Classicalization of Quantum Fluctuation in Inflationary Universe

We discuss the classicalization of a quantum state induced by an environment in the inflationary stage of the universe. The classicalization is necessary for the homogeneous ground sate to become classical non-homogeneous one accompanied with the statistical fluctuation, which is a plausible candidate for the seeds of structure formation. Using simple models, we show that i) the two classicalization criteria, the classical correlation and quantum decoherence, are simultaneously satisfied by the environment and that ii) the power spectrum of the resultant statistical fluctuation depends upon the detail of the classicalization process. Especially, the result ii) means that, taking account of the classicalization process, the inflationary scenario does not necessarily predict the unique spectrum which is usually believed.Comment: 24 pages, Latex, 2 Postscript figure

Liquid phase epitaxy of GaAlAs on GaAs substrates with fine surface corrugations

Liquid phase epitaxy of GaAlAs was performed on GaAs fine surface corrugations. By optimizing the growth conditions, GaAlAs layers were grown successfully with only minimal meltback

Large- NcN_{c} meson theory

We derive an effective Lagrangian for meson fields. This is done in the light-cone gauge for two-dimensional large-N_c QCD by using the bilocal auxiliary field method. The auxiliary fields are bilocal on light-cone space and their Fourier transformation determines the parton momentum distribution. As the first test of our method, the 't Hooft equation is derived from the effective Lagrangian

Development of hydrogen masers for K-3 VLBI system

Two field operable hydrogen masers were developed for the VLBI joint experiment conducted by the cooperation between RRL and NASA. They are now playing an important role as the time and frequency standard of the K-3 VLBI system, which has also been developed by RRL

Scaling Relations for Collision-less Dark Matter Turbulence

Many scaling relations are observed for self-gravitating systems in the universe. We explore the consistent understanding of them from a simple principle based on the proposal that the collision-less dark matter fluid terns into a turbulent state, i.e. dark turbulence, after crossing the caustic surface in the non-linear stage. The dark turbulence will not eddy dominant reflecting the collision-less property. After deriving Kolmogorov scaling laws from Navier-Stokes equation by the method similar to the one for Smoluchowski coagulation equation, we apply this to several observations such as the scale-dependent velocity dispersion, mass-luminosity ratio, magnetic fields, and mass-angular momentum relation, power spectrum of density fluctuations. They all point the concordant value for the constant energy flow per mass: $0.3 cm^2/sec^3$, which may be understood as the speed of the hierarchical coalescence process in the cosmic structure formation.Comment: 26 pages, 6 figure
