Spectrum of Radiation from Rough Surfaces
Radiation from a charged particle travelling parallel to a rough surface has
been considered. Spectral-angular intensity is calculated in the weak
scattering regime. It is shown that the main contribution to the radiation
intensity is determined by the multiple scattering of polaritons induced by a
charge on the surface. Multiple scattering effects lead to strong frequency
dependence of radiation intensity. Possible applications in beam and surface
diagnostics are discussed.Comment: submitted to Europhys.Let
Exclusive W + photon production in proton-antiproton collisions I: general formalism
We present a detailed computation of the fully exclusive cross section of p +
antip --> W + photon + X with X = 0 and 1 jet in the framework of the
factorization theorem and dimensional regularization. Order alpha-strong and
photon bremsstrahlung contributions are discussed in the MS-bar mass
factorization scheme. The resulting expressions are ready to be implemented
numerically using Monte Carlo techniques to compute single and double
differential cross sections and correlations between outgoing pairs of
particles.Comment: ITP-SB-93-72, 40 pages, LateX. 3*4 figures in separate file.

Abelian Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effects
It is shown that the high-energy expansion of the scattering amplitude
calculated from Feynman diagrams factorizes in such a way that it can be
reduced to the eikonalized form up to the terms of inverse power in energy in
accordance with results obtained by solving the Klein-Gordon equation.
Therefore the two approaches when applied to the suppression of the emission of
soft photons by fast charged particles in dense matter should give rise to the
same results. A particular limit of thin targets is briefly discussed.Comment: 14 pages, LATEX, 1 Fig. ps, submitted to Mod. Phys. Lett.
Coherent Bremsstrahlung in Imperfect Periodic Atomic Structures
Coherent bremsstrahlung of high energy electrons moving in a
three-dimensional imperfect periodic lattice consisting of a complicated system
of atoms is considered. On the basis of the normalized probability density
function of the distribution of atomic centers in the fundamental cell the
relations describing coherent and incoherent contributions into cross sections
are obtained. In particular, the cross section of coherent bremsstrahlung in
complex polyatomic single crystals is found.
The peculiarities of formation and possibilities of utilization of coherent
processes are discussed.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Radiative energy loss of high energy quarks and gluons in a finite volume quark-gluon plasma
The medium induced energy loss spectrum of a high energy quark or gluon
traversing a hot QCD medium of finite volume is studied. We model the
interaction by a simple picture of static scattering centres. The total induced
energy loss is found to grow as , where is the extent of the medium.
The solution of the energy loss problem is reduced to the solution of a
Schr\"odinger-like equation whose ``potential'' is given by the
single-scattering cross section of the high energy parton in the medium. These
resuls should be directly applicable to a quark-gluon plasma.Comment: 29 pages, LaTeX2e, 43 figure
Coherent pair production in deformed crystals with a complex base
We investigate the coherent electron-positron pair creation by high-energy
photons in a periodically deformed single crystal with a complex base. The
formula for the corresponding differential cross-section is derived for an
arbitrary deformation field. The conditions are specified under which the
influence of the deformation is considerable. The case is considered in detail
when the photon enters into the crystal at small angles with respect to a
crystallographic axis. The results of the numerical calculations are presented
for single crystal and Moliere parametrization of the
screened atomic potentials in the case of the deformation field generated by
the acoustic wave of type. In dependence of the parameters, the presence of
deformation can either enhance or reduce the pair creation cross-section. This
can be used to control the parameters of the positron sources for storage rings
and colliders.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, misprint in the numerical coefficients in figure

SUSY Magnetic Moments Sum Rules and Supersymmetry Breaking
It was recently shown that unbroken N=1 Susy relates, in a model independent
way, the magnetic transitions between states of different spin within a given
charged massive supermultiplet. We verify explicitly these sum rules for a
vector multiplet in the case of massless and massive fermions. The purpose of
this analysis is to provide the ground for the broken susy case. We study the
modifications of these results when an explicit soft Susy breaking realized
through a universal mass for all scalars is present. As a by-product we provide
a computation of the of the boson in the standard model which
corrects previous evaluations in the literature.Comment: 16+5 pages, Latex,(feynman.tex to print the figures), DFPD 94/TH/2
Observation of Resonant Diffusive Radiation in Random Multilayered Systems
Diffusive Radiation is a new type of radiation predicted to occur in randomly
inhomogeneous media due to the multiple scattering of pseudophotons. This
theoretical effect is now observed experimentally. The radiation is generated
by the passage of electrons of energy 200KeV-2.2MeV through a random stack of
films in the visible light region. The radiation intensity increases resonantly
provided the Cherenkov condition is satisfied for the average dielectric
constant of the medium. The observed angular dependence and electron resonance
energy are in agreement with the theoretical predictions. These observations
open a road to application of diffusive radiation in particle detection,
astrophysics, soft X-ray generation and etc.. `Comment: 4pages, 4figure
Reactor monitoring and safeguards using antineutrino detectors
Nuclear reactors have served as the antineutrino source for many fundamental
physics experiments. The techniques developed by these experiments make it
possible to use these very weakly interacting particles for a practical
purpose. The large flux of antineutrinos that leaves a reactor carries
information about two quantities of interest for safeguards: the reactor power
and fissile inventory. Measurements made with antineutrino detectors could
therefore offer an alternative means for verifying the power history and
fissile inventory of a reactors, as part of International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) and other reactor safeguards regimes. Several efforts to develop this
monitoring technique are underway across the globe.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, Proceedings of XXIII International Conference on

Experimental Observation of Energy Modulation in Electron Beams Passing Through Terahertz Dielectric Wakefield Structures
We report observation of a strong wakefield induced energy modulation in an
energy-chirped electron bunch passing through a dielectric-lined waveguide.
This modulation can be effectively converted into a spatial modulation forming
micro-bunches with a periodicity of 0.5 - 1 picosecond, hence capable of
driving coherent THz radiation. The experimental results agree well with
theoretical predictions.Comment: v3. Reviewers' suggestions incorporated. Accepted by PR
