Supersymmetrization of the Radiation Damping
We construct a supersymmetrized version of the model to the radiation damping
\cite{03} introduced by the present authors \cite{ACWF}. We dicuss its
symmetries and the corresponding conserved Noether charges. It is shown this
supersymmetric version provides a supersymmetric generalization of the Galilei
algebra obtained in \cite{ACWF}. We have shown that the supersymmetric action
can be splited into dynamically independent external and internal sectors.Comment: 9 page
Rapid spectral and flux time variations in a solar burst observed at various dm-mm wavelengths and at hard X-rays
A solar burst was observed with high sensitivity and time resolution at cm-mm wavelengths by two different radio observatories (Itapetinga and Algonquin), with high spectral time resolution at dm-mm wavelengths by patrol instruments (Sagamore Hill), and at hard X-rays (HXM Hinotori). At the onset of the major burst time structure there was a rapid rise in the spectral turnover frequency (from 5 to 15 GHz), in about 10s, coincident to a reduction of the spectral index in the optically thin part of the spectrum. The burst maxima were not time coincident at the optically thin radio frequencies and at the different hard X-ray energy ranges. The profiles at higher radio frequencies exhibited better time coincidence to the high energy X-rays. The hardest X-ray spectrum (-3) coincided with peak radio emission at the higher frequency (44 GHz). The event appeared to be built up by a first major injection of softer particles followed by other injections of harder particles. Ultrafast time structures were identified as superimposed on the burst emission at the cm-mm high sensitivity data at X-rays, with predominant repetition rates ranging from 2.0 to 3.5 Hz
A New Approach to Canonical Quantization of the Radiation Damping
Inspired in some works about quantization of dissipative systems, in
particular of the damped harmonic oscillator\cite{MB,RB,12}, we consider the
dissipative system of a charge interacting with its own radiation, which
originates the radiation damping (RD). Using the indirect Lagrangian
representation we obtained a Lagrangian formalism with a Chern-Simons-like
term. A Hamiltonian analysis is also done, what leads to the quantization of
the system.Comment: 5 page
Noncommutative Metafluid Dynamics
In this paper we define a noncommutative (NC) Metafluid Dynamics
\cite{Marmanis}. We applied the Dirac's quantization to the Metafluid Dynamics
on NC spaces. First class constraints were found which are the same obtained in
\cite{BJP}. The gauge covariant quantization of the non-linear equations of
fields on noncommutative spaces were studied. We have found the extended
Hamiltonian which leads to equations of motion in the gauge covariant form. In
addition, we show that a particular transformation \cite{Djemai} on the usual
classical phase space (CPS) leads to the same results as of the
-deformation with . Besides, we will shown that an additional
term is introduced into the dissipative force due the NC geometry. This is an
interesting feature due to the NC nature induced into model.Comment: 11 page
Metafluid dynamics as a gauge field theory
In this paper, the analog of Maxwell electromagnetism for hydrodynamic turbulence, the metafluid dynamics, is extended in order to reformulate the metafluid dynamics as a gauge field theory. That analogy opens up the possibility to investigate this theory as a constrained system. Having this possibility in mind, we propose a Lagrangian to describe this new theory of turbulence and, subsequently, analyze it from the symplectic point of view. From this analysis, a hidden gauge symmetry is revealed, providing a clear interpretation and meaning of the physics behind the metafluid theory. Also, the geometrical interpretation to the gauge symmetries is discussed.
Statics and Dynamics of an Interface in a Temperature Gradient
The response and nonconserved dynamics of a two-phase interface in the
presence of a temperature gradient oriented normally to the interface are
considered. Two types of boundary conditions on the order parameter are
considered, and the structure of the effective free energy and the Langevin
equation for the collective coordinate specifying the interface position are
analyzed.Comment: 15 pages, Revtex 3.0, 5 figures available upon reques
Observation of enhanced transmission for s-polarized light through a subwavelength slit
Enhanced optical transmission (EOT) through subwavelength apertures is
usually obtained for p-polarized light. The present study experimentally
investigates EOT for s-polarized light. A subwavelength slit surrounded on each
side by periodic grooves has been fabricated in a gold film and covered by a
thin dielectric layer. The excitation of s-polarized dielectric waveguide modes
inside the dielectric film strongly increases the s-polarized transmission.
Transmission measurements are compared with a coupled mode model and show good
qualitative agreement. Adding a waveguide can improve light transmission
through subwavelength apertures, as both s and p-polarization can be
efficiently transmitted.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Applied Physics Letter
