On the odd-even staggering of mean square charge radii in the light krypton and strontium region
Recently isotope shifts of Kr and Sr have been measured at the ISOLDE/ CERN mass separator facility by collinear laser spectroscopy. The deduced changes in mean square charge radii reveal sharp transitions in nuclear shape from spherical near the magic neutron number N=50 towards strongly deformed for both the neutron deficient and neutron rich isotopes far from stability. The mean square charge radii of the neutron deficient isotopes exhibit a sign change of the odd-even staggering (OES), i.e. below the neutron number N=46 the radius is systematically larger for the odd-N nuclei than for their even-N neighbours. This is in contrast to the situation of normal OES which is observed for the heavier isotopes. The inversion of the OES is interpreted as an effect of polarization, triggered by the addition of an unpaired neutron and driving the soft even-even core into stable strong deformation
Laser spectroscopy investigation of the nuclear moments and radii of lutetium isotopes
Collinear laser spectroscopy experiments in the LuI transition 5d6s\!^{2} \; ^{2}\!D_{3/2} \rightarrow 5d6s6p \; ^{2}\!D_{3/2} were performed on all lutetium isotopes in the range of Lu. The nuclear spins, magnetic moments and quadrupole moments were determined from the hyperfine structures observed for 19 ground states and 11 isomers. Variations in the mean square charge radii as a function of neutron number were obtained from the isotope shifts. These data considerably extend the systematics of the properties of nuclei in the upper rare-earth region. A particular feature is the appearance of high-spin and low-spin ground states and isomeric states in the vicinity of the stable Lu, partly arising from aligned neutron pairs. The present results clearly show that the deformation properties are nearly independent of the occupancy and the coupling of single-particle states. Theoretical predictions of deformation are confirmed in a consistent description of the measured radii and quadrupole moments. For all observed states, the spins and magnetic moments allow the assignment of rather pure Nilsson configurations
PCT, spin and statistics, and analytic wave front set
A new, more general derivation of the spin-statistics and PCT theorems is
presented. It uses the notion of the analytic wave front set of
(ultra)distributions and, in contrast to the usual approach, covers nonlocal
quantum fields. The fields are defined as generalized functions with test
functions of compact support in momentum space. The vacuum expectation values
are thereby admitted to be arbitrarily singular in their space-time dependence.
The local commutativity condition is replaced by an asymptotic commutativity
condition, which develops generalizations of the microcausality axiom
previously proposed.Comment: LaTeX, 23 pages, no figures. This version is identical to the

Near-field examination of perovskite-based superlenses and superlens-enhanced probe-object coupling
A planar slab of negative index material works as a superlens with
sub-diffraction-limited imaging resolution, since propagating waves are focused
and, moreover, evanescent waves are reconstructed in the image plane. Here, we
demonstrate a superlens for electric evanescent fields with low losses using
perovskites in the mid-infrared regime. The combination of near-field
microscopy with a tunable free-electron laser allows us to address precisely
the polariton modes, which are critical for super-resolution imaging. We
spectrally study the lateral and vertical distributions of evanescent waves
around the image plane of such a lens, and achieve imaging resolution of
wavelength/14 at the superlensing wavelength. Interestingly, at certain
distances between the probe and sample surface, we observe a maximum of these
evanescent fields. Comparisons with numerical simulations indicate that this
maximum originates from an enhanced coupling between probe and object, which
might be applicable for multifunctional circuits, infrared spectroscopy, and
thermal sensors.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figures, published as open access article in Nature

The split property for locally covariant quantum field theories in curved spacetime
The split property expresses the way in which local regions of spacetime define subsystems of a quantum field theory. It is known to hold for general theories in Minkowski space under the hypothesis of nuclearity. Here, the split property is discussed for general locally covariant quantum field theories in arbitrary globally hyperbolic curved spacetimes, using a spacetime deformation argument to transport the split property from one spacetime to another. It is also shown how states obeying both the split and (partial) Reeh–Schlieder properties can be constructed, providing standard split inclusions of certain local von Neumann algebras. Sufficient conditions are given for the theory to admit such states in ultrastatic spacetimes, from which the general case follows. A number of consequences are described, including the existence of local generators for global gauge transformations, and the classification of certain local von Neumann algebras. Similar arguments are applied to the distal split property and circumstances are exhibited under which distal splitting implies the full split property
Aspects of Quantum Gravity in de Sitter Spaces
In these lectures we give a review of recent attempts to understand quantum
gravity on de Sitter spaces. In particular, we discuss the holographic
correspondence between de Sitter gravity and conformal field theories proposed
by Hull and by Strominger, and how this may be reconciled with the
finite-dimensional Hilbert space proposal by Banks and Fischler. Furthermore we
review the no-go theorems that forbid an embedding of de Sitter spaces in
string theory, and discuss how they can be circumvented. Finally, some curious
issues concerning the thermal nature of de Sitter space are elucidated.Comment: 36+1 pages, 5 Postscript figures, introduction and section 6

The Higgs resonance in vector boson scattering
A heavy Higgs resonance is described in a representation-independent way
which is valid for the whole energy range of 2 -> 2 scattering processes,
including the asymptotic behavior at low and high energies. The low-energy
theorems which follow from to the custodial SU_2 symmetry of the Higgs sector
restrict the possible parameterizations of the lineshape that are consistent in
perturbation theory. Matching conditions are specified which are necessary and
sufficient to relate the parameters arising in different expansions. The
construction is performed explicitly up to next-to-leading order.Comment: 25 pages, revtex, uses epsf, amssym
