Reexamination of a Bound on the Dirac Neutrino Magnetic Moment from the Supernova Neutrino Luminosity
The neutrino helicity-flip process under the conditions of the supernova core
is reinvestigated. Instead of the uniform ball model for the SN core used in
previous analyses, realistic models for radial distributions and time evolution
of physical parameters in the SN core are considered. A new upper bound on the
Dirac neutrino magnetic moment is obtained from the limit on the supernova core
luminosity for nu_R emission.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX, 8 EPS figures, submitted to Int. J. Mod. Phys.
Limitations of PLL simulation: hidden oscillations in MatLab and SPICE
Nonlinear analysis of the phase-locked loop (PLL) based circuits is a
challenging task, thus in modern engineering literature simplified mathematical
models and simulation are widely used for their study. In this work the
limitations of numerical approach is discussed and it is shown that, e.g.
hidden oscillations may not be found by simulation. Corresponding examples in
SPICE and MatLab, which may lead to wrong conclusions concerning the
operability of PLL-based circuits, are presented
