Variational separable expansion scheme for two-body Coulomb-scattering problems
We present a separable expansion approximation method for Coulomb-like
potentials which is based on Schwinger variational principle and uses
Coulomb-Sturmian functions as basis states. The new scheme provides faster
convergence with respect to our formerly used non-variational approach.Comment: some typos correcte
Electron-hydrogen scattering in Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equation approach
Electron-hydrogen scattering is studied in the Faddeev-Merkuriev integral
equation approach. The equations are solved by using the Coulomb-Sturmian
separable expansion technique. We present - and -wave scattering and
reactions cross sections up to the threshold.Comment: 2 eps figure
Faddeev-Merkuriev equations for resonances in three-body Coulombic systems
We reconsider the homogeneous Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations for
three-body Coulombic systems with attractive Coulomb interactions and point out
that the resonant solutions are contaminated with spurious resonances. The
spurious solutions are related to the splitting of the attractive Coulomb
potential into short- and long-range parts, which is inherent in the approach,
but arbitrary to some extent. By varying the parameters of the splitting the
spurious solutions can easily be ruled out. We solve the integral equations by
using the Coulomb-Sturmian separable expansion approach. This solution method
provides an exact description of the threshold phenomena. We have found several
new S-wave resonances in the e- e+ e- system in the vicinity of thresholds.Comment: LaTeX with elsart.sty 13 pages, 5 figure
Multifragmentation calculated with relativistic force
A saturating hamiltonian is presented in a relativistically covariant
formalism. The interaction is described by scalar and vector mesons, with
coupling strengths adjusted to the nuclear matter. No explicit density depe
ndence is assumed. The hamiltonian is applied in a QMD calculation to determine
the fragment distribution in O + Br collision at different energies (50 -- 200
MeV/u) to test the applicability of the model at low energies. The results are
compared with experiment and with previous non-relativistic calculations.

Resonant-state solution of the Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations for three-body systems with Coulomb potentials
A novel method for calculating resonances in three-body Coulombic systems is
proposed. The Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations are solved by applying the
Coulomb-Sturmian separable expansion method. The S-state
resonances up to threshold are calculated.Comment: 6 pages, 2 ps figure
Instabilities in Nuclei
The evolution of dynamical perturbations is examined in nuclear
multifragmentation in the frame of Vlasov equation. Both plane wave and bubble
type of perturbations are investigated in the presence of surface (Yukawa)
forces. An energy condition is given for the allowed type of instabilities and
the time scale of the exponential growth of the instabilities is calculated.
The results are compared to the mechanical spinodal region predictions. PACS:

Jets and produced particles in pp collisions from SPS to RHIC energies for nuclear applications
Higher-order pQCD corrections play an important role in the reproduction of
data at high transverse momenta in the energy range 20 GeV GeV. Recent calculations of photon and pion production in collisions
yield detailed information on the next-to-leading order contributions. However,
the application of these results in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus
collisions is not straightforward. The study of nuclear effects requires a
simplified understanding of the output of these computations. Here we summarize
our analysis of recent calculations, aimed at handling the NLO results by
introducing process and energy-dependent factors.Comment: 4 pages with 5 eps figures include
Continued fraction representation of the Coulomb Green's operator and unified description of bound, resonant and scattering states
If a quantum mechanical Hamiltonian has an infinite symmetric tridiagonal
(Jacobi) matrix form in some discrete Hilbert-space basis representation, then
its Green's operator can be constructed in terms of a continued fraction. As an
illustrative example we discuss the Coulomb Green's operator in
Coulomb-Sturmian basis representation. Based on this representation, a quantum
mechanical approximation method for solving Lippmann-Schwinger integral
equations can be established, which is equally applicable for bound-, resonant-
and scattering-state problems with free and Coulombic asymptotics as well. The
performance of this technique is illustrated with a detailed investigation of a
nuclear potential describing the interaction of two particles.Comment: 7 pages, 4 ps figures, revised versio
