Influence of Cooper pairing on the inelastic processes in a gas of Fermi atoms
Correlation properties in ultracold Fermi gas with negative scattering length
and its impact on the three-body recombination is analyzed. We find that Cooper
pairing enhances the recombination rate in contrast to the decrease of this
rate accompanying Bose-Einstein condensation in a Bose gas. This trend is
characteristic for all interval of temperatures T<Tc
Probing New Physics From CP Violation in Radiative B Decays
When new CP-violating interactions are dominated by flavor changing neutral
particle exchanges, that may occur in many extensions of the standard model. We
examine a type 3 two Higgs doublet model and find that direct CP asymmetries
can be as large as about 25% . Time-dependent and time-integrated
mixing-induced CP asymmetries up to 85 and 40 %, respectively, are possible
without conflict with other constraints. It mainly requirs an enhanced
chromo-magnetic dipole decay to be close to the present experimental
bound.Comment: 7 pages, latex, no figure
BCS - BEC crossover and quantum hydrodynamics in p-wave superfluids with a symmetry of the A1 - phase
We solve the Leggett equations for the BCS - BEC crossover in the three
dimension resonance p-wave superfluid with the symmetry of the A1 - phase. We
calculate the sound velocity, the normal density, and the specific heat for the
BCS-domain (\mu > 0), BEC-domain (\mu < 0), and close to important point \mu =
0 in 100% polarized case. We find the indications of quantum phase - transition
close to the point \mu(T = 0) = 0. Deep in the BCS and BEC-domains the
crossover ideas of Leggett and Nozieres, Schmitt-Rink work pretty well. We
discuss the spectrum of orbital waves, the paradox of intrinsic angular
momentum and complicated problem of chiral anomaly in the BCS A1 - phase at T =
0. We present two different approaches to a chiral anomaly: one based on
supersymmetric hydrodynamics, another one on the formal analogy with the Dirac
equation in quantum electrodynamics. We evaluate the damping of nodal fermions
due to different decay processes in superclean case at T = 0 and find that we
are in a ballistic regime \omega\tau >> 1. We propose to use aerogel or
nonmagnetic impurities to reach hydrodynamic regime \omega\tau<< 1 at T = 0. We
discuss the concept of the spectral flow and exact cancellations between
time-derivatives of anomalous and quasiparticle currents in the equation for
the total linear momentum conservation. We propose to derive and solve the
kinetic equation for the nodal quasiparticles both in the hydrodynamic and in
the ballistic regimes to demonstrate this cancellation explicitly. We briefly
discuss the role of the other residual interactions different from damping and
invite experimentalists to measure the spectrum and damping of orbital waves in
A-phase of 3He at low temperatures.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figure
Intercluster Correlation in Seismicity
Mega et al.(cond-mat/0212529) proposed to use the ``diffusion entropy'' (DE)
method to demonstrate that the distribution of time intervals between a large
earthquake (the mainshock of a given seismic sequence) and the next one does
not obey Poisson statistics. We have performed synthetic tests which show that
the DE is unable to detect correlations between clusters, thus negating the
claimed possibility of detecting an intercluster correlation. We also show that
the LR model, proposed by Mega et al. to reproduce inter-cluster correlation,
is insufficient to account for the correlation observed in the data.Comment: Comment on Mega et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 90. 188501 (2003)
