Electrons above a Helium Surface and the One-Dimensional Rydberg Atom

Isolated electrons resting above a helium surface are predicted to have a bound spectrum corresponding to a one-dimensional hydrogen atom. But in fact, the observed spectrum is closer to that of a quantum-defect atom. Such a model is discussed and solved in analytic closed form.Comment: 9 pages.

New York Proposed Code of Evidence: Article V, The Symposium: The New York Proposed Code of Evidence

Article V of the New York Proposed Code of Evidence sets forth the rules of evidentiary privilege. Unlike other articles of the Proposed Code, it differs significantly from its federal counterpart. Article V of the Federal Rules of Evidence consists of only rule 501, which provides that, unless otherwise required by the constitution or federal statute, privileges in federal courts are governed by the principles of the common law as they may be interpreted... in the light of reason and experience. Rule 501 further provides, however, that questions of privilege in civil cases as to which state law supplies the rule of decision will be governed by state law. Thus, an examination of Article V of the New York Proposed Code is useful not only because of its significance in state cases, but also because of its relevance to federal diversity cases
