Electron spin quantum beats in positively charged quantum dots: nuclear field effects
We have studied the electron spin coherence in an ensemble of positively charged InAs/GaAs quantum dots. In a transverse magnetic field, we show that two main contributions must be taken into account to explain the damping of the circular polarization oscillations. The first one is due to the nuclear field fluctuations...

Verification of stable operation of rapid single flux quantum devices with selective dissipation
It has been suggested that Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) devices could be used as the classical interface of superconducting qubit systems. One problem is that the interface acts as a dissipative environment for a qubit. Recently ways to modify the RSFQ damping to reduce the dissipation have been introduced. One of ...

RPAE versus RPA for the Tomonaga model with quadratic energy dispersion
Recently the damping of the collective charge (and spin) modes of interacting fermions in one spatial dimension was studied. It results from the nonlinear correction to the energy dispersion in the vicinity of the Fermi points. To investigate the damping one has to replace the random phase approximation (RPA) bare bubb...

Spin dynamics across the superfluid-insulator transition of spinful bosons
Bosons with non-zero spin exhibit a rich variety of superfluid and insulating phases. Most phases support coherent spin oscillations, which have been the focus of numerous recent experiments. These spin oscillations are Rabi oscillations between discrete levels deep in the insulator, while deep in the superfluid they c...

Edge magnetoplasmons in a partially screened two-dimensional electron gas on a helium surface
We report a study of edge magnetoplasmons in a partially-screened system of electrons on a helium surface. We compare experimental results with theories of the frequency, damping, and penetration-depth dependence on magnetic field, temperature-dependent damping, and the dependence of the frequency on screening. We show...

On the problem of semiinfinite beam oscillation with internal damping
We study the Cauchy problem for the equation of the form $$ \ddot{u}(t) + (\aa A + B)\dot{u}(t) + (A+G)u(t) = 0,\tag* $$ where $A$, $B$, and $G$ are \o s in a Hilbert space $\Cal H$ with $A$ selfadjoint, $\sigma(A)=[0,\infty)$, $B\ge0$ bounded, and $G$ symmetric and $A$-subordinate in a certain sense.

Decoherence, Correlation, and Unstable Quantum States in Semiclassical Cosmology
It is demonstrated that almost any S-matrix of quantum field theory in curved spaces posses an infinite set of complex poles (or branch cuts). These poles can be transformed into complex eigenvalues, the corresponding eigenvectors being Gamow vectors. All this formalism, which is heuristic in ordinary Hilbert space, be...

Effects of weak self-interactions in a relativistic plasma on cosmological perturbations
The exact solutions for linear cosmological perturbations which have been obtained for collisionless relativistic matter within thermal field theory are extended to a self-interacting case.

ON THE OSCILLATION SPECTRA OF ULTRA COMPACT STARS
Quasinormal modes of ultra compact stars with uniform energy density have been calculated. For less compact stars, there is only one very slowly damped polar mode (corresponding to the Kelvin f-mode) for each spherical harmonic index $l$. Further long-lived modes become possible for a sufficiently compact star (roughly...

Vorticity affects the stability of neutron stars
The spin rate \Omega of neutron stars at a given temperature T is constrained by the interplay between gravitational-radiation instabilities and viscous damping. Navier-Stokes theory has been used to calculate the viscous damping timescales and produce a stability curve for r-modes in the (\Omega,T) plane. In Navier-St...

Gravitational Wave Damping of Neutron Star Wobble
We calculate the effect of gravitational wave (gw) back-reaction on realistic neutron stars (NS's) undergoing torque-free precession. By `realistic' we mean that the NS is treated as a mostly-fluid body with an elastic crust, as opposed to a rigid body. We find that gw's damp NS wobble on a timescale tau_{theta} approx...

Tests of strong-field gravity and gravitational radiation damping in binary-pulsar systems
This talk reviews the constraints imposed by binary-pulsar data on gravity theories, and notably on "scalar-tensor" theories which are the most natural alternatives to general relativity. Because neutron stars have a strong gravitational binding energy, binary-pulsar tests are qualitatively different from solar-system ...

Electroweak Baryogenesis and Standard Model CP Violation
We analyze the mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis proposed by Farrar and Shaposhnikov in which the phase of the CKM mixing matrix is the only source of $CP$ violation.

Standard Model CP-violation and Baryon asymmetry Part II: Finite Temperature
We consider the scattering of quasi-particles off the boundary created during a first order electroweak phase transition. Spatial coherence is lost due to the quasi-quark damping rate, and we show that reflection on the boundary is suppressed, even at tree-level. Simply on CP considerations, we argue against electrowea...

Bubble Collisions and Defect Formation in a Damping Environment
Within the context of a first-order phase transition in the early Universe, we study the collision process for vacuum bubbles expanding in a plasma.

Pair creation is initiated by an external impulse field and the source term is non-Markovian. A simultaneous solution of Maxwell's equation in the presence of feedback ...

Barrier penetration and rotational damping of thermally excited superdeformed nuclei
We construct a microscopic model of thermally excited superdeformed states that describes both the barrier penetration mechanism, leading to the decay-out transitions to normal deformed states, and the rotational damping causing fragmentation of rotational E2 transitions. We describe the barrier penetration by means of...

Stability of Travelling Waves for a Damped Hyperbolic Equation
We consider a nonlinear damped hyperbolic equation in $\real^n$, $1 \le n \le 4$, depending on a positive parameter $\epsilon$. If we set $\epsilon=0$, this equation reduces to the well-known Kolmogorov-Petrovski-Piskunov equation. We remark that, after a change of variables, this hyperbolic equation has the same famil...

Stability of Propagating Fronts in Damped Hyperbolic Equations
We consider the damped hyperbolic equation in one space dimension $\epsilon u_{tt} + u_t = u_{xx} + F(u)$, where $\epsilon$ is a positive, not necessarily small parameter. We assume that $F(0)=F(1)=0$ and that $F$ is concave on the interval $[0,1]$. Under these assumptions, our equation has a continuous family of monot...

Existence threshold for the ac-driven damped nonlinear Schrödinger solitons
It has been known for some time that solitons of the externally driven, damped nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation can only exist if the driver's strength, $h$, exceeds approximately $(2/ \pi) \gamma$, where $\gamma$ is the dissipation coefficient. Although this perturbative result was expected to be correct only to the l...

Exact time evolution and master equations for the damped harmonic oscillator
Using the exact path integral solution for the damped harmonic oscillator it is shown that in general there does not exist an exact dissipative Liouville operator describing the dynamics of the oscillator for arbitrary initial bath preparations. Exact non-stationary Liouville operators can be found only for particular ...

Cluster ionization via two-plasmon excitation
We calculate the two-photon ionization of clusters for photon energies near the surface plasmon resonance. The results are expressed in terms of the ionization rate of a double plasmon excitation, which is calculated perturbatively. For the conditions of the experiment by Schlipper et al., we find an ionization rate of...

Rectangular Waveguide HOM Couplers for a TESLA Superstructure
Some modifications of a Rectangular Waveguide HOM couplers for TESLA superstructure have been investigated. These RWG HOM couplers are to be installed between the cavities of the superstructure and also at the both ends of it. We investigated a RWG HOM coupler attached to the beam pipe through the slots orientated alon...

Design of a 3 GHz Accelerator Structure for the CLIC Test Facility (CTF 3) Drive Beam
For the CLIC two-beam scheme, a high-current, long-pulse drive beam is required for RF power generation. Taking advantage of the 3 GHz klystrons available at the LEP injector once LEP stops, a 180 MeV electron accelerator is being constructed for a nominal beam current of 3.5 A and 1.5 microsecond pulse length. The hig...

Superconducting Superstructure for the TESLA Collider: New Results
A new cavity-chain layout has been proposed for the main linac of the TESLA linear collider. This superstructure-layout is based upon four 7-cell superconducting standing-wave cavities, coupled by short beam pipes. The main advantages of the superstructure are an increase in the active accelerating length in TESLA and ...

An Investigation of Optimised Frequency Distributions for Damping Wakefields in X-Band Linacs for the NLC
In the NLC (Next Linear Collider) small misalignments in each of the individual accelerator structures (or the accelerator cells) will give rise to wakefields which kick the beam from its electrical axis. This wakefield can cause BBU (Beam Break Up) or at the very least it will dilute the emittance of the beam. Several...

The parameters for a 30 GeV test beam are outlined for use with an undulator in the FFTB tunnel where the LCLS will eventually be housed. It is proposed to use the SLAC linac and damping rings in their present mode of operation for PEP II injection, where 30 GeV beams are also delivered at 10 Hz to the FFTB. High peak ...

Intrabeam scattering analysis of measurements at KEK's ATF damping ring
We derive a simple relation for estimating the relative emittance growth in x and y due to intrabeam scattering (IBS) in electron storage rings. We show that IBS calculations for the ATF damping ring, when using the formalism of Bjorken-Mtingwa, a modified formalism of Piwinski (where eta squared divided by beta has be...

Calculation of the Coherent Synchrotron Radiation Impedance from a Wiggler
Most studies of Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) have only considered the radiation from independent dipole magnets. However, in the damping rings of future linear colliders, a large fraction of the radiation power will be emitted in damping wigglers. In this paper, the longitudinal wakefield and impedance due to C...

Damping factors for the gap-tooth scheme
An important class of problems exhibits macroscopically smooth behaviour in space and time, while only a microscopic evolution law is known. For such time-dependent multi-scale problems, the gap-tooth scheme has recently been proposed. The scheme approximates the evolution of an unavailable (in closed form) macroscopic...

Propagation of optical excitations by dipolar interactions in metal nanoparticle chains
Dispersion relations for dipolar modes propagating along a chain of metal nanoparticles are calculated by solving the full Maxwell equations, including radiation damping. The nanoparticles are treated as point dipoles, which means the results are valid only for a/d <= 1/3, where a is the particle radius and d the spaci...

Wave-kinetic description of nonlinear photons
The nonlinear interaction, due to quantum electrodynamical (QED) effects, between photons is investigated using a wave-kinetic description. Starting from a coherent wave description, we use the Wigner transform technique to obtain a set of wave-kinetic equations, the so called Wigner-Moyal equations. These equations ar...
