On the feasibility of a nuclear exciton laser

Nuclear excitons known from M\"ossbauer spectroscopy describe coherent excitations of a large number of nuclei -- analogous to Dicke states (or Dicke super-radiance) in quantum optics. In this paper, we study the possibility of constructing a laser based on these coherent excitations. In contrast to the free electron laser (in its usual design), such a device would be based on stimulated emission and thus might offer certain advantages, e.g., regarding energy-momentum accuracy. Unfortunately, inserting realistic parameters, the window of operability is probably not open (yet) to present-day technology -- but our design should be feasible in the UV regime, for example.Comment: 7 pages RevTeX, 4 figure

Coherent Schwinger Interaction from Darboux Transformation

The exactly solvable scalar-tensor potential of the four-component Dirac equation has been obtained by the Darboux transformation method. The constructed potential has been interpreted in terms of nucleon-nucleon and Schwinger interactions of neutral particles with lattice sites during their channeling Hamiltonians of a Schwinger type is obtained by means of the Darboux transformation chain. The analitic structure of the Lyapunov function of periodic continuation for each of the Hamiltonians of the family is considered.Comment: 12 pages, Latex, six figures; six sections, one figure adde

Critical Review of Theoretical Models for Anomalous Effects (Cold Fusion) in Deuterated Metals

We briefly summarize the reported anomalous effects in deuterated metals at ambient temperature, commonly known as "Cold Fusion" (CF), with an emphasis on important experiments as well as the theoretical basis for the opposition to interpreting them as cold fusion. Then we critically examine more than 25 theoretical models for CF, including unusual nuclear and exotic chemical hypotheses. We conclude that they do not explain the data.Comment: 51 pages, 4 Figure

Enhancing the efficiency of coherent processing of chaotic signals during the transmission of binary messages using surrogate signals

A method has been proposed for reducing the influence of noise in observations of chaotic carrier during the binary message transmission using the technology of surrogate data generated with due regard for maintaining the signal attractor in phase space. The impact of the correlation of observation noise and its difference from the Gaussian noise on the probability of correct separation of one message bit is analyzed
