Coupled Bose-Einstein condensate: Collapse for attractive interaction
We study the collapse in a coupled Bose-Einstein condensate of two types of
bosons 1 and 2 under the action of a trap using the time-dependent
Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The system may undergo collapse when one, two or
three of the scattering lengths for scattering of boson with ,
, are negative representing an attractive interaction. Depending
on the parameters of the problem a single or both components of the condensate
may experience collapse.Comment: 5 pages and 9 figures, small changes mad
Three-dimensional vortex configurations in a rotating Bose Einstein condensate
We consider a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate in a harmonic trap and
investigate numerically the behavior of the wave function which solves the
Gross Pitaevskii equation. Following recent experiments [Rosenbuch et al, Phys.
Rev. Lett., 89, 200403 (2002)], we study in detail the line of a single
quantized vortex, which has a U or S shape. We find that a single vortex can
lie only in the x-z or y-z plane. S type vortices exist for all values of the
angular velocity Omega while U vortices exist for Omega sufficiently large. We
compute the energy of the various configurations with several vortices and
study the three-dimensional structure of vortices
Ratios of Elastic Scattering of Pions from 3H and 3He
We have measured the elastic-scattering ratios of normalized yields for
charged pions from 3H and 3He in the backward hemisphere. At 180 MeV, we
completed the angular distribution begun with our earlier measurements, adding
six data points in the angular range of 119 deg to 169 deg in the pi-nucleus
center of mass. We also measured an excitation function with data points at
142, 180, 220, and 256 MeV incident pion energy at the largest achievable angle
for each energy between 160 deg and 170 deg in the pi-nucleus center of mass.
This excitation function corresponds to the energies of our forward-hemisphere
studies. The data, taken as a whole, show an apparent role reversal of the two
charge-symmetric ratios r1 and r2 in the backward hemisphere. Also, for data >
100 deg we observe a strong dependence on the four-momentum transfer squared
(-t) for all of the ratios regardless of pion energy or scattering angle, and
we find that the superratio R data match very well with calculations based on
the forward-hemisphere data that predicts the value of the difference between
the even-nucleon radii of 3H and 3He. Comparisons are also made with recent
calculations incorporating different wave functions and double scattering
models.Comment: RevTex 8pages, 12 figure file
Collective dynamics of internal states in a Bose gas
Theory for the Rabi and internal Josephson effects in an interacting Bose gas
in the cold collision regime is presented. By using microscopic transport
equation for the density matrix the problem is mapped onto a problem of
precession of two coupled classical spins. In the absence of an external
excitation field our results agree with the theory for the density induced
frequency shifts in atomic clocks. In the presence of the external field, the
internal Josephson effect takes place in a condensed Bose gas as well as in a
non-condensed gas. The crossover from Rabi oscillations to the Josephson
oscillations as a function of interaction strength is studied in detail.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figure
Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates with Many Vortices
Vortex-lattice structures of antiferromagnetic spinor Bose-Einstein
condensates with hyperfine spin F=1 are investigated theoretically based on the
Ginzburg-Pitaevskii equations near . The Abrikosov lattice with clear
core regions are found {\em never stable} at any rotation drive .
Instead, each component prefers to shift the core
locations from the others to realize almost uniform order-parameter amplitude
with complicated magnetic-moment configurations. This system is characterized
by many competing metastable structures so that quite a variety of vortices may
be realized with a small change in external parameters.Comment: 4 page
Spectral method for the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a harmonic trap
We study the numerical resolution of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii
equation, a non-linear Schroedinger equation used to simulate the dynamics of
Bose-Einstein condensates. Considering condensates trapped in harmonic
potentials, we present an efficient algorithm by making use of a spectral
Galerkin method, using a basis set of harmonic oscillator functions, and the
Gauss-Hermite quadrature. We apply this algorithm to the simulation of
condensate breathing and scissors modes.Comment: 23 pages, 5 figure
Elastic Scattering of Pions From the Three-nucleon System
We examine the scattering of charged pions from the trinucleon system at a
pion energy of 180 MeV. The motivation for this study is the structure seen in
the experimental angular distribution of back-angle scattering for pi+ 3He and
pi- 3H but for neither pi- 3He nor pi+ 3H. We consider the addition of a double
spin flip term to an optical model treatment and find that, though the
contribution of this term is non-negligible at large angles for pi+ 3He and pi-
3H, it does not reproduce the structure seen in the experiment.Comment: 15 pages + 5 figure
Multilayered feed forward Artificial Neural Network model to predict the average summer-monsoon rainfall in India
In the present research, possibility of predicting average summer-monsoon
rainfall over India has been analyzed through Artificial Neural Network models.
In formulating the Artificial Neural Network based predictive model, three
layered networks have been constructed with sigmoid non-linearity. The models
under study are different in the number of hidden neurons. After a thorough
training and test procedure, neural net with three nodes in the hidden layer is
found to be the best predictive model.Comment: 19 pages, 1 table, 3 figure
Charge-Symmetry Violation in Pion Scattering from Three-Body Nuclei
We discuss the experimental and theoretical status of charge-symmetry
violation (CSV) in the elastic scattering of pi+ and pi- on 3H and 3He.
Analysis of the experimental data for the ratios r1, r2, and R at Tpi = 142,
180, 220, and 256 MeV provides evidence for the presence of CSV. We describe
pion scattering from the three-nucleon system in terms of single- and
double-scattering amplitudes. External and internal Coulomb interactions as
well as the Delta-mass splitting are taken into account as sources of CSV.
Reasonable agreement between our theoretical calculations and the experimental
data is obtained for Tpi = 180, 220, and 256 MeV. For these energies, it is
found that the Delta-mass splitting and the internal Coulomb interaction are
the most important contributions for CSV in the three-nucleon system. The CSV
effects are rather sensitive to the choice of pion-nuclear scattering
mechanisms, but at the same time, our theoretical predictions are much less
sensitive to the choice of the nuclear wave function. It is found, however,
that data for r2 and R at Tpi = 142 MeV do not agree with the predictions of
our model, which may indicate that there are additional mechanisms for CSV
which are important only at lower energies.Comment: 26 pages of RevTeX, 16 postscript figure
