Interacting multi-component exciton gases in a potential trap: phase separation and Bose-Einstein condensation
The system under consideration is a multi-component gas of interacting para-
and orthoexcitons confined in a three dimensional potential trap. We calculate
the spatially resolved optical emission spectrum due to interband transitions
involving weak direct and phonon mediated exciton-photon interactions. For each
component, the occurrence of a Bose-Einstein condensate changes the spectrum in
a characteristic way so that it directly reflects the constant chemical
potential of the excitons and the renormalization of the quasiparticle
excitation spectrum. Moreover, the interaction between the components leads, in
dependence on temperature and particle number, to modifications of the spectra
indicating phase separation of the subsystems. Typical examples of density
profiles and luminescence spectra of ground-state para- and orthoexcitons in
cuprous oxide are given.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
Charm production in deep inelastic and diffractive scattering
We consider the production of charm by real and virtual photons. Special
attention is paid to diffractive charm production, which provides information
on the gluonic content of the Pomeron. Our calculations are based on the gluon
distributions of the CKMT-model, which is shown to lead to agreement with the
data on open charm production in deep inelastic scattering. We compare
predictions for diffractive charm production of different models for the
distribution of gluons in the Pomeron. Experiments at HERA should be able to
discriminate between them. Predictions for beauty production in diffractive and
non-diffractive interactions of photons are also given.Comment: 14 pages REVTEX and 24 figures include
Ultrafast magnetophotoconductivity of semi-insulating gallium arsenide
The speed of opto-electronic switches is increased or decreased by the application of a magnetic field. This is achieved by inducing a carrier drift toward or away from the semiconductor surface, resulting in the enhancement or suppression of surface recombination. We establish that surface recombination plays a major role in determining the speed of the opto-electronic switch
Resonance Production on Nuclei at High Energies: Nuclear-Medium Effects and Space-Time Picture
The influence of nuclear matter on the properties of coherently produced
resonances is discussed. It is shown that, in general, the mass distribution of
resonance decay products has a two-component structure corresponding to decay
outside and inside the nucleus. The first (narrow) component of the amplitude
has a Breit-Wigner form determined by the vacuum values of mass and width of
the resonance. The second (broad) component corresponds to interactions of the
resonance with the nuclear medium. It can be also described by a Breit-Wigner
shape with parameters depending e.g. on the nuclear density and on the cross
section of the resonance-nucleon interaction. The resonance production is
examined both at intermediate energies, where interactions with the nucleus can
be considered as a series of successive local rescatterings, and at high
energies, , where a change of interaction picture occurs. This
change of mechanisms of the interactions with the nucleus is typical for the
description within the Regge theory approach and is connected with the nonlocal
nature of the reggeon interaction.Comment: 22 pages LaTeX, 1 Postscript file containing 7 figures; addition in

Preliminary design study of advanced multistage axial flow core compressors
A preliminary design study was conducted to identify an advanced core compressor for use in new high-bypass-ratio turbofan engines to be introduced into commercial service in the 1980's. An evaluation of anticipated compressor and related component 1985 state-of-the-art technology was conducted. A parametric screening study covering a large number of compressor designs was conducted to determine the influence of the major compressor design features on efficiency, weight, cost, blade life, aircraft direct operating cost, and fuel usage. The trends observed in the parametric screening study were used to develop three high-efficiency, high-economic-payoff compressor designs. These three compressors were studied in greater detail to better evaluate their aerodynamic and mechanical feasibility
The electron spectra in the synchrotron nebula of the supernova remnant G 29.7-0.3
EXOSAT results obtained with the imaging instrument (CMA) and the medium energy proportional counters (ME) are discussed. Assuming that the featureless power-law spectrum obtained in the 2 to 10 keV range is synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons, one derives constraints on magnetic field strength and age of the nebula. The energy spectra of the electrons responsible for the emission in the radio and X-ray ranges are discussed. The great similarity of the physical properties of G 29.7-0.3 and of three synchrotron nebulae containing a compact object observed to pulse in X-rays makes G 29.7 - 0.3 a very promising candidate for further search for pulsed emission. Further observations at infrared wavelengths might reveal the break(s) in the emitted spectrum expected from the radio and X-ray power-law indices and give us more information on the production of the electron populations responsible for the emission of the nebula
A para-differential renormalization technique for nonlinear dispersive equations
For \alpha \in (1,2) we prove that the initial-value problem \partial_t
u+D^\alpha\partial_x u+\partial_x(u^2/2)=0 on \mathbb{R}_x\times\mathbb{R}_t;
u(0)=\phi, is globally well-posed in the space of real-valued L^2-functions. We
use a frequency dependent renormalization method to control the strong low-high
frequency interactions.Comment: 42 pages, no figure
