucleon processes.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figures, accepted for publication by Phys.Rev.
Privaros: A Framework for Privacy-Compliant Delivery Drones
We present Privaros, a framework to enforce privacy policies on drones.
Privaros is designed for commercial delivery drones, such as the ones that will
likely be used by Amazon Prime Air. Such drones visit a number of host
airspaces, each of which may have different privacy requirements. Privaros
provides an information flow control framework to enforce the policies of these
hosts on the guest delivery drones. The mechanisms in Privaros are built on top
of ROS, a middleware popular in many drone platforms. This paper presents the
design and implementation of these mechanisms, describes how policies are
specified, and shows that Privaros's policy specification can be integrated
with India's Digital Sky portal. Our evaluation shows that a drone running
Privaros can robustly enforce various privacy policies specified by hosts, and
that its core mechanisms only marginally increase communication latency and
power consumption
