Hard x-ray or gamma ray laser by a dense electron beam
A coherent x-ray or gamma ray can be created from a dense electron beam
propagating through an intense laser undulator. It is analyzed by using the
Landau damping theory which suits better than the conventional linear analysis
for the free electron laser, as the electron beam energy spread is high. The
analysis suggests that the currently available physical parameters would enable
the generation of the coherent gamma ray of up to 100 keV. The electron quantum
diffraction suppresses the FEL action, by which the maximum radiation energy to
be generated is limited
Backward Raman compression of x-rays in metals and warm dense matters
Experimentally observed decay rate of the long wavelength Langmuir wave in
metals and dense plasmas is orders of magnitude larger than the prediction of
the prevalent Landau damping theory. The discrepancy is explored, and the
existence of a regime where the forward Raman scattering is stable and the
backward Raman scattering is unstable is examined. The amplification of an
x-ray pulse in this regime, via the backward Raman compression, is
computationally demonstrated, and the optimal pulse duration and intensity is
estimated.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, submitted to PR
Mean Field Theoretical Structure of He and Be Isotopes
The structures of He and Be even-even isotopes are investigated using an
axially symmetric Hartree-Fock approach with a Skyrme-IIIls mean field
potential. In these simple HF calculations, He and Be isotopes appear to be
prolate in their ground states and Be isotopes have oblate shape isomeric
states. It is also shown that there exists a level crossing when the nuclear
shape changes from the prolate state to the oblate state. The single neutron
levels of Be isotopes exhibit a neutron magic number 6 instead of 8 and show
that the level inversion between 1/2- and 1/2+ levels occurs only for a largely
deformed isotope. Protons are bound stronger in the isotope with more neutrons
while neutron levels are somewhat insensitive to the number of neutrons and
thus the nuclear size and also the neutron skin become larger as the neutron
number increases. In these simple calculations with Skyrme-IIIls interaction no
system with a clear indication of neutron halo was found among He and Be
isotopes. Instead of it we have found 8He+2n, 2n+8He+2n, and 16Be+2n like chain
structures with clusters of two correlated neutrons. It is also shown that 8He
and 14Be in their ground states are below the neutron drip line in which all
nucleons are bound with negative energy and that 16Be in its ground state is
beyond the neutron drip line with two neutrons in positive energy levels.Comment: CM energy correction, 1 figure and more discussions adde
Theory of plasmon decay in dense plasmas and warm dense matter
The decay of the Langmuir waves in dense plasmas is not accurately predicted
by the prevalent Landau damping theory. A dielectric function theory is
introduced, predicting much higher damping than the Landau damping theory. This
strong damping is in better agreement with the experimentally observed data in
metals. It is shown that the strong plasmon decay leads to the existence of a
parameter regime where the backward Raman scattering is unstable while the
forward Raman scattering is stable. This regime may be used to create intense
x-ray pulses, by means of the the backward Raman compression. The optimal pulse
duration and intensity is estimated
Higgs bosons of a supersymmetric model at the ILC
We study the scalar Higgs sector of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric
standard model with an extra U(1), which has two Higgs doublets and a Higgs
singlet, in the light leptophobic scenario where the extra neutral gauge
boson does not couple to charged leptons. In this model, we find that the
sum of the squared coupling coefficients of the three neutral scalar Higgs
bosons to , normalized by the corresponding SM coupling coefficient is
noticeably smaller than unity, due to the effect of the extra U(1), for a
reasonable parameter space of the model, whereas it is unity in the
next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. Thus, these two models may be
distinguished if the coupling coefficients of neutral scalar Higgs bosons to
are measured at the future International Linear Collider by producing them
via the Higgs-strahlung, fusion, and fusion processes.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures, 1 table, PR
Note on cosmology of dimensionally reduced gravitational Chern-Simons
We present cosmological solutions from the dimensionally reduced Chern-Simons
term and obtain the smooth transition solution from the decelerated phase (AdS)
to the accelerated phase (dS).Comment: 3 pages, minor changes, references added, version to appear in PR
X-ray Raman compression via two-stream instability in dense plasmas
A Raman compression scheme suitable for x-rays, where the Langmuir wave is
created by an intense beam rather than the pondermotive potential between the
seed and pump pulses, is proposed.
The required intensity of the seed and pump pulses enabling the compression
could be mitigated by more than a factor of 100, compared to conventionally
available other Raman compression schemes. The relevant wavelength of x-rays
ranges from 1 to 10 nm
Infrared Hall conductivity of NaCoO
We report infrared Hall conductivity of
NaCoO thin films determined from Faraday rotation angle
measurements. exhibits two types of hole
conduction, Drude and incoherent carriers. The coherent Drude carrier shows a
large renormalized mass and Fermi liquid-like behavior of Hall scattering rate,
. The spectral weight is suppressed and disappears at T
= 120K. The incoherent carrier response is centered at mid-IR frequency and
shifts to lower energy with increasing T. Infrared Hall constant is positive
and almost independent of temperature in sharp contrast with the dc-Hall
constant.Comment: 5 Pages, 5 Figures. Author list corrected in metadata only, paper is

Land use survey and mapping and water resources investigation in Korea
The author has identified the following significant results. Land use imagery is applicable to land use classification for small scale land use mapping less than 1:250,000. Land use mapping by satellite is more efficient and more cost-effective than land use mapping from conventional medium altitude aerial photographs. Six categories of level 1 land use classification are recognizable from MSS imagery. A hydrogeomorphological study of the Han River basin indicates that band 7 is useful for recognizing the soil and the weathering part of bed rock. The morphological change of the main river is accurately recognized and the drainage system in the area observed is easily classified because of the more or less simple rock type. Although the direct hydrological characteristics are not obtained from the MSS imagery, the indirect information such as the permeability of the soil and the vegetation cover, is helpful in interpreting the hydrological aspects
