Microscopic Calculation of Total Ordinary Muon Capture Rates for Medium - Weight and Heavy Nuclei
Total Ordinary Muon Capture (OMC) rates are calculated on the basis of the
Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation for several spherical nuclei from
90^Zr to 208^Pb. It is shown that total OMC rates calculated with the free
value of the axial-vector coupling constant g_A agree well with the
experimental data for medium-size nuclei and exceed considerably the
experimental rates for heavy nuclei. The sensitivity of theoretical OMC rates
to the nuclear residual interactions is discussed.Comment: 27 pages and 3 figure
Nonlinear thermo-optical properties of two-layered spherical system of gold nanoparticle core and water vapor shell during initial stage of shell expansion
Nonlinear thermo-optical properties of two-layered spherical system of gold nanoparticle core and water vapor shell, created under laser heating of nanoparticle in water, were theoretically investigated. Vapor shell expansion leads to decreasing up to one to two orders of magnitude in comparison with initial values of scattering and extinction of the radiation with wavelengths 532 and 633 nm by system while shell radius is increased up to value of about two radii of nanoparticle. Subsequent increasing of shell radius more than two radii of nanoparticle leads to rise of scattering and extinction properties of system over initial values. The significant decrease of radiation scattering and extinction by system of nanoparticle-vapor shell can be used for experimental detection of the energy threshold of vapor shell formation and investigation of the first stages of its expansion
The Boltzmann equation for colourless plasmons in hot QCD plasma. Semiclassical approximation
Within the framework of the semiclassical approximation, we derive the
Boltzmann equation describing the dynamics of colorless plasmons in a hot QCD
plasma. The probability of the plasmon-plasmon scattering at the leading order
in the coupling constant is obtained. This probability is gauge-independent at
least in the class of the covariant and temporal gauges. It is noted that the
structure of the scattering kernel possesses important qualitative difference
from the corresponding one in the Abelian plasma, in spite of the fact that we
focused our study on the colorless soft excitations. It is shown that
four-plasmon decay is suppressed by the power of relative to the process of
nonlinear scattering of plasmons by thermal particles at the soft momentum
scale. It is stated that the former process becomes important in going to the
ultrasoft region of the momentum scale.Comment: 41, LaTeX, minor changes, identical to published versio
