Studies of the nucler equation of state using numerical calculations of nuclear drop collisions
A numerical calculation for the full thermal dynamics of colliding nuclei was developed. Preliminary results are reported for the thermal fluid dynamics in such processes as Coulomb scattering, fusion, fusion-fission, bulk oscillations, compression with heating, and collisions of heated nuclei
Gauge Invariance in Chern-Simons Systems
We show explicitly that the question of gauge invariance of the effective
potential in standard scalar electrodynamics remains unchanged despite the
introduction of the Chern-Simons term. The result does not depend on the
presence of the Maxwell term in the Chern-Simons territory.Comment: 10 pages, Plain Tex, DF/UFPB-14/9
Gauge Formulation of the Spinning Black Hole in (2+1)-Dimensional Anti-de Sitter Space
We compute the group element of SO(2,2) associated with the spinning black
hole found by Ba\~nados, Teitelboim and Zanelli in (2+1)-dimensional anti-de
Sitter space-time. We show that their metric is built with SO(2,2) gauge
invariant quantities and satisfies Einstein's equations with negative
cosmological constant everywhere except at . Moreover, although the metric
is singular on the horizons, the group element is continuous and possesses a
kink there.Comment: 10 page

The Peierls substitution in an engineered lattice potential
Artificial gauge fields open new possibilities to realize quantum many-body
systems with ultracold atoms, by engineering Hamiltonians usually associated
with electronic systems. In the presence of a periodic potential, artificial
gauge fields may bring ultracold atoms closer to the quantum Hall regime. Here,
we describe a one-dimensional lattice derived purely from effective
Zeeman-shifts resulting from a combination of Raman coupling and radiofrequency
magnetic fields. In this lattice, the tunneling matrix element is generally
complex. We control both the amplitude and the phase of this tunneling
parameter, experimentally realizing the Peierls substitution for ultracold
neutral atoms.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
A/r/cography: art, research and communication
This article aims at establishing the foundations for a/r/cography as an âart and communicationâ-based research methodology, inspired by a/r/tography yet more encompassing, and particularly suitable for the digital art world. As part of the larger family of practice-based research methodologies, a/r/tography presents various ways through which it can be explored, but since it is aimed at the arts and education, its scope is forcibly hampered by the fact that not all researchers and art practitioners are necessarily teachers. However, since most of its underlying principles can be extended for non-teachers, thus arose the idea to propose a methodology that would retain ontological, epistemological and methodological assumptions, but would expand beyond the limitations imposed by the role of the teacher. This extension is called a/r/cography and is structured upon the interchangeable roles of artist, researcher and communicator, as being intrinsic to the underlying living inquiry processes. Furthermore, this proposal is supported by the authorâs own experience from a/r/cographic processes in the creation, exhibition and communication of digital artworks.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Monolithic InP-Based Grating Spectrometer for Wavelength-Division Multiplexed Systems at 1.5 ÎŒm
A monolithic InP-based grating spectrometer for use in wavelength-division multiplexed systems at 1.5 ÎŒm is reported.
The spectrometer uses a single etched reflective focusing diffraction grating and resolves >50 channels at 1 nm spacing with a ~0.3nm channel width and at least 19dB channel isolation. Operation is essentially of the state of the input polarisation
