Left-Right Asymmetry of Weak Interaction Mass of Polarized Fermions in Flight
The left-right polarization-dependent asymmetry of the weak interaction mass
is investigated. Based on the Standard Model, the calculation shows that the
weak interaction mass of left-handed polarized fermions is always greater than
that of right-handed polarized fermions in flight with the same velocity in any
inertial frame. The asymmetry of the weak interaction mass might be very
important to the investigation of neutrino mass and would have an important
significance for understanding the parity nonconservation in weak interactions.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, corrected calculatio

Electromagnetic Scattering and Statistic Analysis of Clutter from Oil Contaminated Sea Surface
In order to investigate the electromagnetic (EM) scattering characteristics of the three dimensional sea surface contaminated by oil, a rigorous numerical method multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is developed to preciously calculate the electromagnetic backscatter from the two-layered oil contaminated sea surface. Illumination window and resistive window are combined together to depress the edge current induced by artificial truncation of the sea surface. By using this combination, the numerical method can get a high efficiency at a less computation cost. The differences between backscatters from clean sea and oil contaminated sea are investigated with respect to various incident angles and sea states. Also, the distribution of the sea clutter is examined for the oil-spilled cases in this paper
Excitation of nonlinear ion acoustic waves in CH plasmas
Excitation of nonlinear ion acoustic wave (IAW) by an external electric field
is demonstrated by Vlasov simulation. The frequency calculated by the
dispersion relation with no damping is verified much closer to the resonance
frequency of the small-amplitude nonlinear IAW than that calculated by the
linear dispersion relation. When the wave number increases,
the linear Landau damping of the fast mode (its phase velocity is greater than
any ion's thermal velocity) increases obviously in the region of in which the fast mode is weakly damped mode. As a result, the deviation
between the frequency calculated by the linear dispersion relation and that by
the dispersion relation with no damping becomes larger with
increasing. When is not large, such as , the nonlinear IAW can be excited by the driver with the linear frequency
of the modes. However, when is large, such as
, the linear frequency can not be applied to exciting the
nonlinear IAW, while the frequency calculated by the dispersion relation with
no damping can be applied to exciting the nonlinear IAW.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures, Accepted by POP, Publication in August 1
Study of the ionic Peierls-Hubbard model using density matrix renormalization group methods
Density matrix renormalization group methods are used to investigate the
quantum phase diagram of a one-dimensional half-filled ionic Hubbard model with
bond-charge attraction, which can be mapped from the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger-type
electron-phonon coupling at the antiadiabatic limit. A bond order wave
(dimerized) phase which separates the band insulator from the Mott insulator
always exists as long as electron-phonon coupling is present. This is
qualitatively different from that at the adiabatic limit. Our results indicate
that electron-electron interaction, ionic potential and quantum phonon
fluctuations combine in the formation of the bond-order wave phase
Experimental tests on the lifetime Asymmetry
The experimental test problem of the left-right polarization-dependent
lifetime asymmetry is discussed. It shows that the existing experiments cannot
demonstrate the lifetime asymmetry to be right or wrong after analyzing the
measurements on the neutron, the muon and the tau lifetime, as well as the
experiment. However, It is pointed out emphatically that the SLD and the
E158 experiments, the measurements of the left-right integrated cross section
asymmetry in boson production by collisions and by
electron-electron M{\o}ller scattering, can indirectly demonstrate the lifetime
asymmetry. In order to directly demonstrate the lifetime asymmetry, we propose
some possible experiments on the decays of polarized muons. The precise
measurement of the lifetime asymmetry could have important significance for
building a muon collider, also in cosmology and astrophysics. It would provide
a sensitive test of the standard model in particle physics and allow for
exploration of the possible interactions.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figur
